… and after I took great pains to translate it into Romanian for you 😂
(I will also point out that the bridge section invites the listener to—and I quote—”listen with [their] eyes", which probably explains a lot…)
Let's do this.

Well, this is just adorable: I wonder if my client will let me sneak it into the current project… www.pigenpalace.com/dogspinner/
I have made it to Dec 6th before being Wham-ed. How’s everyone else doing?
Aha, that’ll do it! Best of luck with the maintenance!
Anyone in the UK getting extremely slow resolution from
@quad9dns.bsky.social at the moment? Currently seeing queries taking up to 3.5s, with more than a few timeouts for good measure :/
Suffice to say, though, despite the ups and downs of self-employment, I am significantly happier doing it than I ever was as a permie; so here’s to another 15 years #selfEmployment #devLife
[2/2]
I’ve just realised that my 15 year self-employment anniversary managed to sneak by uncommented yesterday. I keep thinking that I should write about the whole thing at some point, but there’re so many folk who’ve written about it, I’m not sure what more I can add.

(this is on top of all the other minor niggles about the ‘Music’ app that have been getting steadily worse over time because Apple doesn’t give a damn about software quality, but the prev/next thing is by far the most irritating because it happens ALL THE TIME)
Been using Apple Music a lot more after watching @jjbbllkk.bsky.social’s recent video about Spotify.
Anyone know who I can harass at Apple so they actually fix the prev/next track functionality when using shuffle. Such a basic bit of UX that has been unusably broken for too long…
Creative folk who’ve ditched the Adobe stack: what’re your favourite Photoshop replacements?
I’ve been trying to love the Affinity suite for about a year; Designer and Publisher are fine, but while Photo has some nice touches, I just… don’t love it. I’m curious as to what other folk are using.
Heading back home after three days cosplaying an extrovert at a trade show with/for a client. It’s been incredibly tiring but a lot of fun. Got a laundry list of things I/we want to do as a result, but first I need to lay down and not move for at least 12 hours.
… and, of course, it wouldn’t be a journey in a Voyager if I didn’t end up sitting in a luggage rack because TOCs in this country seem to be constantly surprised that folk actually use their services 🙄
(I’d mind less had I not paid £82 for the privilege)
Well, this one is in a better condition than the last one I was on; but it’s still badly in need of refurbishment… or better yet, scrapping and replacing with something that’s not horrendously cramped and, somehow, still stinks of toilets.
Oh great: my train has been ‘upgraded’ to a Voyager. I wonder how well this one has been maintained…
had to try CSS filter + SVG glass displacement on webcam input – crank saturation for cheap gold ✨
I’ve been really enjoying Calum’s channel recently ( youtube.com/@calumraasay ); great for deep-dives into very niche subjects.
Also, Curries with Bumbi ( youtube.com/@currieswith... ) is just *lovely*.
havin' a play with: backdrop-filter: url(#glass);
Gecko/Webkit 🙏
… I’m going to have to add this to my next project as an Easter egg, aren’t I?
Study on London 20 mph limits shows:
- collisions ⬇️ 35%
- casualties ⬇️ 36%
- fatal/serious injuries ⬇️ 34%
- child casualties ⬇️ 46%
- child deaths ⬇️ 75%
- walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists killed/seriously injured ⬇️ 28%

For the record:
Any #cssday folk still in Amsterdam up for food/drinks/discussing the shape of the web this evening?
Thanks for writing it!
And you’ll need to come join us at some point—it’s such a good conference (& the people are the best)
… dear gods of bsky: can we have post editing, please? I might possibly have gotten a little too used to it on masto, and it would save the amount of post-delete-repost cycles I go through 😆
Also, there were a few conversations at #cssday (not to mention Bruce’s closing keynote) that made me think of something my friend @robbowen.digital wrote recently.
I assume a lot of folk have already seen it, but for those that haven’t: robbowen.digital/wrote-about/...
To summarise the past couple days at #cssday for the bsky folks: wow! I expected it to be good, and I was very much not disappointed.
Also very glad that I’m also taking next week off so I can mess around with all this cool new stuff! :D
Will definitely be back next year, see y’all then!
I forget who I was talking to at #cssday yesterday about poisoning AI via YouTube subtitles, but here’s a video explaining how it works in any case :)

(I wonder if there’s a way of doing something similar on the web, but without completely screwing over AT users)
