Month: January 2018

Wasn’t sure how I was going to fit my little video course UI onto mobile, but I think this is a neat little solution that didn’t take too much CSS.

(Note: Don’t know if this GIF will upload to the micro blog properly…)

I’m really, really, definitely no designer, but I’m trying to build a little dashboard for watching the Laravel videos and tracking progress…IN Laravel of course.

I hope the colour-change-when-watched thing is considered slightly clever. ??‍♂️

Finally recorded the last of my WP to Laravel videos yesterday. Phew! Just some editing and polishing to do. I hope it’s useful to people.

I think I now get as excited about using Trello as number geeks get about using Excel. Hmm…

Actually…nah. I’m not gonna take a selfie. But it was fun thinking about it.

Anyone that’s known me for more than about 5 minutes will know that I care VERY little for fashion.

But I got this super-smart new coat in the sales and I LOVE it and am quite excited about it.

I might even take a selfie!

I kinda hate to write this, and maybe it’s premature, but I used the new/upcoming WordPress “Gutenberg” editor today to write some content with, and it just got in the way and I wanted to turn it off. https://rosswintle.uk/2018/01/wordpress-gutenberg-user/

So, over on Facebook, I did a sort-of ask-me-anything instead of an end-of-year newsletter. And I wrote it up. But if there’s anything you want to know about my 2017, ask in the comments. I don’t promise to answer ANY question.

Tried creating a long post on my blog using WordPress Gutenberg on my iPad.

1) It’s just too complicated when all I want is text + images + embeds. I didn’t want blocks. I wanted to just turn it off.

2) They’ve tried hard on mobile/touch devices, but it needs much more work.

I fell asleep before midnight. I’ve had a lovely walk & lunch with brilliant friends. 2018 is here!

Happy New Year everyone. May you learn & grow. May you have peace & be a blessing to others. May you celebrate the good & have strength in the bad.

Let’s do this!
