I’ve also collated these command line keyboard shortcuts into a cheatsheet for future reference:

A few days ago the climagic Twitter account posted a bunch of super-useful command line keyboard shortcuts. I keep forgetting these, so have collated them in a Moment:

⚡️ “Useful command-line shortcuts”

Trying to write with the new WordPress block editor again. MAN it’s frustrating.

Also, I realise I’ve posted a bunch of things with the default category. Having categories, tags, and excerpt boxes collapsed has meant I’ve forgot to set them before publishing. Argh!

More (moor?) beautiful Devon…

Seeing if I can remove dependency on Google a little. Tried to find a place on Apple Maps. Found it. Opening times good. Location good. Give me directions…

…sends me off in the opposite direction to a totally different place.

Apple Maps is still rubbish then?

Huh. So you change your avatar thinking you’ll need to update it in a zillion places. And then you realise the reach of the Gravatar system!! Wow!

I’m considering coding tech choices for 2019. Should I stick and double down on what I’m working with now? Or branch out into new languages and hope for projects to work with them on?

Beautiful Devon

Wow. I just saw Synthetic Fluorophlogopite on an ingredients list and wondered what it is. I’m now in awe of how good @LushLtd are at auditing their supply chains and taking action on human rights issues! https://uk.lush.com/ingredients/synthetic-fluorphlogopite

Cripes. Affogato with an Aeropressed espresso. Why did I not think of THAT before?!?? 👌

It seems I’ve still not really adjusted to how Facebook has changed society. 🤔

I just had a haircut. And for the first time I actually think I’m properly grey. And in the mirror…I look proper old! 👨🏻‍🦳🙁

At this point I have pretty much no idea how Facebook works. It seems to be wholly unreliable as a meaningful and trustworthy form of communication.

I’ve deleted the apps again.

A closing piece of wisdom for the day: everyone is on their own path. Everyone. Don’t look around and see others on their paths and wish it was your path. Because you aren’t them. You are you. Uniquely, invaluably, brilliantly you. Follow YOUR path.

7yo: But…I’ll lose my place!
Me: Hmm. If only there were some kind of device someone had invented that you could use to remember where you were in my book
7yo: I know!

🤦‍♂️

This fun game I made hasn’t gotten boring in the four whole years since I wrote it. Give it a go!

In shouldn’t be. But I’m joyfully flabbergasted. I’m sure this is the first time ever that not only has a support person actually read and answered EXACTLY the question I asked but they actually repeated my question back to me before answering it.

This is so simple. Why so hard?

I made a quick (un-planned, un-edited) 12 min introduction to breakpoints and debugging JavaScript in Chrome, for some people, if that’s useful to anyone.

(Assumes knowledge of JS functions, scope and stuff)

I think this pilot is drunk

I don’t post many pics of my kids. But I had a moment of great parental pride as the boy turned 7 recently. Here’s my written celebration. ❤️
