So…more on WordPress Gutenberg I’m afraid. Where I’m at with it as a developer and business owner:

I’m supposed to be doing my tax return, but I’m coping and pasting content into a blog post instead.
This sums up my feelings on “Investing” in BitCoin
“Investing means buying an asset that actually creates products and services and cashflow for an extended period of time.”
I want to use my money to create value

There’s really not much else you can do. Clever people are working to fix this. You’ll need to trust the experts and just run the updates when they come out!
So until you buy your next “car”, there’s not much you can do to fix the source of the problem. The usual good-security rules apply:
– Keep software/apps up to date
– Don’t install apps/programs from places you don’t trust
– Avoid dodgy websites
– careful what you click in emails
I’m resident tech person for many, so…about these processor issues you’re seeing in the news: These are issues with your “hardware”. It’s like having a design flaw in the engine of your car that causes it to leak oil. The real fix is to buy a new car (or replace the engine).
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.

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!
These aren’t really plans/goals. Just jotting down thoughts.
2) Say “no” more…somehow.
3) Automate more
4) Tick off small admin jobs more quickly/often
5) Reduce notifications
6) Have SPECIFIC times for learning/reading/side projects
Thinking about my plans for 2018. I’ve never really done Inbox Zero. But think I might now have the tools needed to do it. So 1) Aim for Inbox Zero
Pre-Christmas struggles are OK: https://rosswintle.uk/2017/12/pre-christmas-struggles-are-ok/
Wrote that this morning. Am a bit more on top of things now and the world is finally winding down to a proper holiday. But if you’re overwhelmed by it all, you’re not alone.
