š For those that knowā¦
I really think āWayfinderā is a bad idea.
Weāre already trying to undo āGutenbergā.
One issue is the precedent we set by not following convention.
Letās call the dashboard āWidgetvilleā and the admin bar āHeadspaceā or something.
Iām being facetious. Butā¦
š¤Ŗ I think that from now on my signature social media post format will be the long-compound-adjective-with-lots-of-hyphens one.
š Lol. The what-shall-we-call-the-WordPresss-command-palette GitHub issue is about to
blow up then!

š Reading a car recall notice (not for my car).
Good to know motor manufacturers have figured out that whole-car-dies-when-a-tiny-electrical-component-fails-thing since that dodgy Peugeot we bought 15 years ago!
I hate that Iām spending so much time thinking about ā¦ A CAR!!
Really hope itās temporary.
Please send pictures of nice bikes!!
Someone had commented implying that my battery issue was an EV problem.
It wasnāt.
It was a vehicle electronics issue.
The same thing would have happened with the equivalent ICE or hybrid car.
The irony is that I had 20kWh of power in the car but was not able to use any of it to power the cars electronics!! š
So, hilariously, my fancy new EV broke today. Wouldnāt turn on!! How?
Well, the good news is that the 40kWh main battery is fine.
But thereās also a regular 12v battery that powersā¦wellā¦everything thatās not the motor. Locks, lights, sound, displays, electronics.
And it turns out that everything turns off when you open the drivers door. But this is NOT the case for the passenger door.
So the media display was left on, the 12v battery drained, and the car was dead.

Iām writing an EV (electric vehicle) "cheat sheetā that tries to combine all the different terminology and units into one, independent, succinct, place.
It's in-progress, but nearly complete now.
https://rosswintle.uk/2023/06/my-simple-ev-terminology-cheatsheet/
When researching EV's I found there were lots of articles and videos about the individual topics, but not a place to quickly learn the basics of everything. So this should fix that.
Please send corrections if anything is wrong. Thanks. I hope this is useful for someone.
Iām sorry. Iām really really sorry. But I tried the latest version of the Gutenberg plugin for WordPress and the UI is just getting worse. I donāt know how this is happening. I donāt even know how to start describing the issues. Weāre really at sunk cost fallacy time. Maybe block editing is OK (itās not, IMO)? But the way pages have been put into the site editor and the way the command centre has been plopped into the UI in several places with inconsistent affordances.
I know itās beta. Butā¦
Actually reading the manual for my new (electric) car.
Kinda feel like this deserves to be more prominent! š¬
š¤ Did some training today on biases in the workplace. Really helpful.
I reflected that I donāt judge/stereotype people based on race/gender/colour.
But Iāll completely assume who you are from your communication style and tech choices!
Eeek!!
š· Iām at the point where I want to just round up all the brilliant people Iāve worked with and start some kind of software agency with them.
THAT would be amazing.
I work with and have worked with some completely brilliant people.
What a joy!!
ā Iām more and more convinced that people are missing out on good coffee because ādark roastā has been marketed as āstrongā and people want āstrongā coffee.
Iām just loving lighter roasts gently filtered.
(Such a #coffeeSnob š)
ā ļø Testing an integration…
āWe should stop using JavaScript. It has so many congenital defects. It really is a smelly language. Thereās just a lot of crap in it.ā

Really boring traits that Iām increasingly valuing highly in both myself and others:
– Strong curiosity that doesnāt want mysteries unsolved
– The ability and desire to share knowledge, not hoard it
– The desire to write stuff down because you know you will forget it and others might want to know it
– The ability and patience to write clear and detailed instructions
This is cool. We should make some of our own tools:
On the upside: I know have a fancy grey saloon car.
On the downside: So does everyone else!! š¬
Putting all of the ālate June" end-of-school-year activities in my calendar.
Why is so much of the āfun" stuff at school about public performance and being overly-sociable?
– Residential trips
– Theatrical productions
– "Sports" Day
Where is "Sitting in a quiet room and doing cool nerdy shit on your own dayā?
