Finally, today … after listing and selling (some of the) -90 odd items on eBay, I can finally see a bit of space in the office.

Still - lots to do and clear out.

I’m currently at around 20 network cables of various sizes, why‽

I think I’ve made an absolute banger of a marry me chicken in the slow cooker today.

just restrung one of my guitars (before hocking it on eBay) for the first time in ~15 years.

An 2010-11 Ibanez DN600 Darkstone in shattered mirror sparkle.

5. Significant decline in developer participation: Only 12.7% of respondents were developers, down from 21.3% in the previous survey. Increased cross-functional collaboration is needed.

6. 85.8% of design tokens are managed by designers, mostly within dedicated design system teams. Developers only own tokens in 9.9% of cases, showing a strong design-led governance trend.

The problrm(?) with having wine whilst cooking dinner (an ‘Italian’ sausage and pasta dish tonight) is the bottle ends up empty before the dish is served. Oops.

Watching the online Into Design Systems conference.

🤞 it might give me some chutzpah to get out of this hole I've been in for ~12 months.

Presenting first round of logo ideas to a new client, and just as the meeting started, I questioned whether I'd got the company name right. That's a new one on the list of overthinking anxieties

sigh I have an American client who is having trouble, they say, being able to convert to £ (their end) for paying me. I have business bank account for my LTD that only accepts £ or €, apparently.

Anyone know of a way around this? A service either they or I could use? I would really prefer not to change bank accounts. Wish I'd know Starling was this limited at the outset.

All 48 iPad models in the 2024 lineup https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/07/every-ipad-2024/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Last iPad toot, promise!

Not really bothered about:

• OLED
• Pencil squeeze gesture
• M4(it's always been fast)

slightly more bothered about:

• thinner (too thin? Bent iPads in the first few weeks?)
• lighter (always nice)

and would really like:

• Pencil hover (which came out after I bought my iPad)
• Pencil barrel roll (shame I can't just upgrade the pencil)

wonder if 'nano texture glass' would give a more paperlike feel (I never got on the with the actual paperlike screen protectors)

Off to the local Odeon with Ethan to see The Fall Guy this morning as Ethan liked the trailer.

I’ll be crying inside as it pulls at my memories of Saturday (Sunday) evening TV, Lee Majors and that Chevy pickup.

So much time and energy being spent on a tired layout

Eith some recent client work (finally), they were not a fan of BEM'ing everything and I tried and failed to find 'the post' I was looking for about how we could name things and write CSS instead.

Just found it:
