Little bit of news:
Next month I will be wrapping up my role as Team Lead on Nord Design System at Nordhealth.

So proud of the work we've done and it's been a privilege to have worked alongside the rest of the Design System team, past and present (cc @ariel, @elwinvaneede, @WickyNilliams & @bellahabib). Here's to the best DS team ever! 🥂💙

dletorey,

@DavidDarnes best of luck with what happens next, not that you'll need it.

Because I’m a masochist, and because I can, I’m going to install #Sonoma on my 2011 13” MBP.

What could possibly go wrong…

dletorey,

@DJDarren I have done this on my 2013 and it's all good

👁️ short note on emoji text alternative variations

https://html5accessibility.com/stuff/2022/01/17/short-note-on-emoji-text-alternative-variations/

dletorey,

@SteveFaulkner I feel that it's our age that means that we don't understand the hidden context of emojis used by the yoof.

Love that "Tweet tweet tweet" is embedded at the bottom and spent ages trying to work out why, then I just enjoyed it instead.

New blog post: Say goodbye to all .DS_Store annoyances in Git repos on a Mac.

https://moritzgiessmann.de/blog/posts/get-rid-of-ds-store-files-in-git-repositories-on-mac/

dletorey,

@MoritzGiessmann
I have a question about this.
I assume that this does not bubble up to the local .gitignore and that if someone then forks your repo the .DS_Store files would then be added, to their forked repo, as they are now not ignored, is this correct?

dletorey,

Today I followed @MoritzGiessmann and found loads of useful stuff.

For example:

Click a dev tools feature and then the browser you are using and it shows/explains how it works, includes #polypane too

🆕 blog! “Gadget Review: Vehhe Ionic Shower Head”
★★★★☆

Look, here's the deal. Sometimes companies send me products to review. I usually try and make sure they're interesting, useful, or delightfully weird. Mostly they're electronic gadgets or cool books. But someone offered to send me a shower head to review. And our old shower head had got a bit gunked up. So I said […]

🆕 blog! “TfL are blocking rooted devices from accessing maps - how to fix”

TfL Go is a handy app. It gives you real-time access to the timetables and delays of London's tube and bus network. That's all you can do with it. You can't buy tickets, store a photocard, or anything like that. Which was why I was annoyed when this popped up in-app one day: I emailed […]

dletorey,

@Edent Have you not considered citymapper, which does the same but also many other cities across the world and detects when you are in a different city
https://citymapper.com/cities

dletorey,

@Edent mostly in London I know where I'm going although find it super useful when I turn up in another city. The other day it told me how to get to my destination in Nottingham.

Solid couple of days coding and scraping data out of (signed in) goodreads pages to get a much more accurate starting point of date for my books page.

If anyone is actually subscribed to the RSS (or my "all RSS") - you'll start seeing my book reviews again (for what they're worth…).

I spent 4 hours last week looking for a specific cable I needed for ffconf.

So of course it stands to reason that today I found two of those cables in the box of cables that I looked in multiple times!!!! <stupid-me>

dletorey,

@rem is <stupid-me> a new web component that you've created?
Where can I download it?

On my way to London for HalfStack Conference. Flying to London City, which according to Jay Foremen is only for wankers. So I decided to go all in and fly business as well. In for a penny…
