Pandemic jottings

Around two months ago I started to work from home everyday due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I wasn't really going to write about this as it is hardly positive but I changed my mind after reading an article suggesting the exact opposite. This article introduced me to my brand ne...

Redesign in progress

I announced on twitter a couple of days ago that I went a bit rogue on my blog. I removed all the CSS after converting it from Jekyll to Eleventy and I want a brand new design for it. The trouble is I'm not a designer. It doesn't help that I have an irrational hate for white...

TIL: Iframes and performance

Last November I attended FFConf where I saw two talks about performance: one from Anna Migas and another one from Harry Roberts. I instantly memorised one particular thing from each of the talks. From Anna's I took a mental note to add font-display: swap; and from Harry's ta...

Overthinking my nostalgia

The period between 12 and 22, in other words, is the time when you become you. It makes sense, then, that the memories that contribute to this process become uncommonly important throughout the rest of your life. They didn’t just contribute to the development of your self...

Bookmarks of the rest of 2019

Goodbye 2019

This year sucked with the exception of one moment of it. It was a long and draining year. The year number switch doesn’t magically create a brand new blank year where everything bad goes away. In fact, I’ve been dreading the end of 2019 exactly because the end of the year fo...
