The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

Brushing up on Prototype skills for an existing project makes me feel like a cheating love rat. Will be back to jQuery with roses and chocs!

Noticing that on my MacBook, I can x-axis two finger scroll through my Firefox tabs when they extend beyond the window. Sweet.

Hoping that readers of the Re-tweets of my recent link to a shocking Flash "web site" realise that I was conveying horror, and not delight.

OH: "That's awful", "No it's awesome!", "ok, it's awful-some" (referring to the gratuitous Flash-ness of http://www.iccm-1.org/)

Hanging my head after @casablanca replies to my Q with "Let me Google that for you". Reminds me of @psd: "There's this thing called the Web"

Dear Adobe. Can you at least keep your major keyboard shortcuts common across your CS3 applications? kthxbai

Feeling popular and talked about in my new office (except that most times I hear my name, people are referring to one of the other 2 Phils)

Wasting an early start by hunting around for whatever it is in my vicinity which is making that subtle beeping noise every 90 seconds. Grrrr

The new issue tracker on GitHub looks fantastic. GitHub really can be a one-stop-shop for many projects now. http://is.gd/sQ89

@kulor Thanks for the file input styling tips. It's not particularly good news though, is it! :(

Anyone have a nice way to style those troublesome <input type='file'> elements? No solution I have found so far degrades particularly well.

Bracing myself for a day of meetings and introductions. Still, starting the week with a Monmouth flat white in the sunshine works for me!

Like @NathanBowers, I too am utterly addicted to FlightControl on the iPhone. Fun, simple and beautifully presented. http://is.gd/q3Ea

Wondering at the genius that is the shakerato with lime zest I'm currently sipping. Where have these been all my life?!

Trying to keep my chin up in this hot office as I un-stitch lots of code changes that I made recently. For the best, but far from satisfying
