Subconscious bias in #UI design? The tab on the right is my new teaching weather app. The left is my wife’s car insurance!

When you’ve been off alcohol for as long as I have, a bar of this is as good as a night out! Delicious!

Fine way to spend a Saturday! Embroiled in the inner machinations of transferring my #Transmit ftp logins and web server #CPanel passwords to new MBP. It’s only been about 15 years now that Mrs. L has been telling me to get a little paper book to write logins in. I concede. 🤦🏻‍♂️👩🏻‍💻

Drafting interview questions for my series of #photography for #frontend instructional videos. More to come Q3 this year. From the kitchen of the FrontendCookbook.com

My teaching #JavaScript weather app now has geolocation plumbed in too. Pretty pleased.

@slider7420 I’ll write it for WGA rates.

@pvsundarb the diners deserved to be on the receiving end of some fun to be had in the kitchen involving non-standard food items… I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination. Of course you only think of these things afterwards. Entire staff must’ve been in a state of shock.

@Ciaraioch fine work, as always. And your print (stove side and dog) I bought for Mrs L’s Christmas went down a storm😎

If you’re ever in #Dublin as I currently am for #Springsteen tomorrow night, go eat at https://fishshack.ie/ Sandymount. Absolutely amazing top class.

I would say a loud and resounding F-that.

#ios techies: what’s this?

When Apple tells you off for having too much of a good time. Roll on #summer.

@ianRobinson nice 👍

@ianRobinson yes but how many people actually A) put any choices other than 1 and 2 and B) know how they are likely to be redistributed so as to vote tactically? I think there’s a huge amount of CBA as people won’t take the time to learn. I’ve been guilty of squandering my vote in the past because of this. It’s counter-intuitive to put down choices of candidates you don’t like because your favourite ones will receive their seconds. Also, very little feedback from party of choice in how to allocate 3s, 4s, and so on. They’re probably not allowed to say, right?

@ianRobinson not enough people (including myself, over the years, down South) understand tactical voting within proportional representation. One can’t help but wonder if they did, would things have been different?
