The journey continues: a website that has 75 rules NESTED 37 LEVELS DEEP It seems caused by a `<style id="wp-custom-css">` block (oh, the horror!). All media queries are missing a closing `}` making each one level deeper than the previous.

Moved a site off Wix onto a bespoke WordPress last Thursday. Client has had so many enquiries they’re having to hire someone to handle them all 🙌 Def need to turn this into a case study…

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

Jesus Christ the random apps you open when you’ve taken other social media off your phone. No brain, there is no crumb of dopamine in my burglar alarm settings.

What? “Everybody has it open”? I don’t even know where chatGPT lives

I love that @piccalil.li’s Complete CSS comes with a lesson on how to use Slack properly. Because yes, if you just send me “hey”, you go straight on my enemies list.

He's legitimately been the most requested subject for years, finally Jonathan Carnahan joins the rest of my Mummy pin-ups Thanks again to Matthew for commissioning him! #TheMummy #art Available as an A4 print on my Etsy! bossrushstudio.etsy.com/ie/listing/4...

i do indeed miss old friends in Notepad++, and Dreamweaver, and FileZilla. i miss the excitement of FTP, and the sheen of the first domain i ever bought; the endless ensuing hallways of subsequent subdomains. i miss feeling the modem noises in my teeth, and the dirt of the web beneath my fingernails

If anyone was wondering what I’m powered by, it’s chocolate, soy milk and spite.

The dust of decades settles on your keyboard as you push aside lines of vendor prefixes Your fedora casts shadows over cryptic CSS hacks from another era. "This belongs in a museum" you mutter ReliCSS: The front-end archaeologist's tool for navigating legacy CSS www.alwaystwisted.com/relicss/ 🙏🖤

A thread 🧵 of _terrible_ design decisions for the internal APIs of the two Italian high speed train operators, Italo and Trenitalia. Hardcoded passwords, terrible translations, spelling mistakes, xml in json (but utf8 encoded and transmitted as an array of numbers), it's all here. Enjoy!

Happy couch potato Sunday to all the neurodivergent people, currently depleted from too much sociabilisation. Remember: taking time to recharge is not being lazy, it's self-care, to avoid burning out, especially since we might need some energy for the 31th!

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go. Gonna be great then!

First day of hols. Eating avocado maki and someone else’s Xmas chocolate for breakfast.

Brain battery: 2%

I have opened 13 days of my advent calendar, which is a clue to how this month is going.

Yes I know them, we went to Twitter together.

Flippin’ proud of this one… design of my ‘Gnarlybot’ virtual pinball table ‘playfield’ is pretty much done, bar a few little graphic tweaks!! Onto the design of the rest of the virtual cabinet now!

Moevember 2025 is complete! I hope you enjoyed what has, once again, been a really stupid Moe-nth. Thank you to anyone who has took a Moe-ment to appreciate Springfield’s favourite bartender. Keep the Moe spirit in your heart all year round.
