Congratulations and so much ♥️ to every single person who worked on @expedition33.bsky.social

TIL Dev Tools recommends a AAA colour!

After 30 years of using them pivot tables are still like magic to me.

Thank you @microsoft.com for your software patch to fix a broken co-pilot AI feature that no-one asked for, or wanted, that is now stuck on both my Surface Laptop and Surface, your own hardware. Linux never looked so tempting.

Umbraco's #24daysinumbraco has been really good so far this year. Loving todays submission and wish I had read it 24 days ago before writing an article! An article about writing articles, very meta. 24days.in/umbraco-cms/...

Alright, it’s out there. Phew! I’ve just shared the full cover for my next book, Fine Specimens, with my lovely newsletter subscribers. It has details on pre-ordering, signed copies, etc. Please feel free to subscribe if you want to be kept up-to-date about the book. You can read the issue online:

Today is the LAST DAY of my Black Friday sale! ⌛️ If you've been thinking about grabbing access to the Practical Accessibility course, now's the time to do it 👇🏻 30% off expires tomorrow: practical-accessibility.today

Perfect timing from @kevinpowell.co in @piccalil.li with "A pragmatic guide to modern CSS colours - part two". I'm currently working on a clients tricky gold link colour for accessibility. I think I have found an OKLCH that is AAA at small text size and lovely! piccalil.li/blog/a-pragm...

Being honest with yourself is hard… not being honest with yourself is harder. Great perspective on burnout by @owain.codes in todays #24daysinumbraco 24days.in/umbraco-cms/...

Tomorrow's the last day!

Happy #umbracoTsday all

Last minute announcement - thanks @deanleigh.bsky.social for the suggestion. Tomorrow is the launch of Umbraco 17 so why not have an #umbracoTees day! Tomorrow, wear your Umbraco swag - post a photo on socials with the hashtag #umbracoTees - tag me so I can find it isitumbracoteesday.today

A first look at the Web Install API brucelawson.co.uk/2025/a-first... I took this Microsoft-stewarded API for a test-drive. Thrills and spills, guaranteed!

Me next year - "like band members starting their own solo projects". I knew we shouldn't have attempted that third album! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@kevinpowell.co is amazing - if you want to learn or improve he has the gift of explaining complex things in an accessible way. This is a real bargain.

My first conference was mkgeeknight.co.uk - I've been back once. I really should go again, I hear it's just as lovely an atmosphere.

Such a massive influence on my listening throughout my teenage year. 💔 #jimmycliff

Nowadays, we can do better: ``` box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgb(from currentcolor r g b/ .65) ``` Cross-browser since September 2024. #tinyCSStip #CSS

I am taking part in #Decembeard which involves the very difficult task of growing a beard. OK it’s not running a marathon, but it is to raise money for a good cause, @bowelcanceruk.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/page/dean-le...

Really proud to announce UmBootstrap v17.0.0-RC3 is now available for testing: dotnet new install Umbraco.Community.Templates.UmBootstrap::17.0.0-rc3 #umbraco #dotnet

I think I listened to this everyday for an entire year when I was 18 years old

I would never usually recommend buying my book — or any books — from Amazon, but I’ve just noticed that they’re currently (in the UK at least) selling it for £12 (RRP £30), so if you’ve been holding off, or you want to grab it for a gift, I wouldn’t hold it against you! amzn.to/47MOtNP

Cursed are the ones who revisit their old code...

First time I've had to prove this outside the fridge even though it's not that cold today.

After a brief break, I'm back on my bread baking business

I know were still in Movember but I need an early start to get a decent santa beard! Please help me raise some money for @bowelcanceruk #Decembeard no matter how small it all helps. www.justgiving.com/page/dean-le...

Adam is killing it! 🤩

I just tested this on Windows with Microsoft Sans Serif and you’re right that it doesn’t include ss02 — but further, applying that font setting requires information in the font file. I don’t believe there is a faux ss02 😅 (an optional cc to @pixelambacht.bsky.social and a shout to wakamaifondue.com)

👀 Navigation API will be available in all browsers soon 🎉 Completely redefines the APIs used to build client-side routers / SPAs 🫤 History API: popState, link click.preventDefault() ... ✅ Navigation API: clean, centralized way to intercept navigation events 👌

Van de ven!

Released Today - UmBootstrap 17.0.0.-rc1 (big thanks to @AaronSadlerUK for help updating) www.nuget.org/packages/Umb...

HEY HEY, the Design Tokens Specification is stable! This is absolutely phenomenal news for the design system community and the technology industry in general. www.w3.org/community/de...
