My music playlists are so jarring sometimes, listening to some heavy screamo song followed by a soundtrack from a musical. Both absolute bangers.

Been having a load of fun with the new Diablo 4 expansion over the last few days. Action RPGs tickle my brain.

This time next week I'll be on my way to Leeds for @heypresents.com - hell to the yeah.

I've got availability for new projects kicking off in May, due to a project falling through. Preferably front-end work, I'm a big fan of @astro.build and @craftcms.com at the moment, but happy to work with other tools. Some examples of past work on my website jackwhiting.co.uk.

🎉 Registration is now open for my latest course, Whimsical Animations! This course will teach you everything you need to know to design and build stunning, creative animations and interactions. It’s time to make the web less generic and boring! 😄

Mad that vanilla CSS has come so far, what I used to write overly complex mixins for in Sass, is now just native and works in all browsers with one line. (side throwback to writing tables for layouts..)

2 WEEKS TO GO! 🎙️ 8 industry-focused talks 🔖 Curated single-track programme 📍 Everyman Cinema, Leeds, UK ☕ Top notch indie tea & coffee 💻 Free co-working for all attendees 🧃 Post-event networking with social

Seems a bit mad it's taken me 2.5 years to get blinds in my office, but I may be able to finally work now without being blinded by the sun in the aft.

I'm a newer convert to @astro.build (last 6 months) but it's so lush. Launched a few production sites using it, alongside the Cloudflare adapter, and it scaffolds out lightweight front-ends with ease. Should have done this earlier...

Opened an AI generated React project I've been tasked with updating.. Gosh this is awful.

Realized today I follow Yorkshire Tea, and then was completely offended by the new Tea offerings.

✨ I just published a new blog post about a nifty lil’ animation technique: sprites! Sprites are used all the time in video games, but they’re less common on the web. We do have the tools to manage it in CSS, but there’s a gotcha. In this post, I share some of the cool use cases I’ve found:

I hate that every community is now wrapped in Discord, so much lost information buried. Bring back forums.

Absolute banger this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcrN...

Took a peppermint tablet (I'm getting old) for my stomach, now whenever I drink all I taste is peppermint. Ruined my tea.

Started spinning up the new site for my (solo) agency, using @craftcms.com headless and @astro.build, and it is bliss. Tiny react islands where I want some more complex rest just straight up Astro goodness.

I'm fuelled by Coffee and Pokémon cards these days.

In Brum tonight to see Honey Revenge and Rain City Drive. Sneaky trip to the Lego shop on the way. Long week, needed break!

Seeing people rebuilding their site - it's on my list but as with everything else I'm my worst judge and need to find the time!

Astro 5.17 is now available! Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.

Craft 5.9 is here, bringing new ways to organize your content, and a slew of improvements to authoring, accessibility, development, performance, and security. #CraftCMS craftcms.com/blog/craft-5...

Really nice piece on iconography and user interfaces. App designers should take a note on this, the "everything needs an icon" is unbearable both for usability and development honestly.

Sending all my love to any Americans out there who don't stand for this shit. Fuck ICE. My heart breaks more each day.

My gosh, I need this Lego set. www.lego.com/en-gb/produc...

Merry Christmas you beauties.

It's that time of year again! Let's have a look at the deals we, and our much loved community are offering this year. It's the most important time of year for independents, so let's give them our support 💛 piccalil.li/links/black-...

Tickets bought. Let's go!

Spending my weekend playing Pokémon cards, playing Pokémon Z-A, and building warhammer. Mate I’m so cool. Younger me would be so jealous.

I bought this so you should too. Added to the backlog!

It's here. JavaScript for Everyone is now available to…everyone! The amount of effort and experience packed into this course is unbelievable and we know you're going to love it. Get yours for £189, down from £249, for 2 weeks and super-charge your career prospects piccalilli.link/js4e-launch-...

Anyone got any good alternatives to Notion? I use it mostly for sharing client information and the odd kanban, but I keep finding it really messy to organise/find information.

Fuck, my site isn't compiling? What the hell did I do? How have I broken something? Shit! Shit!... 1 hour later… Oh, there's a random "F" in the config.

Spent the whole weekend working on a project for an agency that the developer just walked out on right before the deadline. Bloody tired, but this was not a good way to leave the site.

Moving off Next.js to Astro for new work, but man those legacy sites are just staring at me, feel like my old work is judging me.

This new macOS update is pure dog shit init.

Accidentally set my site to noindex for a month, ouch.

Think I'm finally covering from a week-long wedding. How do I code again?

Look mum, I designed* an unhinged conference website: webdevconf.com Also, buy tickets to the conference please. * and by designed, I mean I threw up on a Figma file and @alexolder.com interpreted that into this beautiful monstrosity

A bit late in life, but, I passed me bloody driving test.

Oh my gosh, Sublime Text now lets me put the sidebar on the right. Switching back.

Spent the evening last night finishing off the Lego Brad-dur. This thing is bloody huge.

Spent a weekend celebrating my birthday to now be hit by a cold. Boo.

Improving the blog with a new code segment which can switch language and copy to clipboard.

Bring back the `<marquee>` element.

Disappointing how bad this is.

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend, I ended up playing Board Games, Magic The Gathering, and overloading on food. Needless to say, slow start today!

Wrote a little bit of a write up on how to access the new CKEditor options for Longform Content in @craftcms.com. Any questions let me know! #craftcms #headless #graphql https://jackwhiting.co.uk/posts/parsing-ckeditor-longform-content-in-craft-cms-with-graphql
