@simplebits getcookies.org – because building websites seems to be all the rage these days, right?
-
@simplebits Pushing cookies, but not the trackable kind. Need to order pencils next.
-
@photomatt I’ll admit I have not yet crossed over to Gutenberg. //ducks
-
@photomatt Thanks, Matt! Of course you’d view source! Almost everything I build these days is still WP. I know it so well by now. This was probably the simplest theme I’ve ever created. 😉
-
@UXDJB @motherfuton I thought so too. And I offered to make a guest appearance on his zoom class one day just to surprise everyone. Though his class would probably wonder the relevance of an old man offering them any kind of advice.
-
@motherfuton My (younger, 3rd grade) daughter’s former classmate is taking a web design class at school, and something came up that mentioned my name with my picture. He started jumping up and down and yelling that he knew me. No one in his class believed him. 😡

@cameronmoll @danmall We tried postcards this year to promote our daughter’s Girl Scout Cookie sales. Online only this year. So far, the postcard is way outperforming email and Twitter. Plus, we kind of liked creating and sending out something physical.
-
@smarty You brush more than one at a time? 😬
-
@Hicksdesign @ResolveTSL Nice work, Jon, as always. Thanks for contributing to the bigger cause too!
-
@RyanChris @sippey Thank you both. Tricky times this year. 🙏
-
@mathowie Re the logo… note the absence of any rounded corners on the square. We were savages back then.
-
@mathowie Always with style.
-
@mathowie Dad jeans left loose to flail around the chain ankle. Brave, Haughey, brave. 😉
-
@PaulAnnett Yep, same thing. Most of the time, you don’t notice what those blockers block. But every now and then, you really notice how aggressive they are.
-
@PaulAnnett Ha! Thanks, Paul. What’s funny is that we had to intentionally change a couple class names, because the blocker I use was hiding elements because it thought they were cookie-related!
-
@dbedingfield Awesome. Thanks so much, Dave!
-
Girl Scout Cookie season is different this year. No in-person sales for us. All online. Emma and I grabbed a domain and built a website to explain. She has big goals this year, despite the pandemic. So please donate or order as many as you can from her! 🙏 getcookies.org

@enduranceron @tommy_rivs @jacobpuzey Thanks, that makes sense. I was hoping you had discovered a hidden way to do it from the machine, given that (at least the newer ones) seem to run on top of Android.
-
@enduranceron @tommy_rivs @jacobpuzey Agree, these places Tommy takes us are incredible. (I just completed part 1 of the 10k series.) I now want to visit many of them. I’ve been taking photos of the screen with my phone for most of them. Are you grabbing screenshots from a NordicTrack machine? Care to share how?
-
This will be a pretty big deal for design. The setup of this piece is long. But the payoff comes in gif form about halfway down, and the usefulness of this new CSS comes to full light. Who among us have not cursed vertical spacing because of any font’s text box? twitter.com/jmspool/status…

@stop @mor10 @CharlieTranen (I learned the hard way from our gate over swinging like yours, which damaged the hinges and the wood of the gate.)
-
@mor10 @CharlieTranen That may suffice. But if the gate is slammed shut again with enough force, bolts may not hold it. As suggested, you need a stop that prevents the gate from over swinging. A simple strip of wood can work. Or smaller pre-made stops like these. hooverfence.com/gate-hardware/…

@markjardine So sorry, Mark. I know the pain you and your wife are feeling. Especially if Naru was the first companion you both added to your household as a family. What helped me was time, and dreams of our dog, Jackson, running and playing and fetching endless balls. 💔
-
So long, Alex. 😢 twitter.com/Jeopardy/statu…

@richhemsley @philcoffman I’m not up for the distance of a full or half yet. Working through lower-back pain and strengthening my core to prevent injury. So I’m still working upwards on single runs. Working toward 8-10 mile runs next.
-
@philcoffman I’m a little behind you at 470 miles for 2020. I didn’t start until April, about a month into lockdown. But agree – so therapeutic. I’ve never really been a runner, so this is all new to me. Same goal of increasing my numbers by quite a bit this year.
-
@leesteffen Finally, something that didn’t end up as a bland, single line of letter-spaced sans serif.
-
@mkruz @davidbellona @DSGNRSteve @Stammy @jencotton @cyanhex Congrats, Stammy! Also, no screen was ever big enough to capture the height of Mike’s hair.
-
@stop @JackEllis @usefathom @pjrvs Sidenote… You may know, but 1Blocker sadly already added usefathom dot com to its list of trackers. But at least custom domains work around that.
-
@stop @JackEllis @anildash @tinysubversions @usefathom @pjrvs Oh, of course, it was @mdo’s thread a couple weeks ago. Anil- might be useful for you to poke through, as complement to your own replies. twitter.com/mdo/status/133…
-
@JackEllis @anildash @tinysubversions @usefathom @pjrvs Looking forward to v3 then. Just signed up a couple days ago after seeing a tweet from someone else I respect (forget who atm). Appreciate your approach and philosophy so far.
-
@anildash @tinysubversions In the process of trying and switching over to @usefathom. Tiny bit more than Simple Analytics, from what I can see on the surface.
-
@aworkinglibrary @COVID19Tracking @kissane Yay to smart people in good positions with high impact.
-
@RauCreativity @1BlockerApp Yep, I’ve found that too. It’s fairly aggressive at blocking in its default state. Fortunately, it can be fine-tuned on the go, or turned off completely for certain domains.
-
Just discovered the blocker I use for Safari, @1BlockerApp, can hide any element by CSS selector, either globally or per domain. Syncs with iOS too. So many everyday UIs can be cleaned up by hiding elements you don’t want/need on screen. Great power⇔great responsibility.

@owenbrainard They don’t know the discomfort of prying away a corded analog receiver away from the ear after an hour long conversation with a friend that lived 2 miles away. Saying goodbye took transition time (and coordination for the next call).

@stop @nonformality When we finally make our way out of the bahnhof and realize we better find a place to stay in Hanover, we learn then that Guns N Roses was playing in Hanover THAT NIGHT, and that all hotels and hostels are overbooked. We finally found a hotel with one room left!
-
@stop @nonformality When we finally understand that we have to transfer to a local train to get into Hanover, then make it to the bahnhof there, it looks like World War 3. Thousands of people everywhere, chaos. We have no idea what is happening, or why we were diverted…
-
@nonformality Yes, that adventure was stressful at the time, but we laugh about it now. Imagine rolling along, then the train stopping somewhere outside of Hanover, and all the announcements are in German, as everyone (but us) gets off the train because we have no idea what’s happening.
-
@stop @nonformality We shall return to Deutschland (hopefully next Christmas) so we still have more pins to add there, possibly one for Berlin. Ich lerne Deutsch so I can communicate better for that. My next online course is taught from Berlin at the DeutschAkademie starting 4 Jan. 3/
-
@stop @nonformality With no way to continue East, we had to adjust our plans, and ended up heading south on the only running trains, and made an unplanned visit to Nürnberg, then continued on to München. (Which forced us to cut out both Berlin and Prague for that holiday.)… 2/
-
@nonformality Ah, and there was supposed to be a pin. On our holiday three summers ago, we were traveling by train from Amsterdam to Berlin, and then on to Prague. But a freak tornado or some kind of storm in northern Germany disrupted all trains, and stranded us in Hanover… 1/
