All notes

First time using a case for my phone, I always use them “al natural” since my iPhone 4 but this thing is more expensive than what I used to drive 3 years ago 😅

It saddens me to hear about parents preventing their children from studying graphic design. It’s well known to be a career with very low wages. There are several culprits for that, and the main ones will continue to be the same designers if they only continue to serve as decorators.

Looking back at some answers I wrote in Quora got me thinking in maybe elaborate more and publish them as blog posts.

🦊 Oh my GOODNESS, responsive design turns ten today! Here’s how it happened, and who helped *make* it happen:‪https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/responsive-design-at-10/ …‬

I remember back them when I thought I knew that the only way was doing those complex fluid sorcery you were writing about in your great unstoppablerobotninja.com blog. Until that post 🤯

Congrats! Always an inspiration.

Iteration is everything. It should be more encouraged, to revisit past projects and improve them with new knowledge. Imagine doing that every couple of years, some of us have our site for that but for other types would be great too.

Man, templating RSS feed can be quite confusing. I did some folder structure changes at my sites a couple of weeks ago and didn’t realize that the change broke my feeds. Thankfully after some frustrations I fix them. Now I can sleep 😴

I avoid deleting the first versions of most designs, I keep duplicating artboards and iterate on the new ones. But I want to make it clear which are the old ones so I don’t confuse people or comment on past versions.

I can add them in a different page but that’s adding a click to the process. Now I’ve been placing them inside a colored background with a “past versions” label. Open to hear other ways.

Finished the last dance, is felt a little special that I got to see a little of that era. I remember watching MJ last final on TV. There’s always a great level of obsession in successful people. It has to, the only way to distance yourself from the pack.

I’m recently seeing a lot of talk about innovation. But the people that are actually innovating are not the ones that are constantly reading and talking about it, but the ones that are constantly making things.

Crazy how I was so use to having a small screen computer, from sharing my quick screen shot videos to slack that were around 14mb for some seconds. Just share one from the new 16" MBP and I was 100MB 🤯

Just changed all my indie post files organization and url structure.

How'd you do that? And if there isn't a link to the site on the POSSE, then how on earth does one find the original?

Bridgy does a posse-post-discovery, I have a <link rel=“feed” In my site’s head, pointing to all my notes that have a u-syndication link. More details here: https://brid.gy/about#link Happy to answer any more questions.

Now I got my replies updated without needing a link for the webmentions.
