My name is Ian Parr, I am a web developer & UX designer. I have adopted a cat (prev. pony, owl). Co-org #FrontEndSheff / #frontendnorth Also on mastodon.social/@devolute (yay) & twitter.com/devolute (lol)
Oh, I think I know this phrase when used in the world of politics: it means "I don't have empathy for other people's experiences". Sian put this in much gentler terms for developer comms tips at #FrontEndSheff
Never forgot what #SYPN took away from us. They were this close to implementing iconic branding but decided to drop the ball by resorting to huge - barely readable - letters. Bit of a mess. I wonder which sadist pushed for the change? #Sheffield
🙋 Current party hate you because of <reasons>. 🏃 Previous party hate you because you're a traitor. 🐴 General public hate you because they spent the winter nervously tweaking the thermostat whilst your horses are kept warm. Still, Zahawi doesn't want to dress like he's too desperate on #BBCLauraK
"Gotta get this powerpoint done before CoP! Just got time to look up at my Waffen SS poster and stroke my stormtrooper torso for inspiration."
Lord Case has 2x identical copies of 'How AI Thinks' on his bookshelf, which I suppose is a very clever commentary on the waste inherent in these platforms #BBCLauraK
A treat for the aeronautically disposed in #Sheffield at 3-3:30pm today: The Roundabout charity soapbox derby will be overflow by the #BBMF DC3 Dakota ZA947. Last time I saw her over Sheffield, she had D-day stripes, but apparently is now wearing SEAC colors. Perfect for the current weather.
I love @freecycle.bsky.social - a great way to cut down on waste. I've used it both giving & receiving (oooh errr). But let me tell you, there are some absolute unmissable offers round our way at the mo for the discerning womble…
I don't want to get political, but I've found the 'memoji'-esque illustrations on Andy Burnham's Makerfield posters only slightly less upsetting than his historical support for the Iraq war.
"Moving Britain, by Design" is a thoughtful - if not a little futile - GBR visual ID proposal. The attitude - i.e. being lead by impactful, timeless and effective design, rather than "🇬🇧… what more do you people want?" - is absolutely spot on. #uktrain #UnsolicitedDesign mbbd.lkbergen.com/highlights
I work very hard to completely avoid any aspect of football culture, so it is particularly galing that Google force it onto the home screen of my personal device and I am unable to opt out.
If The Onion are going to post articles under another domain, is there going to be… I dunno… an SEO penalty or something?: www.piratewires.com/p/gwyneth-pa...
Putting Jeremy Hunt and Chris Philip MP on at the same time is a genius move: I reckon about 37% of the country has been operating under the delusion that they're the same fella #BBCLauraK
This MS Paint mirror is amazing & I absolutely want to make my own. /via Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/c...
Sad news for UK brewers overall, but a nice little positive call out for #Sheffield and our cluster of fab breweries: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #UKBeer
1) I think a lot of us have just assumed this for years, but nice to see some of the numbers. 2) "I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards." Played.
Still utilising sneaky #darkpatterns in #MacOS in an attempt to trick you into upgrading to the shinny-glass-hell of Tahoe. Maybe you'll catch me next time, lads. #itJustWerks
- "unworkable advise" > "unworkable advice" Less sensibly, consider attaching this.
Graham Norton: "Is that the nicest bit of Estonia?" Tell you what mate, you try pulling a country together after 50+ years of Soviet rule. Twat. #ESC #Eurovision
