Nine years ago we went to pick up this diva. I also bought a rug meanwhile.

Oh wow! Tonight’s @feelingof.london was excellent. It had it all: pixel and textile arts, the art of showing drafts of your writing and colours of an image for memories (which reminded me of a post of mine from 2018) and more. So glad I braced the hot weather 💖

I had a big smile scrolling through the photos of #CSSDay. Also, I felt a little bit overwhelmed on what note to share so I decided to just go to my blog and do it there 😁 ohhelloana.blog/css-day-mc/

Second time watching this amazing talk from Kardo Ayoub and I had forgotten about this gem. Companies still treat accessibility as a generic tick box especially on their content. #PixelPioneers

I was telling people to go to #SotB2027 and that I would be there too as I do have a ticket! But my brain immediately corrected me and I went off-script adding "wait no, I'm going to see The Rasmus", on the #CSSDay stage of all places. So yeah, I've reset the counter. 😁

My counter called Days Since Talking About The Rasmus that lives on my /now page now says 1 day.

Shout-out to @joshtumath.uk for not only delivering a great talk but also live posting all the other sessions. I only “worked” one day! What a machine 💪🏻 #CSSDay

We didn’t talk enough about how @sjoy.lol just casually, and magnificently, gave two talks in 24 hours. #CSSDay With a quick shout-out to @localghost.dev ✨

And that’s how the t-shirt ended up. Thanks for entertaining it everyone 😁💙 📸 @joshtumath.uk

Little miss lost her “buffet picking by herself” privilege on day 1 of this holiday. Lesson learned for me too.

Two images together. One with one bowl with just baked beans. The second with just one bowl full of colourful cake sprinkles.

ohhelloana.blog/now/ had to reset this bad boy

Screenshot of a commit message on my blog. The commit message says: "Reset the counter because 2027 uk tour"

Screenshot of my counter on my /now page that says "days since talking about the rasmus" and the counter says 0 days and 0 hours.

It’s really that simple. Lovely talk from Mimi at Feeling of Computing last night.

Slide with the text: making things for you is important. Followed by a hand drawn smile.

Slide with the text: small acts of kindness can make a huge difference.

I was able to join tonight's Homebrew Website Club and my eldest made sure to say hi too. But I also showed one of my very offline projects: my own #IndieWeb cross-stitch banner 🪡😁 PS.: there's an IndieWebCamp this weekend ahead of @beyondtellerrand.com events.indieweb.org/2026/04/-ind...

Took a whole week off. It was great! Spent the last two hours of my holiday framing and doing collages of the drawings my daughter did this year so far.

Collection of children’s artwork. On the left, white frame showcases a simple red marker drawing of three figures representing our family. In the center, two cut-out purple characters with crown-like hair are pasted onto a dark blue painted square. To the right, a large canvas is covered with collage of colorful paper cut-outs of drawn characters with smiling faces.

Ana Rodrigues@ohhelloana· Apr 10

Watched An American Werewolf in London (1981).

Still from the film where the two main characters are at a till in a shop and the one with a job says “it’s outrageous. My pay can’t possibly keep up with inflation.”

Whoever did this kitchen for the previous owners of my house measured once and cut… a bit. 👍 Great stuff, cheers, exactly what I love. There’s a web dev analogy in here somewhere I bet.

Close-up of the side of a wall kitchen cupboard that should be flushed to the wall. The wall is a covered corner where the bathroom pipes come through from upstairs. Since the cupboard didn’t fit, they cut a bit of the plasterboard of the wall and sat the cupboard inside the new gap by the pipe.

I too have started to bring my CDs into my laptop and phone and omg. A decade of not listening in HD. I've missed out... I'm flying back to Portugal soon and I am planning to bring the rest of my collection back.

If you ever wonder “who would eat this combo? Why do they even sell it?”. It’s me. I am the market for bad taste. I love it.

Screenshot of a message I received saying “Possibly the worst meal deal I’ve ever seen”.

Day 3 included: A crafts charity shop, walk by the seaside, more horses and a chocolate martini. 🤎 Not pictured: steam, sauna and the indoor pool. Still successfully avoiding ✨ bad news ✨ but don’t worry: it will all hit me at once sometime Saturday or something.

Image split into four squares. First square shows a shop with sewing machines and threads, second square has an harbour with boats. Third square has two horses grazing between trees and last square is a selfie of me drinking a chocolate martini.

I had such a wonderful day yesterday. We spent around 6 hours cycling through New Forest. I caught myself smiling when cycling down hills. Pretty sore today but i slept close to 10 hours 😁 Life can be pretty neat without the screens of doom 💚

And yes, I was so nervous that I had to take a little list of things I wanted to say 😁 Turns out I am way less nervous when I do talks at conferences 😁

Me posing pointing to a little notebook I have in my hands that has an itemised list in front of the band members.

Ana Rodrigues@ohhelloana· Dec 5

Hey so remember how I gave a talk inspired by The Rasmus where I experimented creating a gamified karaoke in the browser? Anyway, I got the band to sign the landyard of one of the many places I spoke at. 🧡 @heypresents.com Be a fan and a dork about things you love and care about.
