@BasicAppleGuy This is a message I sent a fellow UI designer and teacher (which is what I used to be, i.e. a practicing designer focused on UI and experience design) helping found startups. The rounded corners. Eurgh. Sacrificing battery for experience. Not a great trade-off.

@nsandihelp Heads up. Thereโ€™s an issue on your website. Using your search form returns inline CSS and element names (`body`โ€ฆ) on the page. Screenshot attached, to help. (I wrote a number of books about HTML, CSSโ€ฆ, so know how easy it is for errors to creep in.) Good luck!

โฆ@robinrimbaudโฉ These books made the cut and Iโ€™m now diving back into them as I tidy. A nice by-product of tidying the books and rationalising the library structure is the fact that you can get lost in them for hours (days, weeks, monthsโ€ฆ).

Yes! (To the duvet.) [Paying Attention to Emotional Intelligence](youtu.be/WChoDy4V8NQ). The payoff: โ€ข Your ideas are heard and valued. โ€ข Others approach you for guidance and advice. โ€ข You're entrusted with higher-level responsibilities and better opportunities.

This is the beach at the end of our lane. Itโ€™s five minutes from our front door, but itโ€™s rarely โ€“ if ever โ€“ used. The house would fit three couples. I was thinking I could run workshops and provide locally sourced food. Itโ€™s a dream, but who knowsโ€ฆ? 2/2

This is great to read, Anne-Laure! Iโ€™m 1,623 days into my journey of โ€˜A Year, Probably More, Off Alcoholโ€™ and Iโ€™ve never felt better. I found that by calling it a โ€˜a year, probably moreโ€™ I took the pressure off myself as far commitments go. 1/2
