Posted to Launched my new dev/design portfolio, in reply to Art Vandelay , Aug 24, 2017 Thanks for keeping me grounded.
Posted to Launched my new dev/design portfolio, in reply to Alex Carpenter , Aug 23, 2017 Hmmm, this was one area I wasn't happy with either. Although, I'm not 100% sold it looks right left aligned either. Thanks for the feedback regardless!
Posted to Launched my new dev/design portfolio, in reply to Alberto G. de la Cruz , Aug 23, 2017 this is a sensitive topic as my last name is CONSTANTLY misspelt/misheard. sadness.

Posted to Making Jekyll Workflow a Bit Better, Aug 17, 2017 Hey all,
As part of re-designing my new personal site, I found a few ways to make Jekyll-based development/workflow a little slicker. Hope it's helpful for some people!

I get up when I want except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen.
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house.
I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too.
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being.
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it.
