We’re looking for advertisers on Piccalilli - Andy Bell
0 3
We quite recently set up advertising on Piccalilli, but explicitly not in the tracking users and polluting the reading experience sense. I was (and am still not) comfortable with rolling ads because they have such a bad reputation — rightly. The problem is, running Piccalilli is not free, so the...

I think I need to change my attitude towards webrings - Andy Bell
0 0
I’ve always been a bit meh about webrings but I’ve noticed they’ve evolved a bit, like this one. I clicked through to Ariel’s site because I knew she would have nailed the UI for that typically, footer-based nav. Imagine my surprise when I found this interesting alternative instead. It’s really...

Why pay $8 for a checkmark when you can get one for free? - Andy Bell
0 0
Elon Musk has removed check marks from everyone now on Twitter, so I thought I’d make a web component so you can add one wherever you want!

I’m absolutely blown away by the response to I’m getting fed up of making the rich, richer. It’s brought some real positive vibes my way, so thanks for that. So many people have said they’ll back this sort of movement too, which I really appreciate. We’ve got so...

I’m getting fed up of making the rich, richer - Andy Bell

After being rather miserable about the work we do vs the work we want to do, I have come up with a possible solution that helps everyone.

Cool bridging thing - Andy Bell
0 0
There’s a cool service that bridges bluesky and mastodon accounts together called Bridgy Fed. It’s pretty cool because you can interact with accounts across platforms, from the platform you’re happy in. That’s bluesky for me, personally, but I know a lot of folks are happy on mastodon. That’s...

I think I’m not alone that Mastodon is giving me the ick - Andy Bell
0 0
I first joined Mastodon in 2018 (even though my old profile says 2016?), so I’d say I’ve seen a lot of its evolution. I’m on my second private instance now and would definitely consider myself invested in its success. Decentralised social media is so much more web than...

Am I missing your country with our Purchasing Power Parity system - Andy Bell
0 0
If you head over to Complete CSS and you’re in a country that we support for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), you should see a discount code. I think we’ve got the vast majority of them but I think we’re also missing some. If you normally get a PPP discount for courses and...

I was lucky enough to appear on the legendary Shoptalk Show podcast to talk client work, courses and Piccalilli. It’s been 5 years since I was last on it, so it was extra nice to speak with Chris and Dave again IRL. Check it out! They also put the episodes on Youtube now, so if […]

Alright, let me tell you how to make good Yorkshire puddings - Andy Bell
0 0
I’m from Yorkshire so this recipe is right, but so is yours if your Yorkshire puddings are good. There’s so many different ways and ratios. This one works really well for me. You want to be making this batter at least an hour before you need it. Allowing it to rest at room temperature means […]

5 years since the .NET Mag article - Andy Bell

Man, I remembering this being a big deal for me. I was lucky enough to be in the last (I think) .NET Mag (pour one out) 5 years ago. Timehop reminded me earlier. Screw it, here’s a transcribed version. Meet the educator and web designer who’s helping the community via an astonishing...

I like having a links page - Andy Bell
0 0
You can do what with your website and that’s what I (try) to do, that’s for sure. I stuck a music collection in here because why not? Yeh I’ve got a blog and an about page — y’know, the usual stuff — but the thing I really like is my links page. Everything is so […]

Severance s2 finale - Andy Bell

I’ve finally watched the finale of season 2 of Severance. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but I’ve got two sentences here that may or may not break your brain. Spoilers, don’t open if you haven’t watched At the end, it was Helena, not Helly. Gemma has no idea...

We redesigned the Set Studio website and refreshed The Index - Andy Bell

I am bad at posting on my website, admittedly so I thought I’d just acknowledge some work we’ve done that I’m really proud of. First up, we’ve completely rebranded and redesigned the Set Studio website. The much-loved industry-focused design worked really well for, well,...

There’s a split left, chasing the perfect government while a far right, fascist and enemy of the state is sneaking in the back door. It’s about time people actually did something to stop that from happening with tactical voting. We’ve only got one chance to obliterate the right in the...

Hi everyone I’ve properly messed my mastodon stuff up with the merging accounts thing, so I’m gonna hang out back on this instance too. If we’re mutuals I’m either following you or you’re following me now, just not in sync. Dunno which way around it is, but we are where we are lol
