I tried taking your advice and I looked like a lemon on stage.

I appreciate how much wank there is in wank. It's full of it.

I believe we didn't think big mega corp would get away with it

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 8d

one of the reasons for this is that it's not approved infrastructure for google projects.

Little @codepen.io demo: single `img` squircles + grainy inset shadow codepen.io/thebabydino/...

(for `img`, the actual image is content & gets painted on top of shadows; the earlier workaround has been a sibling/ parent's pseudo used as a "cover" that gets the shadow; none of it here 😼)

#CSS #SVG

A grid of squircle-shaped images with grainy inner shadows that also have a spread.

Was nice to play with Github's copilot to scaffold a web app in the creation of the repo. It's awesome to have a software that is what I want and not worry if anyone else really wants to use it

I've heard a few folks say travel is hard. If you have any details, would love to know the constraints. Budgets? Visas? Politics? etc

If we started Chrome Dev Summit again, would you be interested in it?

(huh - apparently can't do polls here...), Please reply, Yes or No, or any other answer in between.

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 9d

Yeah. That was a nice surprise :)

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 9d

No. Although that would be possible. This demo is just using what it has in its LLM for the entirety of the page

Lovely weather in Chester today.

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 13d

Best. Even in the rain this place is awesome. But today was just tip top.

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 13d

It's fun. If I get a bit of spare time I just think up URLs and browse the LLM.

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 13d

Stunning morning in North Wales.

It was a lot of fun, in the demo linked I can rewrite a web page as before it's rendered by the browser to give me just a summary of the contents.

This is a very quick post. I had an idea as I was walking the dog this evening, and I wanted to build a functioning demo and write about it within a couple of hours. While the post and idea started th...

So this was the thing. Do I hold out... It's a pricey monitor.

Paul Kinlan @paul.kinlan.me · 19d

That's great (on both fronts - the monitor and the partnership)
