I clicked on a link while updating some details on PSN web site. A link. You know, a link, right? It gave me this alert. Um ... that's kinda the point of a link, my dudes.

The dialog says "You will go to another page" with a Cancel and Continue button

"Underline your links, you psychopath ". I may have imagined this, but I could SWEAR this was a comment from Adrian Roselli. Whatever, I agree. Anyway, it seems like the psychopaths have the upper hand - too many links out there without underlines to this day.

After a long time trying, I finally sold my motorbike today. However, let’s just say that I didn’t have high hopes of the buyer actually taking it away without incurring an injury or damaging the bike!

A ramshackle arrangement of pallets and a single ramp that really was not long enough to deal with the incline were used to get the bike in the back of the van

Friday bookmarklet drop! 👉 Check Landmark Usage a11y-tools.com/bookmarklets... I've been writing some test scripts for a project and as part of it have been indicating tools that can help. For landmarks, I didn't have a perfect fit ... so I created a tool that ticked all the boxes:

How very dare you, Starling Bank! Oh wait, they were just abbreviating ...

Firestarter. It will never be the same without Keith. But it is touching the when they do this, they do not include Keith‘s vocals, it’s just the beats, with Keith showing on the screen and all throughout Maxim Reality stands on stage completely still, honouring their bandmate

This is pretty darn cool - the 'Ting' (creative microphone thing that came with my EP40 'Riddim' groove box, js totally hackable - you can change the effects in all sorts of ways by updating a json file! teenage.engineering/guides/ep-2350

Customising Ting: the heart of your device is a json file named config.json. by editing this file, you can completely redesign how the unit sounds, how the effects behave, and how you interact with the audio using the handle, motion, and automation.

The packaging for the groove box has, for a limited time, a free microphone that does special effects. It’s called a ‘Ting’. It’s attached to the main device with sticker tape that reads ‘FREE TING’

Not just an ashtray from a pub ... I also had a working fruit machine! OK, I didn't really get that from the pub (can't squirrel one of those away!). Does this reek of 'first home owning experience as a single man in his 20s'? Also - I still own the BMX 🆒
