  • Learning About Laravel and PHP

    Learning About Laravel and PHP

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteToday I started to follow a course where someone turns a static html page into a Laravel blog.

    On Whether I Prefer Vanilla JavaScript or Frameworks?

    Reading Time: 2 minutesToday someone on twitter asked this question, and rather than be reply: 320 of 10,000, I chose to write a blog post about it.

  • An SVG clock

    An SVG clock

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteSometimes we experiment and play with technology. The clock below is an SVG clock using SVG and Canvas technology to display local time.

    With A view of the Mont Blanc

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m afraid to open the veluxes because of the threat of finding yet another large spider.
