Family guy and web developer

I’ve been trying to build a series of themes using the Tailwind CSS framework. Creating the different components of each theme is simple to do, but bring these components together has been more challenging. My design eye for these things isn’t great.

Goodbye mattisms.dev

After a few weeks of not posting to my dev blog, I’ve decided that over the weekend I will delete this blog.

I don’t see the long term value in having this resource on a seperate domain or in collating the links for this blog. Instead of posting to a blog, I’m going to start collecting web development and Rails guides and resources on a number of pages on my personal website.

Don’t worry folks, I’ll keep posting here and any major changes in this web development content will be shared here as well.

In an effort to break the boredom, I opened a few Lego sets that we had initially put aside.

Drew’s been desperate to build the Tantive IV set, so we’re starting with this one and just doing a couple of bags a day. When it’s done, it’s definitely going to be quite big.

Great day for a walk, although the trees are still a little bare for my liking.

New DualSense controllers revealed for PlayStation 5

Sony has revealed their new DualSense controllers for the PlayStation 5. A familiar look for the controller with the button layout, but what stuck out for me was the two-toned design.

Now, let’s talk about the colors. Traditionally our base controllers have a single color. As you can see, we went a different direction this time around, and decided on a two-toned design. Additionally, we changed the position of the light bar that will give it an extra pop. On DualShock 4, it sat on the top of the controller; now it sits at each side of the touch pad, giving it a slightly larger look and feel.

Introducing DualSense, the New Wireless Game Controller for PlayStation 5

I look forward to getting my hands on these when the PlayStation 5 is released.

Me and Jen watched Knives Out last night on Apple TV. We fancied it when we first seen the trailers for the cinema release, but we decided to just wait for it to appear on the small screen. We thoroughly enjoyed it and Daniel Craig’s southern accent wasn’t too shabby either! 🎬

The Twitter timeline is just completely unusable. Tweets are injected into your timeline by different signals and it makes it too confusing to follow. Trying to rectify this by using Nighthawk for iOS to keep my timeline simple and using Feedbin to follow lists.
