GDPR seems to be a hot topic at the moment. Tweeted this gif earlier in the week, blogging ’cause why not.
Gutenberg on iPad
I’ve been testing the new Gutenberg editor for WordPress a little. I just sent the url to this short video in the feedback form.
I am finding using the editor a little tricky on iOS. It is a lot better in portrait mode. I can see that many folk will like Gutenberg and it has some interesting features.
I really hope that the experience on iOS can get better before we get this in Glow Blogs. Just from a selfish point of view, my class use iPads to post to their e-portfolios. Having said that I alway get them to write in the Notes app first. Pasting multi-lne text in to Gutenberg seems to be handled nicely, the double/treble returns my pupil like to type gets stripped out sensibly.
“It’s how you use it” is wholly unsatisfying, philosophically misguided, and a total corporate cop-out that places disproportionate responsibility on individual users

Listening to @manton on GeekSpeak Podcast , excellent as usual. It strikes me that micro.blog could be a model for a bunch community aggregators that you could push your RSS to. Or a tag/category of your feed…
Just finished Black Money by Ross MacDonald
Just finished Black Money by Ross MacDonald. Effective twisting Chandler-like crime from the 60s. I must have read it first as a teen in the 70s and enjoyed it again despite the odd grate against modern sensibilities. 📚 ★★★

Just had the bizarre experience of seeing a flight of parakeets flying through the snow in Victoria Park in Glasgow.
