Thank Friday Its Folk
I'm behind on this post mortem - what with a holiday to Scotland and me finishing university - but this is one that I really want to talk about purely because I did something I'd not done before.
On Comedy
I've been idly thinking about humour over the past couple of days. I've recently been looking at the old sketches from the Radio 4 golden years1 and trying to work out why it all fits together and why it's funny.
Making Whoops Better
Whoops is a really nice package that's included in the Laravel core. It just provides a wrapper around when your PHP app eventually crashes and shows you where you were an idiot.
Guitar Tunings
If you've seen me play, you should've noticed I exclusively play in Open Tunings. I've been using them for about two years now and I've just found that it provides exactly what I want out of the instrument with almost no drawbacks1.
The Crookes Folk Club
Last week I was honoured to be asked as the guest at the Crookes Folk Club - a club that's pretty much next door to me and I've criminally under attended.
Working With Behat
I'm always looking for ways to make my code better. One of the things I fully believe in is that everytime you make something you should be learning something while doing it. So, when I sat down to rewrite this site, I wanted to learn how to use Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) to make the site do what I wanted it to do.
