@JohnBrownlow @spaceagefilms Ha! Just saw this. (I'm not on Twitter much these days and when I am I tend to only check my @ricklecoat account. Will probably decommission the @sharkattackdsgn one soon.) GREAT NAMES THOUGH! My favourite historical name is currently Thurlough Weed (Lincoln's political fixer).

ENDS 7.30pm TODAY! Last chance to bag yourself a super Christmas bargain tech treat — this near-mint condition Apple 30" monitor (2560x1600 px) with power supply PLUS a Dual-link DVI > Mini DisplayPort adaptor worth £99. Monitor ships in its original box. https://t.co/YWfRTsGUCa

Am (reluctantly) selling my wonderful 30" Apple monitor. Bag yourself an xmas tech treat at https://t.co/eMGIWPGbpf

[Rick Lecoat @ricklecoat]

I am (very reluctantly) selling my wonderful, near-mint, 30" Apple monitor (in its original box). If you fancy bagging yourself a pre-xmas tech treat, head over to https://t.co/eMGIWPGbpf and get bidding. BONUS: a Mini DisplayPort > Dual-link DVI adaptor is included!

Anyone tried working big Photoshop files (eg 4000x3000px, 15-25 layers deep) on 13” 2017 Macbook Pro (best spec processor)? Is MBP capable?

@_jamessmith hi James, & cheers! I’m working as lead designer for the IT dept comms team at UAL (University of the Arts London). How’re you?

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

It’s been the case for a while now, but just a formal heads-up for those who may not know (and yet, inexplicably,... https://t.co/1gCgrnvOdi

@bdkjones bourbon 5 changes. No time to amend/fix all my sass pre-deadline (can do that later) so need to. roll back to earlier Bourbon/CK.

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

Yeesh, @bourbonsass v5(b7) has removed a lot of stuff. No time to update all this code with workarounds right now, will have to downgrade.

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

@bdkjones Can I revert to Codekit2 just be reinstalling the app? Or does the v3 update alter support files etc, making reversion difficult?

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

@Snaptophobic yeah, I’m not *recommending* BT at all — just saying that’s what we happen to have (by default really)

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

@Snaptophobic that “hike it a little, but often, and they won’t notice” salami-slice tactic made it a) way too expensive and b) insulting.

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

@Snaptophobic we ditched our 9 months ago. We have BT for phone, Zen b-band, and tv is Freeview combined with Netflix + NowTV (via AppleTV).

@mamp_en MampPro won't let me select a folder in Dropbox (or many other user-level folders for that matter) as my document root. Why's that?

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

@mamp_en I need to migrate my MAMP Pro install to another machine. What files/folders must I copy to get my hosts, DBs etc on the new Mac?

@FocusLabLLC when moving a site from EE2 –> 3, when is the best time to upgrade FLMC? Before running the EE updater or after?

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

Someone just tweeted a 'building a Flash preloader' tutorial and I had to check the calendar. Seriously—are Flash preloaders still a thing?

[Shark Attack @sharkattackdsgn]

Don’t use the same password (or the same 3 or 4 passwords) for all your site logins. Just don’t, okay?

DON’T.

I think that many more workplaces would benefit from having a list like this on the wall. https://t.co/o8JFzxcAFc

@bourbonsass …I’d also turned off the $prefix-for-spec variable. Turned that one TRUE, left the others FALSE, and it’s all good.
