    57: Underrated Skills | Knowing when to Blackout

    This week we talked about underrated skills, skills that are really useful but not often mentioned or which may be slightly outside the sphere of normal web development stuff. It was partially inspired by my so-so typing, I'm convinced that learning to touch type would be massively useful. So when we asked listeners to send us examples of underrated skills I was expecting to see practical skills like touch typing and that sort of thing sent in. But oh no, we were sent much more thought-provoking suggestions. Out Toolstar this time was Prepros (https://prepros.io), a GUI preprocessor for Windows, Mac and Linux. Sometimes GUI's are themselves often underrated, so a GUI vs CLI discussion ensued. My Jukebox this week was I'm Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem. I even managed to discover a web development reference in this track, sort of. Ben's was The Sun Rising by The Beloved, though he did have some opinions on their lead singer. We also realised that we'd forgotten to put a previous Jukebox pick on the playlist, so All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem is a bonus track this week. All three are added to the Relative Paths Alt Playlist (http://relativepaths.uk/altpl). - Mark For the extended version, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/relativepaths Subscribe and keep in touch: iTunes - https://relativepaths.uk/it Stitcher - https://relativepaths.uk/st SoundCloud - https://relativepaths.uk/sc Twitter - https://twitter.com/relativepaths Facebook - https://facebook.com/relativepaths Special mention to Loopback by Rogue Amoeba (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback).

    56: Gimme the cash | Tinkling the ivories

    It's been 9 months since our last episode (1000 apologies) so we had much important chat to catch up with. We discussed training clients not to call out of hours, Edge browser news, Hey Duggee, Perch and a whole host of other things. We also have a favour to ask! We want to release episodes regularly, but that's tricky for us as we have to carve time out of our work schedules. We'd like to dedicate a day or two each month to record and edit episodes. We'd also like to make time to research episode topics and guests. We can do this with your support. So, if you to support us please donate via our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/relativepaths). Our jukebox this week had a bit of a folky feel. Ben chose the Lulu Rouge remix of Riverside by Agnes Obel. I went full folk and chose Easy to Be Around by Diane Cluck. They're both added to the Relative Paths Alt Playlist (http://relativepaths.uk/altpl). - Mark Show links: MS EDGE Browser news - Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/6/18527550/microsoft-chromium-edge-google-history-collaboration) Hey Duggee Space Badge (https://youtu.be/oXkSfqmzG1o) The Wurzels - Remix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHsBmys05Q) Subscribe and keep in touch: iTunes - https://relativepaths.uk/it Stitcher - https://relativepaths.uk/st SoundCloud - https://relativepaths.uk/sc Twitter - https://twitter.com/relativepaths Facebook - https://facebook.com/relativepaths Special mention to Loopback by Rogue Amoeba (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback).
