• Name Mangler : a hidden favourite Mac app
  Posted in daily on 27 Aug 2020

  Name Mangler by Many Tricks is a life saver when you have batches of files to organise and rename, and it’s super fast (and revertible).

  Posted in thoughts on 17 Aug 2020

  Last year, Vivienne approached me with the project of adapting a collection of Protein Spotlight articles into comic strips, both in English and French versions.

• All skies and water

  Back from a few days off sailing and sleeping on our boat around Nyon, Allamand, Thonon-les-Bains and back.

• Sharing CSS code between a selector and a media query
  Posted in daily on 17 Jul 2020

  While trying to optimise my SCSS code, I realised that it wasn’t possible to use @extend in a media query.

• Post confinement
  Posted in thoughts on 10 Jul 2020

  I’ve been commuting back and forth to my office for over a month now, occasionally eating in restaurants and generally going on with my life as before. Or am I?
