Good discussion of some parts that are glossed over. Sweat the small stuff

Ben Everard recently gave a brilliant talk about this, involved a quadrant chart, min effort to max, min impact to max, plot your problems and you have a plan of action...

Demo recording about a girl at school (Sabrina) who had the Star Wars Ewok Village toy set. She used to play with her Barbie dolls in it instead of Ewoks. I used to sneak over on my BMX bike to go play.

Ambient Techno Top 50 tracks

Bas Dobbelaer @ Operator Radio

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).
