Reading List

- Chrome improves Add To Home Screen. Sorta by Sil.
- The problems with the device-adaptation spec by PPK.
- Enabling Pointer Events in Firefox (desktop) Nightly – huzzah!
- Opera for Android has automatic text-wrap by default, so no more horizontal scrolling if you zoom in. And a better Turbo mode for speeding up sites and saving data.
- Smartphone shipments to the Middle East and Africa saw unprecedented year-on-year growth of 83% in 2014 “Spurred by the increased availability of cheaper models and dual-SIM devices”.
- JSON-LD’s Big Day at Google.
- Dealing with SMS Spam from @PaddyPower by Terence Eden.
- Facepalm of the week: £1,215 raised to send “emergency homeopathic support” to Nepal.
Buy "Calling For The Moon", my debut album of songs I wrote while living in Thailand, India, Turkey. (Only £2, on Bandcamp.)
