For the record the previous version of this site is running at http://building-a-blog.pete.mixture.io/ Luckily Neil uploaded a nice boilerplate for simple blogs which I was able to download and copy my posts into. Once that was done... http://petenelson.co.uk/building-a-blog-part-one /building-a-blog-part-one Thu, 06 Jun 2013 19:00:00 GMT One feature of Mixture that I've been looking forward to for a long time was Collections that landed this week in a general release alpha. It has some super-powerful features that, we think, takes static blogs to the next level. But I knew that once we got it built I... http://petenelson.co.uk/from-that-to-this /from-that-to-this Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT At the end of January we had a well-tested alpha version of Mixture - it was ready to go to a public beta. But there was a problem: Mixture had grown so much in functionality and had so much more scope for growth since we originally designed it that we... http://petenelson.co.uk/this-site-is-running-on-mixture /this-site-is-running-on-mixture Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT I've been looking for a test project for a while to use with Mixture and I've also been looking to move this blog from Wordpress for a while as we are no longer running a dedicated Linux server so I thought I would have a quick go at porting this... http://petenelson.co.uk/rediscovering-newspaper-content /rediscovering-newspaper-content Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT Saw a lot of people talking about this New York Times site today on Twitter which allows you to collate old articles in a Pintrest-esque style: http://nytimes.com/compendium.  Whilst I don’t love the execution of this particular site I really love the idea of socially discovering existing articles of your favourite newspaper.... http://petenelson.co.uk/the-industry-review-mixture /the-industry-review-mixture Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT This was one of the best articles that we have had about Mixture so far – not only was it comprehensive and complimentary but I really felt that Matt Reich truly understood the app and what it was for.  It can be a difficult app to sum up sometimes so it... http://petenelson.co.uk/the-web-is-hurting-my-eyes /the-web-is-hurting-my-eyes Thu, 01 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT As a coder I now can’t do without black backgrounds on all my dev environments – white just fries my eyes and gives me headaches. My question is: how do I make the web less white?  I’m on it so much of the day for work and much as white... http://petenelson.co.uk/mixture-signup-site-is-live /mixture-signup-site-is-live Thu, 04 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMT After a lot of work on Neil and Mike’s part the Mixture signup site is now live! Mixture is a front-end web development tool with one-click push of a site to a live preview url.  It’s got a lot of great features which are outlined on the signup site animation... http://petenelson.co.uk/will-an-lcd-wall-improve-remote-working /will-an-lcd-wall-improve-remote-working Mon, 23 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT I’ve remote worked on and off since around 2005 and to be honest not much has changed or improved in that time period.  I’m a web developer and the main tool of the trade is Skype – the main improvement of this has been screen-sharing which is an invaluable tool... http://petenelson.co.uk/the-landscape-of-code /the-landscape-of-code Mon, 23 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT I find it interesting that as a project gets created and built upon your mind starts to map it like a city. As you work with it more and more you learn all of its intricate little streets and shortcuts, you learn to get to exactly where you want to...
