Really enjoying using Laravel as a framework these days. Having spent many

it opens up a world of new possibilities.

Getting started with Accelerated Mobile Pages - a very interesting concept and worth a tinker if you have a spare couple of hours.

This could set an interesting precedent for the responsibility website owners have towards their users in terms of warning them of the potential dangers they are exposed to using their website or service.

Really enjoyed using GSAP for our latest set of HTML5 banners. Super easy to get setup and make some impressive animations that work on a timeline. Much easier to update and maintain than trying to time individual effects using CSS3 transitions alone and allows for some really exciting possibilities.

Google catches up with EU policy.

It's finally happened. IPv4 is dead, long live IPv6!
