While in the process of doing some HTML emails recently I had some issues with Outlook. Stinky, sneaky Outlook. I learned a few little techniques though that are worth sharing. Only show this on Outlook First and foremost, only show the content between the conditionals on Outlook. <!--\[if gte mso 9\]></pre> <div class="only on outlook"></div> <!\[endif\]--> Don’t show this on Outlook (v1) Anything with the style mso-hide: all will be hidden on Outlook.

I recently found the WP-CLI library and have been investigating ways I can integrate it into my workflow. I should note here that we use shared hosting extensively. Ideally the preferred solution would be to use a true migration tool. This is not always possible with shared hosting. To use the tool the following commands would be issued: migrate_wordpress.sh dev production This command would pull the latest version of the wordpress database from the production server.

One of the minor annoyances that I run into from time to time is saving slices from a PSD. Once I have my slices defined and selected a folder Photoshop will save all my images in the folder I specified. However it will also create an images folder and place the images this folder. This means I that after saving the files they must be moved out of this folder.

Have you ever been in the situation where the discovery of a technology or technique has rendered previous workflow comically inept and wasteful. One such example would be the discovery of the “edit multiple frames” button in Adobe Flash Professional. I had spent so much time moving from frame to frame to edit a tween. Then to discover that I could choose the entire animation as one and edit. Joy and sorrow in the one same wave of realisation.

While doing my recent top 5 Amiga games, I got to thinking about the early PC games that I also enjoyed. I got into PC gaming in the late 90s and early noughties. Please note, these are merely the games that I particularly enjoyed: X-Wing: Alliance Included in this is the entire X-Wing series, but I started with Alliance. Needs a joystick, but the inclusion of the requirement to manage your ship’s energy (lasers/shields/engines) adds another dimension.
