Ana Rodrigues

One year and one day after receiving my settled status I officially became naturalised and am now a British citizen.

A while back I worked on a project with an existing seven year old codebase and it was my task to refresh the design of it without a rebuild.

I'm not gonna lie - I'm quite disappointed in myself that I still haven't got my poop together and gone back to doing this monthly.

Last weekend my husband and I started to watch Ted Lasso and as soon as the character Ted sets up their new home in Richmond, it reminded me of one of my worst job interviews because I’m pretty sure I cried in front of Ted’s local.

In the television show Masterchef there was an episode where the judges did a test on what they call “basic skills”.

This post has a content note of miscarriage.

The one year anniversary of the "never-ending" March has just passed.

The thing about loss is that it just doesn't seem to end.

Hidde invited me to share what my typical day looks like.

Every once in a while I realise that I have been rejected for something I didn’t even apply for.

The whole September I was quite overwhelmed with work and life.

When my Smashing Magazine article went live a couple of months ago a small discussion happened regarding my choice of words where I said I could have a “one true version” of yourself online.

The highlight of the month was: My article for Smashing Magazine went live!!

Last week my article for Smashing Magazine went live!

Many of us, myself included, have made jokes about how we are our family’s tech support in an annoyed tone.

I've been thinking about this bookmark page especially because styling wise it is incomplete and a bit ugly and one day someone will call me out.

I'm a big fan of static site generators and since last year I've been using Hugo for a lot for simple and small marketing/product websites for clients.

The news are quiet now and it is on purpose.

Back in March (which feels like it was 6 months ago), I helped organise the IndieWebCamp London and one of the sessions was about analytics and the IndieWeb.

Black Lives Matter.

I don't remember much from this last month.

Around two months ago I started to work from home everyday due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I announced on twitter a couple of days ago that I went a bit rogue on my blog.

March!

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been helping out Cheuk and Calum organise IndieWebCamp London and all the excitement has been building up now that we’re approaching the date of the event.

I didn't realise February was over until today!!!

Last November I attended FFConf where I saw two talks about performance: one from Anna Migas and another one from Harry Roberts.

The period between 12 and 22, in other words, is the time when you become you.

The longest month of the year is finally over!

My last bookmark post was in July 2019 and that is quite telling of how things didn't go so well last year for me.

This year sucked with the exception of one moment of it.

Needless to say, I am my cat's biggest fan.

It's been a while since I've written a blog post.

Two months after the first flower 🌸🌺

When this month started I was very optimistic.

😩

How is it July already?

Brighton was looking lovely today 😊

I wanted to write a good retrospective post about my 6 and something years as a developer.

Seeds were in on the 7th of April and today I got my first flower 🌸 🌞 fingers crossed they all make it!

On the right: 31st of March.

The other week I think I retired the talk I’ve been giving about blogging and ended a one year journey.

This month went by really quickly!

Bank holiday walks 🦆🌿

A month ago today I added another photo to this collection 😊💃🏻 always leaving inspired from @vesalaofficial shows ✨

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one struggling with how to put together all the pieces of the IndieWeb.
