Week 47

23 November 2019
  • If you haven’t registered to vote you have a few more days to do it, it takes less than 5 minutes
  • It was my last day at GDS on Thursday, it’s been a long time coming but it suddenly happened all of a sudden and took me back a bit.
  • Had a great evening at the pub with people though, thanks to everyone who came
  • I was bought a very nice book I didn’t know existed by the Noma people about fermatation. Very much looking forward to stinking out our kitchen
  • Sasha Baron Cohen gave a speech this week at the Anti-Defamation League was pretty great and worth reading
  • It reminded me about this excellent mini essay by Robin Sloan which very eloquently summises what is wrong with Twitter and Facebook and how some sort of negative feedback loop would benefit everyone.
  • I’ve been enjoying these daily drops of election coverage from James Butler

About me

Jon Heslop is a web developer based in Walthamstow, he lives with his wife Rebecca and their dog, Maude. He enjoys cycling, cooking and hanging out with friends.

Enough of the third person... I was born in London, grew up on the Wirral before coming of age in the Midlands (somehow that’s the accent that mostly stuck). I went to university in London and then spent a while in West Wales.

I’ve been building websites since I was a teenager and I have been very lucky with the places and people I’ve worked with over the years.
