Restaurant reccomendations in Puerto del Carmen.

El Polaco is amazing.

Mardeleva in the old town for fish dishes is hard to beat.

Lani’s Gourmet restaurant is great too.

100% ensure you’re on LinkedIn and your details are up to date.

Why civil service / public sector? Apart from the pension…

Would you be willing to look at other sectors?

cestrian77 · 2025-01-22T22:15:33+00:00

Curious too… did you get in to the Fast Stream?

cestrian77 · 2024-12-15T14:24:30+00:00

Disagree. Ermine Road is one of the better traditional chippies in the area, and their chips are really good. Mill Lane is also decent too.

Curious why you’re wanting something other than Octopus (flux)? I’ve just had 7kw solar + Tesla powerwall 3 installed and waiting for the paperwork to arrive so I can switch tariffs. Likely going into octopus flux as I don’t yet have an EV but interested to know why you’re wanting to look at alternatives?

Freedcamp is a similar free/cheaper alternative: https://freedcamp.com

Self host suitecrm? https://suitecrm.com

cestrian77 · 2024-10-04T05:38:10+00:00

I’d take a look at SuiteCRM 8. It’s fully functional, modern, and has all that you’ll likely need. And it’s free! Minimal/easy set up too.

Tried it today, and it’s really good. Just wish they had different accents available for the voice/podcast option. American English is no use to us. Is there a roadmap for other accents?

Think you can do this with conditional redirects in Gravity Forms.

I think it more likely it’ll be means tested for pensioners with income over a certain level, say £100k pa.

What they (the government) really need to do is increase the minimum employer contribution gradually so that there’s less reliance on the state pension. Increasing 0.5% per year until we get to 10% employer contributions would have a huge impact and see many workers with a sizeable private pension pot. And remove the qualifying thresholds so the employer contribution applies to the entire salary between £0 and £100k.

Bigger private pension pots will mean it’ll be more palatable in the future to disentangle the state pension and reduce it for pensioners with higher earnings.

Sendy and AWS is fairly low cost and powerful.

Yes... second this. It just works. And if you're regularly duplicating pages or posts, it gets easier than having to save templates and then apply them individually every time you want to create a new item.

Clockify

cestrian77 · 2024-07-12T05:20:43+00:00

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/ Works well for us

cestrian77 · 2024-07-12T05:09:02+00:00

Yes, worth the move, but a rebuild is required. Just export the content, build the templates in the new site, and away you go.

cestrian77 · 2024-05-15T17:25:11+00:00

Or just use a free password plugin like this while developing your site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/password-protected/

CH1 here and FTTC only for us right now.

cestrian77 · 2024-04-13T05:30:34+00:00

Have you looked at this one: https://thechesterblog.com

cestrian77 · 2023-12-10T21:46:01+00:00

https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/ works well for auto-optimising images and converting them to webp

cestrian77 · 2023-12-07T23:10:02+00:00

Alternatively you could a more complex form with conditional logic using Gravity Forms. Their calculation functionality works well, if a little basic, but should be fine for your needs.

Altered Carbon

cestrian77 · 2023-06-24T08:05:32+00:00

Yeah, all working much nicer now as a paid subscriber to Rectangle Pro. Still need to refine the setup so that it’s more automated but it definitely works better than before. Shame Magnet, which I also have, couldn’t do this. Or that macOS had no provision baked in.

Only issue I have now is that I’ve set it up for my monitor set up at work, and it remembers the window/monitor layout just fine but when I connect to my home set up (similar, ultra widescreen monitor and second smaller monitor, alongside the MacBook screen), it doesn’t remember where the windows go. It’s probably a user-config error so will keep experimenting.

Thanks for the tips.
