<p>Well, when I say built, what I actually meaning is building.</p><p>By no means is this blog finished and I don't expect it to be finished anytime soon, if ever.</p><p>So why have I built (building) this:</p><h2>Writing</h2><p>So I can write about what I'm <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/about">passionate</a> about, you know:</p><ul><li>Music</li><li>Food</li><li>Books</li><li>Travel</li><li>Lego</li><li>The Web</li></ul><h2>Learning</h2><p>The industry I work in changes daily, every morning I read about a new practice or JavaScript Library or whatever. So this will allow me to write about what I've learnt in the building of this humble site.</p><p>The development of this blog can be found on <a href="https://github.com/dletorey/letorey.co.uk" title="letorey.co.uk Github Repository">github</a>.</p><p>This blog is built on <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net">Squiz Matrix CMS</a>, it's what I do during the week and probably way overkill for a simple blog, but will allow me to talk about development and new features in Squiz Matrix.</p><h2>What's happening</h2><p>I've started a <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/style-guide">Style Guide</a>, which will continue to grow overtime.</p><p>There a <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/new-features">new features</a> that need adding to this blog.</p><p>I already have a <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/things-to-write-about">backlog of posts</a> to write to, these will also drive what features are added first.</p>

<p>A couple of months ago I read a review of a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/nov/03/joro-sheffield-restaurant-review-guardian-felicity-cloake" title="Guardian review of Jöro">Sheffield restaurant in the Guardian</a>. The review excited me and as we were spending Christmas near Sheffield the next day I booked a table for two. <picture><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0018/2484/varieties/Large.jpg" media="(min-width: 1024px)"><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0018/2484/varieties/Medium.jpg" media="(min-width: 599px)"><img srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0018/2484/varieties/Small.jpg" alt="Wood Fired Onion" /></picture> <figcaption> Joro Wood Fired Onion </figcaption> </p><p>Their tagline is:</p><blockquote><p>A meal built of many small plates.</p><p>At Jöro we serve our food in the form of lots of small plates, allowing you to have as little or much as you want, snacking as you go. <cite><a href="http://www.jororestaurant.co.uk/">Jöro</a></cite></p></blockquote><p>I call it <strong>Yorkshire Tapas</strong>.</p><p>They also offer 2 tasting menus:</p><ul><li>8 courses £45 with matching Drinks Flight<sup><a href="#1">1</a></sup> at £35</li><li>10 courses £55 with matching Drinks Flight at £45</li></ul><p>We choose the 10 course with matching wines.</p><p>The food was incredible, most of the courses were vegetable based and my favourite was the <strong>Wood Fired Onion, Cherry Beer &amp; Yorkshire Blue</strong>.</p><p>The Staff were superbly knowledgeable about all of the food and wine, they were also passionate about the food industry and spoke about other restaurants and chefs they'd visited and admired.</p><p>We were told that the Head Chef, <a href="https://www.thestaffcanteen.com/Britain-s-Got-Talent/luke-french-chef-and-co-owner-joro">Luke French</a>, used to work at <a href="http://www.thefatduck.co.uk/">The Fat Duck</a> amongst others.</p><p>The restaurant itself was on the A61on the way to Barnsley, in a complex made of Shipping Containers but once you're inside the only indication that you're in Shipping Container is the narrow rooms.</p><p>I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you live in or near Sheffield there's no reason not to go. If you live in London the train is only 2hr so really there's no reason not to come, after all the cost of 10 courses and the train is way cheaper than anywhere you'd get the same quality in London.</p><h2>Menu</h2><p>What we had to eat.</p><ul><li>Butter poached celeriac with lincolnshire poacher, gherkin ketchup and crispy shallots <ul><li><a href="http://www.parrafamilyorganic.com/eng/wines/parra-jimenez-verdejo/">Parra Jimenez Verdejo</a></li></ul></li><li>Scottish king scallops with dashi &amp; seaweed cream, turnip and smoked scallop roe <ul><li><a href="https://www.henningswine.co.uk/product/vila-nova-vinho-verde/">Vila nova Vinho Verde</a></li></ul></li><li>Beetroots with horseradish, pumpkin seed granola and pickled blueberries <ul><li><a href="https://hannibalbrown.com/wines/type/white/bodegas-ontanon-akemi-rioja-blanco-2014-felix-jimenez">Akemi White Rioja</a></li></ul></li><li>Danish plaice with tartar sauce and crispy potatoe <ul><li><a href="https://www.forestwines.com/products/folle-blanche-pierre-luneau-loire">Folle Blanche</a></li></ul></li><li>Wortley estate mallard with red cabbage and honey glazed parsnip <ul><li><a href="https://www.chateaucivrac.com/store/6-x-Grand-Vin-2006-75cl-p46770646">Chateau Civrac 2006</a></li></ul></li><li>Wood Fired Onions with cherry beer and yorkshire blue <ul><li><a href="https://www.buonvino.co.uk/ciello-rosso-nero-d-avola">Ciello Rosso</a></li></ul></li><li>Moss Valley Pork, loin and belly with carrots and choucroute <ul><li><a href="http://www.ndjohn.co.uk/circumstance-sauvignon-blanc.html">Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc</a></li></ul></li><li>Carrot Cheesecake Sorbet</li><li>Compote of blackcurrants with pickled spruce ice cream and yoghurt <ul><li><a href="https://www.allaboutwine.co.uk/shop/details/9771/122/dessert-wine/chile/emiliana-late-harvest-sauvignon-blanc">Emiliana Late Harvest</a></li></ul></li><li>Brown butter parfait with parkin, apple and pedro xirnenez <ul><li><a href="https://www.allaboutwine.co.uk/shop/details/9771/122/dessert-wine/chile/emiliana-late-harvest-sauvignon-blanc">Emiliana Late Harvest</a></li></ul></li></ul><h2>Contact Details</h2><h3>Address</h3><p>294 Shalesmoor<br />Sheffield<br />S3 8US</p><h3>Telephone</h3><p><a href="tel:+441142991539">0114 299 1539</a></p><iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2379.4847807808087!2d-1.4779747841599604!3d53.38826747998789!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x4879787d92cd81dd%3A0x12ddd57e3de89e82!2s294+Shalesmoor%2C+Sheffield+S3+8UL!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1514292849167" width="100%" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen title="Map of J&ouml;ro"></iframe><p><sup id="1">1</sup> Drinks Flight - Matching wines for each course</p>

<p>So before I started this blog I read <a href="https://twitter.com/beep" title="Ethan Marcotte's Twitter">Ethan Marcotte</a>'s <a href="https://abookapart.com/products/responsive-design-patterns-principles" title="Responsive Design Patterns &amp; Principles Book">Responsive Design: Patterns and Principles</a>. It's a fabulous book and I shall write about it in the near future. After reading this the approach I chose for Responsive Images is to use the <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element.</p><h2>&lt;picture&gt; html element</h2><h3>History of &lt;picture&gt;</h3><p>The <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> is an HTML5 element, which was first suggested by <a href="https://twitter.com/brucel" title="Bruce Lawson's Twitter">Bruce Lawson</a>, among others<sup><a href="#1">1</a></sup> <sup><a href="#2">2</a></sup> <sup><a href="#3">3</a></sup> <sup><a href="#4">4</a></sup> <sup><a href="#5">5</a></sup> . The general idea being similar to the <code>&lt;video&gt;</code> &amp; <code>&lt;audio&gt;</code> elements, which allowed the user to embed rich media and have a fallback for browsers that do not support this new elements. Browsers are our friends, in the fact that if a browser does not recognise an element it just ignores it and the fallback enclosed in the element is displayed instead.</p><p>Once a specification for picture element was agree a crowdfunder was created for <a href="https://twitter.com/yoavweiss" title="Yoav's twitter">Yoav Weiss</a> to implement it in Blink<sup><a href="#7">7</a></sup>. Yoav then gave a talk about his work at State of the Browser 4<sup><a href="#8">8</a></sup>, hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/webstandards" title="LWS twitter">London Web Standards</a>.</p><h3>Syntax</h3><pre class="example-html">&lt;picture&gt; &lt;source srcset="images/large.jpg" media="(min-width: 1024px)"&gt; &lt;source srcset="images/medium.jpg" media="(min-width: 599px)"&gt; &lt;img srcset="images/small.jpg" src="images/large.jpg" alt="alternative text for image"&gt; &lt;/picture&gt; </pre><h3>How it works</h3><p>First of all if the browser <a href="https://caniuse.com/#search=picture" title="Can I Use Picture">does not support</a> the <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element, it just skips straight to the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element.</p><p>If the <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element is supported then it looks are the first <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> element and if the <code>media</code> attribute is true then it replaces the <code>src</code> attribute of the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element with the value of the <code>srcset</code> attribute.</p><p>If the <code>media</code> attribute is false it moves onto the next <code>&lt;source&gt;</code> element and so forth until it gets to the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element.</p><p>If the browser gets all the way to the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element then it replaces the <code>src</code> attribute with the value of the <code>srcset</code> attribute.</p><p>If the browser <a href="https://caniuse.com/#search=srcset" title="Can I Use srcset">does not support</a> the <code>srcset</code> attribute then it just uses the value of the <code>src</code> attribute.</p><h3>Using &lt;picture&gt; with Squiz Matrix</h3><p><a href="https://matrix.squiz.net" title="Squiz Matrix site">Squiz Matrix</a> allows you to automatically create different versions/sizes of an image when uploading an image called <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/core-assets/chapters/image#Varieties-Screen" title="Squiz Matrix Manual page on Image Varieties">image varieties</a>.</p><p>These varieties can be created manually<sup><a href="#9">9</a></sup> or automatically via a trigger<sup><a href="#10">10</a></sup>.</p><p>Images Varieties can be:</p><ul><li>Size <ul><li>width</li><li>height</li><li>both</li><li>min dimension</li><li>square and centered</li></ul></li><li>Alternative Image</li></ul><h4>Squiz Matrix Image Variety keyword replacements</h4><p>In Squiz Matrix, you can use keyword replacements<sup><a href="#11">11</a></sup> to show dynamic information about the assets (e.g. Images, pages, etc).</p><p>There are two different syntaxes for using image varieties:</p><ul><li><code>%image_v_&lt;variety_name&gt;%</code></li><li><code> &lt;img src="./?a=<strong>xxxx</strong>:v<strong>y</strong>$"&gt; </code> (where <strong>xxxx</strong> is the asset id of the image and <strong>y</strong> is the order the image variety was created)</li></ul><p>The first will print the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element with the image variety's url in the <code>src</code> attribute. The second will print the image variety's url in the <code>src</code> attribute.</p><p>A full list of all the image variety keyword replacements<sup><a href="#12">12</a></sup> can be found on the Squiz matrix manuals site.</p><h4>Squiz Matrix &lt;picture&gt; element syntax</h4><pre class="example-matrix">&lt;picture&gt; &lt;source srcset="./?a=xxxx:v1$" media="(min-width: 1024px)"&gt; &lt;source srcset="./?a=xxxx:v2$" media="(min-width: 599px)"&gt; &lt;img src="./?a=xxxx:v3$" srcset="./?a=xxxx:v3$" alt="&#37;globals_asset_attribute_alt:xxxx&#37;"&gt; &lt;/picture&gt;<br /></pre><hr /><h2>Alternative to &lt;picture&gt;</h2><p>The <code>srcset</code> attribute can also be used in the <code>&lt;img&gt;</code> element.</p><h3>Syntax</h3><pre class="example-html">&lt;img srcset="images/large.jpg 1440w, images/medium.jpg 720w, &nbsp;&nbsp;images/small.jpg 360w" src="images/main-medium.jpg" alt="alternative text for image" /&gt;<br /></pre><h3>How it works</h3><p>The srcset attribute has an image path followed by a width value if the width value is matched then that image is displayed, if not it moves onto the next image and width.</p><p>To find out more on how this works or is implemented I can highly recommend Ethan Marcotte's "<a href="https://abookapart.com/products/responsive-design-patterns-principles" title="Responsive Design: Patterns &amp; Principles">A Book Apart - Responsive Design: Patterns and Principles</a>".</p><hr /><h2>Footnotes</h2><p><sup id="1">1</sup> <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Jul/0121.html" title="WGHTML picture draft">W3C Draft proposal for <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element</a></p><p><sup id="2">2</sup> <a href="http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2011/notes-on-adaptive-images-yet-again/" title="Bruce's notes on adaptive images">Bruce Lawson's post: notes on adaptive images yet again</a></p><p><sup id="3">3</sup> <a href="http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2012/html5-urgently-needs-adaptive-images-mechanism/" title="Bruce's HTML5 urgently needs adaptive images">Bruce Lawson's post: html5 urgently needs adaptive images mechanism/</a></p><p><sup id="4">4</sup> <a href="http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2012/editors-draft-picture-element/" title="Bruce's editors draft on picture element">Bruce Lawson's post: editors draft <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element/</a></p><p><sup id="5">5</sup> <a href="http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2015/why-we-cant-do-real-responsive-images-with-css-or-javascript/" title="Bruce's blog on why we can't use JS for responsive images">Bruce Lawson's post: why we cant do real responsive images with css or javascript/</a></p><p><sup id="6">6</sup> <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/picture-element-implementation-in-blink" title="Crowdfunder for picture element">Indie Go Go crowdfunding page for implementation of <code>&lt;picture&gt;</code> element in blink</a></p><p><sup id="7">7</sup> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(web_engine)" title="Blink Web Engine">Wikipedia entry on Blink web engine</a></p><p><sup id="8">8</sup> <a href="https://vimeo.com/93347500">Yoav Weiss's talk on Responsive Images at State of the Browser</a></p><p><sup id="9">9</sup> <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/core-assets/chapters/image#creating-a-new-variety" title="Squiz Matrix Manual creating a new variety">Manually creating Image Varieties</a></p><p><sup id="10">10</sup> <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/triggers/examples/configuring-a-trigger-to-create-an-image-variety" title="Squiz Matrix manual for creating image varieties via a trigger">Creating image varieties via a trigger in Squiz Matrix</a></p><p><sup id="11">11</sup> <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/keyword-replacements">Squiz Matrix manuals page on keyword replacements</a></p><p><sup id="12">12</sup> <a href="https://matrix.squiz.net/manuals/core-assets/appendices/keyword-replacements#image-variety">Full list of image variety keyword replacements</a></p>

<p>So since I first published my <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/blog/ive-built-a-blog">first post</a> on this blog, I've been getting messages from friends on social media, for example from my friend David:</p><blockquote><p>dave i love the sidebar on your website 😍 <cite><a href="https://twitter.com/Orangetronic/status/946097827620339713">@Orangetronic</a></cite></p></blockquote><p><picture><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0008/2510/varieties/Large.jpg" media="(min-width: 1024px)"><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0008/2510/varieties/Medium.jpg" media="(min-width: 599px)"><img src="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0008/2510/varieties/Small.jpg" srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0008/2510/varieties/Small.jpg" alt="Sidebar of my blog" /></picture> <figcaption>Example of the sidebar in the early days of my blog</figcaption> </p><h2>Why is it not finished?</h2><p>Well there are a number of reasons:</p><p>First and foremost I've been planning this for so many years and nothing has happened as planning and planning and planning&hellip;</p><p>So what I decided was to just start writing and build the blog around the writing. There were a couple of things that I started with first:</p><ul><li>A basic grid layout - which I'm yet to blog about</li><li>The starting of a <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/style-guide">Style Guide</a></li></ul><p>Secondly, I wanted to use this blog to learn and write about my learnings. I have a <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/new-features">list of things</a> that I want to build on this blog.</p><p>Thirdly, if this blog is ever finished then that means that I've stopped learning or I no longer care about the new advances.</p><h2>What's happening next?</h2><p>Generally, the development of this site will be lead by either what I write about or what I learn about.</p><p>For example the other day I decided that I should have Google Analytics so that I discover where my readers are from. This meant that I needed to put <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/blog/adding-google-analytics-to-a-site">pictures in my blog post</a>, which also meant that I needed to workout:</p><ul><li>What type of responsive Images to use</li><li>What were the breakpoints for the responsive images</li><li>What sizes the images should be</li><li>How to style the images and captions</li></ul><p>This then lead to a later post on <a href="https://new.letorey.co.uk/blog/responsive-images">Responsive Images</a> and updating the style guide. It will also lead to a post on automatically creating multiple versions of an image in Squiz Matrix and a post on how to connect Squiz Matrix to Google Analytics to show results directly in the CMS, a concept originally thought up by <a href="https://twitter.com/justinavery" title="Justin's Twitter">Justin</a>.</p><p>If you have any thought/ideas then please let me know through <a href="https://twitter.com/dletorey" title="My twitter">twitter</a>.</p>

<p>2017 has been an incredible year for music with many highlights.</p><h2>Gigs</h2><p>This year I've been to a great many gigs some amazing and one that I walked out of. I'm not going to mention all of them here, but here are some of my favourites - not in any particular order. I'm often asked "what's your favourite/best gig this year?", well that changes depending on what day it is (although Kraftwerk in Antwerp was particularly awesome).</p><h3>Kraftwerk</h3><p>20 May 2017 - <a href="http://www.koninginelisabethzaal.be/en" title="Queen Elisabeth Hall">Queen Elisabeth Hall, Antwerp, Belgium</a></p><p><a href="https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kraftwerk/2017/koningin-elisabethzaal-antwerp-belgium-7be7e6d8.html" title="Set list">Setlist</a></p><p>We (Susan <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWineosaur" title="Lucy on Twitter">Lucy</a> &amp; I), went to see Kraftwerk perform <strong>Autobahn</strong> in Antwerp. Antwerp is probably my favourite Belgian city and has the greatest pub in the world<sup><a href="#1">1</a></sup>, <a href="https://www.ratebeer.com/p/kulminator-antwerpen/533/" title="The Kulminator on Rate Beer">The Kulminator</a>.</p><p>The gig was at the newly refurbished <span lang="be">Koningin Elisabeth Zaal. In fact it was so newly refurbished that, when we left, the exit was still not finished and was just bare concrete walls.</span></p><p>Our seats were on row <strong>AA</strong> so when we walked in I headed to the row just behind row Z, however it turned out that row AA was the very front row,( in fact our seats were just in front of Ralf). <picture><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0014/2534/varieties/Large.jpg" media="(min-width: 1024px)"><source srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0014/2534/varieties/Medium.jpg" media="(min-width: 599px)"><img src="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0014/2534/varieties/Small.jpg" srcset="https://new.letorey.co.uk/__data/assets/image/0014/2534/varieties/Small.jpg" alt="Ralf from Kraftwerk" width="1024" height="576" /></picture> <figcaption> Our view of Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk <cite> Photo by <a href="https://twitter.com/TheWineosaur">Lucy Robinson</a></cite></figcaption> </p><p>The acoustics in the hall were the best I've ever heard. There was not 1 flat surface, which meant that the sound was never bounced off a surface back at you. To top that, Kraftwerk had spent a few days making sure that the audio and video were perfectly set up.</p><p>They played all of the tracks from Autobahn<sup><a href="#2">2</a></sup> and also some of their other greatest tracks, including one of my favourites <strong>Tour de France</strong><sup><a href="#3">3</a></sup>.</p><h3>Sigur Ros</h3><p>20 September 2017 - <a href="https://www.eventimapollo.com/" title="Hammersmith Apollo">Hammersmith Apollo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/sigur-ros/2017/eventim-apollo-london-england-2be21096.html" title="Setlist for Sigur Ros">Setlist</a></p><p>We (<a href="https://twitter.com/CaptFakeBeard" title="Adrian (aka Captain Fake Beard) on Twitter">Adrian</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/pintsized" title="James on Twitter">James</a> &amp; I) went to this gig and really there's only one way to describe this gig: WOW!</p><p>The lighting was immense, in fact they used the walls as well as the stage. They had 3 video screens behind each other so they could create 3D visuals.

As we checked our coats into the cloakroom and worked our way upstairs to the main room, we could still hear nothing. As soon as we opened the door, there was the bass! It had been hiding behind the amazing soundproofing.</p><p>The wall on the right was entirely glazed and quadruple glazed at that. This had the effect that when you looked out and saw the terraced housing, the lighting reflected in the window looked like aliens were invading Bethnal Green.</p><p>Laurent Garnier was supported by French Techno DJ, DJ Deep. Just like Laurent Garnier he was banging - unless you were Issac Small!</p><p>Issac Small, took great exception to DJ Deep playing a "Banging Set" and he'd gone round the venue and defacing all the posters explaining:</p><blockquote><p>Warm up DJs, should Warm Up not play a Banging set to distract from the main act <cite> Issac Smalls </cite></p></blockquote><h3>Booka Shade</h3><p>7 April 2017 - Printworks</p><p>Printworks is another incredible venue, it used to house the printing presses of the Evening Standard.</p><p>The lighting rig is amazing.</p><h3>Greg Wilson</h3><p>4 November 2017 - <a href="http://xoyo.co.uk/" title="XOYO site">XOYO</a></p><p>Greg is just awesome, love the guy, here's his <a href="https://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/xoyo-london-041117-greg-wilson-live-mix">set from this night</a>.
