![]() ![]() This year we spent Christmastime in New Orleans, St Pete (more on that in a different post) and Key West. It reminds me of the little girl inside me who remembers going to the mall as a child and thinking how big and beautiful all the decorations were and wishing we could have that at home. I love the sound of a piano playing Christmas music in the marble lobby of a grand hotel with a tree three times what I can fit in my house and hotels with the most memorable Christmas traditions, as you’ll see below. I love huge Christmas buffets (because who doesn’t like options), formal Christmas dinners, and special Christmas treats that trained pastry chefs take years learning to perfect. I love hotel Christmas decorations, because they usually have larger floral and decorative budgets than any of us, along with a full staff to make Christmas magic truly something special. There is nothing more I love than hotels and traveling around Christmastime. One of the other spectacular things about this hotel is the lighting.Ĭhristmastime in The Crescent City and The Conch Republic The colorless interior, white upholstery, organic and textural materials, concrete, stone, and wood provide visual silence and a place to rest the busy mind. Reminds me of Bali’s full moon celebrations and day of silence and darkness offering respect to our planet. That evening, they dim the lights in the lobby and illuminate the area with candles to raise awareness of global brightening and consumption. The hotel hosts full moon celebrations every month to celebrate the changing of the tides, cosmos and energy with the rise of the full moon, as well as, once a month observing something called Dark Sky. Not only is the mindful approach practiced in the the physical nature of the building and daily practices of sustainability, but also in the spiritual. They even use recycled chalkboards in the room for notes and doodles to cut down on paper waste. This philosophy touches every detail in the hotel like no plastic keys to enter your room and all natural bath products. Even the hangers are made from 100% post consumer recycled materials. Both the hotel and operations are designed and run on the best sustainability practices by focusing on environmental impact, recycled building materials, local food sourcing, and things like water and air filtration systems. I like to say,” I love coloring with all the crayons in the box, but I want to come home to something visually quiet.” This hotel is the silence and texture I crave.ĭesigned with eco-friendly principles in mind, the hotel is LEED certified and built with reclaimed materials throughout. Working with clients gives me the opportunity to explore a variety of design aesthetics, color and styles different from my own personal tastes. My projects are a reflection of my client’s homes and businesses, design aesthetics, tastes, styles, colors, products, and demographic we are trying to capture. I always enjoy it when people go to my website and see the projects I have worked on and say, “I see you really like color.” For me, that means I’m doing my job. ![]() I’m becoming more and more minimal as I age and have decided I need less and less around me to make me happy. If you were to ask me what my style is, this would be it. I have been wanting to share the interior of this hotel since we returned last month. We need one last look before we dash out. I love tactile materials that begged to be touched, and a mirror in a vestibule at a hotel is a necessity. These 3-diminesional tiles in the second photo add a graphic detail and play tricks on the eyes making you question if they are in fact 2-D or 3-D. Lighting is absolutely everything for mood. The vertical, stack bond, blue tile is like a gorgeous ocean blue in varying shades highlighted by indirect lighting originating from the ceiling cloud above and uplighting from the floor. ![]() They also receive a lot of abuse with high traffic and things like careless people in a rush or weary travelers with suitcases. I find in some projects, clients want to spend less on these spaces, and I understand that, but these spaces are important to continue the vibe. While these seem unimportant, corridors, vestibules and other transition spaces support the experience. ![]() I tell you this because you might fit into one of these categories, and while the next pictures may be of little interest to you, they might be for someone else in this group. My fellow designers, to show ideas and how other designers have treated each space and situation, and lastly the potential future client who reads this to educate themselves, because maybe, they are thinking about a project of their own someday. When I share a blog, I consider three readers: The person who knows nothing about design but is interested in beautiful spaces, places and travel. ![]()

In this case, we will use the version control tool to track changes to the files that make up the site, as we will see below. These files usually belong to the source code of a programme, but the system can track changes to any file. Version control is a system used by programmers that keeps track of changes made to a file or series of files. Git is a distributed version control programme. This is a crucial aspect for us and one of the reasons why we have analysed and studied it. As far as multilingual features are concerned, Grav comes already internationalised, meaning it is already set up to be able to publish in multiple languages. Not having to dredge up content from a database not only makes it much faster, but it is also versatile and powerful enough to be used to create almost any kind of site.Įven though there is an administration interface, all the management can also be run directly from the command line, giving admins an additional advantage in terms of flexibility. It was voted “Best Open-Source CMS” in 2016 and “Best Flat-File CMS” in 2017 by CMS Critic. ![]() Lastly, Grav is an open source project, meaning its code is public, so it can be freely viewed and edited. With database CMS we should instead intervene on the database structure or install appropriate add-ons (plugins). One other really important advantage for what we are trying to achieve is that a site can be localised by simply creating the text files in each language and changing just a few settings in the system configuration file. ![]() Unlike with database CMS, you won’t need to download files with the one hand and dump the database with the other. For instance, all that is needed to create a backup copy of a site developed with Grav (or another flat-file CMS) is to download the web folder where the site is located. This feature makes a huge difference to streamlining admin and management work. Markdown files are plain text files that use a special syntax. We talk about it extensively in another article on this blog, “ What’s Markdown and how you use it”. Markdown is a markup language that supports file scripts that are to be converted to HTML or other formats. User-generated content is saved in text files in Markdown format (*.md). It falls within the flat-file CMS category, meaning it is file-based instead. Unlike WordPress, Grav does not save content in a database. These systems are referred to as database CMS. Most of these systems, such as WordPress or Joomla, save user-generated content in a database (usually MySQL), while site pages are generated via PHP files. About half of all existing sites are estimated to be CMS-based. The best-known CMSs are WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, but there are hundreds more out there. However, the site’s appearance is controlled by themes or templates, collections of files that can be installed separately to change the layout, colours, how content is displayed across the page, etc. It normally uses a graphic administration interface, a back-end, where the visible elements of the site, the front-end, can be controlled from without necessarily having to write code. A CMS is a programme installed on a web server that lets you create and manage sites. To create multilingual sites, all you need is to combine 3 free, open-source tools, a CMS, a version control system and an assisted translation tool: ![]() ![]() ![]() However, there are dozens of perfectly legal devices out there and there’s nothing illegal about the Kodi platform itself, provided you don’t use it with piracy-enabling add-ons. In the wilder parts of eBay, you might stumble across devices calling themselves Android TV boxes that claim to come unlocked or preloaded with what would normally be subscription channels or free content. Many Android TV boxes market themselves as Kodi devices on which you can download the Kodi open-source software and gain access to music and audio streaming across an enormous range of services. ![]() In theory, this makes an Android TV box an incredibly flexible device for streaming content to your TV from the internet or a NAS drive or playing back media stored locally on the device itself.īest streaming stick 2022: Our favourite compact media streamers from Amazon, Google and Roku How to choose the best Android TV box for you What is an Android TV box?Īn Android TV box is a small set-top box, roughly the size of Apple TV, running either Google’s Android TV software or – more frequently – a reskinned version of standard Android.

For most part the mouse is comfortable, although we didn't like the rubber coated scroll wheel which takes is slower than most others we have used. It is a five-button mouse with a scroll wheel, left and right-click buttons as well as two thumb buttons. The IntelliMouse Explorer included in the package also worked well and can be used as soon as the Fingerprint reader is connected to your PC. The Fingerprint Reader also doesn't prevent others from guessing your password and typing it in - the usual hazards of using passwords still apply. Microsoft suggests that the Reader should not be used to protect highly sensitive information and is for convenience, rather than high-level security. It does work with most other programs though - we used the Reader to protect log-ins for Lotus Notes and MSN Messenger, just to name a few. Unfortunately, the Fingerprint Reader does not work with any browser other than Internet Explorer, which is a major drawback for those who prefer the popular Mozilla Firefox. At any time, you can scan your finger to bring up the convenient One Touch Menu, which allows you to edit settings including sounds, prompts and taskbar options. If your read is unsuccessful, a yellow question mark appears instead. When your fingerprint is successfully scanned a small icon is displayed in the left hand corner of the screen, which signifies that the read was successful with a green light. Once you have set-up the Reader to register your prints, it is a simple matter of going to any password-protected website or program and scanning your print to create a fingerprint logon.
