I haven\u2019t quite got to adding another project yet. Instead, I figured out how to implement a Google Calendar booking link, and also how to zoom and pan an image using <a href=\"https:\/\/leafletjs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leafletjs<\/a> \u2014similar to what you get with Google Maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I hear you say, &#8220;Why didn\u2019t you just work on the portfolio part?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, I kinda did, actually. I\u2019m all about solving problems and getting things to work with ease. Yes, I stared at the tutorial screen wondering \ud83e\udd14, am I ever going to understand this logic for the image zoom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After about an hour of trying, the answer was clearly a &#8220;No, I am not.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I used a tool\u2014AI\u2014to help me figure out the answer. Much like an old-school calculator, I dropped in the bits of code I was mucking around with and gave it a prompt. The first solution wasn\u2019t quite right, so I thought of better prompts, and voil\u00e0! I got the answer and tested it in my own HTML page on my staging server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It actually bloody worked! Wow. I really couldn\u2019t believe it. The only thing left for me to do was to make my image the correct aspect ratio of 16:9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing you will get to know about me: I don\u2019t give up so easily. I\u2019m resourceful, and I do my best to solve problems that others would probably just put in the &#8220;too-hard basket.&#8221; \ud83e\uddfa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nope, not me. I accept a good challenge. I can, and I will, find ways to get things to work well, and for its intended purpose. I\u2019m a product designer\u2014that\u2019s what we\u2019re trained to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you need someone to tackle some of the most challenging tasks or ideas \ud83d\udca1, I\u2019m willing and able. Get in touch, cos yeah, I need the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life\u2019s no Swiss cheese \ud83e\uddc0 without it! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I did a bit of work on my website, realising that this is perhaps what\u2019s letting me down on securing interviews.
