Resurrecting web marginalia
A few careful thoughts about the utility of "web marginalia", in this case for discovery; things like blogrolls, feed lists, and webrings. John wonders if their demise is in part due to the loss of […]
Wipe Git history from a repository
A short guide to removing Git history entirely. Particularly useful when you're forking an existing project as a base for something […]
Testing microformats
Very useful! A service that can take any URL and output the parsed results as JSON, letting you quickly see your site as a machine would. Helped me catch that my rel=me links were duplicating […]
Climate strike software
The Climate Strike License is an attempt to block companies that profit from climate change using open-source software. It's certainly an interesting approach, though I've no idea how enforceable it […]
Clean up your online presence
Not entirely sure what permissions you have to give it, but Deseat is an interesting idea that could come in handy when tidying up your web presence. It (somehow) compiles a list of accounts that you […]
The thousand island archipelago
Indonesia is a part of the world high on my "to visit" list. Between Komodo dragons, Homo floresiensis, the Wallace Line, and – of course – the delicious satay dishes, there's a lot […]
The rise and demise of RSS
A fascinating dive into the history of RSS. From the initial duel-creation of RDFSS and Scripting News format, to the perceived pre-bubble-burst concept that syndication was the future, until the […]
IndieWebCamp London 2020
I finally made it to an IndieWebCamp meetup, even if it was remote only due to the increasingly restrictive implications of the coronavirus. I learnt a lot, I had a great time, and I'm ready to start implementing a whole bunch of new ideas right here. I also took a huge number of notes from the speakers and sessions throughout the day.
The Parisianer: A (Hopeful) Future of Paris
I have to admit, after a particularly awful experience well over a decade ago I have deliberately avoided travelling through the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. As a result, I had no idea about […]

March Films - From Deadpool to Walter Mitty. ✔
So we've ended up going on a bit of a catchup bender over the weekend (and past week) due to the atrocious weather and intermittent plans. As a result, I've caught up a weird mixture of films that […]

Make Me Pulse
Occasionally, Stumbleupon delivers something totally unexpected and awesome. It's why I still get the service's weekly emails years after ever actively using the... app? Extension? Whatever, today it […]
Delivering frustration
It (was) 11:45, we (had) just returned from a very pleasant evening with some family/friends last seen whilst travelling through New Zealand... and I (was) arranging parcel re-deliveries. Not the […]
Psychic algorithms are here
Today contained dull, "adult" stuff regarding accounts and filing. Not very inspiring, but a good excuse to test Spotify's latest feature: Discover […]
One Small Leap
Yesterday, I implied that this site was ugly by design. See, my retreat from web development wasn't due to lack of time, nor waning interest. My love of coding, designing and experimenting with the […]
