I largely agree with Peter's take on the loss of the slow, dusty web (and I mean that with the greatest admiration 😁). What I particularly enjoyed was the following dissection of the …

Adobe have put together a creative questionnaire, replete with quirky designs and animations. Not too sure about the actual style choices, but it's certainly consistent. At any rate, I'm apparently …

What's this, a new article? Containing a new Flickr album? Well, who would have …

I recently had need to embed a Flickr album, as I've done many times before. When I published the article, however, the album was broken and only showed a single image. Odd, sure, but I figured I had …

I was recently given a new laptop at work (🥳), but failed to realise that my Git author details weren't syncing correctly with GitHub for almost a month... 🤦 Rather than simply accept those white squares, I decided to rewrite the repository history. The process turns out to be quite simple, but I still hit several snags so figured it could be useful to document my fixes and errors.

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.

In which I begin by questioning why microformats are defined on the class attribute, instead of somewhere more bespoke, and end up concluding that I don't understand what microformats are actually for... and I'm not sure anyone else does, either.

Whilst archiving an old copy of Digital Photographer I came across a profile of North Devon photographer Ross Hoddinott. His work stood out as just exceptional landscapes from areas I love …

Every time I upload a GIF to this website it ends up rendered as a single frame. It's taken me quite a while to get to the bottom of why that is.

The IndieWeb was designed to be a better option for privacy, users, content authorship, and the open web. I think it largely meets those goals, but Sebastian has put together some excellent points on …

A wonderful (and wistful) treatise to the personal web. Takes a design-oriented approach, but the words are just as applicable to any discipline (even non-digital ones). More importantly, Simon's …

IWC London was one year ago today. When it came to an end, I felt like I finally understood the IndieWeb. I was wrong.

This looks like a very interesting world-building tool. Create maps, family histories, write stories, track campaigns, all from a single profile. Neat …

The tale of my (possibly brief) foray into the world of tech reviews and market influencers.

After over a decade on the platform, the time has come to step away from Twitter, likely for good. What a shame.

After a month on the Fediverse, what parts have I grown to love, which parts would I like to see changed, and what has surprised me the most.

A wonderful look into the practicalities and complexities of having an online presence. Should you have multiple domains for different purposes? How do you context switch online? And should you have …

A very thorough article discussing how to convert a Chrome browser into an SEO testing environment, through a combination of browser settings and third-party add-ons. I personally like the idea of …

Ever close Firefox or have a crash, restart it, and discover an entire window of tabs is missing? You can potentially resurrect that lost session state, if you act quickly enough.

A high-level overview of the differences between behavioural and contextual advertising, and some of the (many) advantages of the …

2023 was another BIG year in terms of, well, everything. We travelled all over the world. We attended scores of major events. And we got married. It's taken a while to write up, as a result!
