An amalgamation of all the data you get fed at the end of a year. From Spotify Wrapped, to Google tracking, to my own beer journal, a look back over 2019 from a (mildly) data-centred viewpoint.

The team behind the HTTP Archive do a fantastic job of analysing the web and 2019 is no exception. From JavaScript to accessibility, if you want to see how well we're doing as a community at standing …

A look back and a look forward... it must be the start of a new year. 2019 held a lot of change and personal improvement, but I can't help but feel that 2020 is going to be a big one. So what exactly do I have planned and what am I hoping for the next 12 months?

It's not so much a resource as a resource of resources; a meta resource. Providing high-level overviews of complex topics and then linking out to more detailed deep dives or explanations (not all …

Having just got back from Sidmouth Folk Festival, I wanted to jot down some of my thoughts about the eleven artists we managed to see whilst the music was still firmly playing in my ears.

It's that odd time of year, the bit between Christmas and New Year where time doesn't really flow like you expect it to. No one knows what day of the week it is and everything seems to be …

Last night was the grand finale of Game of Thrones and whilst everyone else is jumping on this bandwagon I figured I'd throw my own thoughts into the ring.

Craft CMS has the ability to accept environment variables as well as aliases. It can be worthwhile understanding how these two seemingly similar concepts differ, and when you might want to use one over the other.

Oh boy, there's a lot worth pulling out of this overview of upcoming web …

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 …

I feel like Max is about two years ahead of me on everything 😁 Here I am thinking about getting Twitter syndication working on Netlify, and he wrote a perfect tutorial back in 2019. Definitely …

As far as years go, 2021 held some pretty big surprises and featured some fairly grown-up decisions. Life will never be the same again...

I read the entirety of the EAA – including all supporting documentation – so you don't have to.

Looking back over 2024, through the lens of the data I captured (or had captured about me).
