We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.

🎬 12 Angry Men

Movie poster for “12 Angry Men”.

Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.

🎬 The Blob

Movie poster for “The Blob”.

This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!

Why is it that Chrome is the only browser that ignores inputmode="none" on inputs?

I want inputs in freshly opened <dialog> elements to not trigger the soft keyboard right away on (auto)focus, but instead when the user signals that they want to enter something, e.g. by a tap on it.

Safari works ✅
Firefox on Android works ✅
Samsung Internet works ✅
Chrome shows the soft keyboard ❌
☹️

Do I really have to inject a dummy element with tabindex="0" before the first input for it to catch focus?

🎧 All We Love We Leave Behind – Converge

More Converge, more betterer! Certainly one of my favourite discoveries in recent years. While I enjoy everyone here, it’s again Ben Koller’s drumming and Nate Newton’s bass playing that fascinate me most. Just listen to that groovy drum rhythm, together with the rather calm bass in “All we love we leave behind”, or this insane drum fill in “Veins and Veils” (again, with a great bass riff). Putting a ride symbol in there like this makes me absolutely addicted, and makes me happy for days.

Since my Flickr account is not publicly accessible because I don’t want to pay for a Pro account (and there are apparently a couple of “unsafe” images somewhere in my account), I republished my WordCamp Frankfurt photos from 2016 (!) as a gallery on my photoblog.

I also updated the original blog post about the event, and replaced all of the old Twitter links with people’s website/blog URLs. 💪 (Now I want to find and replace ALL Twitter links…)

Let that be a reminder to myself to always post on my own website and link to people’s websites instead of social media profiles whenever possible!

🎬 Natural Born Killers

Movie poster for “Natural Born Killers”.

Greatly enjoyed this one. The two are just so sweet. So, I loved Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis here. Tommy Lee Jones was great, too. Greatly reminded me of Wild At Heart. Story and proposition is great two. Reminded me partly of Nightcrawler. And it is just overall funny and weird with wild camera work, which reminded me of Climax. But I would’ve enjoyed one more action scene like the one at the diner at the beginning.

🎬 L.A. Confidential

Movie poster for “L.A. Confidential”.

I liked this overall. It’s a wild chase with ever more intrigues and entanglements coming to light. I especially liked Guy Pearce’s character and performance. But I couldn’t fully enjoy this on a first watch, as this was so fast paced and has this rather complex plot (watching in to me non-native English didn’t quite help, either), that I had the constant feeling of having missed something. Luckily they actually explain more and more towards the end, and I could more and more shake that feeling. Still, maybe a candidate for a second watch.
