The first Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf Schepp and I co-organised turned out well. We gathered at Düsseldorf’s central library inside its “Xafé” café. We had 7 participating adults and 2 children. ;)
The meetup was more exchange and discussions than actual work on one’s websites. Discussed topics included:
- “I want to build my own website”
- Opinions on tooling
- RelMeAuth
- Podcast metric aggregation
- WebSub
- Personal publishing workflows and tools
- Image hosting
- RSS feeds
- …and probably even a few more.
Very enjoyable evening!

Making things happen
I have spent the last fifteen or so minutes exploring the newly-released Internet Phone Book. The book is a collection of hundreds of websites, as well as stories of the web. When I first saw the book online, I knew I would love it: it’s a mix of old and the new. Holding the ...
DevTools features I like: Computed CSS
One of my favourite parts of working with the web is the developer tools available. With browser developer tools, we can inspect individual elements on a page. We can even move, edit, and remove elements. We can change styles, inspect the values of scripts, and more. There ar...
Honestly, the new Fujifilm X half looks really appealing. I think there should be way more playful digital cameras, too - like this one.
play; ground
I love playing with code in the browser. I often create blank HTML files to explore ideas and to learn. I like experimenting with CSS features I have never used in a new file so I can learn the fundamentals and explore. I can start from a blank slate and see how my code – and...
Building an edit button browser extension
I have been using my website editing bookmarklet for the last few months to edit several websites. I can click the Edit bookmarklet and, if the page I am viewing has a rel=edit link, link anchor text that indicates an edit link, or is a page on my website, the corresponding e...
Florian made a public “Photography Channels” list on FeedCity. Already (re-)discovered some great YouTube channels and bookmarked a bunch of videos.
Accessibility Club Summit 2025
Next weekend, 24 and 25 May, I am going to be in Würzburg to attend (and help a little bit) at the Accessibility Club Summit 2025.
Would be lovely to see you there! Arriving Friday around 4pm and leaving Monday morning.
A lot is planned and you can see everything that is happening plus a detailed schedule on their website.
See you there!
Reply via EmailUpgraded to Sequoia
I usually always wait long before I upgrade to a new OS version. Now I finally upgraded to Sequoia (15.5) and I have to admit that everything feels much faster. I am surprised.
Reply via EmailSetting up a Zoom account for a community with an admin and Pro user
I have been running a monthly online event in a community I am in using my personal Zoom for a few months. We needed a Pro account so we would have unlimited meeting length, so I decided to upgrade mine with the intent of figuring out a better solution further down the line.

Ran my 13th Bay to Breakers race in 1:55:31 today! 4min+ faster than last year.Once again the Midnight Runners crew cheered runners in Hayes Valley at the park a couple of blocks before the hill.Felt better than I did last year, more able to sustain a moderate pace.One quick ...
Co-organisers help me make events happen
I have co-hosted a lot of online events as part of the IndieWeb, the 32-Bit Cafe, and other communities. A few months ago, I reflected on how events don’t happen without organisers. Organisers put in the time to make events happen – they do all the coordination and prep work,...

The bookshop
Poetical Works of Scott read one of the titles on the shelf in the Poetry section. The word “Poetical” stood out to me; we would say “poetic” now. Language changes over time., I thought to myself. We simplify words; we make new ones; some words fall out of fashion; some are m...
Telemaco Signorini’s Waverley Bridge
Whenever I go to an art gallery, I strive to make sure I have time to see any Impressionist exhibits. Impressionism is my favourite type of art. Today, with no plans for the afternoon, I went into the National Museum of Scotland. I have been a few times, so I headed directly ...
A spring day in the city
The sky is wonderfully blue. I can’t see a single cloud. I wrote as I was walking through the park this morning. When I see the sky so blue, I cannot help but crane my head around to see whether I can spot a cloud. I couldn’t! Maybe there was one hidden behind the tall green ...
Morning
This morning I woke up early. I like to wake up early on weekends and do some reading. I usually go to a coffee shop. There is nothing like reading a book with a coffee in hand. I’m reading Before Tomorrowland right now, which tells the story before the world in which the Tom...
