Sunset; music

The horizon is bathed in orange and a faint pink hue as the hills in the middle distance turn blue with the haze of the summer’s evening. Light white clouds are scattered across the sky. Looking at the clouds, I see art; looking around at the hills and fields I see art, too....

Nature

Breathe in. Breathe out. Standing in the fresh warm summer’s air, I found my breath slowing, and deepening. I wandered as I transitioned from the feeling of indoors to the Nature of outdoors. Trees and bushes and the light sounds of Nature accompany me as I put one foot forw...

75 reasons to start a personal website

I love having a personal website. Here, I share reflections, stories, thoughts, ideas, and more. Because I have a website, I always have the idea in the back of my mind that there is a place for my writing. I can write a story and share it with friends, and even the world. W...

Count Binface would get my vote, if I had one. But alas, where is Screaming Lord Sutch now that we really need him?

How my images are dithered

I don't know much about dithering. But when I visit other people's sites and they dither their images in cool ways I always wonder how they do it. So in case anyone is wondering, here's my current method for dithering these pink images.

obligatory example image for when I undo this 2 months from now and no one knows wtf I am talking about. The picture shows me and my friends at a restaurant and is made up only of shades of pink, as well as black and white.

What Makes a Conference Great

A few days ago, right after I posted my write-up of Head in the Cloud, my friend Sacha Judd, who spoke at beyond tellerrand three times already, published a piece called “What makes a conference great”. Reading it felt a little like hearing my own talk played back to me inst...

Gianni Infantino Acts Disgusting

It is absolutely disgusting to see just how corrupt an organisation like FIFA is. We knew it all along, of course, but having it laid out so openly, as is currently the case with the rescinding of that red card, is frustrating and sad.

Disgusting!

How do I know the system is working?

A few weeks ago, I received a bug report for Artemis that indicated a user’s reader was not being updated as expected. This error was caused by a feed that caused the polling code to error out and stop. My code assumed a value was present and, if it wasn’t, the program would...

Forest

You look up from your bed of grass flowers, opening your eyes to see the layers of branches grown by the trees in the grove that surrounds you. The blue sky peeks through the gaps between the leaves. The sunlight that shines through and onto the leaves and branches leaves yo...

Star

First star — in the sky next to the tall Gothic monument in the town square, a square with many outdoor restaurants — people laugh and take pictures, eat ice cream, stroll, enjoy the moment. I love watching the world. Of seeing colours and tenors and of hearing sounds that you can only appreciate when out in the world — the sound of a bike breaking in the cobblestone, manoeuvring with ease through the town square.
Written in Hauptmarkt, Nürnberg.

What does a blog post sound like?

As I write, I hear the keys on my keyboard pressing down – the sounds are fast, rhythmic, comforting. I hear the whirr of a hard drive in the background, and the occasional car walk past. Every so often, bird song comes into the foreground; I hear the calls of birds in the d...

Brainstorming a loginless web reader

At IndieWebCamp Nürnberg, Tilman worked on a “feedroll”, a collection of feeds aggregated on a single page that demonstrates the capability of following different websites with a web reader. This, and a discussion with friends, got me thinking about what a “loginless” web re...

Author/reader interaction on the indie web

Every so often I hear or read about the significance of readers as part of the indie web. Indeed, the indie web is about much more than making personal websites: it is a space where there are many personal websites to explore. You don’t need a personal website to explore the...
