📖 Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue (und andere Erzählungen) – Edgar Allen Poe

Book cover of “Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue (und andere Erzählungen)” by Edgar Allen Poe.

Ich hatte dieses Buch in unserem Schrank gefunden, und dachte es wär’ mal was anderes ab und zu eine Kurzgeschichte dieses weltberühmten Autors zu lesen.

Gefiel mir. Einige Geschichten waren in der Tat sehr morbide. Und “Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue” war die beste – und ist meiner Meinung nach somit zu Recht eine der bekanntesten Erzählungen Poes.

Ich mochte seinen Schreibstil, besonders, wie er viele der Geschichten aus (scheinbarer?) Autorensicht eingeleitet hat.

🎧 Imperial – Soen

The new Soen album came out and it’s in heavy rotation.

[UPDATE:] This seems to not be for me this time around. I find myself regularly skipping songs, because either melody, guitar solo or vocals are unbearably cheesy. A shame, because some songs are actually quite good.

🎬 Host

Movie poster for “Host”.

I liked this one! Yes, it’s got fairly typical horror movie elements. But the stage is a Zoom-call during the Corona-lockdown. And I found this pretty well done.

Reminded me of “The Blair Witch Project” (if I remember correctly – because that was looong ago) and “Rec”.

My Typical Day

Colin Devroe kicked off a series of “My Typical Day” posts. He tagged Dan Mall (and Chris Coyier, Jeremy Keith and others) and Dan tagged Sara Soueidan (and Dave Rupert, Rob Weychert, and others) and Sara tagged me (and Cassie Evans, Anton Sten, and others). Although I’ve n...

Running WebKit on Windows

Safari 5.1, back in 2010, was the last WebKit browser that somebody released for the Windows platform. Since then debugging things in WebKit came down to either buying a whole Mac or using a remote Safari in Browserstack. Funnily enough, the WebKit team kept pumping out nigh...

I removed pagination from a few index pages. Because: who needs pagination when you have compact index pages and all images are lazy loaded? Right: no one! Kinda fixes static page search, too.

🎧 Paranoid – Black Sabbath

I never listened to this album. But because it’s such a classic, I know pretty much every song on here. And I’m enjoying it!

And if the end lead riff of “Fairies Wear Boots” was not a major influence for Metallica’s “For Whom The Bell Tolls” I’ll eat my hat!

🎬 Barn (Beware of Children)

Movie poster for “Barn (Beware of Children)”.

This was a slow movie and more like a psychological and/or social study than about the plot itself.

Relationships, feelings and emotions can be complex and the movie intelligently communicated this. And are so-called grown-ups really that for off in their behaviour from children?

Gradient Multiline Padded Text

For whatever reason a question from Dan Mall from 2018 popped up in my timeline where he was asking how to create multiline padded text with a consistent gradient background in CSS: CSS superfriends! Have you seen examples of how to do multi-line padded text like this artic...

On leaving out the alt Attribute

As it seems I'm currently looking at my Twitter timeline way too often. Because this time it was a tweet from Šime Vidas that caught my attention: Do I need alt text if there’s a visible image description?<figure> <img src="x.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="">...

📄 Updated pedalboard

I bought more pedals. And so I needed a bigger board, to be able to fit them all. Here’s what it looks like now:

🎬 Suspiria (2018)

Movie poster for “Suspiria (2018)”.

Although this is not a remake, I think I enjoyed the “original” more.

This rendition certainly had a much better production and much better acting. And it wasn’t bad at all. And I very much enjoyed the Berlin set. But I found the side-plots somewhat irrelevant and the main story confusing. Or maybe it was just too late in the day, yesterday night.

So, it was a good movie, but I wasn’t 100% convinced.

🎬 Druk (Another Round)

Movie poster for “Druk (Another Round)”.

Four school teachers wanted to try a philosopher’s theory that humans generally have 0.05% too little blood alcohol. So they started drinking.

This is funny, has drama, and wonderful acting. Highly recommended!

Fixing Smooth Scrolling & Page Search (updated!)

Yesterday, as I was browsing my Twitter timeline, a tweet from Chris Coyier popped up, in which he mentioned feedback he got for one of his CSS Tricks experiments. It went as follows: Anecdotal thing: when I had this on @CSS, I had SO MANY reports of people annoyed that whe...
