Text notebooks with editable outputs

“Notebooks” are a programming environment where you can run code in the same file as you see the output. You can edit your code and run the edited code again as many times as you want. Notebooks are made of cells. A cell can either be code, non-executable text – for example, ...

Flowers and trees

“There is a joy to walking on a familiar path but in a new direction,” I thought as I walked to the botanic gardens. I enjoyed walking on the sunny side of the street as I ventured to a part of the city I don’t visit as often. With every step, I found delight in my surroundin...

The bookshop

The well-kept antique books in the window caught my eye, all carefully bound in the way that only old books are. I stopped and looked around. Through the tall window through which the natural light of the sun was beaming – the bookshop was on the sunny side of the street – I ...

Quotes

I collect quotes on a quotes page on my website. I add to it every few months. Since I think the quotes page is only linked on one page — my pages page (#meta) — I wanted to publish a post to say it exists. I hope you enjoy the quotes! If you have a collection of quotes on your website, send me an email and let me know.

Tales of Debugging: The missing character

I received an interesting bug report this week. A new user of Artemis reported that the letter “n” was missing from all of their post titles. For example, one post title ended in “Oe Moth I” instead, as it should read, “One Month In”. What was causing the bug? I had a hunch. ...

Website reflections

Guided by wondering “what would I say to my younger self starting a website?”, I started taking notes. Here they are: Don’t worry about writing on one topic. You’ll find great joy in exploring new ones. Write what you love — the observations of your life, the things that mak...

Something I wrote in the W3C Authentic Web Mini Workshop’s Zoom chat:Another implicit assumption (flaw) that is often a part of "purely technical solutions" is the neglect or ignorance (innocent naïveté) of existing technical solutions. A technical proposal should not be prai...

I just participated in the first W3C Authentic Web Mini Workshop¹ hosted by the Credible Web Community Group² (of which I’m a longtime member) and up front I noted that our very discussion itself needed to be careful about its own credibility, extra critical of any technologi...

Designing code snippets in technical content

When I was re-designing my website, I thought a lot about the presentation of prose, guided by the intention to build a more focused theme for reading my words. Over the last few months, I have also thought about the design of multimedia content: images and videos. Designing ...

Matcha

I am excited by the arrival of spring; a time of flowering and growth and, hopefully sunshine. As it gets (a little bit) warmer, I have been in the mood for my go-to, non-coffee iced drink 1: a matcha latte. Last week, after drinking one, I thought maybe I could try making ic...

🎬 Vampires

This is certainly not my favourite Carpenter movie, but I think it was totally fine. Although I prefer those wine-sipping romantic European vampire films that this one mocks. I have criticism regarding the reduction of pace in the middle, that strange love story, James Woods’ annoying character, and general more leaning towards an action zombie movie. But I generally liked the acting and characters, Sheryl Lee slowly turning into a vampire, and the whole splattery action at the party in the beginning is pretty damn good.
