This week

This has been a busy week! Earlier in the week, I attended my first EdinburghJS Meetup, at which I met many wonderful people. As always, I am a bit nervous before going to events. What if I can’t find the location? What will I say? Those fears usually leave my system after a...

I used to have time to make adorable dog-, heart-, or poop-shaped pancakes. But now that the kids have reached a reasonable size, they’re eating so fast that I. Need. To. Keep. Them. Pancakes. Coming. 😅

(Don’t tell @jaffathecake that I put sparkling water into the pancake batter … 🤫)

Buying just another cheap plastic Amaran light didn't feel right and I also didn't want to spend a fortune for a “real” Aputure light. So I went with the Godox LE300Bi. Seems like the best budget COB LED light at the moment. A really solid metal enclosure, bi-colour 2800–6500K with decent color accuracy, app-controlled, and with an acceptable noise floor. Should be a much better light overall. 🤞

After (only?) about 5 years, my Amaran 200d led light suddenly went dark. I ordered a replacement power adapter but that didn’t solve the issue. 😔 Any recommendations for a light that lasts a tad longer?

Share your website at events

Yesterday I attended a Code Jam event organised by the EdinburghJS community. During the event, I met many wonderful people. At one point, someone asked me to share my LinkedIn, to which I responded that I’ll share my website instead. I stopped for a moment to consider that t...

Designing a service with IndieAuth and email-based login

Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, offers three methods of authentication: IndieAuth, email and password, and passkeys. IndieAuth is offered as a sign-in method because I want Artemis to allow people to use their domain names as their identities. Email and password auth...

Subscribing to local news with a web reader

Most of the websites I follow in my web reader are personal sites like blogs. With that said, recently I subscribed to my local council’s news web page. On that page, they publish various updates – events coming to the region, draft council reports, weather warnings, and more...

Announcing Artemis Roll-up

Some web feeds, especially those published on news websites, are updated several times a day with new entries. Websites that publish so regularly can be distracting in your web reader when you want to skim your feed for new posts from all the websites you follow. With this i...

Piano, vulnerability, and playing guitar

Sometimes things just click. Then when you reflect you realise that the thing clicked because of many things all coming together – that as much as you wanted to advance an idea in the past, it needed time. I had one of these moments during the writing meetup I hosted this ev...
