Affordances of a screenless writing interface

This post was written first with my screenless writing interface, and then edited in Ghost, which I use to publish blog posts to this website. The extent of my edits were fixing typos and reworking the introduction and conclusion a little bit. My original concern when brains...

Writing a blog post without a screen

This text below post is presented verbatim, as it was typed with only a keyboard: without a display or any assistive technology. Typos are left in. The "Notes after writing" and "My writing setup" sections were typed on my Mac as I prepared to publish the post. This is my fi...

The final movement of Beethoven’s piano sonata No. 32 – his very last – is one of the most beautiful and divine pieces of music ever written. Just incredible. And @igorpianist’s interpretation is simply beyond anything you’ll ever hear. 🖤 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfm-IXEZiKI&list=PL1IXBSY4jc2tE5w8zZ_Pwf10vO3a5zuCT&index=102

Ideas for web readers

Every so often I have an idea for a feature that might be interesting in a web reader. I write down my ideas in my notes. Sometimes, an idea makes its way into Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain. Other times, the idea stays in my notes where it can breathe, mature, and m...

“So, in short: you now have an LLM running on your machine, and any website you visit can make use of it, and whatever processing resources it requires.”

The definitive piece on Google participating in the web standards process “the way a bear participates in the ‘camping’ process.”,

How I use my phone

In my last two blog posts, I discussed how I use greyscale mode on my phone and night shift on my computer. These blog posts were inspired by discussions happening in the IndieWeb community about greyscale, and now, more generally, how we use our phones. My phone, an iPhone,...

Buckle Up

You might know that I – with the generous help from Brandon Kelly on the Craft 5 version – wrote and maintain a Webmention plugin for Craft CMS. Today, I shipped version 1.3.0. It’s a security and abuse hardening release, and if you’re running the plugin, you should upgrade....

✍️ New post: Buckle Up

I recently added a “Failed Webmentions” view to my Craft CMS #Webmention plugin. Opened it before #IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf and found line after line of automated probing. Just shipped v1.3.0 to deal with it and wrote a bit about it:

#Webmention for Craft v1.3.0 is out 🎉 – first in a short series of #security releases. 🔒

Fixes a stored XSS vulnerability in author/entry URLs, adds per-IP rate limits, and failure-backoff to harden the public endpoint against abuse.

Upgrade recommended!

May the Focus Be With You!

Last weekend at IndieWebCamp I noticed James had setup his iPhone in grayscale. I think I first saw that on Jeremy’s phone years ago. I remember trying it on my iPod Touch for a while, eventually switching back to see color photos. This morning while chatting with Jam...

Night shift

Writing my post on how I use my phone in grayscale yesterday got me thinking about other customisations I make to the computing devices I use. The first one that came to mind is that I keep my laptop, and by extension my external display when I am using it, in night shift mod...

Using greyscale

Back in 2023 I challenged myself to use my phone in greyscale mode for a week. The experiment was successful: a week later, I was still using my phone in greyscale mode. At some point afterwards, I did disable greyscale mode. But last year, or early this year (I can't remembe...
