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.

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 ...

Every week, BBC Scotland publishes a collection of photos as part of a Your pictures of Scotland series. Readers are invited to submit photos of anywhere in Scotland. The series has opened my eyes to all of the landscapes across the country. From morning frost over the hills ...
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...
Played a very good sounding and good looking gig with Forkalyst at the Sojus7 in Monheim last Saturday.
🎬 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.
Ten years ago today I coined the shorthand “js;dr” for “JavaScript required; Didn’t Read”* https://tantek.com/2015/069/t1/js-dr-javascript-required-deadin reference to (primarily content) pages that were empty (or nearly so) without scripts.Since then js;dr found its way into...

Setting up your own GoToSocial instance
Up until now I had a Mastodon account on mastodon.social that I created in 2017. If you, as I do, want to own all your content IndieWeb-style, ideally it should live under a domain I own and control.

That left me with three options. I could either integrate all the...
@Kilian It is also a lot more convenient than Chrome's local override feature and it would go hand-in-hand with Polypane's ability to disable CSP and CORS checks (for which I also needed separate extension, which are now also broken with Manifest V3)
@Kilian I do have a feature wish for Polypane:
Would it be possible to re-implement what the Chrome/FF extension "Resource Override" offered in the past, being that you could define URL patterns for website resources, which you could then remap to another URL or a local file e.g. https://polypane.app/**/*.js -> http://localhost:3000/**/*.js
I use that a lot to develop frontend-code, applying + checking it with the live-site, w/o having to run it via Docker locally.

Hey Ihr beiden! Gerade erreichte mich seitens @spittank folgende Frage zu meinem Post zur Verbesserung von "Find-in-Page" wie im vorherigen Toot verlinkt:
"Sehr spannender Ansatz!
Mich würde interessieren, wie gut das in der Praxis für Screenreader Nutzer funktioniert. Wenn ich damit teste fühle ich mich immer komplett überfordert."
Wie ist Eure Meinung zu "Find-in-Page" generell und zur Idee, Icon-Links oder Icon-Buttons per `hidden="until-found"` auffindbar zu machen?

Yet Another Webmention Test

Hey Rotterdam! Next week, March 4th, @fronteers teams up with Level Level to host a meetup. There will be talks about accessibility barriers in e-commerce & how embracing the web platform's native strengths is key to a solid design system. And there's still plenty of seats left! 👇
