Colour
This is my entry for this month’s IndieWeb Carnival. The topic is colour.
I think a lot about colour.
I used to wear Hawaiian shirts almost every day. I like the colours, I thought to myself. Especially on a grey morning, colour makes all the difference. The colours made me...
A wooden love heart and a pot of flowers
The Guardian has a series where they ask a question and collate a few of the responses. A recent prompt caught my eye: “have you found anything unexpected when you moved into your new home?”. When I read this prompt, I got to writing. My response is below. I submitted it to T...
We’re in England. Two days ago we met Jasper and he took us on a walk along the Seven Sisters cliffs between Eastbourne and Brighton. It was great meeting in person and talk, take photos and getting rained on. And while I’m only hoarding negatives, he has photos posted to his blog.
the beer website
As preparation for the practical exams, our last task at school was a project over which we had almost complete control. The only thing that was set was a brand name and general values, as well as the product they make. That product was beer.

Retext Markdown Editor: Code Block Syntax Highlighting Bug
Fixed a syntax highlighting bug in ReText with guidance from genAI. Learned Git basics, made a pull request, and got merged.
This #weeknotes cover Python sentinel values (spoiler: avoid them unless necessary), IndieWeb integration with django-indieweb, and setting up a new M4 Mac Studio for local model testing. Plus: the perils of switching to US keyboard layout.

New blog post: Managing Editable Dependencies in uv 📝
If you're developing multiple Python packages that depend on each other, this might help!
Shows how to:
- Keep editable installs working with uv sync
- Avoid committing local paths to git
- Automate the workflow with pre-commit
🎬 12 Angry Men
Pretty perfect movie, if you ask me. The 12 more or less angry men are all so good. The whole concept of only talking about a murder case after the trial, surfacing ever more details and eliciting more of the jurors characters, was so good. Suspenseful and entertaining. A timeless classic.
🎬 The Blob
This was more high-quality than I expected beforehand. Great story, great acting, great visuals, some good humour, and above all: great special effects. Those kills were really fun and well done. My favourite was the whole action in and around the restaurant. When The Blob gets bigger and bigger towards the end, the effect quality sadly suffers quite a bit, and the end itself lacked a little something. But overall, it's been a very entertaining evening!

Best Free Synthesizer Plugins in 2025
I am convinced that it makes total sense to spend a certain amount of your (spare) time on this planet tinkering around and exploring stuff that seems totally useless or silly compared to what you normally do. And without having a real explanation for why it happened, I’ve b...
Tumblr-ing
I now have a website on Tumblr.
When I write, I usually have a direction in mind: a point I want to make. Today, however, I find that I instead have the feeling of discovery without yet having the exact words to describe what I want to say. Perhaps if I write a few words I w...

Why is it that Chrome is the only browser that ignores inputmode="none" on inputs?
I want inputs in freshly opened <dialog> elements to not trigger the soft keyboard right away on (auto)focus, but instead when the user signals that they want to enter something, e.g. by a tap on it.
Safari works ✅
Firefox on Android works ✅
Samsung Internet works ✅
Chrome shows the soft keyboard ❌
☹️
Do I really have to inject a dummy element with tabindex="0" before the first input for it to catch focus?
Interestingly, inputmode="none" seems to work here, when dynamically applied: https://codepen.io/mustaqahmed/full/gOYxLaL

Well, this one is as bad as the last two you heard put together.
