Software maintenance
In my last blog post, I noted:
With regard to sustainability [of Artemis], there are several considerations: infrastructure and its associated costs, the time required to maintain the software, responding to user requests and inquiries, and more.
This had me thinking about ho...
Why Artemis is invite-only
When someone goes to the Artemis sign up page, a message is presented asking users to ask me for an invite code. While Artemis has been public for almost a year now, the software is still invite-only. I occasionally share the invite code in blog posts, but, despite that, I st...
Designing an A-Z navigation web component
Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, has an Authors page that lists all of the websites to which you are subscribed. The list is presented in alphabetical order, with a heading for each letter in the alphabet to aid in navigation. There is a search feature, too.
I follow...
Morning moonlight
When I first looked out the window this morning, I first noticed the faint pink colour on the horizon. The sun rises later in winter, so I can see more of the morning colours. Then, for a moment I had no words as I saw the moon – bright, full – in the sky, contrasting in grea...

jkphl-moin-und-ein-gutes-neues
@jkphl Moin und ein gutes neues Jahr noch! Ich wollte Dich vorwarnen, dass ich meinen Spotify-Account zum 15.1. gekündigt habe, da ich mit dem ganzen Content, den sie neben Musik und Hörbüchern in die App kippen nicht mehr zufrieden bin. Dein Account, der an meinem Family-Abo hängt, wird also am 15.1. auf das Free-Level runterfallen.
Ich schaue gerade nach Alternativen. Wenn da wieder ein Platz im Family-Abo frei ist denke ich an Dich. :)

I checked my Strava: Year in Sport 2025 after I did my last run on the 31st, and it felt a bit light. When I checked my saved images/videos from last year’s Strava Year in Sport, it was clear they had dropped several things from 2024 to 2025.First, here’s updated instructions...

Personal and community web search engines
Ever since I made the first version of IndieWeb Search, a search engine that let you search personal websites, I have been thinking about the idea of “community search engines.”
A community search engine indexes materials related to a specific community. The information sour...
Turn a list into a web feed
A while ago I made HTML Element of the Day, a site that selects a HTML element every day to be designated the “HTML element of the day.”
When I built this project, I decided that I wanted to offer both a web page and a web feed to which people could subscribe. Rather than b...

New Year; New Site; New Finger
One never steps into the same river twice. The natural world is dynamic. The molecules in our human bodies–presumably you’re a human being if you are reading this–get replaced. I suppose that’s a “Ship of Theseus” thing. Anyway, this website you’re reading this on, or the feed you’re reading it on, is continually changing. And...

2026 goals I’ve heard:* Dry January — avoid alcohol* Meatless January — avoid meatIf you have a personal website, how about also:* No Socials January — avoid #socialMedia silosNo posting on social media, just for a month (not counting DMs).Instead, since you have your own website, post there, and see how that feels.If you don’t have a personal website, make it your goal for the month to set one up.

The new year
Watching as condensation drips from the window panes – the inside being so warm, and the outdoors being almost freezing – I notice the pink sky which signals that, soon, the sun will set. My first instinct when seeing the pink sky – the colour of the sky only intensifying as ...
