Photos of “New Adventures in Web Design” from 2011
I started to download all my photos from Flickr and re-upload them on my own website.
This is the first album I created and it is from New Adventures in Web Design, hosted by Simon Collison on 20 January 2011, nearly 15 years ago from today.
Enjoy the memories the photos might bring back to you!

Set My Music Free
A couple of days ago I noticed that 22 years before that, I had complained that one of two gizmos had proved a total bust. The Griffin iTrip was designed to transmit music from an iPod to a nearby FM receiver. I’m sure it worked, somewhere, but here in Rome there simply was ...
Hetzner login problems, solved
This post is for future frustrated me, though if it can help someone else, that's wonderful.
Somehow when I tried to access my new Hetzner service from my laptop I got myself in a terrible muddle. Despite a lot of song and dance with ssh-keygen and all that that entails, H...
