The Timeless Way of Building

The book for this month’s IndieWeb Book Club, hosted by Nick, is Christopher Alexander’s book The Timeless Way of Building. The book is about architecture, but its principles have broader application to any discipline involved with building something. The idea of a “patter...

Landscape by Moonlight

Whenever I visit an art gallery, there is inevitably a painting that sparks joy, or otherwise leaves me with an impression that sticks with me. Peter Paul Rubens’ Landscape by Moonlight was one such painting. The painting depicts a landscape at night time. The ground and th...

Library memories

One of the ideas Frances shared when we exchanged blog post titles was to write about a memory from a library. While the prompt “Sparking joy” is the one I ended up writing about, as soon as I started to think about library memories a few ideas came to mind. One memory in pa...

Space

Two years ago, I visited Greenwich in London. I had been to London before, but Greenwich was that bit further out so I hadn’t made the trip. What drew me to Greenwich was the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian line. The day I visited, I had great joy standing over the ...

Ideas for managing post volume in web readers

As I subscribe to more web feeds, I am starting to think about whether there are features that a “calm” web reader should have that are designed specifically for managing the number of posts in one’s reader. I recently introduced Artemis roll-up to “roll up” a week’s posts ...

Blossom

When I write about nature, I sometimes go to my archives and search for what phenomena I am thinking about. I was looking at my previous posts on blossom and saw that I last wrote about the topic on the 5th of April, 2025. I started my post with “One of my favourite times of...

Sparking joy

I am trading blog post titles with Frances. Frances wrote Where art exists in my life. I will be writing “Sparking joy”. On the top right corner of my bedroom whiteboard, written in orange pen – one of my favourite colours! – reads: Have a great day xxx Whenever I read this...

Starting; playing; maintaining

I think back to how I used to think about how my finger tips would hurt if I learned to play the guitar. I was right: my fingers do get a bit sore. But with practice playing for longer gets easier. I am so glad I started to play. I have been continuing to learn new Taylor S...

Rewriting

This weekend I started work on rewriting the static site generator that I use for this website, Aurora. I was looking over the codebase and wondered if I could make the code a bit more efficient and easier to understand. I had ideas for new abstractions – things I could do t...

Do we think Xena Warrior Princess can fix the year 2038 problem for us, just like she canonically saved us from Y2K?

I’m resurrecting my post from this day in 2021 because the question it asks still requires some sort of answer.

“damninteresting its core, is about how Lysenko’s fake science, intended to demonstrate the superiority of Marxist theory, was responsible for the death by starvation not only of Nikolai Vavilov but also of uncountable millions of Russians.

“Does a photo faked to show Vavilov in the card index of a library not undermine that intent?”

Found My Way Back to Compass

I am extremely happy and satisfied to have got Compass up and running on Hetzner. It was by no means plain sailing, so this is a trail of breadcrumbs for anyone who needs to follow me, like myself at some point in the future when I break it all. I’m going to skip most of the...

A fitting rabbit for the Ides of March, the Pope’s Tobacco Factory[2]. I did walk past much closer to the actual Rabbit, but could not pass up the opportunity to snap what might such a significant building.
