”I like to say that I was a garlic smuggler for the mafia, which I was, but there’s more to the story than that.”

@ehasbrouck@urbanists.social reflects on his time in a federal penitentiary, where the kinds of cooking Italian maximum security inmates get up to would have been completely unthinkable.

I have been thinking about hand-writing and websites in the background for a little while. I made a hand-written font using Calligraphr a few months ago. I enjoyed making this font, but haven't used it for a web project yet. Here's what it looks like: While making the font...

An Orchid!

There was considerable excitement out on the terrace a couple of days ago, because The Squeeze had noticed two very definite flower spikes emerging from a plant that has mostly just sat there for the past couple of years. At first glance I thought it might possibly be Chinch...

How very pleasant. Today’s quest was just to the side of what some people cite as the jewel of the Renaissance architecture, Bramante’s Tempietto. I couldn’t get any closer today, though I have been inside on other occasions.

Webspace Invaders

A couple of weeks back, I’m sitting at my desk when a direct message from my frontend friend Kevin Powell pops up. Kevin’s a genuinely kind guy. He makes CSS videos on YouTube and he’s got this way of explaining things that never makes you feel stupid for not knowing them al...

Sandwich Questionnaire

I love sandwiches. Earlier today I was thinking about how you can eat a sandwich at any time of the day. I have eaten sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I saw Zachary’s “Sandwich Questionnaire“, I thought I have to respond to this! I have been thinking about ...

Why I love my favourite words

Every so often, I use the word delightful in conversation. That is delightful! I try not to use “delightful” too often, but I do like to bring it into a discussion every now and again. It is one of my favourite words. The word delightful, like the word awe, makes me feel a ...

Design and missing categories

Ever since I moved to using Ghost as the tool for publishing my blog posts [1], I have forgotten to add categories to some of my blog posts. My old system had a few if statements that would automatically select a category. If none of the rules triggered and I did not choose ...

Noticing

Last weekend, I went to the National Gallery of Scotland. This time, I started my trip on the bottom floor where all the Scottish art is on display. A few minutes after entering the gallery, I was captivated by paintings of Nature and of Edinburgh. I noticed that one wall wa...

Clouds

I have been waking up with anticipation every morning recently. I say “good morning, world”, and then anxiously peek through the edge of the curtains. I hope for the blue sky. This last week has been rainy and grey. I tried to understand why but the meteorology went over my...

Debug mode

One of the areas of the Artemis codebase that I update the most is the logic that relates to the list of posts published by authors to which a user is subscribed. Because Artemis works with so many different formats of information – web feeds like RSS or h-feed, Mastodon pos...

Staging banners

When I run the Artemis codebase, one of the first things it does is look for an environment variable that indicates what “environment” the application is running in. There are two modes: development and production. If no mode is specified, development mode is set by default....
