Snow
I wondered if it would snow again this season. The weather has been persistently cloudy, but there has been little snow. Today, the weather changed. Just as I was about to go out for a walk, it started snowing heavily. It has been months since I have seen the snow like I did...
Adding multiple h-feeds to the same web page
I maintain a web page that lists notes from IndieWeb events. Entries are added to the page when notes from meet-ups are archived to the community wiki.
This web page contains several h-feeds. h-feed is the microformats markup that says that the tagged area represents a feed...
Proust's questionnaire
I saw Proust’s questionnaire on James' Blog and I thought I should try it out.
Funnily enough I got Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" as audiobook CDs for my birthday, because I thought it was funny that there was actually an audiobook. It's 7 days long, btw.

What I associate with my name
Ava and I are trading blog post titles. The topic Ava chose for me to write about was “What I associate with my name”.
When I was young, I remember distinctly looking through a kids’ encyclopaedia and finding “James” written in there a few times [1]. I don’t know why that m...

Proust’s questionnaire
Zachary’s website introduced me to “Proust’s questionnaire”, a series of questions by Marcel Proust. I thought it would be fun to try and respond to them!
I am writing this blog post as the snow falls outside. I wasn’t expecting snow today, but here it is. Some of the most ...
A sandwich questionnaire, part two
Ruben, after responding to the sandwich questionnaire that Zachary blogged about, added a few more questions. When I saw the blog post, I thought: these questions are exactly what I need today. Below I have responded to the delightfully-named “second helping” questions that ...

The inverted index pattern
In “Build a search index in Python”, I walked through how to create a search index using the “inverted index” structure. This structure is commonly used in document search.
This week I was thinking about “inverting” data is more broadly applicable in software engineering th...
Designing for inactive users: Account check-ins and deletion
Artemis has been open for registration with an invite code for over a year. In that time, many people have signed up. With that said, not everyone who signs up will end up using their account. This is par for the course with software. Signing up for an account doesn’t mean s...
Redesigning the Artemis account deletion back-end
As I have been building Artemis, I have learned that the account deletion flow requires constant review. For example, whenever I add a new database table, I need to make sure that table is in the account deletion flow. I may also need to create an index in the database so I ...
Notifying users of page updates
Some time in January, I was going through my browser tabs and came across an Artemis tab that had been opened a while ago. But it took me a moment to realise that the tab might be out of date. My eyes went first to the posts from authors to which I have subscribed, then to t...

Been a while since I went to La Jolla shores. A low key but enjoyable short session.
Brainstorming source code editing for web applications
Last year, I worked on a bookmarklet for editing pages on my website. When clicked, the bookmarklet would open the page in GitHub that corresponded with the page I was viewing. I used the bookmarklet so much I turned it into a browser extension, which I still use regularly t...
