Dopplr colours

Last year I was introduced to the idea of “Dopplr colours” in the IndieWeb community. This refers to an accent colour assigned to cities on the now-defunct travel website Dopplr. You can see examples by clicking through different Dopplr city pages in the Internet Archive and...

Pens, sleeves, and whiteboards

When I was in high school, I used to keep a pencil or pen up my sleeve. I don’t remember anyone else doing it, or why I started. But if I had a pen up my sleeve, I would at least know I had one nearby for when I’d need one. (I may be mis-remembering whether having a pen up m...

Brainstorming search engine ranking introspection

Search is one of my favourite disciplines in computing. In 2024 I spent a lot of time working on a NoSQL engine that I called JameSQL. This tool now powers the search engine on my website. Designing search engine ranking systems is tricky to say the least. When I use my blo...

Preserving calm in software over time

When I announced Artemis in 2024, I titled the announcement “Artemis, a calm web reader, is available (in beta)”. So central to the philosophy of how I build the software is the principle “calm” that, when I write about Artemis, I still use the phrase “a calm web reader” to ...

Artemis “via”

Recently, a feed a few users – including myself – were following with Artemis published a “bookmark”-like post. The markup in the corresponding feed was a bit different than expected, so Artemis ended up linking directly to the bookmarked post rather than to the author’s pos...

Artemis dense layout

This evening I added an idea I have had for a while to Artemis: a "dense" layout. By default, the Artemis interface appears in a single-column layout. The dense layout creates several columns. Each column from left-to-right shows posts for a given day. You can scroll down t...

The IndieWeb community chat has a feature that lets you create a wiki page from a chat interaction. You can say “what is {term}?” in the chat and, if there is a definition on the community wiki, the definition will be returned by a bot. Otherwise, the bot, Loqi, will say tha...

“To the greater glory of god”

I’m not really a theist. Like, there’s no fella with a beard. That dude is only in single panel cartoons. But I vibe with the notion of humility before the universe. One can’t help but know that there are forces greater than oneself. If you’ve been a debtor you know this. If you’ve been to...
