Svelte is a JavaScript framework that has continued to intrigue me. Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the browser, Svelte shifts that work into a compile step that happens when you build your app. An interesting prospect. If I […]
Allow me introduce a fun project that I’ve had on the back burner for a while. A couple of weeks ago I redesigned my website, again. During ideation I collated backups and pieced together assets to recreate my old websites. Earlier versions existed before I used source control so I had to salvage parts from […]
I’m a bit late to the party but I added a dark mode toggle to my website. My new design launched this week and it defaults to light mode. The thing is, I’m not convinced the implementation in web browsers is ideal. Dark mode is usually my software default. In macOS and Android I have it […]

Pi-hole is the first install of my self-hosted adventure. The […]
Today my main computer is a Mac Mini 2018. Quite likely the last Mac I’ll buy for day-to-day work. I’d like it to last a little longer than previous ones. Following Apple’s ARM chip announcement I have my doubts about future support. Here’s my office setup: I was a dual-monitor person for years. That changed […]
Mute Swan is a progressive web app I’ve been coding for my own amusement. It’s a playground for me to mess around with experimental web standards. Also to remind myself to buy milk. I’ve recently implemented hidden Dropbox backup and sync functionality. With that in place I decided that my grocery list was of […]
