Qubyte Codes

An example of a more pragmatic approach to image uploads, for example, is the mastodon API.

I get why microformats documents came to look like this.

I love the #indieweb, but the aforementioned micropub thing isn't the only friction.

One pain in the ass thing about micropub is that there's no way to send photos and content together in a single request and include alt text.

Photos never do a sunset justice, but this was a magnificent one.

<p>Yes!

Recently I had a problem where I had to find the first matching element of an array by type.

When working with type systems like TypeScript or Sorbet, type narrowing patterns are a way to handle different types a variable may contain in different branches.

I may have a problem.

This is a test of link (bookmarks really) syndication to mastodon using a link to the GitHub Actions workflow used to do the syndication.

I'm vain, so I have one domain for my personal site, and another for shortlinks.

I (a neckbeard) particularly like the bit on real life hackers at the time: "And fucking hell, they were so boring.

This time last year I put together some custom scripts to send a record of each study session to my personal site using the micropub endpoint.

A good long read on being a human in a web awash with bots and ML generated content.

I've run out of time to publish it this year (still 2022 here for almost an hour), but I have a full year of language study sessions (special micropub posts with durations in) to crunch the numbers for.

Another syndication test.

I’m testing syndication of notes from my personal site to mastodon, so here’s a photo of an icicle.

Figuring out bits of indie web interconnectivity is fun for folk like me, but if we want broader adoption then there needs to be a spectrum of tools for all which aren't a huge time sink.

I went to ffconf 2022 a couple of weeks ago, and two of the talks in particular resonated with me...

GitHub sent me a one-time donation as part of their thank you to OS contributors to software GitHub uses (who have their sponsors dashboard set up).

With twitter announcing a long-form writing feature, it's time (it seems to be time at least daily) to remind folk that there's a better, far more creative way.

I enjoyed this read.

This cat is attempting to be adopted by us and is in no way subtle about it.

I live so close to this countryside, but rarely take time to visit.

多読(たどく) time!

I started a new role recently, and the company is large enough that there are a number of folk learning or proficient in Japanese as a second language.

I bought the keycaps.

Bookmarking these so I can find them later.

I'm using Safari for personal use these days.

I finally caved in and ordered myself parts for an ortholinear keyboard.

Markdown is the standard for writing in techie circles these days, but it's pretty minimal.

I guess the reason for rolling my own webmention receiver is that I don't want to rely on services I don't manage or pay for.

Chris Coyier pitches RSS as a sort of slow social networking.

This afternoon I'm playing with webmentions again.

A bridge being built close to where I live.

I found an old picture of me holding peanuts.
