  • JavaScript for the ages

    Thanks to a post by Jeremy Keith, I came across this post by Remy Sharp on the changing web and framework fatigue.

  • NearlyFreeSpeech.Net

    This site is hosted on NearlyFreeSpeech.net. I've been using them since 2006 and I couldn't recommend their service highly enough. They are essentially a pay as you go service, where you pay for what you use. This makes them incredibly cheap for low use sites like mine. This site costs me less than $1 a month in hosting charges.

  • Privacy - how GDPR is meant to work

    Finally a company that has got rid of all non-essential cookies and therefore does not need to annoy it's users with annoying privacy popups, often purposefully designed to confuse you into choosing the least private option. Well done to GitHub for removing all non-essential cookies and getting rid of privacy popups.

  • Eleventy, webmentions and my new site

    It's finally done. I migrated my site from WordPress to a static site generated by eleventy. I've also managed to get webmentions working of a sort. Many thanks for all the great help available on the internet. I list here some sites I found especially helpful, but of course there are many others who gave me a nudge in the right direction.

  • Introducing the ROBIN Stack

  • Welcome Back

    Welcome to the fourth redesign of my personal website. I've been working on my own personal website since about 1998. In that time it has had four designs, which roughly follow the evolution of the web.

  • Five coping strategies

    Here's a nice post on coping strategies: https://thepilcrow.net/five-coping-strategies-backed-by-science/

  • Power

    Those who want power do not deserve it.
    And those who deserve power do not want it.

    ...

    Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.

  • Equality, Equity, Fairness

    Two images I like which illustrate beautifully fairness, equality and equity.

    Equality and Equity

    Image showing that equality is three people of different height, each standing on a box to look over a fence at a baseball match. But for the shortest it is not enough. Then it shows that equity is the tallest giving his box to the shortest, who now has two boxes to stand on. Now all three can see over the fence.

    Fair and Equal

    Image showing jungle animals, including a monkey, bird, elephant, fish and hyena, standing in front of an exam invigilator. The invigilator says "For a fair selection everybody has to take the same exam: please climb that tree".
