On “I put pixels in their place” hiatus. Recovering front-end web developer. You might find me in the garden or staring at a bird.

Weird content styleguide question: do you provide yourself rules on which <hx> level heading is title-case, sentence-case, etc? or is that just me?

There was an unplanned snafu with the form and I didn't get the additional people added, I'm so sorry!

If you would still like to be added, you can message me here, or if you are an omg.lol member and on discourse.lol add your info to the WeblogPoMo post, or find me in the omg.lol Discord.

Catching up on ShopTalk Show episodes today and can't wait to get the answer to "is taking a Drupal job in 2024 a good idea".

💖 I have done nothing of value today, and that is okay.

My status.lol entries are going to be fewer and far between because status.log no longer works on my phone.

Now that I have iPadOS 17 on my iPad and Sonoma on my Mac, I am back to the fact that this makes Noto Emoji not appear in Safari 17. To be clear, Noto Emoji works fine in iOS 16 Safari on my iPhone and worked fine in Safari 17 on Ventura. This is fairly annoying.

🛌 I'm going to bed at 9pm because there's no fucking AI in my bed.

I haven't had much energy since I came inside from yard work, I'm actually in a pretty bad pre-crash state, but I'm all of sudden all worked up over the bullshit AI that is now enabled by default for all new Micro.blog users. Fucking hell.

☕ I think I need two French presses today.

Hmm, well, I need to find a better way to get the card image on my @3x5 posts. So far not satisfied with how it is going: a) Mastodon drops OG images after a week; b) the OG preview isn't consistent; c) pulling the image from the content means the text would also be there and I don't know that I want that? but that is my next test case.

@nhoizey hey! I see you requested to follow me on one of my other accounts, and that is totally fine! I just want to be sure it is the account you intended. Sorry to make things difficult, I may have four Mastodon accounts 🫤 and the one you requested is mostly birds and gardening (which is awesome!) but this one is mainly web and front-end and wanted to let you know!

The plural of "echo" can be either "echoes" or "echos" but only one of them looks right to me.

Cooking bacon specifically to get a picture for the Micro.blog photo challenge today; I'm nothing if not dedicated.

New little project: I have an idea for a blog posting month thing in May. I might have already alluded tot his with a recent set of questions, and though I particularly want to include folks from omg.lol and those using weblog.lol (the name goes with this) anyone can participate.

I'll be creating a one-pager with some info, it'll be informal and participation will be loose, but maybe we can use a hashtag. More to come!

📝 What I've learned about CSS color-scheme and friends. (https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2024/04/what-ive-learned-about-css-color-scheme-and-system-color)

CSS color-scheme tells the browser what scheme a website supports, ensuring proper contrast with elements and controls between light and dark color schemes, and a whole lot more.

If you've been involved with or organized a writing/blogging challenge, especially a month-long challenge, and one that is adhering to a topic, what advice do you have?

  • If you were part of the topic making decision, how did you choose the topic?
  • What type of topics have you found most successful and challenging at the same time?
  • Finally, have you found keeping the group small to help with the writing?

Considering a "back to top" on my weblog. Not a floating one though, I think just at the bottom of articles or listings.

@kev I love your initials mark/logotype! Of course combining the K and Q but also, and I'm positive this was intentional, it evokes a watch face and you love watches! Good stuff, did you design it?

I appreciate this, but at the same time I recognize that personal sites can contain very personal information (in content) and with the way the landscape of public repos and AI is evolving, as well as general exploitation, I am still hesitant to make mine public.

I was just lamenting the public requirement the other day for automated Micro.blog backups, so this was top of mind when I saw this toot. If it was just code, I would be less hesitant, but it isn't.
