"Calling For the Moon" is the title-track of my 1st album. Originally an acoustic guitar thing, @tony_sherrard livened it up with his drums, bass and some knob-twiddling to give it a lilting 60s/70s vibe. I'll take credit for Japanese flute. https://soundcloud.com/thecruellestmonths/calling-the-moon

People often* ask me if I have a handy infographic explaining the difference between UI and UX.I don't, but I asked AI to generate one. Thanks, Adobe Firefly's response to the prompt "Infographic explaining the difference between UI and UX".

"An attempt by the Kyiv regime to attack a zone where civil infrastructure is located is a new terrorist act" says Russia, which has been bombing the shit of out of hospitals, dams, theatres and homes in Ukraine for hundreds of days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66094744

Of employers who forced staff back to the office, 42% said "attrition" was higher than normal, 21% said the move had actually lost them some of their "key" staff. 29% were now "struggling" to recruit altogether. Ha ha ha. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/29/wfh_rto_survey/

I just saw Michael J Fox at my local garden centre! At first I wasn't sure, but he had his back to the fuchsias.

I just watched John Wick 4. Its high-octane story of glamorous people with ever-shifting allegiances, fighting over arcane rules across exotic locations really made me nostalgic for my days when I was immersed in web standards.

I never know what to do when adding subheading titles to an article.
<h1>Stuart's Food Guide</h1>
<h2>or, Pies I Have Known</h2>
<h3>by Stuart</h3>

but then what do I use for titles for each of the sections? <h1>? <h2>? <h3>? maybe <h4>?

Anyway, now I do know, because @SteveFaulkner has written https://www.tpgi.com/subheadings-subtitles-alternative-titles-and-taglines-in-html/ which Explains All This and it's good.

Short answer:
<hgroup>
<h1>Stuart's Food Guide</h1>
<p>or, Pies I Have Known</p>
<p>by Stuart</p>
</hgroup>

<h2>Section 1: Meat</h2>

I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the Tory party are an inept bunch of immoral chancers who would ride roughshod over Parliamant and our own laws (the Parliament and laws they claim to see as 'sovereign'), lie and cheat just to stay in power.

random question, as i'm too lazy to research this properly ... but are there any nice bikes out there with the same design as these Eovolt ones (step-through, cargo bit over the backwheel) that are not electric? /cc @pete

When Russia started bombing Kyiv, Zelenskiyy quickly made a video showing he was still in the capital. So we can expect strongman Putin will imminently do the same, right?

Another day, another developer making inaccessible forms because 'CSS is hard". Why hire a web developer to develop your webs, when you can instead overpay a Fullsack JS Jizzer?

OMG an actual implementation of what is essentially font-size: fit-container! @kizu has https://kizu.dev/fit-to-width-text/ -- relies on CSS animation-timeline which is Blink-only right now (are there statements of support or not from Moz or Webkit anywhere?), and it's essentially a hack (but Roman explicitly says it'd be good to see this properly supported, which I like because I've wanted it for years). Clever bit of work! I still don't properly understand it, but it's great. /via @brucelawson

Just had a job interview. So, naturally, newly-installed Microsoft Teams crashed. Twice. I ended up using the browser version. Weirdly, "Microsoft Teams" is an anagram of "test of coma. Rims."

Happy Solstice from the ancient chalk horse and me! (Stonehenge is just too touristy for me to properly align my chakras with the Age of Aquarius these days.) Boomshanka!

Oh, Microsoft Teams, get in the fucking sea.
