Sometimes one idea begets another. In the case of Crossover I had the idea while building DoubleShift but I was too far in to change it. DoubleShift also now has some fun additional features like leaderboards which only make sense for that site. Crossover, unlike DoubleShift, isn … | Continue reading
I have watched Scrubs more times than I can count and I am currently re-watching Grey's Anatomy for the third (maybe fourth?) time. I noticed there are a lot of actors who have appeared in both and it seemed like it was every other episode. After some data-wrangling I have an act … | Continue reading
Now my new site design is done, I've been able to take some time to add features I've wanted for a while. In this case, I want to show popular pages based on pageviews at the end of blog posts, on the search page, and on the 404 page. Fetching Pageviews I use Fathom for analytics … | Continue reading
Recently someone emailed me to ask how I was doing SVGs on my website because they'd looked in the source but it wasn't obvious how it actually rendered the SVG so I figured I would do a proper post about it. Here is their email: I'm looking to steal more ideas from you and foun … | Continue reading
Today, I attended a casual no-official-name hackathon. Just a bunch of people working on silly projects. It did have a theme though: silly interfaces. I spent the first hour before I arrived thinking of a few ideas until I thought of the perfect thing: a Mastodon client but it's … | Continue reading
Two weeks ago when Hemispheric Views 097 released and people started putting up their default app posts Jason said this in the HV Discord: take a hike /now. It's all about /default now I decided to quickly throw a site together to collect all these (at the time eight) blog posts … | Continue reading
In episode 028 of Hemispheric Views Andrew mentioned the Johnny Decimal (JD) system for organising files. I made a note of it as a thing to look into. Then, like a lot of things, I never went back to investigate. Then in episode 096 they had Mr Johnny Decimal himself on to talk a … | Continue reading
Earlier this week I had a need to manually find a bunch of people's RSS feed links. It seemed simple enough: go to their website and look for an RSS/Subscribe link but I was surprised to find that a lot of people don't have a link anywhere to their feed. Even if people only ever … | Continue reading

Our St Jude sub-campaign raised $12,590.57 and sent out 106 sticker packs to 15 different countries. This is a far cry from my initial goal of $250 … | Continue reading

tl;dr: You can't set full screen artwork without being featured by Apple. In iOS17, the Apple Podcasts app has (for some shows) fancy new full screen artwork but I noticed that my shows don't. After some hunting around, some tooting, and messaging John, I came across this page th … | Continue reading
Late last year I moved Ruminate from Simplecast to it's own site built with Eleventy for a two reasons: I wanted full control over how the site looked Simplecast is $15 a month and that's a lot for a show that makes no money Since then, I've successfully used that same Eleventy s … | Continue reading
