  2. May origami fold

    I spent this afternoon with some lovely people folding origami and chatting. This month’s fold was a modular design called a cyclone. We also made a spinner while waiting for our teriyaki chicken lunch to arrive.

  4. AAA – An accessibly audit

    I was supposed to take the day off today. Instead I put my #GADD money where my mouth is and spent a couple of hours running an initial accessibility audit on my website using the Sa11y bookmarklet https://sa11y.netlify.app #accessibility #a11y

  6. Joining the gang at Homebrew Website Club Europe/London

    Spending the evening hanging out with the welcoming and curious folks at #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club Europe/London https://events.indieweb.org/2024/05/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-HJs8USwnq2Ie. Lots of demos of recent website updates and projects. I got some useful clarification on the difference between cross-posting and syndication. We went down the webmention and micropub rabbit hole. I’ve come away even more excited and confident about what I’m doing. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!

  7. Screen printing with Gary Parselle

    I had a really fun afternoon at Gary Parselle’s free screen printing workshop at the ABYSS Taproom in Lewes. Huge thanks to Gary of Brighton-based studio The Private Press https://www.theprivatepress.org/ for being so generous with their time and materials. I love my prints!

  8. I got webmentions working!

    OMFG!!! I can finally say I’ve got #webmentions working on my #11ty website! I’ve tried loads of different tutorials but @chrisburnell@repc.co’s article https://chrisburnell.com/article/webmention-eleventy-setup/ and eleventy-cache-webmentions plugin https://chrisburnell.com/eleventy-cache-webmentions/ finally got me over the line. Thanks Chris! Now to ditch IFTTT and it’s shortened URLs and figure out POSSE auto-posting and write some ABSOLUTE BANGERS!!! // @henry@front-end.social

  9. Watching the #11tyConf

    Really stoked to hear more about #11ty and POSSE on the #IndieWeb in Henry Desroches’s talk. Streaming live of YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxJ6PtuF9M

  10. Tooltip: set your external monitor as main display #mac

    Do you use an external monitor as your main display with your Mac? Ever get tired of turning your neck to read notifications or other dialog windows on your laptop screen? Here’s how to fix that. Got to System Preferences » Displays » Arrange. You should see two rectangles that reflect the position of your screens, one has a light grey bar at the top. Drag the light grey bar from the laptop to the display.
