  1. 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

  5. Children’s day

    Happy Children's Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no hi) to all you grown up children. Get those carp windsocks (鯉のぼり, Koinobori) flying and make yourself or children a folded paper samurai helmet (兜, 冑, Kabuto) https://tavinsorigami.com/origami-kabuto/.

  6. The first next step

    Yesterday I gifted two hours of my time to the Lewes Library of Things (LLOT) https://www.leweslibraryofthings.org.uk/. LLOT is a community project that provides access to equipment on a loan basis free of charge irrespective of their financial circumstances. It also flips the consumer model of many people owning many things, to one thing being used by many people. I’m really excited to be getting involved in the sustainable and regenerative economy space, however small it may be.

  7. I voted

    I voted. Voting stations are open late this evening. Find your nearest voting station here https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/your-election-information. You don’t need your polling card but do need photo ID. GO VOTE!

  8. Export these settings

    You know what I’d really like to see more of with software that have a huge list of settings and customisations? An option to ‘export these settings’ as a json file. Rarely do I make the time to document my setup successes, I’m far more focused on doing the task at hand. The number of times I’ve had to figure things out again from scratch. This would make it much easier.

  9. On my way to UX Camp Brighton

    Up bright and early and en route to Brighton for this year’s UX Camp Brighton https://www.uxcampbrighton.org. I’m volunteering and on the socials all day. I’m also live-blooping on Mastodon. #UXBC
