    Women In Theory
    My dear wife, Kathryn Farley, just woke me this Friday the 20th from a nap with something that she said was amazing.

    Keep your Obsidian vault downloaded with iOS 18
    Syncing Obsidian over iCloud is a lot less painful now that iOS 18 is out. I can individually set folders in iCloud to stay downloaded, and setting this on the Obsidian folder had great results: Obsidian now takes 15.11s to become interactive on a cold open with no community plugins.

    Summer Ride to the North Sea Beach of Zandvoort
    Today marks the last day of summer—at least, in the Netherlands, where we follow the astronomical calendar to define seasonal changes. I recently discovered – much to my surprise – that other cultures observe this differently. Naturally, this also depends …

The result from the journey was a set of custom elements that provide extra functionality and information about the text being typed into a password input field. I shared my CodePen demo in a Mastodon post and soon after decided to …
