    Monsters and wonders inside our machines
    Nicolas Nova left us a few days ago. I, and many many others, will miss his wit, his generosity, his intelligence. Here’s a review of the last book he sent me. I was planning to publish it on Monday, but it’s only now that i’ve accepted that he’ll never get to reading it…. Persistance du merveilleux : le petit peuple de nos machines, by anthropologist, design researcher and writer Nicolas …

    xdg-settings: Setting a default browser isn't that simple
    What is xdg-settings? xdg-settings is part of the xdg-utils and according to its manpage it can query, check for and set different properties of an XDG-desktop. Running xdg-settings --list reveals that it only ever got implementations for setting the default web browser and for setting URL-scheme handlers (which is the more generic case of setting a default web browser). The reason I started looking into this is because someone opened …

    UDL is is an ideologicaly-driven sham
    Universal Design for Learning (UDL) claims to be revolutionary but it is an ideologically-driven sham. It does far more harm than good. Folding in some of the worst learning theory into one 'my way or the highway' approach, it literally makes no sense.

We’ve been through a boom, we’re going through some pretty serious consolidation. Did we learn anything, and if so, what? To this end, I’ve come up with a short list …

    Some Retrobatch Droplet Tips
    Dr. Drang and Allison Sheridan have some great tips for adding Retrobatch droplets to the Finder toolbar: Allison Sheridan: My main use of Retrobatch is to make featured images for blog posts that match what most if not all of the social media services will recognize. That droplet thing is money. I keep mine in the toolbar of Finder though since I always have a Finder window open when I’ve …

    At the Match: Bexhill United v Eastbourne United AFC
    There are days when you think: why, exactly, am I here? If that question is on your mind at half time at a football match then you know it’s probably not going exactly the way you want it to go. One of those I shook hands with prior to the game was on his way […]

    Day in the life of an autistic CEO
    Alright, simmer down, I know I’m not really a “CEO” because I don’t have a board of directors or a c-suite or anything like that, but “day in the life of an autistic freelance web developer turned LTD company managing director” as a title was just ridiculous.
