Owning my own bookmarks over 20 years When I worked as a respiratory therapist part of my responsibilities was to keep flowsheets for the mechanical ventilators I worked on. That’s a record of what the machine was doing with a time log. And when I gave a breathing treatment to an asthma patient I recorded the details of that treatment, the time,...

Extracting CSS Colors from Screenshots of Web Pages I’ve talked a lot about the headers on this site over the years. It’s one of my favorite long-term projects. One thing that I’ve considered over the years is making associated styling for the footer of the site or other parts based on colors in them. Try 1: parse HTML for colors The first thing...

Anyone remember Mix Tapes? Cassette tapes are making a resurgence. Today I made a Cassette tape in CSS plus a little JavaScript to get the sprockets to turn and the magnetic tape to move from one side to the other. It’s in #codePen so you’re free to inspect the code and make your own. Link in bio. #CSS #Animation #Art

Modernizing 2004 web design to 2024 I’ve been having a blast with updating all of my blog headers. CSS Battle continues to influence my thinking about how things look. How little code can I use to accomplish a result? Code Golf? There’s an old tv show called Name That Tune and contestants would “bid” on how many notes of a song...

It’s not possible to visually see that these are multiple page comics. The solution was to create thumbnails which represent the multipage nature of the comics. To that end...

Foursquare / Swarm to my own site, #indieweb style I’ve been adding more “stuff” from my life to this website. I use services like Instagram, Flickr, Mastodon, Foursquare, Facebook, StackOverflow, GitHub which have public-facing components. In the spirit of the #indieweb PESOS I got the notion to import my over-a-decade worth of Foursquare and Swarm checkins to my site. I don’t have a particular...

Programming graphics on the TI-99/4a Back in 2019 I wrote about programming in TI-BASIC a little bit. I remembered going from graph paper to hex but the mechanics of drawing to the screen was not something I remembered. I did remember it was pretty tedious. But rewarding! Well, the other day I was inspired to create a chunk of code...

I can never remember the name of GitPrime which is now Pluralsight Flow I worked for a startup a few years ago and one of the tools that company used to measure developer productivity was GitPrime. The tool tied into the primary code repository in GitHub and made reports on the work done. It measured commits by size and pattern. It was fairly intelligent about attempting to create...
