Photo: Robin
Published on under the Photo category.
Last weekend, I went out walking with my camera in hand. I was lucky enough to see a robin descend to a bush near to me. The robin stayed on the bush for what felt like a minute or two, almost as if they were posing for the camera. (I am delighted that the click sound my camera makes when I take a photo did not scare the bird away.)

Adding review support to Breakfast and Coffee
Published on under the IndieWeb category.
Breakfast and Coffee is a place to share information about breakfast and coffee shops you have visited, with a twist: where possible, contributions should come from personal websites rather than directly through the website editing interface. Breakfast and Coffee is a MediaWiki. This gives the site a lot of features like categories, a good page editor, and edit tracking out of the box. But, the site accepts Webmentions. When Breakfast and Coffee receives a webmention, it tries to create an entry on the wiki.

Beyond Tellerrand 2022
Published on under the Events category.
I attended my first Beyond Tellerrand conference in Berlin last week. I'll not bury the lede and go right out and say that I definitely want to attend another Beyond Tellerrand. The event was such an excellent experience, featuring inspiring and thought-provoking talks as well as an excellent community with whom I chatted about everything from technology to data to anything else that came to mind.

Berlin 2022 - More Photos
Published on under the Travel category.
I shared a few photos from my trip in Berlin on my notes blog yesterday. I realise I have a few more photos to share. I thought I would do that here so that they appear on my main blog (this one!) and in the feeds of all of those that subscribe to the blog.

Building an 'on this day' feature for my website
Published on under the IndieWeb category.
"on this day," in the context of the web, refers to a tool that lets you see what you have posted on a particular day over a previous time period, typically over years. I have been thinking about this idea since the IndieWebCamp Berlin event, after seeing David's personal website with a "this week" section. This section shows all of David's posts from a given week in the past.

I wrote an article for Sprudge
Published on under the Coffee category.
A few months ago, I reached out to Sprudge to see if they would be interested in an article on Edinburgh's coffee roasting scene. There are a plethora of high-quality roasters in the city and I wanted to spread the word about the great work they do. My article was published in Sprudge last week. In my piece, I talk about six coffee roasters located throughout the city and their place in the Edinburgh coffee scene.
