Craft 5 introduces entry-based Matrix fields, but being able to see the entries created this way is surprisingly tricky. Thankfully, it can be done!

Probably not, but I'm definitely caught in a web. Web traffic interests me, it turns up weird stuff. I don't get many pageviews, but largely they originate in other countries, with pretty strange …

Notes from the fully remote React Summit 2020 (or at least the talks I tuned in for). Lots covered, from static-site generators and the Jamstack through to React state management and accessibility. What a fun day!

The search page is live, the index is populated, but it all looked a bit rubbish and it didn't quite work as well as I wanted. Now it's using custom-styled components, queries are tracked/stored via the URL for persistence, and you can filter results based on category.

Customising HTML lists often means sacrificing standard browser typesetting bonuses, like hanging indents. But with a little bit of modern CSS, you can get them back again, whilst still getting to use custom counters – like emoji 🚀

Another month, another big and fully remote JavaScript conference. JSNation fit into my schedule a little less (and didn't quite overlap with my interests as neatly) but it was a fun event with some interesting talks on topics that are often only on my periphery. Much to think about!

A look at the largely manual workflow I've used to convert my physical music collection into a digital data archive.

I continue to be impressed by the commitment Krystal – my web host – shows towards green computing. Their recent milestone of planting a million trees also highlighted a really cool charity: Ecologi.

The tale of my (possibly brief) foray into the world of tech reviews and market influencers.

After a month on the Fediverse, what parts have I grown to love, which parts would I like to see changed, and what has surprised me the most.

Wattenberger frequently breaks my brain with some of their incredibly well-reasoned and unique ideas, and this talk from AI Engineer Summit is no exception. The core ideas being introduced are around …

Specifically, the 6th (and 7th) of August, 2023; the day we tied the proverbial knot.

A look back over the twelve months that made up 2023, via the lens of the data captured about my life.

Migrating content between fields in Craft is not as simple as it might be. In the wake of Craft 5, I've been getting a lot of practice, and wanted to write up some of the techniques I've been using.

Netlify suspended my site, due to a sudden resource spike on a completely separate domain. Now, for the first time in five years, you're reading this on infrastructure that Netlify does not own.
