  • John Gruber on Annoying Sharing Bars

    Over on Daring Fireball, John Gruber has some true words to say about those pesky floating sharing bars (or “dickbars” like he calls them) used by Medium and others. A website should not fight the browser. Let the browser provide the chrome, and simply provide the content. Web developers know this is right — these…

  • Switched to a VPS, again

    During the years, my blog hosting has gone back and forth between a self-configured VPS and shared hosting.

I certainly have no complaints: the site has been fast, setup was easy…

  • Microsoft’s Role in WannaCry

    Sam Biddle wrote for the Intercept on the recent WannaCry malware disaster. According to Sam, it’s not possible to name a single culprit for what happened, but militarism and greed are the two main forces at play here.  This bit stood out to me: Microsoft also did not create WannaCry.
