👗 dress.css v5 is out! 🎉
My minimal baseline for semantic HTML — the “little dress” your markup can slip into when it needs to look slick without trying too hard.
Version 5 “Blouson” is slimmer, more modern, and easier to customise.

I’m starting to doubt migrating from Middleman to Astro was a good decision. It’s incredible how many workarounds I have to add in Astro just to make it to what I want to do. Many of them I would never have time to do if I wasn’t using Codex.

Binge watching “Invasion” (2021) on Apple TV. Loving it.
As for Apple TV: no land filler content, no increase in monthly fees, top notch series.
I must say, I’m starting to like Apple TV a lot more and it makes me feel better about having cancelled Netflix months ago.

Work: No, write your goals today.

Work: No, we just want to stay with Java 7 and jQuery forever.

FYI specifying the current directory with `./` is unnecessary 95% of the cases:
❌ rm ./file
⭕️ rm file
❌ rm ./file

The flag of the Philippines during peace time has blue on top and red at the bottom when horizontal, but blue on the left side and red on the right when vertical. The colour stripes are swapped during wartime.
There’s your vexillology fact du jour.

Meta is killing their Facebook Like button for external sites in February 2026. Good riddance. Why are there still blogs out there still using it? When’s the last time you ever bothered clicking on one? They’re just UX and visual pollution at this point.

My thoughts on Liquid Glass and the 2020s design at Apple:
Liquid Glass will fade away like brushed metal did in Apple UIs of the 2000s.
It works well as a “statement piece” of a few UI elements in an app. Anything more is overused and distracting.

Hey I have my PR now. This place is kinda stuck 20 years into the past. I like new things. If you’re looking for someone with ~30 yrs of experience in web dev, and your company has something interesting to offer (like remote work), hit me up. remino.net

My dad is ambivalent about me being trans.
But hey, we both hate Harry Potter.
Once I called him and he went on a rant for half an hour about being too much Harry Potter on TV.
Years ago, my dad famously tossed a ladder over a garage. I made this edit for him.
A win’s a win!

I’m updating my dress.css stylesheet and I noticed that somewhere between Chromium v136 and v141, the font rendering got changed *just enough* to bother my Playwright tests.

Bluesky now has their Instagram: Flashes.
- Their app starts with a blurry non-Retina logo screen. Weird.
- They’re not making clear you just need to log in with your BlueSky account, not make a new one.
- It’s just a viewer of any image you posted on Bluesky, not a separate profile.

Apple shared a gallery of Liquid Glass used in various apps. Cool. Yet it shows that Liquid Glass is nice but only as a “statement piece” of a UI, like special typography used in headings but not the body text. developer.apple.com/design/new-d...

One food tradition I could do away with in Japan is getting snacks from colleagues after a trip.
I don’t like food waste, but the only way to respect myself while not hurting people’s feelings and explaining my habits is to accept the snack and immediately toss it in the trash.
