tkr: Reflecting on my first hobby software project

It was spring and I was inspired. It had been a long time since I’d felt inspired. Decades. But the creativity and joy I’d found on the personal web had roused some long-dormant impulse. I got into all this computer stuff as a hobby and used to spend

Build the web you want to see

My website, James’ Coffee Blog, is now over five years old. I seldom thought about how old my website was until recently, when I looked and realised that years had passed since the single black-and-white HTML page that comprised my site. “Hyperlinks are my friend,” I said, in a playful
