In the past couple of months I've written 4 markdown parsers. I keep writing markdown parsers. Every time I work on a site I end up writing a markdown parser. Why are there no good markdown parsers? I've decided to write my own usable-everywhere markdown parser. Read more!! diaduck.xyz/blog/fgmd

Make things. They don't need to go viral, they don't need to be popular. Just making things is good enough, even if the things you're making aren't good - and they wont be. Read my write up of Sturgeon's Law and the imperfection of human creation below. diaduck.xyz/blog/on-maki...

The Imperial System gets a bad rap. Whilst it's bad in many ways you've heard before, nobody ever talks about the *good* parts of the system! Britain uses metric and says imperial out loud. I don't know how many yards are in a mile, the roads work anyway. Read below :) diaduck.xyz/blog/a-defen...

Have to say, hats off to the sun and moon for working together and doing an eclipse during the school holidays, a real great day’s free entertainment from the celestial bodies, there.

I saw the eclipse today! And i left extremely disappointed. But surely not *everybody* was wrong, surely this *was* a brilliant eclipse. Why didn't i view it this way?? As i had little else on this afternoon, i decided to research and find out. Here are my findings! diaduck.xyz/blog/2026-ec...

Hello Whisky enjoyers. Ever drank whisky and wondered where it comes from and how they make it?? Did you know that its barely changed since the 1800s??? Today I visited the only distillery in Scotland that oversees the entire process, from barley to bottle. Read along: diaduck.xyz/blog/springb...

I've started a blog! My first post is a heartfelt passionate ramble about why i've started a blog, and why the indie web is important. I dont expect anybody to read it, but I thought it makes sense to promote it here. If you're here, you might just like this kind of thing. diaduck.xyz/blog/whyweb

Nothing against Bramhall! It's unironically extremely beneficial for me! Thanks for answering.

Sorry, also, i've just noticed that the Manchester event is (supposedly) in a Church in the suburban stockport town of Bramhall? Lovely place, im sure, but definitely the odd one out in a group of 4 Waterstones'. @markcooperjones.bsky.social @jayforeman.bsky.social is *this* correct?

My amazon order says arriving October 23rd, but the manchester signing is October 22nd. I'm presuming that books will be available to buy there, should i cancel my preorder? Or will the Amazon order arrive before then?

going to retweet this over to bluesky to get the word out, thought it be toooo saucy for a main twitter post though :)

what a melt. no!!!!! dont just verify your age by uploading a selfie, or worse; an ID, to a third party usually american data broker!!!!!!!!!!!
if hmgov really wanted to do this, they should have set up their own system; domestic, local servers that we can vote over who controls.

i repeat. do NOT upload your ID to anywhere on the internet!! whats wrong with you!!! these are foreign companies, imagine our gov trying to tell an american company what to do...
"noooo please store this information securely and dont sell it nooooo"
get a grip of yourself.

Does anybody know if there's a way I can turn my wired keyboard into a wireless one with simply a receiver on both ends, bluetooth or 2.4GHz or otherwise? Picture for reference.
