Uploading about 1200Mb of QuirksMode pages to my new hosting provider. It's not all, oh no it's not, but it should be enough for a few tests.

Wow, posting on Facebook isn't easy. I want to post something in a group, I even have the moderator's permission, but I have no fucking clue how to do it. I thought there would be a nice, friendly textarea like on Masto or Bsky or the network we don't mention, but no ...

... and found a really old address ppkwdf, which I created in, I think, 1998, to receive a mailing list on. Oh the memories! Unfortunately the mails are gone now.

I'm keeping Trickerion and Anachrony! Definitely! Love them.

Lacerda ... I've owned them for ages and we never play them, except for Kanban.

Stacks and stacks of board games, and if you think I’m going to list the all you’re out of your mind.

Stacks and stacks of board games, and if you think I’m going to list the all you’re out of your mind.

One of my problems is that I have too many board games. 99% of what you see is going to go, the ones I’m keeping are mostly nog on this photo.

I certainly did not register quirksmode.org through TransIP. It was in 2003 and I've forgotten. Google Thingy? Is that possible?

What the FUCK is Key Systems and why do they hold quirksmode.org?

Before transferring a domain from Cloudflare you have to apparently 'ublock' it. Does anyone know how to do that? The instructions on the help pages don't work; my Manage Domains page does not show the quirksmode.org domain that's associated with my account.

My current theory why people ignore grid is that, from the start of the web, we've grown used to sizing all our individual elements. That was necessary in table-based layouts, in float-based layouts, and in flexbox layouts. But grid layouts don't need that. That makes grid the odd outlier.

Glass and ceramic art objects on a shelf.

Glass and ceramic art objects on a shelf.

I again placed and lighted some art from my mother’s collection I inherited.

It was only after I left the shop that I realised the eSIM reader in my phone must have stopped working this night.

So I guess I'll go to the Apple Store and see if I get a new one.

Weird vignette story ends.

Anyway, they give me a regular SIM card and I'm back online.

I go to the store, and the guy starts resetting it and then says "You've got an Asian iPhone - one that doesn't support eSIM."

Interesting. They found a new 8th century chronicle, christian but not Byzantine, from Syria/Palestine, documenting among other things the rise of the Caliphate.

Four art pieces, one glass and three ceramics, on a shelf, with reasonable lighting.

Getting somewhere with my house-re-decorating: I can now properly place and light these four pieces from my art collection I inherited from my mother.

Home. One painting fell off the wall while I was gone. Miraculously, nothing's damaged.

Manuel MatuzoviΔ‡ (@matuzo@front-end.social) I've met so many people already and the conference hasn't even started. 😍 #sotb

Were even mostly the same people.

And I broke my personal record: home door closed to sit down at gate 50 minutes. Was 55.

Then let's meet in the hotel bar. My suspicion is there may be other people we know as well.

Will be heading to London for #sotb in about half an hour. ETA in hotel: 6:15-6:45pm. If anyone's available to grab dinner with, all the better.

CSS Day 2026, 11th & 12th of June, Amsterdam CSS Day is the conference for CSS designers, developers, spec writers, and browser vendors.

At 100 attendees! And the best part of the conference is the people you meet, the community you're steeped in. (Or words to that effect.)

Nah, I'll wait until after the next unrelated job.
