Funny. I have this item on my to-do list: Write a proposal for a focustrap attribute.
A few months of doing nothing later, and it can already be tested in Chromium! With a better name and many more options than I had in mind. This will make thousands of mediocre implementations obsolete, incl. mine.

Today is the grand reopening of the Spire. My first visit ended in glorious … defeat?! #AnotherRunBitesTheDust #SlaytheSpire2 #Godot

Thinky Dailies Season 2 is up:

Monstrous Hunter Karnok

The artwork for the new @playthebazaar.bsky.social hero Karnok looks phenomenal. I mean, the Bazaar had fantastic art right from the start. But hunter items are just more interesting than the last additions of engines and food. #HypedForRageMode

Titanium Court - Official Announcement Trailer YouTube video by GameTrailers

Ah, exactly my kind of trailer: weird & charming. And there’s a demo too. #SomethingForTheWeekend

Aka: Bist du über 45? Kreuze an:
☐ Ja
☐ Nein

Ein komplett schwarzer Berliner, mit einem Ruhrpott-Sticker oben drauf

Ich präsentiere: den vielleicht hässlichsten #Berliner der Welt! Ich nehme an, der soll aussehen wie ein Stück Kohle. Aber warum sollte man sich dieses verkohlte Etwas in den Mund schieben?
(Dies ist das 1. Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich etwas gekauft habe, weil ich es außergewöhnlich hässlich fand.)

Morgen, am Do, den 12.02., trifft sich die DUG Ruhr wieder online. Um 19:30 Uhr, unter meet.drupal.de/dugruhr

Geplante Themen:
* Andreas: Web Components vs. SDCs
* Tobias: CSS-Trick
* Karsten: schema.org
* Karsten: Web Share API
* Nicolai: Lazy Content Rendering

EXIT 8 - Official Trailer - In Theaters April 10 YouTube video by NEON

Oh look, it’s the best movie trailer I’ve seen this year.
(Wait, based on a video game? Hmm, missed that one.)

Hmm. Flexbox came first. I have many sites/projects with an older layout. They work fine with Flexbox. There is no need to switch to Grid.
For newer projects, I use both. However, I am not surprised that Flexbox is still more widely used.

Doing Performance Tests with content-visibility: auto.
Great: I save 20-40% of rendering time with little effort. Then again: Saving 50ms in rendering time against a total of 2600ms might only be interesting to performance nerds.
Of course, results will differ on other sites.

Mein erstes #Drupal Global Contribution Weekend läuft äußerst produktiv. Ich habe einen Blogpost vorbereitet (»Notizen zur Organisation eines DrupalCamps«). Und einen ersten Entwurf für unsere DUG Site gebastelt. Nebenbei mit CSS Snap herumgespielt. Und mir interessante Tools notiert. #nice

Shoutbox | DrupalCamp Ruhr 2025

Hmm. I’ve used this last year here: drupalcamp.ruhr/en/shoutbox
Mainly because I used this site to test some new features. Does it look good? Well, no. But I am ok with giving this a shot.

In diesem Jahr sind wir als DUG auch beim Global Contribution Weekend dabei. Wir treffen uns an diesem Sa/So im Unperfekthaus in Essen. Aktuell sind wir eine kleine Gruppe von vier Leuten. Wer sich anschließen möchte, findet hier weitere Infos:

A drop, in an ocean of code. Grows a community. Weathers an armageddon. A symfony sounds, zombifies the Seven. Ripe, the drop splits in two.

It’s quite impossible to limit 25 years of #Drupal to a mere #Drupal25Words. However, I think I at least managed to add a hint of poetry. Happy Birthday, #Drupal25!

First week of 2026. And I decided on my personal best/worst video games, movies, comics etc. from last year.

The Top 10 Indie Games / Roguelikes of 2025 YouTube video by Olexa

Here’s a list of interesting #indie videogames of 2025.

I just saw the new movie adaptation of »The Long Walk« by Richard Bachman (Stephen King). And while the movie is decent for a long time, they had the idiotic idea to change the ending?! What a waste of a terrific story. Final verdict, as so often: Ignore the movie, read the novel!

That one annoying CSS question The Nerd Quiz for the last DrupalCamp Ruhr featured one unintentionally hard CSS question. Can you find the correct answer?

I finally have time to finish a few blog posts that have been lying around on my computer for quite some time now. Here is a mini CSS quiz for frontend developers. #waylaterposted #css #quiz

Puh, that Zombie game in »Alice in Borderland« season 3 is hard to watch. They could have easily won that game. What a braindead script.

The boss »First Sinner« in the videogame »Hollow Knight: Silksong«

Still rampaging through some optional content in Pharloom. For my taste / skill, the First Sinner is around 15% too fast to be fun. And I hate it when I have to chase the boss around. Ok, done, next. #Silksong

Morgen, um 19:30 Uhr, trifft sich die DUG Ruhr online.

Unsere Themen:

- Single-Directory Components – Theorie und Praxis / Nicolai & Jan
- Batch-API / Tobias
