       An SVG is an image.It is also executable code.If you wished to make an SVG open, would you choose a Creative Commons licence or an Open Software licence?

       Brilliant news! The UK's Labour Government are going to make "plug in solar" legal.Grab some panels from Lidl, hang them off your balcony or out your window, plug them in to your mains. Done!https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-to-go-further-and-faster-in-becoming-energy-secure#Solar

       🆕 blog! “I'm OK being left behind, thanks!”Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable."You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered.That struck me as a bizarre sentiment.…👀 Read more: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/03/im-ok-being-left-behind-thanks/⸻#AI #crypto #future #technology

       I've been writing about NFC and QR codes for over a decade. So I have a question for you.Since the start of 2026, which have you done more - scanned a QR code or used NFC on your phone (excluding tap-to-pay)?If you regularly use NFC, please reply and tell me what you use it for. Thanks!https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2011/03/the-problem-with-rfid/

       I can strongly recommend turning off CSS on your website.It's a great way to find out what crufty bits of HTML need updating.As they say "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked."

       This is perfectly valid PHP.If your programming language doesn't support emoji, it is going to be left behind.https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/04/where-you-can-and-cant-use-emoji-in-php/

       Nerdsnipe time.What was the first work of fiction to feature the World Wide Web?I don't mean some 1950's sci-fi with pan-Earth info system. I mean a story with a character literally visiting "www. something" on a computer.Any ideas?

       So far, about 20 minutes of continual thunder in #München.Spent about 15 minutes of it walking back to our hotel - utterly sodden. Which is both a relief and utterly terrifying 😂

       🆕 blog! “This blog is written in en-GB”Someone left a comment on my blog recently asking if I'd mind making my language more inclusive. They didn't get some of the cultural references I'd used and suggested it would be easier if I used tropes which were more globally known.Here's the thing. No.All my blog posts start with a simple declaration:<!doctype html><html…👀 Read more: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/07/this-blog-is-written-in-en-gb/⸻#blogging #English #language

       @Gargron yup. Needs a smart meter which can take 30 minute readings.
