I\u2019ll undoubtedly spend more time on my website next year; perhaps I\u2019ll unveil a new design and publish those posts.</p><p>One project that did ship, and in the space of a few hours, was <a href=\"https://classnames.paulrobertlloyd.com/\">Classnames</a>. Unfortunately it got picked up by Hacker News where the uninformed yet highly opinionated displayed their typical levels of ignorance (my second appearance this year, I must be doing something wrong). Besides that, I enjoyed <a href=\"https://paulrobertlloyd.com/2023/272/a1/classnames/\">the challenge of a one-day build</a> and having \u2018finished\u2019 a side project.</p><p>Towards the end of the year, and with one eye on completing Section <abbr title=\"three\">III</abbr>, I rebuilt <a href=\"https://bradshaws.guide/\">Bradshaw\u2019s Guide</a>. Untouched in 5 years, this turned out to be an exercise in discovering how much the web has progressed, with numerous hacks and workarounds able to be removed.</p><p>Indeed, I\u2019ve spent the last few months refactoring side projects to use <a href=\"https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_components\">web components</a>. I\u2019ve never been more excited by a web technology since learning about CSS and web standards at the turn of the century. While others choose to market bullshit \u2018upgrades\u2019 like web3, <abbr title=\"original gangster\">OG</abbr> Web 1.0 \u2013 iterated and improved over 30 years \u2013 continues to be a brilliantly performant, resilient, accessible and expressive toolset you can use to build delightfully digital things with if treated with respect.</p><p>Proven technologies were easily lost in a year when attention focused on artificial intelligence (emphasis on \u2018artificial\u2019). With lines drawn between artists and technologists, I find myself increasingly on the side of the former, somewhat resentful that the materials and products of my profession are continually co-opted by charlatans who wield them to ill effect.</p><p>I like to think back to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 and the pride I felt seeing fellow creatives elevate the national mood, with Tim Berners-Lee\u2019s invention being celebrated, not bemoaned. Near that same spot a decade later, art and technology are again being combined to bring ABBA to the stage and entertain people in breathtaking technicolour.</p><p>That\u2019s how I intend to go in to the New Year, avoiding illusionary and artificially inflated distractions and instead seeking out proven technologies and tools that allow me to be creative; maybe spending more time behind a lens than before a screen and exploring a world beyond pixels and code.</p><p>I said much the same last year.</p><p>Reply via email</p>",

I did however scratch a long festering itch by proposing a set of icons to represent the different IndieWeb building blocks, which seemed to go down well with the community.Distractions included rebuilding my website using Lume, a static site generator built on Deno. As that rebuild languished, I ported a few improvements and changes over to the current site, one of which I wrote about, others not making it beyond the drafts folder. I\u2019ll undoubtedly spend more time on my website next year; perhaps I\u2019ll unveil a new design and publish those posts.One project that did ship, and in the space of a few hours, was Classnames. Unfortunately it got picked up by Hacker News where the uninformed yet highly opinionated displayed their typical levels of ignorance (my second appearance this year, I must be doing something wrong). Besides that, I enjoyed the challenge of a one-day build and having \u2018finished\u2019 a side project.Towards the end of the year, and with one eye on completing Section III, I rebuilt Bradshaw\u2019s Guide. Untouched in 5 years, this turned out to be an exercise in discovering how much the web has progressed, with numerous hacks and workarounds able to be removed.Indeed, I\u2019ve spent the last few months refactoring side projects to use web components. I\u2019ve never been more excited by a web technology since learning about CSS and web standards at the turn of the century. While others choose to market bullshit \u2018upgrades\u2019 like web3, OG Web 1.0 \u2013 iterated and improved over 30 years \u2013 continues to be a brilliantly performant, resilient, accessible and expressive toolset you can use to build delightfully digital things with if treated with respect.Proven technologies were easily lost in a year when attention focused on artificial intelligence (emphasis on \u2018artificial\u2019). With lines drawn between artists and technologists, I find myself increasingly on the side of the former, somewhat resentful that the materials and products of my profession are continually co-opted by charlatans who wield them to ill effect.I like to think back to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 and the pride I felt seeing fellow creatives elevate the national mood, with Tim Berners-Lee\u2019s invention being celebrated, not bemoaned. Near that same spot a decade later, art and technology are again being combined to bring ABBA to the stage and entertain people in breathtaking technicolour.That\u2019s how I intend to go in to the New Year, avoiding illusionary and artificially inflated distractions and instead seeking out proven technologies and tools that allow me to be creative; maybe spending more time behind a lens than before a screen and exploring a world beyond pixels and code.I said much the same last year.Reply via email"
