An occasionally updated list of changes to my website, blog and articles. Could perhaps be useful to those learning HTML, CSS from scratch and constantly problem solving.
2021
AUGUST
- Super top secret family pizza recipe
- After long puzzling (this is self-congratulatory I must admit) at the phenomenon of being able to read only partial text, I wrote: Typography, typography and tpygoarhpy
- Added About this site
- Where Is My Flying Car — my review of J Storrs Hall’s book, as well as an attempt to articulate my feelings regarding the future and Gen Z’s general existential nihilism.
- Fiction: Plato.exe
- Fiction: #Lockdown
- At least a whole hour of head scratching as to why my drop caps occurred on the first paragraph on WebKit browsers, but on the date line on Chromium ones. Regressed to a messy hack of making my first paragraph < h3 > and styling it that way. The dateline derives its styling from the < p > tag, but my drop cap style was only p:first-of-type:first-letter: {}. ???
- Augustan propaganda in the Ara Pacis
- Classical Roman artwork and ideas of victory
- 2021’s predictions
- Roman attitudes to conquest
- Letters to a young contrarian, responded to by a young contrarian

JULY
