[Old] Dave Rupert ☛ Getting started with View Transitions on multi-page apps - daverupert.com
Spurred by last week’s ShopTalk I rolled out View Transitions here on my static Jekyll site. I hadn’t realized View Transitions for multi-page apps (MPAs) and static sites are ready for testing behind a flag in Chrome 113+. View Transitions for MPAs are a feature that’s high on my CSS wishlist, so I got to it. It took less than an hour to do, requires zero JavaScript, and two lines of CSS. I’m pleased with the results.

James G ☛ Designing lists of inputs with HTML and CSS
While designing the quiz, I used two HTML elements I have not yet used: fieldset and legend. You can use fieldset to group multiple inputs together. It is ideal for grouping radio buttons or checkboxes that all relate to the same question. legend lets you specify a label for the fieldset.

University of Toronto ☛ The HTTP status codes of responses from about 21 hours of traffic to here
You may have heard that there are a lot of crawlers out there these days, many of them apparently harvesting training data for LLMs. Recently I've been getting more strict about access to this blog, so for my own interest I'm going to show statistics on what HTTP status codes all of the requests to here got in the past roughly 21 hours and a bit. I think this is about typical, although there may be more blocked things than usual.
