28 Nov 2023 | original ↗

Also known as: why you shouldn’t trust a company who makes their product intensionally inaccessible with allowing you an accessibility workaround Update: I’ve been informed that hCaptcha now has a text captcha option. The bulk of this blog post still stands. Thanks to D Hamlin for the correction. Also thanks to T Spivey for pointing […]

Beware of Godaddy Premium Renewal Fees on Non-premium Domains!
27 Apr 2018 | original ↗

Hi all — long it has been since my last blog post! Well I’m here to rectify that now! So, on with the post.   For those who don’t know, I own several domains. I’ve always been one to pick a suitable standalone domain for a project, rather than make a subdomain of another domain. […]

A spam experiment: 1u.rs
15 Mar 2017 | original ↗

Dear all readers,   I happened to stumble upon a list of available 2-letter domain names in the .rs domain space, and figured I’d get one just for the fun of it. I ended up settling on 1u.rs, as it could stand for 1 URL: Really Short, and I had wanted to run a public […]

the case of the multiplying arguments (oh no!) in dokuwiki
15 Nov 2016 | original ↗

Once again, I’m back with a web application related post: This time, it’s dokuwiki. I didn’t notice it myself, perhaps because it only crops up under certain situations, but someone on my wiki told me when they saved a page, it showed up as wiki/pagedo=edit. This was strange, so I started investigating. I finally got […]

Fun Stuff to See!
13 Nov 2016 | original ↗

Today I’d like to let you know about a site my friend recently resurrected from the grave. It was once a site that someone put up with fun/funny/amusing things on it, but the site got sold or taken down or something. Anyway, about the time it was being taken down my friend mirrored it, and […]

the odd nginx http to https infinite redirect
29 Oct 2016 | original ↗

After a long, long time of inactivity, I’m back to publish a new post. Hopefully I will be publishing posts more often, depending on when I find things like this to share, anyway, here goes: I was setting up a site on my vps, and for some strange reason, the standard listen 80 block with […]

I will be discussing AppleVis, a website that provides accessibility news and ratings for Mac and iPhone apps and devices.   I will be critiquing their Twitter, where they post updates, […]

More Content Coming?

Hello all readers (do I actually have any of those anymore?), This is just a quick update that, hopefully soon, I will start using this blog as part of a class. This will mean, among other things, that I will hopefully be using it more often. So look out for that! Until next time, -Michael. […]
