My name is Robert and I am an Apple System Operator and Evangelist at a university in the middle of Germany. My tasks there include the procurement, administration and configuration of Apple hardware as well as supporting students and lecturers in the use of Apple products. After a considerable hiatus, I’ve returned to the world of website creation in 2023, with a particular focus on implementing designs using HTML, CSS, and a touch of JavaScript. This page serves as a form of documentation, where I showcase techniques to internalize them and have a reference for future use.

However, I prefer to communicate by email.

For the most part, it worked quite well, but Apple has been nagging me for a few days to update my Home network. So today I set up an unused 12-inch iPad Pro in place of the mini. Now I'm looking for ideas on what…

Last year I asked myself whether I should include a link preview or not. At that time, I was thinking of a solution to place the preview in tooltips. However, as this would add unnecessary clutter to the site and users of mobile devices would have little or nothing to gain from it, I implemented a different approach. As I want to have control over…
