Marcin WicharyI finally updated my homepage! It’s not really flashy in any way, but it has a lot of links to what I’ve done over the last years.
If you like my work, chances are you will find here something you enjoy.

Marcin WicharyI like scanning and putting up interlibrary stuff on Internet Archive.
This is the first one I got. Not sure yet if it’s going to help with the HTML bracket investigation, but maybe it’ll help someone else! https://archive.org/details/gca-standard-101-1983
Marcin WicharyBelieve it or not, I’m still figuring out where HTML got its angle brackets.
But despite grabbing a lot of interlibrary items, I am not sure I’m getting any closer. I still have some ideas, but one involves going to a museum in Maine, which might take a while.
However, good news (for someone?): There are now over 40 papers and books I scanned that deal with history of markup. Enjoy!

Marcin WicharyI say Don’t Allow all the time not because I think the app doesn’t deserve access, but because I have no idea why it’s asking to begin with! I just feels like noise, and bad UI storytelling.
Marcin WicharyA classic rule for these: show them after I invoked an action that lets me connect the permission to the intent, or explain the reason. Other dialogs like these are usually much better at this (for example: asking for permission to a Documents folder when I try to save a file). I am not sure why this one is so awful.
Marcin WicharyIt’s been over a year with these macOS pop-ups and I still have any idea why an app is asking, what should I say, what is the penalty for choosing Don’t Allow, etc. What a frustrating experience.
(Edit: I’m showing Chrome here but I am getting them for so many other apps without seemingly any rhyme or reason.)

Marcin WicharyIs this going to go anywhere? Unclear. But I like this part.

Marcin WicharyFired some interlibrary requests. Wish me luck!

Marcin WicharyThey are killing me. In the old article about the history of it that I just discovered, they are using… square brackets.

Marcin WicharyThis might be more interesting. <P1> and <P2>! <#> for styling! Excited to dig and learn more.
