Working with digital accessibility at work. Dealing with family, house, skiing, jogging, cycling or simply walking the rest of my time.

Allergic to overconfidence.

On this day in 1993, #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas by #TimBurton hit US cinemas! Critics and fans acclaimed it, with the question being - is it a #Halloween or a #Christmas film?

Not being able to right-click links is often a sign that search engines won't be able to use those links either (if there's no href URL, it usually can't be crawled). It's a simple way to check if a JS-based site is crawlable (not perfect, but fast & easy). #SEO
Web sites that open in a new tab with target=_blank don't particularly annoy me. I think it's OK for a site to be opinionated here.

What DOES annoys me is if don't realise they are going to use a new tab and I try with right click and get a new tab of "about:blank" cause of course links need JS 😡

Underline your links, folks.
Also please don't underline things that are not links. This one makes me very annoyed every time.

Hvilken skatt er dette, @venstre.no?

Dere lever av stemmer, ikke av klikk. Derfor bør dere ikke drive med clickbait.

I like Austria’s song, but I don’t want to know how they made him keep his boy soprano voice into his twenties. #eurovision #austria #esc2025

40% av IKT-studiene nevner universell utforming i programmene sine. Det er for dårlig!

Uu bør være obligatorisk i alle studier. Fremtidens utviklere må vite mer om hvem de utvikler for.

Studenter lærer for lite om å lage inkluderende løsninger for alle
Nye funn: Av 157 studieprogrammer i bygg, IKT, design og planfag, har bare 37 prosent universell utforming i læringsmålene.
