Timeline

Figured out why my RSS feed wasn't including any of the actual images from my blog. The fix requires completely changing how I handle images and manually going back and fixing all of my old posts. Yay! Web dev is so much fun, you guys!

Sometimes I worry that I won’t have anything to talk about in therapy, and then I have a day like today :)

Two charcoal drawings of a man on a yellow-tinted sketchbook page

Went to a life drawing class for the first time in over a decade. I forgot how challenging it is to capture anything from a 2- or 3- minute pose, but it is so nice to spend 2 hours drawing and come away with pages and pages of work.

Every so often I find myself scrolling through Twitter/X and damn, what a cesspool. But also, so many people are still hanging out? I wish social media wasn’t so gross these days.

v 7.0.1

A few months have gone by, so obviously it was time to redesign my entire website. This version is way more simple and also slightly more complicated than the last. I did end up removing all semblance of connectivity — for now, at least, this place has no comments or likes, doesn't receive or send webmentions, and has really never heard of the indieweb.

That may come back in the future. Actually, comments and likes should definitely come back soon, but we'll see if I ever bother with webmentions again.

Buglog

I hate that I have to keep track of my own bugs that I created on my own website 🤦🏻

  • [Panel] Creating new note does not automatically set title & url anymore (thanks, Kirby 4!)
  • Need to make sure that ul and ol blocks after a paragraph get some padding
  • Really just in general, lists could get a little visual polish
  • Maybe add some kind of highlight or something for <pre> and <code> blocks
  • The social link/icons shouldn't have any padding or margin on the left
  • I had wanted to add some animation to the hover color change as well
  • Maybe the blog links on the homepage should look the same as the links on the rest of the site (text color, accent underline)
  • lol wtf is <figure> doing
  • .left-content should get a bit of padding on the right so text doesn't ever hit the line
  • No formatting in the about page bio? There should be formatting in the about page bio
  • The <title> appears to always be the site title
  • Should throw in some cache-busting, at least for the stylesheet. Which btw is also called new.css for some reason?

Update September 5, 2024

Squashed most of the bugs. Only found one more:

  • Books in the bookshelf sidebar aren't all the same size (and are too small anyway)

Do you ever think about how Musky Elmo basically killed the chances of “to tweet” ever genuinely entering the English language as a real life verb

Watching the sunset is one thing that always helps me remember that a bad moment, a bad minute or a bad hour doesn’t make a bad day, and a bad day doesn’t make a bad week, and a bad week doesn’t make a bad life. Everything is temporary, especially the shit moments. The bad day ends. A new day, a better day, is right around the corner.

In other news, Zeus turned 5 this week! Happy birthday to my son, my best friend, my ever-enthusiastic walking partner. Please stop barking so much. But also, please never change.
