hello, world!
this week zippers came over and stayed a lil while, an exceptionally good time. i cooked a sort of lebanese sort of chili. it was nice and with lamb and green lentils. we went to work and ate it at the yellow sofa. we tried to go to an exhibition but we wandered around barbican instead and it was very nice. on the way home i got coughed and spluttered on by strangers. the next day i started to feel a little under the weather so went home early and worked from there.
it feels so nice to surprise somebody by taking work off their plate.
the convalescence continues, iām still a little sicky now, havenāt been out much this weekend except meal deal shopping at the local āØMeal Deal MerchantāØ.
you may have noticed notice iāve rewritten the code that runs my blog. sorry to alice if iāve broken my rss feed again. i probably have. iāve put a silly amount of work into making it that old posts are rendered using the old css and javascript, so they look the same and keep working. itās great. especially how they still work when theyāre in a list.
iāve also written my own pagination function so that the past is previous to
the future. it surprised me that itās not the default for chronological content,
i looked around to see if anyone else has ever thought much about it. i found a
post from a decade ago by chris
coyier.
he points out another cool detail:
The benefits of this is that creating new content doesnāt shift the entire pagination structure. Next week after five more articles are published, the āOlder Postsā button just goes to ā321ā instead of ā320ā. That means that all incoming links and bookmarks are preserved, and search engines will find the same content at the same URLs forever.
so now my page does that, too. because thatās cool!
itās nice when you throw something together with stuff you have in the fridge and it just turns out to be so fancy. today some leftovers meant a greek yoghurt omelette with parsley, muchroom, smoked salmon and cream cheese.
itās fun to have fun.
iāve also made this new https://quietparty.net/ website. and i have started working on a littlebook-adjacent app. itās lookin good. collaborative, docks, filetypes. all the same thing but from scratch with my solid lib. getting further faster this time.
okay iām hungry now for dinner, so letās have dinner. hope iām well enough tomorrow to work
was hoping to make a little music for this post because i want to show off my new button, but i am not feeling particularly musical today and keep making complete trash. instead iāve included my least popular (c/o spotify) track off my most popular (and only!) release of last year.
