What’s going on, Internet? What did you do to your website today?

I finally decided to upload my recent work on Cosy Diner.

Outlinks page style has been updated from its barebones html. It also has a custom font for the titles that I got from dafont.com (the name is Modern Neon, if anyone is curious). Also new button for the site :clap:

There’s now an Art Gallery page linked in Misc that I still need to upload images to, so stay tuned for that.

Overall, proud of what I accomplished so far even if it’s not too ambitious.

I’ve gotten a lot of crayons to add to Compact Crayons (and by a lot, I mean about 4 in the past few days, which feels like a lot to me). So I added those.

After postponing repeatedly, I finally upgraded my little gamedev wiki and gave it a fresh color scheme with dark mode for a change. Quite proud of the results there to be honest!

Got rid of the last vestiges of social media links and Google font embeds on one of my sites, and moved it to my home server. Three sites moved so far and ten ish to go, although most of the rest will be more complicated alas.

I ended up getting both an Atom and RSS feed setup for my blog. It took a bit more work than I’d like to admit to implement, but the site should automatically update them when I post.

During last week I decided to ditch my Vue.js backend completely. Because of that I could remove a lot of dependencies which is cool. I created a console command to upload images, which reduces resolution for the website, and I manage my content locally now. All I need to do is rsync everything in the end to publish new content and I have everything backed up locally as well. Due to using markdown files I can manage my content with an Obsidian vault now. Although I now can’t update my content on mobile, I really like this approach and the implementation was a lot of fun.

I rewrote my blog page and learned how to use the Open Graph Protocol! I also finally purged JS off my site, though I’m sure it will make a return eventually. When it does, I want to implement it in ways where my site will be functional without it.

I’ve been reworking the 16x16 icons on my Resources page, because I’ve been wanting to make them better for a while. Up until recently, they were just in a single PNG you had to copy and paste. Now, I’ve got three new collections that have individual PNGs in a single zip file, and I’m slowly getting rid of the uglier color schemes in favor of newer, more cohesive ones.

I implemented octothorpes. Super neat idea IMO.

I changed the scale on my waffle recipe from a slider to a radio, and added a radio for choice of leavening.

It wasn’t obvious the slider was interactive.

I honestly don’t mind certain bots crawling the site, so long as they identify themselves properly. In the last week, the site’s been having a problem with bots using cloaked UAs and wasting CPU cycles with repeated requests to different pages. A firewall can only do so much after the fact, so I’ve been working on a filter at the router level that’s meant to detect cloaked UAs at request and serve them 403s.

…There have been some false positives, but they’ve just made the filter stronger. Today is the first day where there seem to have been none (so far). Since deployment, the more egregious offenders seem to have taken the hint and FTFO’d.

I’ve been trying for some time to modify the template in my WordPress theme to yellow highlight around my blurb at the top of the page, but the damned theme is very complicated and I couldn’t figure out what need to change. Nothing worked correctly.

So this morning I removed the PHP call to the “description” and hard-coded the part I wanted…

HTML/CSS FTW.
