I have switched to using IBM Plex Sans as my default sans-serif font on PC, Android phone and my websites, including leilukin.com, my tumbleblog and fanlisting collective.

I finished off a guestbook for my website. It runs on a tiny API and stores entries in markdown format which either get auto approved or flagged for approval depending on content I define.
Approved entries get committed back to the repo daily so I have a constant backup and timeline.
You can sign it if you like so it looks like I have some friends

Iāve further refined my recommendations page. I initially wasnāt going to use images, but I think it does create more visual separation between entries and is thus easier on the eyes. I also added more styling to each entry, to help better distinguish between the data itself and my thoughts. I think itās a big improvement!

I couldnāt sit still and added a new web page template to my site. Itās called Wintertime and takes inspiration from the weather we have these days. No big deal, but it nicely rounds out my design page, which was a secondary goal for me.

Updated a bunch of pages on my site:
- Added (and removed) some bunnies and fizzy drinks from the pixel clubs
- Added 2 new links to the Digital Museums section of the Fun Links page
- Updated 2025ās reading log in the Library with the last of Decemberās entries
- Added a new link to the shopping section on the Cats page and removed a couple dead links
- Have been adding new kitties in Kitty Friends pixel club since last update
- Most exciting is Iām getting back to the Godzilla Chronicles and have added a new entry!
As Iām updating pages, Iām also trying to go through them and make my html/css more legit. Iām surprised at some of the mistakes Iāve made yet the web browsers still render everything ok!

I recently imported all my data from letterboxd so it can live primarily on my website. Going forward Iām going to write new reviews on my own site, then copy them out to letterboxd, POSSE-style. Iāve made the individual components as āshortcodesā so I can embed a film review or a list of films in blog posts and other pages going forward, if I want.
I also added a button to the bottom of almost all pages that lets you ānodā. Iām not totally sold on the term. I wanted a like button or a hit counter or something like that, but anonymous, without any numbers, and without it sounding like a social media thing. So I have a nod button. It sends me a message that just says āSomeone nodded at ā. Not sure if Iāll keep it, but itās an interesting experiment. Has anyone else done anything similar?
Both are visible at my new /films page. I think next I want to put some stats or other data on that page. Then do the same for video games, board games, and probably some other stuffā¦

I rejigged my shrines website, Songs and Iāve built a small shrine today, to one of my favourite songs, āHe Lays In The Reinsā, from Iron & Wine/Calexico.

Love your films page! Expect several nods as I make my way through your past reviews.
I hope itās okay to highlight here, but I really like @small_cypressā approach to this. Itās cute and it makes me smile every time I see it

Itās the standard bear.blog ātoastā feature with a switched out emoji! I am sure someone smarter than me has figured out how to recreate something similar.

Launched my fanlisting collective, and, with it, my first solo-run fanlisting (for the game In Stars and Time)! I also recently added a āvideo gamesā section to my extensive bookmarks page.
Seriously considering changing my art subsitesā URL from my URL with /art/ at the end to using an āartā subdomain. It would certainly look nicer, and would make it look like a proper subsite, as I intend it to be. But, because of how Neocities works, that means I would have to transfer all of my images to a new account, and probably start a new organization system, and update every single page and, the real kicker, every single image to the new system, which sounds like a serious pain. So, Iām still bouncing the idea around in my mind.

I have a script for uploading to neocities, and a simple find and replace for URLs for images should get you most of the way!
Ooh, would you mind sharing the script?
It will need a bunch of specific things trimming from it that wonāt be necessary unless youāre meā¦ Iām happy to help customise it for your needs. Itās on my GitHub here:
Such an extensive bookmarks page! I love it! I found treasures in it, including a link to a directory of audio dramas that are complete. Iāve been craving a new audio drama to listen to so this was awesome to find!

- Archived the blog links prior to this year and started a new Blog Links page.
- Removed a dead link and added some new peeps and buttons to the Buttons and Links page.

I spent some time working out the godot web export to get it down to a reasonable file size yesterday. Managed to get the game down to about 30mb which is still a lot more than I want but way better than the 110mb+ it was before!
I then designed a page for the game to live on on my siteā¦ Iām really happy with it, thereās a cute parallax effect and a flock of birds fly across randomly.
I need to finish balancing the unlocks so a game lasts about 30 minutes nextā¦ that part is taking ages. Iāve written a simulator to try and help me with that but itās still a challenge.
Might get it finished in the next few days, hopefully!
Edit: and I forgot I want to try and get fastest times recording and displayed on the page, tooā¦
