Notes

To get up in the morning, in the fullness of youth, and open a book — now that’s what I call vicious!

(Replace “open a book” with ”post to your blog” or some such; you get the idea.)

Noted: Tom MacWright is selling his website (Jekyll) theme. Which makes me think I could sell a version of this, the theme you’re interacting with at this very moment.

My blogging “set up”. MacOS in full screen mode, Typora on the left and Firefox on the right. You can edit Typora themes with CSS, and I’ve set the heading styles so they mimic the website. Jekyll serves the site with an incremental switch, which means saves to the markdown file are reflected fairly quickly (about 2-3s at the moment).

We took Melie here today as it’s her fourth birthday – it’s enclosed, so we could let her off the lead.

Forget looks a great service (via @hjertnes) – automatically delete older tweets according to whatever rules you set. If you’re syndicating from your website, you’ll never lose any of your beautiful or precious thoughts/images/whatever.

I spent a day this week using Linux (Zorin, specifically) as my work OS. It was horrible. Buggy, endless workarounds, things not working, things not available. Would be OK as my personal PC OS at a push, but for work – nope.

Websites! – Please don’t make me have to change your body (or even html!) font-weight to normal from 300. Thanks!

Not really looking forward to everything going “back to normal”, but I have missed lunchtimes in the St-Mary-le-Tower churchyard when it’s warmish and sunny.

I think adding a webmention like or reply to is as simple as adding the appropriate class to an a within your article, div or whatever parent element has an h-entry class? Testing by replying to a post on adding webmentions to Jekyll.

To tell the truth and to shoot well with arrows: that is Persian virtue — Nietzsche, Ecce Homo

Which is a good aim I think.
