The Blog
The μ-Blog
Okay everypony I don't think it's going to work…
but at least I have typographic ellipsis now!
(I write them in my input documents as $(...)
me when I lie
OK, one more test then I'm giving it a reak for now!
Doesn't entirely work;
that last entry was written in an email,
but I still had to ssh into the SDF VHOST node to deploy it
(my www directory isn't mounted on the machine that runs procmail(1)!)
—
maybe I'll ask on bboard if anyone has any suggestions :)
Testing my new script to update the μ-blog from e-mail !
Do you think the guys from Daft Punk explored each others' bodies?
$ time make deploy
> 2.22s real \
> 1.43s user \
> 0.59s system
haha. i'm in danger.
Would you still love me if I told you I'm not tracking the contents of this
site with git(1) and also I was a worm?
Final thought!!! take the last entry as an example of how long μ-blog entries can get: very long! The μ-blog isn't meant to just be short entries; basically, anything to which I can't really give a good title goes in the μ-blog; if something really needs a title, it should go in the blog, even if it's only one sentence long! (this will ideally be explained in the about page, but I haven't gotten around to making that one yet........)
Man, the spacing algorithm for text-align: justify
(at least in my browser — I can't imagine it's the same for all)
is shit! Definitely not Knuth-Plass, but even worse than a greedy algorithm
like those used by troff(1)!
Also also, I'm enjoying writing this site in Markdown,
although at first I was a bit disappointed I couldn't do it in troff(1)
— but Markdown is way better suited for semantic output for the Web,
whereas troff(1) is specifically for presentation as a typsetting
system.
I think
I'm actually able to format Markdown files a lot like how I like troff(1)
input (and how is conventional)
((that is, with a lot of linebreaks lol))
because Markdown only creates a paragraph break with an entire blank line,
but I might get bit by this too!
For now,
I am enjoying being able to put line breaks after every comma
(yes, if you didn't know, that sort of formatting is common and considered
good for troff(1) — think about git(1) diffs!)
;)
Can't decide if I want the datetime for μ-blog entries at the beginning or the end of the entry! Also, not sure if including the em-dash in the contents is correct, semantically, for a time element, but the datetime attribute is set correctly so fingers cross! (also, first use of inline code spans on this site — wowee!)
OK so I didn't even need that last μ-blog post, because I can just cancel writing a post without saving and everything will be fine! Accidental feature that I didn't even know to use!
For some reason my site updates on the www subdomain instantly, but I gotta wait for a bit on the main domain! Somethin to do with SDF's cron jobs...
Oh god I'm testing the build system (shitty recursive make(1) because turns out bmake(1) doesn't support pattern rules!) and I need to think of something to write here oh god oh fuck
Everybody want's a girlfriend with daddy issues until she... uhh... until she... ummm...
