I write about my process and progress with the development of this site. As well as, eventually, other projects I dabble in.
I finally did it! As you should see in the sidebar/header there is now a toggle which allows you to display a dark theme. If you have javascript enabled the site will remember your choice using a cookie. If you do not have javascript enabled the site will warn you that the choice cannot be saved.
Let me show you how I did it.
I love TreeTabs. I've been using verticle nesting tabs for years. Because of Firefox's change to WebExtension crap I have had to switch to TreeTabs. It's pretty great, but I have some gripes and this post is how to fix one of the worst: How to rename the "ungrouped" group to something else.
I finally updated the gallery page to be more friendly-ish...
Now, it only loads 800kb to start, instead of 20mb+ yay
So, in style of getting back into code, I made an extension for Visual Studio Code. Well I rewrote it.
It is an exentions which allows you to convert text into ASCII fonts!
I use these kinds of fonts in large comments to help segment my code for easy parsing …
Alright, so in getting sucked into my old support group again, I have added responsibilities to my plate instead of removing them. Ugh. What am I doing?!?
Well it's not so bad. I guess it makes sense I would return despite my distance because I am alive. So how does …
Super excited. I recently created an account at Cloudinary.com for their free account.
I really want to switch over to a CDN for image hosting because my git project should not host all those images.
Here's what I accomplished:
This website and all its pieces now needs 4 pelican config files. And the latest addition requires different direct templates than the others. So I needed a way to override the direct templates without royally fucking anything else up. This is what I came up with.
So I'm on a roll huh? Avoiding all the important stuff and working on my website too much... Well, when I'm stuck in bed because I hurt it's better than gaming or binge watching. I should finally internalize that. Anyway.
Until now, I had a folder that held the raw …
At least I'm not playing video games -_-
I finally had the focus to rework the testing script for this project. Let me tell you what I did. OKAY!?!
So in my updates to the script I also wanted to hide my config files behind a folder because it feels nice when things are clean. This caused a hiccup or two. Let me tell you what I did. OKAY!?! ugh
I, wanted to implement some more features on this site, and amidst my social time here, I failed to complete them, or even get close. So I reverted.
I am leaving tomorrow. So expect a recap post of my time here in Maryland in a day or so.
Looking at my assets required for this site, I knew FontAwesome was taking up bloat. I was including the whole font! But I'm using a small portion. It consumed 76kb! So I searched for how to make it smaller.
