  • Owning my Code Snippets

    It's very convenient to be able to quickly share a link to a code snippet, which is something I've mostly done using gist.github.com. While often the code snippets are sort of throwaway, I still feel bad that I'm posting them in a place that I don't control.

  • Improved Blog Post Archives

    I've been wanting to improve the layout of my blog post archive pages for some time. Previously, the page just listed out the full contents of the last 20 posts, and you could continue navigating back 20 posts at a time. I realize that some people like reading the full posts on the archive page, rather than having to click into each one, but it wasn't easy to just skim the post titles to get a sense of what was on the page.

    Last night I had a dream that I was trying to call 911 to report an in-progress robbery in an apartment across the street, but when I called 911, it turns out that they had shut down the call centers and you could only leave a voicemail.

  • Rich Link Previews for my Website on Facebook and Twitter

    Ever since launching the new version of my website in 2016, I haven't had the special meta tags that Facebook, Twitter and Slack use for showing the nice preview of links shared. It's been annoying me a bit when I share a link to a blog post that they don't look good there.

  • My 2017 Year in Review

    Curious what I was up to in 2017? So am I! Thankfully I developed a pretty regular habit of writing short blog posts any time I finished something, so I have a nice collection of posts to draw from for this year-in-review post!

    The Apple Park Visitor Center is pretty neat. I do wish it was two floors taller so it had a better view of the space ship tho

    Neat #AugmentedReality demo of the new Apple Park building. Pointing the iPad at the scale model on the table shows an animated overlay of what it looks like inside!

    Some fun stats from this year:

    • I spent more time riding a bike than in planes and cars combined
    • I traveled 1.7x farther by bike than by car
    • I drank almost the same number of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages
    • My cocktail of the year is the Boulevardier

    Just pushed some updates to IndieNews! Notes like this one, (posts with no name) will now be displayed better, hopefully encouraging people to post more short stuff instead of just blog posts.

    There is also a calendar view for posts, similar to the calendar on https://indieweb.org/2017-12-indieweb-challenge Thanks to @sknebel for the idea! I didn't link to the calendar permalinks from the UI yet, but you can browse to them with URLs like this: https://news.indieweb.org/en/2017/12

    I also fixed an issue where the content and name of posts was not being truncated, which caused a minor IRC flood this morning due to a Microformats implied name containing an entire blog post being sent to IRC.
