@Satsuma ordinarily with blogs you have some kind of site generator or server software but this is just a bunch of html files for posts, an xml (atom) file as an index, and then a stylesheet which makes it browsable

@Satsuma the aforementioned XSLT plus handwritten Atom feeds

this has to be one of the most absolutely minimal blog setups ever used

@Satsuma created caramels! You can see pictures here: ‹ glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/106 ›.

• In the process of re·organizing/consolidating my internet presence, I wrote an XSLT ‹ github.com/marrus-sh/u2764/blo › which can be used to generate index pages like ‹ u2764.com/XRPT/ › and ‹ u2764.com/OFIC/ › from linked Atom feeds/archives! See the source code for those pages, or @ me for an explanation of how it works.

thankfully, i also know enough to quote the relevant passages verbatim when i cite a link

thank you, me of 2018, for deciding that from now on i was only going to make webpages which were self‐contained and easily distributable

@monorail oh yeah i always forget where the event listener goes with load events

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", ...) might be better if you don't need to wait for assets but it's nbd

the cat from garfield is named garfield

maybe this is a problem of living in america, where your fantasy book about X historical figure or event is likely the only thing about X historical figure or event that anyone will ever read

like you couldn’t come up with an original idea so you decided to distort our understanding of history, something we already have great difficulty understanding? ok

Show thread

my feelings towards authors who write fantasy based on historical events are similar to squares’ feelings regarding people who write fanfiction

it’s even LESS difficult if you allow hyphenating long words in reasonable positions and have a sizeable line length to work with
