The idea here is to provide as little CSS as is sensible for the initial
page load to be styled in a layout similar to the final layout. This
initial styling may be briefly visible on a slow conection.
Slow connections can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, I'm a
Tor user, and connection speeds vary. Mobile connection speeds can also
vary wildly.
This adds a few hundred bytes, but I was able to cut it down quite a bit,
and I don't find this to be unreasonable relative to the other data on
each page.
This automates creation of the header and footer. Previously I modified
them manually and they got out-of-sync.
This is deployed to a different location on my webserver, even though the
public route is `/projects'.
We have two sitautions to account for:
1. Old posts had both uppercase and lowercase letters in slugs; and
2. Some ids changed.
Lighttpd can't convert to lowercase and having a bunch of separate redirects
in my webserver configuration for the id changes is messy. So, this script
is intended to be called only when a post contains an uppercase character in
the path.
I had wanted to avoid _any_ sort of dynamic scripts. Oh well.
All other redirects are handled in the websevrer configuration (which isn't
part of this repo atm).
I didn't originally intend for all of this to be in a single commit. But
here we are. I don't have the time to split these up more cleanly; this
project is taking more time than I originally hoped that it would.
This is a new static site generator. More information to follow in the
near future (hopefully in the form of an article), but repo2html is now
removed. See code comments for additional information; I tried to make it
suitable as a learning resource for others. It is essentially a set of
shell scripts with a fairly robust build for incremental generation.
The site has changed drastically, reflecting that its purpose has changed
over the years: it is now intended for publishing quality works (or at least
I hope), not just a braindump.
This retains most of the text of the original pages verbatim, with the
exception of the About page. Other pages may have their text modified in
commits that follow.
Enhancements to follow in future commits.
This adapts the same methodology I used for my SAPSF LP2017 talk to keep
third-party resources out of the repository. This is not only good from a
licensing perspective, but also good for the repo and programatically
defines how I derive the image displayed on my site from a source image (and
proves that it does not constitute a derivative work, as it is not
transformative).
The election is over, so there's no point in keeping the "Election." post.
I...am at a loss for words. I'll surely be posting about this in some
regard at some point, so I'm not going to bother here.
