  • The Obstinacy of Nerds, Template Edition

    I got a bee in my bonnet about building a custom theme for my microBlog site now that I’ve decided to use it more, but my ship of productivity is breaking on the rocks of Hugo, a CMS built by the worst pointdexters in human history. Won’t even permit a decent file extension for their templates.

    Just let me call things layout.go.html you dorks. I will have you turbo-wedgied if I read any more GitHub threads dedicated to providing the stupidest possible reasons to not do basic and sensible things.

    Oh lord. I’ve just realised why. They assume once someone starts using GoLang they’ll renounce all other programming languages, so filetype delineation is pointless.

    Arrggggg, I am screaming.

  • I made up this soup mix last week and it was very nice: Beef and Barley soup from Lollis Artisan Soups.

    Extremely easy to make, too.

  • The nice thing about crossposting from a micro.blog site is

    Real URLs with descriptive text and everything. For example, the Maleny Wood Expo is coming back next year!

  • Finished reading: City of Bones by Martha Wells 📚

    Very fine worldbuilding and a plot that feels high-stakes but fits comfortably within a single book. Wells is one of the best fantasists working today.

  • This is proably because I’m fairly immature but it’s funny to me that Golden’s line of acrylic additives and mediums are called “GAC”. I mean, they are very addictive.

  • I see Backblaze is raising prices. I know business has to stay viable but it’s a bit surprising when something based on storage goes up rather than down in price.

  • In light of the new Guy Richie King Arthur film I keep wondering why it’s not possible to do a “realistic” period setting with mystical elements. Most adapations with the latter situtate Arthur in a hig medieval epoch. 5th century would be more fun.

  • A lot of music from the 1990s that I actively hated at the time sounds a lot better to me now. But, most of the stuff I found merely tiresome has not improved at all.
