Buy my stuff at Design by Hümans

I opened a store and set up Hugo to warn me when I forget purchase links.

Well, one design. I only got things going yesterday, with a quick sketch on a plain white background. Future plans include adjusting old designs and creating new ones for the store, with an intended pace of roughly one design per week.

Of course I already worked out the site integration. Everything on Random Geekery tagged “buy me” should have a direct link to its page on the store. I get a lovely Hugo errorf message if I forget the link.

Code Sample

    {{- if in .Params.tags "buy me" -}}
  {{- if isset .Params "purchase" -}}
	{{- with .Params.purchase -}}
	  <p class="cover-link">
		<a href="{{ .url }}" target="_blank">{{ .caption }}</a>
	  </p>
	{{- end -}}
  {{- else -}}
	{{ errorf "%s Tagged 'buy me' without purchase front matter!" .File.Path }}
  {{- end -}}
{{- end -}}

My partial is a little clunky, but it worked. I can improve it later.

ℹ️ Note

And then a couple weeks later I realized my needs would be better served by a new section than by a tag.

TMTOWTDI hides in Python’s nooks and crannies. Oh how it delights my crooked heart.

I promised my body food and instead I wrote a blog post. Better get to the food.

Let’s assume that Ant-Man’s size relative to one of these microverse planets is about the same as Paul Rudd’s size relative to the Earth. Obviously, we assume a spherical Ant-Man, as well as a spherical Paul Rudd.

Thread, but this is the tweet I was looking for.

Can’t tell if ADHD or ~16 days into not smoking but after a very full day with many accomplishments I’ve nearly finished one of the things I meant to do today.
