Site Style Tweaks

Seasonally appropriate sculpture from Tucson Botanical Gardens

Even though the blog itself has been quiet, I spent most of the year puttering on different iterations of the site. I’ve still got some ideas for the year ahead – maybe something practical? Or maybe a skill-builder like Astro or Gatsby? Not sure yet.

For now, I made myself a new theme tweaking MVP.css heavily, sprinkled with a whole lot of predefined CSS variables from Open Props. Still a few pieces missing, but I can get that later. Mrs Geek has a birthday to celebrate today!

Oh and I’m using ox-hugo and Emacs to write the new posts. If I want something besides Hugo in a future iteration, I’ll want to take that into account. There’s always Orga.js.

That thing where two days after the interview your brain pops up with your answer (based on habits built up over so very many years of experience) to a question that had you stumbling a bit while in interview mode.

@Johannab the pets add an acceptable layer of busywork

@Johannab Well that is craptacular and I honestly wish it was more surprising.

Yeah I’m interested. Had temptation to roll my eyes at Krypto but then thinking we still haven’t gotten the golden age DC movie we deserve.

I’d watch this, and probably enjoy it.

@antijingoist @fortyseven I was wondering how much they were going to pack into it with all the distinct scenes in the teaser. I’d be okay for a marathon run or a two-parter, yep.
