Dawn of a glorious garbage day
The sun makes itself known long before you can see it.

We have plenty to be cranky about these days. Honestly? Yeah I make time for that. But also, I have seen some of the most amazing sunrises and sunsets since moving to Tucson.
Even on garbage day, with a bit of carnage from the javelinas enjoying buffet night.

I just spent a week being mad at Tailwind. Turns out? it me for not manually scanning deps. That 4.0.0-beta vite integration won’t get automatically updated to stable no matter how many times I run npm up.
Python project management is a nightmare of abundance. Node project management is a nightmare of tracking dependencies and then also tracking the integrations between those dependencies.
(posting it like this because I’m pretty sure I missed an npm flag or alternate tool, and my Internet’s pretty good about telling me what I did wrong)

Today’s web site silliness: added a light/dark toggle with hyperscript, saving preference to browser localStorage.
I’ll make it more smarterer later. Mainly needed it for when I’m comparing my own color schemes.

Parsing both markdown sources and HTML for my search thing (for metadata and rendered content, respectively). Realized I could simplify that by putting the most important metadata in the generated HTML.
Got three lines into a nested component structure when I realized I already have the most important metadata identified in the generated HTML, via microformats2 classes.
Thanks, past me!

Petition to start calling the gulf “Chactemal.” I have not yet found a citation backing the claim that this was the Mayan name for the water and not just the name for the province bordering the water.
But it’s a way cooler name.
