Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ New Intro 

I've rewritten the intro section: it's now longer, but it should give readers a bit more flexibility.

Since it's quite long, I won't ask anyone to do this for me, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new intro section (it's everything before the segments themselves).

TECH NEWS: New intel chips coming out this fall have a new protection domain called "Ring -6" which exposes an API to adjust the physical layout of components on the motherboard

Hear ye, hear ye, fediverse! :blob_rave:

With @milia we worked for a few days on a small web project and we are happy to share it with you today!

It's called Souvenir ~

The principle is simple: you can capture a few seconds of your camera and it generates a gif.
It's a mix between Polaroid and the magic photos from Harry Potter!

❖ Now let’s make souvenirs (and share them if you want 👀)

The castle was crumbling.

The Royals & Nobles had fled, finding themselves helpless after a curse had vanished every servant, serf & peasant.

Or so they were lead to believe.

Piece by piece the castle was disassembled, its stones used to create new homes. Most of the Royal pleasure gardens were plowed for additional farmland.

Hunting commenced in the plentiful Royal Forests, with no fear of incarceration.

The commoners finally thrived.

I finally got around to making a favicon for my site....

it's only been... 2 years...

hyopthetical compressed UI in mastodon 

• Make the "write a toot" column miniscule when not in use, and make all other columns expand to be as wide as possible
• Remove the buttons from underneath a post, and move them to the right of the post.
• If there are 2 toots in a row from the same person, don't redraw the username and avatar, just put a line between them.

I really want a masto interface that takes up less vertical space...

Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ coding things 

If you're curious, the source for my website is here: nest.pijul.com/AveryLychee/lyc

`Filter.hs` and `Abbrevs.hs` contains all the code that allows me to make the audio guide without having to write lots of repetitive html.

The file that contains the actual content of the audio guide is `src/doctor-who/audio-guide.md`.

Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ coding things 

This was actually quite complicated to do: my source file is markdown, and markdown's convenient table format doesn't support tables with custom colours on each row. I could use custom colours if I manually make the tables in html but that makes them very hard to edit.

So what I had to do is make a filter that converts the markdown tables into html tables, then looks inside the table to see what my review is, and then sets the row colours accordingly

Doctor Who • Audio Dramas ░ Update ✨ 

Update: I got rid of some javascript!

Previously, the page would load all the tables, but the table rows would just be a default colour. Then, a script would go through each table and set each row to the appropriate colour.
This meant that whenever you loaded the page, the colours would suddenly pop in after a second or two.

But now: all that processing happens ahead of time, so the colours are already there when you load the page!
