Update Log
- Late Sunday night, I added a personal calendar which you can read more about here and check out here!
- Thursday afternoon I wrote a new diary entry, called 'towards a diet of nice smelling foods'. You can read it here
- Added a new PROJECTS PAGE to coolguy, to keep y'all updated on stuff I'm working on and why I'm working on it. It's mostly code things, and it's starting out kinda bare, but check out the dat zine library section cos that page is just stacked with a lotta words. too many words? most likely.
- I added a new diary entry. It's short and sweet. Or at least that was how I read it!
- On Sunday, I did some nice link styling. The links page was looking kinda gross, so I overhauled the CSS. No more harsh white background and weird padding. Now there's cute lil' index cards for each section. The code is simpler now too, cos grid is awesome! check it out here
- Zines added and style overhaul! While I was at the library, I added pdf copies of my old zine to the writing page, so if you interested you could read them! To celebrate this, I also overhauled the styling on the writing pages so they all look the same (same = nice as hell). Read them here
- Now that I have new styles for the writing page, I wanted to add a bit more writing to it! So on Saturday, I added "The Bookshelf", "Clear Skin for an Unclear World", and "Going to the Media Party...". Check them all out on the Writing page!
- This is a bit harder to see, but I started DRASTICALLY updating my CSS. I want it all to be cleaner and more understandable in the organization. My hope is to completetly remove the old stylesheet, and have a new stylesheet that is hundreds of lines of less code. Let's see how it goes!!!
- On Saturday, I completely overhauled the writing page so that it looks nice with the BIG fonts (i'm super into big fonts now.) It also has a slightly softer background-color (I need to figure out how to make my site not hurt my eyes.)
- Also on Wednesday, I added Productivity Tips from Plant Life to the Rituals page. It's a method I'm exploring to help with my own personal work and intentions. Take from it what you'd like as you'd like!
- On Wednesday I put up The Future Will be Technical, a longer essay on the writing page. It's kind of a manifesto? Feel like I keep writing manifestos
- Late Saturday night, I also wrote a new diary entry about magic Novembers. It's got a bunch of mixed metaphors. Or rather, it's like a mixtape of metaphors.
- I finished a book and added it to my bookshelf, then added short notes for some of the books on the shelf. This would have been on Saturday night.
- On Monday night I added a links page and some more friends!
- In the end of September I added a rituals section, including a ritual I did for enchanting yourself and yr computer.
- I removed my dependence on fontlibrary.org. I depend on no other website now! I also cleaned up a bunch of CSS. You can tell both because everything runs much faster now
- On Wednesday I created this log!
- I wrote a new blog post on Tuesday night. read it here
- I created the Library on Monday
