Surprisingly, your development changes don't show up when you run the production version instead.

Spent what felt like an eternity #debugging an issue with cookies in an express js server. Turns out the max-age value in express is in milliseconds, not seconds like in the http spec for cookies. I’m sure the reason is developer convenience 🤪

I finally found out how to fix the setup for #odin #vscode debugging using LLD. I added the -linker:lld flag in addition to -debug. Seems obvious in hindsight 🤦‍♂️
Now I can set breakpoints in VSCode and inspect the memory live. Much more convenient than printf debugging.

I've done some work under the hood on the site this morning.

TL;DR sorted out the index templates so that a single instance of a template can be styled separately to all the others.

e.g. gallery keeps its black background, photowalks drops into a 3 card wide grid etc.

I'm jumping back in to my IRC project in Perl. Because it's a personal project, I feel no pressure to do anything other than satisfy my own needs with it. #AmCoding

Logicool not mapping the backslash key correctly is more than mildly irritating.

Project update: Last bugs ironed out (I hope) and now seems pretty stable.

Guess we'll find out over the next couple of weeks as I start updating and adding content 🤞

Project update: have ported all content to new site, can rebuild entire site at the press of a key and schedule / draft and edits are working correctly.

.htaccess left to construct.

Tomorrow I'll give it a once over and 🤞 all live on Friday!

Project update: now generating html files from .md files based on last time the "publish" utility was run.

Also ported all current content to .md files and dropped in their correct slots.

Coming next: generating the sized images from my originals.

Project Update: method to build html indexes now stable and reliable.
Method to rebuild content index from directory structure now stable.
Method to post scheduled posts needs debugging. I dislike "sometimes doesn't work" solutions.

Project update: refactored the page indexes to make it a bit easier to maintain & faster.

Built methods to generate site-wide, hashtag and directory html index pages + robots.txt.

Project update: now generating html index files for hashtags, categories etc.

Decided to fail if the folder isn't present in the website mirror to protect against typos.

Website 1/3 down! I used Django (and Bootstrap) to put it all together and learned so much in the process, including about scrollspies and adapting to mobile interfaces. Exciting times! #AmCoding #Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient (props if you can spot the @apistone cameo)

Went off the deep end tonight with a coding project to generate Latin verb conjugations. Decent start with pres and impf but long way to go. Should I use my newfound Zoom powers to record and post my coding and thought process as it unfolds? #ClassicsTwitter #DigiClass #AmCoding
