Microblog

Non-technical post: Haste: Broken Worlds is a fantastic game. I love games that make you go fast, and the modern-roguelike styling is also great. Very fun with friends too. Might put together a review of some sort.

It occurred to me, rather abruptly, that timezones might be an issue. I'd been lazily generating text according to my current locale, which is not portable. Changing timezones would change the output fundamentally. So, my "dashdate" format I made for the blog now includes timezones, and this microblog uses dashdates instead of epoch timestamps.

RSS feed generation has been hooked up. It shows the last 20 posts here. The opportunity was taken to change the main blog's feed to make the core link the blog subdirectory rather than the homepage.

If this post works, it will demonstrate that I can do this over mobile via termux, and that will be very cool indeed. An RSS feature will have to be a 'later' concern.

As always, the hardest part of these projects is just getting past all the stupid mistakes that keep it from working.

I've decided to have the script save a copy of the posts.txt I store on the website locally for safekeeping. It's messy, but it'll work for now. My ssg build script pulls from the server to synchronize locally before building, so nothing is cudgeled.

Now, it works better if I give curl the correct url to download the template from. But still, I think this is a decent accomplishment. It's much easier than writing a whole blog post.

This message is being submitted through a small Lua script I've written. It uses curl and the neocities cli. If everything goes well it should show up on the website just as I've written it here.

This is a test. For now this is being written by hand, but I intend to make a little twtxt-like script so that it can be appended to separate from the rest of the site. Maybe a mini-RSS feed.
