Aug 07 2024Timewaste Tracker for Reddit & Youtube

It is incredibly easy to waste time. It is particularly sinister that certain corporations are dedicated to distracting me and wasting my time, when it is in fact a limited resource.

I do not need to be spending on Reddit or Youtube, being sucked down random rabbit holes of wholy useless information.

However, blocking them outright is not effective, as often useful information is gated on Reddit, so I’ll disable my blocker then get distracted.

Nov 20 2023French Republican Calendar Tools

I believe that in all facets of life, anything taken for granted should be examined. For me, this includes how I think about and interface with time. Since beginning research into this topic a few years ago, the French Republican Calendar has continued to fascinate and delight me, so much so to the point that I use decimal time and the republican calendar as my default method of tracking time in my personal life.

Jul 26 2023Webmentions for Deno

This is a straightforward webmention sending and endpoint discovery implementation. It has a single external dependency, which is Deno DOM. It uses this library to find the webmention endpoint within a page.

Jul 06 2023Webmention Deno!

Wrote a webmention library for Deno, it was good practice getting it to pass the test suite at webmention.rocks.

The next step is writing out a CLI tool that can completely replace (the now defunct) webmention.app.

Mar 30 2023Super Simple One Time Passwords for Deno

SSTOTP is as simple as it gets for a TOTP implementation. The libary can do the following:

1. Generate TOTP Secrets
2. Generate TOTP Tokens
3. Validate TOTP Tokens

Tokens are valid for 30 seconds, and a step tolerance of two is implemented to account for clock skew.

It has a single standard library dependency, which is base32.

At this time, it is considered feature complete. Generating otpauth:// QR codes is left as an exercise to the reader.

Aug 18 2022Kaarten - A Paper Journal Supplement

Kaarten is a simple, portable digital system to keep track of your bibliography for your analog notes.

Zettlekasten means “note box”, and is a method for organizing all your thoughts in an organized, retrievable way. If you find such solutions too heavy, try Kaarten - our “deck of cards”.

Methodology

Consider a paper notebook as a write-once, read-often database.

Paper space is limited, so it is pertinent to utilize much of the notebook for frequently referenced information - things like your appointments, thought summaries, or perhaps notes on topics or books you find interesting.

Jun 13 2022Permashortlinks & Cloudflare Webworkers

I’ve been investigating more deeply about Indieweb, namely their idea of a permashortlink - put succinctly, it is inevitable that shortlinking providers will either

1. Fold, or
2. Deprecate underused links.

This means that relying on them - and they are awfully convenient - is a net negative to the longevity of any web content you produce - and we’ve already seen it happen.

The Indieweb solution to this deprecation problem is, of course - to roll your own. Reading the wiki about this raises the same problem I have with a lot of Indieweb content - it’s a wiki clearly written by developers. I don’t think it’s actionable for the average web content consumer - even if they were gunhoe about running their own blog - to roll any of the permashortlink solutions mentioned on the wiki by themselves.

Feb 24 2021The ListenBrainz Widget



A big feature I wanted on this blog was the ability for people to see what music I was listening to right now; and you can see the finished results on the header of this page.

This blog is written in Hugo, which means unlike traditional blog engines, it renders the pages server-side, flat file - no database. These posts are actual MD files.
