River City People

Bought this CD in a bargin bin of a music store in Huntington, WV. I think it cost around 50 cent. There were several great albums I bought that day.

Little Big - Taco

I don't know what I'm watching. But I think I like it, maybe.

RSS Feed changed

I changed the blog rss feed from Atom.xml to JSON Feed. If you were using the old feed, you will likely need to delete and re-add with the new one. I highly doubt many people I know would even use RSS, but thought it was worth mentioning, just in case.

I changed it because the JSON feed is easier to deal with and the reader I use handles it fine.

Mising Disney Trips

Really missing our regular trips to Walt Disney World. We had to cancel 2 trips, and would likely have planned another trip by now. It's good to focus on the positives. But, sometimes the simple things are what we miss the most.

We are your friends

One of my all time favorite albums.

Rush - Prime Mover

I'll stop the world and melt with you

Defaults to case insensitive

So this has bit me twice in the last week. Once for work and once on personal projects. When my mac updated to use APFS a few releases ago. It chose the most compatible option and is case-insensitive. Which is wrong for any one developing code and deploying on linux or unix based case sensitive systems.

Mac Disk Utility format options

I can change this, but I would have to reformat and rebuild my system. So I'll likely not change it till I get a new machine.

Do over again

Changes to the blog layout and mechanics of posting to it. It was a statically built site. I would run a local job to generate the site and then upload the output to the server. Very fast, but it was a pain to update the blog. So, I didn't. Now I can upload a single file to add a new blog entry. This means the pages are dynamic now, so things are a little more complex and more can go wrong on. I also ran into a few issues on initial deploy that I will need to fix now, but nothing major.

I now need to refine the procedure for posting to the blog. It's fairly simple depending on whether there are images to add for the blog entry. I also have to make sure that I update my local source control with the updates. Otherwise, I could lose content if the server has to be re-deployed. I may end up writing an app or some shortcuts for this, but I think I can accomplish most of it with a combination of the Drafts app and the Working Copy app.

Getting side projects done

I have had this on my list of side projects for so long, it's crazy. It feels good to have it done. I have some other long term features to add that I can start now. There used to be an image gallery, and I still have the images, but I'm not sure about the metadata that powered it. I think I have it in an old backup copy.

Adding a dark mode based on browser configuration is also easy - I already have the ability to change themes in the CSS.
