Weeknotes (thru May 2, 2025)
Stuff From The Week
- Did a second round of Baulder's Gate III with a four person squad. I played through part of the game as a solo a few months back. Fun, but I burned out on it. Playing with a group has brought back the enjoyment. We're all having a blast.
-
Did a bunch of work to split Neopolitan (my markdown replacement format) apart from Neopoligen (my static site generator that uses the format).
I'm doing a lot of refactoring in the process. It's encouraging work. I've learned so much since I started. Being able to apply that knowledge during the move is super satisfying.
- I think I've locked in the shorthands for Neopolitan. Details in Finalizing Neopolitan Shorthands.
-
Updated the Neopolitan landing page with an overview of the format that's what will become version 2.0.
Looking at the repo, it seems I haven't touched it in 2 years. That makes sense. Given I was doing all the work on the format inside the site generator project.
- Had an idea about how to use hashes as placeholders to stand in for posts I'm too afraid to publish
- Wrote: How Long Does It Take To Write?
- Posted what might the first in a series collecting various yak shaves: Current Yaks - April 30, 2025

-
The reason I had to go back to find the framework is because I had used it as part of my color picker. I only figured that out when I started to move it off my main site to it's own subdomain (so that I don't break it when I'm changing my main site). It's now at:
- Used the color picker to update the colors on my site too. Set it up to default to light mode but use the signal from system settings to switch to dark. I've got code to provide an explicit button. It's not in place right now. Want to look at a refactor of it at some point soon.
- Put up a placeholder site for Neb
