Happy halloween everyone!🎃💀👻
Decided to push a minor update for the occassion. (I'd do more with the "quick about me page." Even had ideas but my hand hurts. 🤕) I'm not doing much today, just planning to watch a few movies (Scream 2 & 3) & eat some candy for fun.
Currently having major art block, which is bad since most of the site assets for the new version of the site require me to make some art.
Good news however is that I've made a ton of layout concepts for a couple of pages! Which makes things a lot easier to block out with html & css. It's a really good process for my workflow!
The process is this:
- I write down ideas for a page I'm working on in an obsidian vault made specifically for my site.
- I then roughly sketch them out using a small notepad by my desk with additional notes in the empty space.
- After that I "refine" these notepad sketches by making an MS Paint concept that'll go in the obsidian vault. (Possibly multiple concepts, it depends.)
- When the concept art is finished, I make a section on the note documenting my webpage using obsidian. This section will display the concept art I've made for that webpage.
- After the images are imported to my obsidian vault, (In a specific folder to keep it organized.) I make a few headings on the note for each image.
- I order these concepts by what will be viewed first on the page. (Top to bottom.)
- Then write down additional details in each section for further clarity on the concept art.
After all that I start blocking out the HTML & CSS. That's it so far!

I'm not dead still working on other parts of my site.

Again it's been a long time since I've made an update.
Surprise!
Made a minor change to this page so it's less of a headache
to edit. Made the dates <h3>
tags instead of
<span>
tags to make it easier to edit and
read.
Disclaimer: I'm unable to test things on mac products
before I update a page. I don't have any so if something
looks off on your Apple device that's why. I felt the need
to say this because I know a ton of people use Apple products.
(Hell Apple's a direct competitor to Microsoft.) Ok onto the
update!
Current progress is this:
-
I fully finished making the blogpage! 🎉
-
From now on I won't be using images as emoticons.
I'm just going to use emojis, I'm still too
confused about markdown it to get that to work.
-
Besides why put that much work into something that'll
take up more space? (image files compared to emojis.) So
these old status updates on the new site will look
different because of that.
- Another page is in development. 👀
-
A big section of the site is getting some progress after
figuring out
nunjucks
conditionals. Those are really cool holy shit seeing it work
is so sweet! So much potential with conditionals.
-
Said page's mobile compatibility is functional. Not
complete due to the page not having it's
"look" completed.
- Contents of the about me page is being written.
- Art gallery is in it's early stages.

Hey it's been a while since I've made an update!
I've been mostly spending my time learning
Python and working on some
python scripts that'll optimize production of both blogposts and
another thing related to
Toyhouse.
The first python script for blogposts will make posts faster
than ever. Right now the goal of this week is working on my
"main" site.
You probably noticed a new button/link on my page. That's right
I've added a new page. This will be the only other page on this
version of the site, only there for convienence. It's a quick
about me page that also has some links to my other socials and
an FAQ section.
It's a little messy but I don't care. It does it's job.
Hopefully this'll be the last update in a while, not because of
anything bad but due to me hopefully working on my more
"finished" site. I've also changed the froge to my froge, she
has a crown!

Sorry I couldn't help myself, I added Gene.
Today was very cold, actually the past week has been really
cold! Cold enough that it makes it hard to type or draw!
Thankfully I'm cozied up and relaxing. Today I also wrote a
shell script that lets me select a directory and open it in Vim.
BTW I started learning
Vim.
I really like it so far and NGL I actually really like using it
for .txt
& .md
files!
I'm actually thinking about using Vim for writing 11ty posts
instead of VSC. It loads
faster and with the script I wrote it'll improve productivity.
Since it's very... I'll just say "plain" for now. It's a lot
easier for me to focus on editing/writing the file!
It'll take a while to write about the script & explain how I
made it. So I'll share the script and my process in another post
on my new site. Maybe even the first post!
(I should actually start writing it now haha.. 😅)

Added a silly little guy here. (Luigi)
Also I almost added a page here but realized that adding
more pages to a placeholder version of a site is a bad idea. So
instead I'm adding those pages onto the site I'm working on.
Relevant post lol:

Today I made this so people can see my brain slowly melt into
nothing! (Joking!)
