And so it begins

This is just a direct copy of my - outdated - csu page. I actually uploaded it yesterday but didn't init.
Barest beginning

Changing up the index. This is a cutout town as I didn't devote too long. I do have a plan for the general organization, but these are mostly high level pages. I also won't track the font files or favicon.
Bare blog hub, link div

Added an rss. Pushed the old project page into ./autobio Pushed blog template into ./blog with a blog hub page. htaccess now points at my 404 page.

All in all, a nice bit of work. I noticed some naivite in how I uploaded, which resulted in some repetitive movements. Lesson learned. I wonder a little if I should use a really light cms. It's a bit tedious to complete the tags. But, I know that they will make unaesthetic choices I will feel compelled to undo. Oh well.

Bad Div_elopments

Transferred latest blogspot blog, which was pretty easy. I guess that's no surprise as I keep the styling pretty tame. I am a bit disappointed that they use breaks instead of different paragraphs, but oh well.

The other entirely new page (second time I'm writing this because vim?cygwin?) doesnt understand the left/right arrow keys. At least I figured out how to have it eat the extraneous lines it crapped out.)
-that I created is my planned purchases/wish list. Except for the markup, it is a straight copy of a file I massage biweekly. One cool aspect is that I_learned that I can use 'definition lists' which worked out better than unordered in this case.

Fuck you vim. I like to make both the paraentheses and then move back. Now I've deleted a whole sinning paragraph yet again. On second thought, my bile should be spat at git, for using a text editor with an antiquated unix UX instead of our contemporary use of arrow keys. Ah, it seems I'll have to change its environment config. Just you wait you sinning pos.

Back to the task at hand. I'm tired of rewriting stuff, so short versio this time. Put main content in divs. Worked on wish_list, not with anything else. Which finally reminds me why I had a faint memory of disliking divs. Ah, by 'not work' I_mean that the content div slips beneath the leftmost div. Another 'fun' example of designers misinterpreting the meaning of what I'm telling the system to do. Le Sigh. I can only wait until I am in UX frustrating other people.
Still a house div_ided

index now credits holo, who made the favicon that I'm using

put the link div on the 404 page, which is nicer than a simple one to just the index. Made a bare who is page, with a picture I'm stealing from my facebook album.

Funny. I was going to say "ah, almost did THIS with those <> tags"... Anyway.

Floated the containers to the right on some advice. It worked for those with lines that weren't longer than my width. (hahahahahahaha, parenthesis.) ie, the who_is page. But the index and so on do not work. 404 works because the main content isn't in another div. So, I_may need to put them in a container & clear the floats. Le sigh.

ffasdlfjasd;fjasl;dfjasdfj; asdf;j lsafd. Was clearing extraneous lines because of accidental arrow key & blew entry on whoit page Maybe? I don't even know.
Cis there a way to edit the commit message? Whatever, stuff added.

Divs finally fixed

So I manned up & finally gave relative widths to the link & main divs. As promised, this suppresses the elements from wrapping underneath the link div. Yay. This meant I could make a legit blog template, rather than just a little showcase of that cool redacted font.

I also extracted the canvas script to another file. With a little rearrangement, it works. So I guess I'll crack that open again and start racing the beam.

All these other pages are minor changes mostly. I imported the first wittegeist blog. Haven't worked on first new blog though.
All wittegeist posts imported

As it says on the tin, no more blogspot posts are missing from this site anymore. However, the experience has shown me that I can't really hope to do the same for the dozens of shakytable & xanga posts. I will have to set some python on extracting the posts & putting them in the template and so on.

I may not have told you last time, but I used three github projects to extract web pages from the wordpress xml. I don't recall them, but they put me a stone's throw rather than with the task of untangling a briar patch.

Sinning forgot. Le sigh. anyway, canvas exposition starts below
Interesting. anyway, I should probably make Edwin's spy game, even though the point of it in Java is to display comfort with inheritance & polymorphism. Here it would just be a game. I'll think of something.

The blog color stylings also make more sense now. Witteg is orange, xanga is green, myspace is pink, shakytable is blue, and nzen is grey based to follow the rest of the site. I won't apply one to microblog as there is only straight text or links.

Importing all the shakytable blogs will probably suck. oh well.

I typed in the second canvas example. I guess I'll upload it, but should quickly replace it with some other game. With a small change, it could be hang man
More web compliance

Added alt tags to all the rss.jpg
Added the utf-8 charset to all pages
Added the lang=En to all pages

So, now there's more info for browsers so it doesn't need to guess that I'm using english & mostly ascii. I was a bit concerned about utf-8 or 16. Someone mentioned that utf-16 is even more chimeral than utf-8, so I'll just stick with that.

Make sure to upload everything next time. Try not to need any more meta tags, or just add everything before the next upload.
Began sangfreud script

The script that transformed the blogspot xml (jesus. vim anyway, to continue the last point, going to automate as much as possible. good thing no one's going to probably read these commits. I'm aware that I_need to be careful but these keystroke habits are pretty strong. LE SIGH)
sin. Well at least it went down rather than up.) (not wp_depress) put me close enough to assemble all the files by hand peRnd
wp_extract loads the template

Mainly stopping in to get in the template loading code. I guess I'll work on the nav aspect now. I'll add another file to ensure all three cases are tested.

Began a hangman game to put on the canvas rather than the retyped letter guesser. It will, however, involve a fair bit of pixel nudging, I imagine. Le sigh?

You can't see it here, but I_changed the favicon.ico to one that I made. It is <!-- . It doesn't mean anything, but I'd rather have total control over this.

Finally, I cut the "fecebook is for useless like lists" paragraph from the projects page. I also cut it from the csu page it came from.
Nav links done

The extracter now generates the nav links that point to the previous and/or subsequent file in the folder. Next will probably involve extracting the title & category from the content file. Then I would have only a little to do - if there were only good files. Some are malformed, & will need handling. So there's a fair bit left.
still working, but uploaded today
Future 404 page

In last commit I_forgot that aug_13 wasn't div compliant. So I added the main_div class. I forgot to add the version I_moved into 2013 folder. Next commit.

Added index.css so the recent update headers match the color of the blog text.

Introduced a blog_404 in autobio/lost. I wanted to animate the shadows into clarity via js but it just blanked the page. jQuery is a bit big to use for just that effect, but I_may have to. Still, it's no bigger than the gif right there. I settled on a readable blur.
whoa finished that

I sinning beat my head on that timer issue for a long while. Anyway, it seems I needed to extract the timer & give it progressively longer durations. They appearantly check the difference from the call time rather than blocking the thread until the timer expires. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks now.
Nav for links, 404, microbe

switched to the bat file version of cygwin 64b. works, so I guess this is what I'll be using forthwith

404 page links were broken, as evinced in no formatting. It turns out the chimeral page must have absolute links rather than relative because the client could be in any folder when invoking a bad link.

September means some changes, like a new microblog page. So, index & microbe's main got the new link. I also shoved august into a 2013 folder like I knew I_would. This reminds me yet again that getting the folder heirarchy correct the first time is preferable. Microbe also has some formatting too. Should extract the h1 is center style to basic.css

Speaking of getting it right the first time, <>man I engaged some regex in vim. caluu calay.<> Ah, I almost hit the left arrow. Iguess the keyboard
 s unfamiliarity saved me, though not from this newline.

Anyway, I put a nav pair around the l_links div as that is appearantly what it is for. Unfortunately, that means that every page needs to be reuploaded again. Yay tedium.

Also added index.css which let me color the home page's links to the blog areas with their dominant color.
New error page heirarchy

I didn't fix the permissions of the css files, which showed me that nfs.com's default 403 page isn't as reassuring as I prefer. So there's one in here now. Plus, I pulled out the lost folder from autobio into the top level. That got the 404 & 403. Adjusted .htaccess to suit.

Updated the rss with micro/sep_9. That new item also included a pubDate entry, which I'll be using forthwith. Rss spec deliberately avoids demanding a particular order or duration of content. So, it is by my leave. Unless, of course, you feel like looking at the feeds of others.

Ah. Scott Adams even applied xls or css to his rss. It's well rendered. Though these mso_para tags suggest ms word? I am such an html snob now, the neophyte kind. His is in reverse chronological order, just like a blog. Which makes sense, of course. Why ask anyone to read everything to find a difference between the last snapshot? No. And his oldest rss blog post here is from 28 of june. Though I said MS word earlier, it seems that feedburner handles this stream. So, that definitively answers my questions. yay.

And that's it. Future involves work on wp_extract &_generating the sangfreud posts. Or doing them by hand, if I don't work on it all of next week. May take out the nav field in the footer of the blogs, so it displays inline. Oh, it
s time to go. And considering renaming all the main files to index, but that means fixing all the links.
All mainfiles renamed to index

As it says on the tin. I noticed that it should be named index unless, as nfs does, the server doesn't show a directory when there's no index file. I would have left them off entirely, but then local chrome wasn't displaying the file correctly. So, the links all explicitly say index now. I bet I'll redecide it all yet again soon enough.

It turns out the missing styling on blog_template was a misspelled color name in its css. That's fixed. As are two new links for will_buy. have about 60 left. And, final grab bag change, put a comment in wp_extract. I nearly got rid of the nav footer on the wittegeist blogs (so it would display inline), but I recalled that it needs category too. So, that was enough to justify the newline. All the wittegeist posts now reflect this, though they point to whoa future rather than
beginning category page, all witteg
