At today’s IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club: Pacific event, we covered lots of different topics—RSS, ATProto, poll platforms, CMSes, databases, upvotes, YAML, etc . During the event, something @fractalkitty and @joelchrono said alerted me...
This week’s weeknote is another technical log of what I did to my site. Skip to the Link Roundup if it’s too technical! Should I do a separate series for web dev talk and how I am building my site—a bit like Shellsharks’ Devlog series?...

Being More ActiveHaving my best friend visiting HK got my average daily steps up to 14694 last week! Because my calves were destroyed after descending 300 meters on Tai Mo Shan (steep descent of over 500 steps of concrete stairs), I had...
Had a nice day out in Tsuen Wan to eat dim sum (HK style steamed dishes in bamboo baskets) at the base of Tai Mo Shan (highest mountain in Hong Kong) a few days ago. The restaurant is called Duen Kee Chinese Restaurant (aka Tuen Kee)...
Hugo ThemesI’ve been trying to use less overrides in my Hugo blog because the source code is getting messy. I’m currently using the Anubis2 theme as a Git Submodule, but since I heavily customized the base styles, I ended up using many...
