A bit of a rest week this week. The only trip I have is an easy three day turn to/from Las Vegas. This gives me plenty of time to just enjoy a few days off, plan out my holiday purchases, and find a room to crash for Midwest FurFest #MFF2019 (https://sentamal.in/notes/a-bit-of-a-rest-week/)

Hurrah, webmentions are now displayed! My implementation of it for my site is done during Hugo’s static generation, so alack new mentions are not displayed in real time. Yet. Maybe soon? (https://sentamal.in/notes/hurrah-webmentions-are-now-displayed/)

So much metadata, but now all the posting types have additional metadata in the form of OpenGraph (Facebook), Twitter Cards (Twitter), and Schema.org (Google). But man, that was a total slog to actually make sure it all works. (https://sentamal.in/notes/so-much-metadata/)

Sister and sister’s boyfriend offered to take me here for the first time. It was actually pretty delicious, though the ambiance was a bit more active and noisier than I would’ve preferred. Good energy, though, and delicious (albeit on the salty side) food and wine. (https://sentamal.in/check-ins/coopers-hawk-winery/)

Just added ‘View on Silo’ links. Currently it reads a syndication link of a post. If it recognizes the host it will show a link with ‘View on…’ as a title attribute and text. It’d be nicer if it was more actionable than that, but that’s a next step. Also, there’s a mysterious margin on the Timeline for the buttons and I can’t sort out which property is affecting it.

I added taxonomies to my site! To do it I did a bit of creative fooling around (oh murr) with Hugo and the HTML `details` tag to show/hide my site’s sections (called Types on my site) and tags. Next up: show a ‘View on Twitter/Mastodon’ button.

After thinking about the goals I wanted for my online presence, I went to the IndieWeb site and sorted through the process of getting myself on the Indie Web.: https://sentamal.in/articles/start-of-my-indieweb-journey/

Twitter/Mastodon syndication is a little odd. Mainly my check-ins are showing up as photos without `h-geo` information being forwarded, and photo summaries arent showing up as expected. Thinking is required.

Been a while hanging with crew. I don’t do it often, but when I can it’s pretty darn great. This Chili’s, though, offered 2-4-1 drinks at the bar, so it was a good place to chill after work.

Mary and Joseph. Angelfire still exists and offers free websites, except it’s everything from its past glory _plus HTML5_! Why would I need WP/Hugo/Angular/AMP when I could have _Angelfire Site Builder_?!

Finished check-ins. I’m utilizing Leaflet for an interactive map on single pages and a static image as a fallback, for feeds, and for microformat consumption. This brings my list of types of postable content to 6: Check-Ins, Likes, Notes (equivalent to Toots/Tweets, Re-Post-able), Photo (singular, more like Instagram, Re-Post-able), Posts (blog post/article, Re-Post-able), and Replies.

Third day of bad sleep. After working red-eyes consistently, it’s always hard to get back into a normal schedule of things. Been failing at just taking a morning nap and there’s an early show tomorrow. Eff.

I went through some older DAT posts and imported them into my site. Originally I had posts as single DAT archives and only accessible through Beaker Browser. I’ve lost the one-DAT-per-post mentality, but now it’s accessible through whichever means you can reach my URL.

Finished setting up Hugo for my static site. Beforehand I was pretty determined on just doing everything by hand. Until, well, I spent more time updating HTML than creating content. I’m glad I did this sooner than later.

It is proven! I am sentamalin on Keybase: https://keybase.io/sentamalin/sigchain#4478fc3888f16c1ca51aa59a78d1ae2fed64cac6fb0082334e2feace30f293360f
