    december adventure - is a low key thingy by eli oat. the goal is to choose a project - and work on it in a relaxed pace.

    -

    in this year's decadv i want to work on a project that - i've been postponing for too long now. i'm fascinated - by scripts and writing aystems, both natural and - constructed. over the years i've accumulated a few - writing systems of my own. sadly, i haven't found the - time to document them, but this year i want to try to - change this.

    -

    in particular, i want not only to document each writing - system, but to make a computer font for each one.

    +i've seen some posts on the fediverse that reminded me of something. +i refactored the html of this log so that it conforms to +the journal spec +by m15o. this means we can get atom feed for free! +i've also written a library for parsing html journals. why? i don't know, felt like it. +there is already original implementation, and i won't say it's inferior or something, +but i noticed that it behaves a bit differently than is +specified in the format. +i wrote a little tool that can be used to make a feed from +html journal file. i've added it to my build script. +my library recognizes a subset of html journal formats, +i've tested it on some other people's journals, some of them don't work. +but i think that if it works with my library, it'll work +with the original as well. +anyway, it was fun. +

    this day i spent time with friends. we went to a flower market (or a festival, i am not sure how these things are named, flower event). plants were nice, but the place they choose to host such event wasn't fit for it. there were narrow spaces between stands, and there were quite a lot of vizitors, so to see anything or even go through one had to push through people. -

    no writing systems related stuff today, alas. - but i've worked on improving my websiting experience.

    -

    i wanted to rebuild this website without any automation - (yeah, this is third time i redo this, but now i literally - write html by hand). - although, i thought, that maybe having cross-links displayed - at the bottom of pages is not that bad. so i added some - shell stuff so these lists could be generated. - i try not to worry too much about how well does it do.

    -

    initially, i went with straightforward O(n²) approach - (for each file, for each link, search each file for that link). - but then it occured to me that basically outgoing links, - which are much easier to find can be set as incoming links - to targeting pages.

    -

    oh, by the way, the repo is available on my git: - site sources.

    css is a bit questionable, but i'll tweak it more as i go.
