its been a while since I last came here, and recently, I found out that gematria is the word that refers to this whole practice of adding up letters as "numbers" to see what number words and names yield. I read an article about number 74, and its connections to rapping, Jesus, and Messiah, but for some reason, it left out Susan (another "Suzanne" name), and I learned the word gematria from that article.

even the word gematria itself has its letters add up to number 74. The nth letter cipher is what I favor when I find gematria of a word.

and this rap talk, well, rapper is the exact spelling which adds up to 74, while rapping has 81. But to be fair, the Suzan spelling shares a letter value sum with rapping, so theres that.

Not that I was thinking about using a static site generator, but this is affirming my sense that it's easier to code by hand than use one. Which is wild.

The idea is that USING it will be easy. Initial setup is the pain point (I hope). I would definitely be very selective who I recommended this to.

tried a ssg years ago when i first started using neocities, way too much upfront pain for not enough relief afterwards, in my experience. a few spreadsheets codes i've written to autopopulate things and copy + pasting pages has made hand coding the only approach i'll take now

I think so much of the peoblem with tech documentation is people assuming if it makes sense in their head, it makes sense for everyone. A lot of my job is going "oh! Yeah, that's the blue button, don't worry about the instructions," snark free from my end, that I think there needs to be a revolution in how-tos.

It turns out the documentation is not the only thing I have fundamental issues with. STAY TUNED.

I logged back in my account to get his birthday cupcake, and I was required to read the new rules that require no drug discussion. So he may be a square in real life standards but a good citizen in Neopia.

I've used the garlic emoji once to react on an image of a hamster that looked like garlic on Discord. Me and my friend also used to be obsessed with Burkina Faso in elementary school. Not the country, but just the name of it, because it was so fun to say. I also remember its capital is named Ouagadougou, also very fun to say.

You also made me delve into some hecking research on some of these emojis! I guessed right that since emojis originate from Japan, love hotels have some cultural signifigance there which would explain the emoji's existance. Also eyeball speech bubble is apparently from an anti-bullying campaign 😮

@Harakan I did have to look up the eyeball myself because it was so baffling without context. It's a good sentiment, but it's hard to find any info on how effective it's been.

I summarize 120 chapters of a classic Chinese epic but I get the most engagement from a goofy listicle I threw together in 30 minutes. I suddenly understand why modern journalism is the way it is.

Have you considered a Top 10 "tens" article yet? It would be interesting to see how Base 10 stacks up with binary, or how Roman numerals stack up against Mayan stacks up against Arabic.

I'd be lying if I said that I'm self-concious of the 2020s gallery formats. I just don't want to split it into more pages, and I really can't promise anything like separate OC galleries anytime soon.
