Turns out I actually got one more entry in my inbox than I thought I did — my apologies to our forthcoming concerned conservationist for missing them out in the first count!

This has the side effect of bumping our final submission up to the winter solstice, which is nice

IO SATURNALIA! I only received four submission, but I'm quite happy with that — that's four more than I was expecting! They’ll be drip-fed through over the next couple of days

The Satyrs’ Forest 🍇

I’ve been meaning to give the site a “proper” name other than just “Marijn’s site” — catch is, of course, my site is bilingual, and a name which sounds perfectly mellifluous in one language might sound clunky and forced in the other

satyrwoud 3 years ago

I would have gone with just “The Forest”, by analogy with “The Garden”, but that was taken about a thousand times over already

satyrwoud 3 years ago

I’d post all this meta natter on The Garden but i don’t want to fall into the trap of “blogging without blogging”, as it were (http://www.dirtyfeed.org/2021/12/on-not-writing/)

"Marijn's site" is perfect, for you are Marijn and this site is indeed nobodys but yours.

satyrwoud 3 years ago

I’m just future-proofing here — i’ve already changed my name once before; who says i won’t do it again in the future? :-)

brennholz 3 years ago

This bilingual issue could be solved by not thinking of your site as a location like a "forest" or whatever. Instead, think of it as a living being, since those have names that don't have to be translated, like Gregory. Like instead of "Marijn's site", it'd be "Gregory", the site of Marijn. (This is a terrible idea)

If Tim Berners-Lee didn't want us to think of websites as places in cyberspace, he shouldn't have called them *sites*!

raelhbishop 3 years ago

Well, sites in real life change too, not unlike living beings. Times Square in New York City looks nothing like it did a hundred years ago, or a thousand or a million for that matter. Byzantium became Constantinople became Istanbul. That being said, I feel 'marijn's site' works best as its name - it's short, it's simple, it's all-encompassing.

Most of the books I've read in translation have a different title on the translated edition! You could have a different mellifluous title for each language!

This was meant to be just a quick minimal thing, but i couldn’t help myself — I’ve implemented a fancy theme selector.

(“On the Gods and the World” is technically available, but still needs a bit of sprucing up to meet the house style / be readable (did they not have paragraphs in 1793?) — you have been warned!)

Sidenotes on the blog are still a little borked — sorry about that!

satyrwoud 3 years ago

Also, if you're on Firefox, you might have to muck around in about:config and set "layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled" to true to get the CSS filters working right — if you’re on anything else, it’ll work by default, thankfully
