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 4 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 4 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 4 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? :-)

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*!

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!

They've got a pencil museum, I'm sure it'll be more fun than arguing about bitcoin on the internet

Or, hey, you could move there, start a pub or something. Probably a more reliable source of income than pictures of monkeys

I almost posted a grovelling "I'm so sorry I haven't updated in three seconds" post here before I remembered... oh, right, it's my own website and there's no algorithm coming to eat me if i don't regularly provide Content

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!)

My apologies for the relative pause in updates; it's been a long week, and the part of my brain that has room for frivolous hobbies has unfortunately drained out of a small hole in the back

I think it might be this? https://jyab.neocities.org/ I had it on my 'Nicæa' page, which I scrapped once I moved off of Neocities as a host.

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

satyrwoud 4 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
