Been fixing up a few things. What happened? You didn’t get a bunch at once did you?

oh boy did i - https://nohappynonsense.net/images/readprojrss.jpg

I'm not 100% clear on RSS feed updates being pushed, but I thiiiiink if you change the GUID or if you enter a link address that isn't in the feed already it will send the item as an update

Sorry. I’ve had to delete lines from all my files that call on a specific favicon, so that whatever is in the root directory is used by default. A new thing I learned. So I was looking at RSS because the favicon wasn’t changing in the RSS feeds from what I saw. In doing that I saw that I had a mistake in a line (a missing angle bracket). I fixed it. And then you got mass updated.

I always add a new RSS item after every review. Have you not been receiving updates until this happened?

i haven't noticed any updates from readingproj in a little while, no. maybe the missing bracket was creating a incomplete feed? do you test your feed after an update?

I tested it after updating today and I will in the future. The thing is, the feed was still working on the program I use so I had no idea there was a problem

i use a website that sends RSS updates to an email inbox of my choice as opposed to a feed reader; it's possible that the website i use has stricter guidelines for acceptable feeds that their code will detect and send? but i remember a while back realizing i hadn't seen RSS updates from readingproj in a while and i just figured you had stopped updating the feed intentionally

No. RSS was your gift to me and I update it religiously

i guess that bracket makes the difference then!

thank you! i write down any idea that i think sounds interesting and when i pick one to work on i just go with and don't worry if it's not perfect.

uno reverse?

Remember, this is rewarding.

Still better than a techbrp who gpt chatGTP to do i

Techbro* do it* serves me rught for typing on a bumpy bus rode on my phone lol

should've used chatgpt to write your snarky AI comment

What I meant to say was "Still better [to hand code] than be like a techbro who got chatGTP to do it for you. Snark is at people who code with AI not people who hand code

I always love these little vignettes

thanks, Poly!

ugh this hit me a bit, i had a dream with a similar vibe about my granddad recently

maybe the vibes went through dreamworld, ghost

really since 1997 when i first started making garbage sites but for the purpose of this post lets call it 2019

I feel that. I love the artistry of code, but my low-tech, hacked together skills are functional enough for conveying some semblance of meaning, so I often skip on a more refined presentation as a result.

I dig the simplified layout you've got going on. But I'm kind of a brutalist with these things

all designed in favor of my limited skillset and how easy it is to update everything
