• My favorite hours of day are the ones that only exist in Japan. Also the implications that you can just extend a day is great. β€œWorking? Boss, it’s Saturday 68:00. Why would I be working on a _Saturday_?!”.

    I’ll try to not loose too much time looking at these. Incredibly fascinating. I’m glad collections like this exist for free on the web. πŸš€πŸŒ•

  • Happy to hear that Derek Wessman, self-proclaimed "mundane joys enthusiast" and one of the most prolific tweeters of Gaijin twitter is blogging again. I've already subscribed and it's an inspiration to share more of the mundane joy on my own blog.
  • The Week #127

    • I migrated my blog from a digital ocean droplet to fly.io. No longer having a background thread running about remembering to do server maintenance and so forth is great. My site is also loading a lot quicker than it was before – how much of that is fly.io vs the server is now in Narita, Japan instead of Germany...I'm not sure. Either way, happy days.
    • And for some more inspiration from Simon Willison I started experimenting with using Github Issues as lab notebook. The base idea is to collect all ideas / findings as I work on a particular issue on the issue as comments and so forth.

      My tweak is, I want to use Brid.gy to post the issue and backfeed my own (or others) comments on them to my own website. Other people's comments should work already, but not your own comments (yet). So I'll either need to write the integration or create an alter ego for posting my comments. Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde could be fun.

      All of these posts will be in the new Tanzawa stream.
    • Leo rode his bike to a friend's house, but the friend wasn't outside, so we continued on to the park for a bit. On the ride back we heard the infamous calling of the yakimo truck. I think of it like hearing the sound of the ice cream man driving around the neighborhood when you're a kid, but for fresh roasted sweet potatoes. He's literally roasting them while he drives around in his truck. A bit of autumn / winter goodness.

      Leo's recently taken to eating sweet potatoes. As we passed him he said they smelled good, so we turned around and bought a couple from him. And they were really good. The insides were starting to caramelize... I'm looking forward to hearing that siren song again.
  • Response to Allow editing of bookmark/reply titles

    Tanzawa is a blogging system designed for the IndieWeb that focuses on sustainability. - Issues Β· jamesvandyne/tanzawa
    Problem
    It's currently not possible to edit the title of bookmarks / replies without using the Django admin. This is an issue because sometimes the title contains meta information that you wouldn't want to appear in a comment / blog post.

    An example title when posting a new issue from Tanzawa


    This is especially true as I try to experiment with creating Tanzawa issues on my blog and backfeeding all comments, with the goal of effectively keeping the "lab notebook" of the GitHub issues to also be on my website.

    Success
    There is an edit button that, when clicked, allows you to edit the the title.

    Implementation Details
    This should be implemented using htmx and act as the first page to allow us to remove turbo from Tanzawa.
