January 2026 redesign (ChangeLog)

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 09:49:53 +0000

I am not sure what I will play with this year. I might dig in heavy with mastheads as I am kinda slacked off on them over the last couple years. Of course the css code will be based on last years template but I feel like going harder this year. hard and done. we will see.

I am using the starfield colours as base then seeing where I go from there. I think I have done pretty much every design I could with this html layout though I still find some bugs here and there. It more about function. Its always been about function. Function over design. Most of these designs could have been done 20 years ago with old tech but tastes and times change - monitors get bigger. The design is more a sign of the times than my own personal taste.

I do try to mix it up a bit but there is only so much I can do. Mixing colours, borders and padding with a eye catching masthead (rip dooce.com ). I have a page for the old mastheads - surprisingly I did not create any ones in 2025 even though I was making lots of photos. Modern CSS has added light/dark mode and mobile/widescreen layouts that I need to always consider. On older browsers it simply defaults to the standard layout with the sidebar pushed to the footer. It works seamlessly which is a rare thing in modern tech.

House Every Weekend (Logbook)

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 10:09:07 +0000

It is Christmas again and I am taking it low key as I usually do. trying not to die in a car accident. I think the overall reward of getting older is the ability to focus and free yourself from mental slavery. The downside is that my world view is so wide that I need to juggle too many things in life while time is finite. It is an immense achievement when I actually complete anything significant. I complete little things but perfectionism makes the state of completeness even more elusive as my standards get higher by the second.

I am losing track of the projects I have put off that are sleeping in my back burner. As the world gets tighter and the build environment changes I am forced to adapt to things I thought I had escaped in my earlier life and now things just move fast. Now I am here again in this space and time on the edge of a new year. A continuation of an old year and 4 months before a new birthday. Hear we go again.

Oh my camera died recently which is probably the reason I am able to actually put pen to paper, keyboard to screen. I will try to do as much as I can before I buy a new camera because I will buy a new one - I love photography too much. Too much that it might be killing me softly with its song. There wont be many best of lists at the end of this year. of course I will still do some of the foundational stuff but I will, hopefully, spend the last couple days in 2025 picking up speed.
