Notes

As I mentioned I am trying to use this blog more and post links to Mastodon i liked the idea of RSS but it seems my current settings don’t show a preview for images as the link share does. So that’s next…

This night I seemed to have spend more time awake than asleep, it is now nearly 06:00. It happens to most now and then I guess.. For me it is becomming more common, and I end up recharging in the day with a couple of naps. Tonight the random nerve pains I am blessed with were particularly bad and so sleep eluded me even more than usual.

I have noticed a distinct decline in interactions on Mastodon recently, the last and only social media platform I still use. The number of followers and the number of responders is markedly different. It always was but recently I feel it has become even more one sided. I assume most of the followers are just looking for follow back and so aren’t interacting anyway. This was the same on Twitter, and other platforms I used in the past. I don’t do follow to follow back, I am not in it for the numbers but rather the interaction. ...

I will do a post for this later but the crux of it is: {{ /* range $pages */ }}

I just had a hiccup with HUGO on WSL after a modification to the site templates. Turns out the WSL version was a fair bit behind the Windows version that called for the modifications. So update the Sub-Systems as well as the main OS.

In lieu of posting a long post about possible posts and ideas thereof I copped out and went with a quick note instead. Also I want to check a few things in my post workflow and linking from Mastodon in particular. Previews are inconsistent on there but that is beyond my range of influence.

On Mac there is a shortcut to enter fractional elements in text, for example a 1⁄2 is: 1 ALT SHIFT 2 So Numerator then alt shift then Denominator.

I was in the process of editing the Note Creation app I wrote a while back, and then realised I only need edit the Post Creation app. That saved me some time and means I can now add a description - a small title - to the notes I post. Next I want to add a Tag option to the dialog, either as a checkbox or a dropdown…

After some playing around with the website blog configurations and looking at the variations I am keeping the Notes and Books as separate entities

After a couple of months of having a separate note section on here I am wondering if I really need it as a distinct entity. Perhaps just use the posts and use the category tag as a filter…
