Web Matters
Web apps, themes and stylesheets, plus essays about this whole business.| Felix at Home
This may not sound like much, but as part of my efforts to rebalance the link section I moved a bunch of entries on language history from the linklog to the culture page, among other changes. Makes them easier to take in at a glance, too.| Felix at Home
I'm on a roll these days. Shortly after last time, I have a new website theme out that incorporates a whole bunch of recently learned tricks. I'm not using it yet, so help yourselves!| Felix at Home
It's finally happening! The wiki half of my link directory now has its own identity and goals. I've started dividing topics between it and the rest of the site, to reduce duplication and simplify updates. This will take a while, but it's already looking much better. Plus, it aids with navigation a lot.| Felix at Home
I spent the spring studying various programming languages, and that resulted in a bunch of notes. So why not publish them in one place for everyone to see? I called them "the art of choosing tools". There's not much yet, but it's only the beginning, and I hope you'll find something to like in there. / In other news, my hosting provider has a weird technical problem that prevents me from updating certain sections of the site, like the link log. I'll investigate alternative solutions. Thank you...| Felix at Home
This is backdated 'cause I was too tired on Thursday. After a lot of changes and fixes, Batch Basic now has two editions with different features and requirements. It's also more complete now, and works better than ever. Last but not least, both editions are mirrored on Codeberg for better visibility and feedback, not to mention safekeeping. Say hi!| Felix at Home
I'm a text-oriented person, but sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Problem is, diagramming software is often slow and clumsy. And it's more precise to generate diagrams from a textual description anyway. But ways to do that aren't so widely known, so I made a page about it. Hope this helps!| Felix at Home
After months spent chasing other hobbies, I'm back on my usual bullshit with yet another tool to help people make websites, except a somewhat novel formula for a change: AntiWiki, a mirror universe version of my web app from last August. Click through for more details and an early version to test. Cheers!| Felix at Home
Finally gave up and added a linklog to my web directory, back-filled with about 150 old links. I like how stream-of-consciousness it is: an insight into how news find me. And of course I promptly used it to make a couple of unrelated posts as well, that nobody would care about elsewhere. Pro tip: you're always going to need a sideblog. Set one up. (Also: as of 7 August, this domain name is paid two years in advance for once, so I can update more and worry less for a while. Thanks for sticking...| Felix at Home
This is now my alternate title for the programming language section on this site, that just received a much-needed cleanup. Several projects, in particular Logo interpreters, had their status clarified, obsolete downloads removed, even a new stylesheet where appropriate. There's at least one I plan to revive as well, but no promises until I examine the feasibility. Thanks!| Felix at Home
Not much to say today. Reorganized my bookmark section some; it's now better balanced, and sports new subsections, to help with finding things. Also added more article dates. Cleaned up one dead link, too. There's much more work to do, but it's progress. Thanks for still being with me!| Felix at Home
... is the name of an essay about the state of web design and how we can reclaim it. My answer to a conversation that's been unfolding online over the past few years, and it's still far from done.| Felix at Home
Forgot to post about this: shortly after reviving Clinklog, I buckled down and made another static site generator, this time in Tcl and called Statickle; details on the projects own microsite. Took a break since, but it's quite popular already, and I'm going to need it myself soon, so.| Felix at Home
I should post to this feed more often; it has a surprising number of subscribers. It's just that most updates to the site seem too small to warrant an entry, and the big ones often go to the blog nowadays. But there are exceptions. As of last week, my static site generator Clinklog is back in active development with release 2.0, after a 17-month break. Click through to read about the changes, and hopefully I won't let months pass before updating again.| Felix at Home
This would normally go in the site-wide newsfeed, but for once the blog is a better fit. As of last month, I have three new pages on the site, each holding links on a bunch of different themes. The post explains why they matter to me and why you might like them, so just click through.| Felix at Home
Shortly after updating an old section, I'm back with a whole new one, this time on the programming language Forth. It's occasioned by the first public release of a new project, but also features my philosophy about the subject matter. Thanks for checking it out.| Felix at Home
It's been three years, but my calculator section finally has a new entry. Less original than the others, to be sure, but if you're on Linux and in the mood for trying out a new toy, take a look. Shouldn't take much of your time, seeing how simple it is. Thank you!| Felix at Home
Just popping in briefly to let you know I added a bunch more links to my Basic programming page. Enjoy!| Felix at Home
It took a bit longer because I have a lot more interactive fiction than RPG material, but the former now also lives on the main website. That allowed me to add cover art and screenshots more easily, making for a more visually attractive presence, not to mention downloads that were long missing, and additional text while I was at it. With this, the old wiki is now redundant and can be removed. But more about this in a blog post soon. Thanks for sticking with me.| Felix at Home
How quickly things are going now that I've made a decision. As of yesterday, my tabletop and play-by-post RPG material also has its own section on the main website instead of the old wiki page. Just finished migrating what little content there was this morning. Well, there's also my old sci-fi setting that I thought lost, and now lives again (in a discreet out of the way corner), but thankfully that was easy to put back. See if you can find it!| Felix at Home
Having recently discovered a new CMS called Bludit, that I promptly put to good use, figured it was a good time to bring back my older theme Newsprint and give it a new life. Take a look if you like; I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.| Felix at Home
I finally got around to bringing Tinycat Basic over from GitHub, but couldn't really do it without first changing some things. Bugfixes, proper packaging and a new implementation all round out this release. Check it out!| Felix at Home
Having failed to announce the last big updates to the site, it occurred to me that sometimes this feed isn't the best communication channel. For this and other reasons, that you'll find described there, I also started a blog section. It's not yet linked from the homepage, and it's not going to replace this feed (yet). Hopefully it will prove useful anyway. Enjoy, and thanks for reading.| Felix at Home
I haven't updated this site nearly as much as intended after making it easier, but still more often than before. This time with a new section on Basic interpreters, part of my campaign to get rid of GitHub. It's nowhere near complete yet, and I want to do something else before returning to it, but now the foundation is in place. And hey, my new website theme is working out all right, so that's a plus.| Felix at Home
I'm writing these lines to apologize for the prolonged silence. Due to my recent focus on game development, I've had little to post here, apart from my recent essay on the importance of plain old webpages (see the link). Hoping to have more in 2018, unless I lose the domain name, which is sadly possible. But for now, enjoy what's left of the holidays, and see you around!| Felix at Home
It is done. The old CMS is finally offline, leaving only the wiki and static sections of the website. Now I'm free to make further improvements piecemeal, with less pressure, and that's just one advantage. Long live the good tradition of hand-coded HTML.| Felix at Home
