For example, I do write <i>a lot</i> as 27 I do journaling. But writing a blog post or an article is longer, and usually, it is 28 happening in my <code>org</code> folders. 29 </p> 30 31 <p> 32 I am currently trying to re-organize a bit the website and my publishing workflow to 33 reduce as much as possible the “noise” between when and what I write and when and where it 34 is published. I think I’ve been inspired by <a href="https://joelhooks.com/digital-garden">Joel’s digital garden</a> article. 35 </p> 36 37 <blockquote> 38 <p> 39 For as long as I’ve been writing words on the internet, I’ve connected the words that I create in a paginated chronological format. This is the “traditional” blog style website. A linear newest-first sorted chronologically oriented list of posts. 40 </p> 41 42 <p> 43 I’m convinced that paginated posted sorted chronologically fuckin’ sucks. 44 </p> 45 46 <p> 47 What makes a garden is interesting. It’s personal. Things are organized and orderly, but with a touch of chaos around the edges. 48 </p> 49 50 <p> 51 Just like plants in the garden I’ve got posts that are in various stages of growth and nurturing. Some might wither and die, and others (like this one you are reading) will flourish and provide a source of continued for the gardener and folks in community that visit 👋 52 </p> 53 54 <p> 55 Chronologically sorted pages of posts aren’t how people actually use the internet. 56 </p> 57 </blockquote> 58 59 <p> 60 I am also going to re-design a little bit (as little as possible really) to be even more 61 aligned with my current “thoughts”. And there, I am taking inspiration from <a href="https://www.la-grange.net/">La Grange</a> from 62 <a href="https://www.la-grange.net/karl/">Karl Dubost</a>. Karl keeps the “design” (or style or whatever) of its page as they are / were 63 when he is published the content. This means, a page written 10 years ago, will be 64 rendered the same (<i>with devil in details if the browser changed something or course</i>), 10 65 years ago or now. And, <i>for some reason</i>, this is <b>really</b> appealing to me. I am slowing 66 and incrementally trying to achieve that. Also, <i>note</i> that the redesign is very subtle 67 as, the more I am looking at the current theme, the more most of it seems good enough for me. 68 </p> 69 70 <p> 71 I am also making sure I keep an <a href="../sandbox.html">sandbox</a> page always <mark>up-to-date</mark>. 72 </p> 73 </div> 74 </section> 75 </main> 76 <footer id="postamble" class="status"> 77 <footer> 78 <small><a href="/" rel="history">Index</a> • <a href="/sitemap.html">Sitemap</a> • <a href="https://dl.sbr.pm/">Files</a></small><br/> 79 <small class='questions'>Questions, comments ?
