My son is into anime these days. But he’s watching what I can only describe as garbage.

Either it’s Pokémon style stuff like Hunter x Hunter. People standing around discussing attack modifiers and just a whiff off a story.

Or it’s full bosomed schoolgirls giggling into the camera.

Are there no modern anime with proper story and at least a modicum of style?

In my day I was watching stuff like Princess Mononoke, Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D to name a few. Is there nothing liked that out there today on Amazon Prime or Crunchyroll?

And boom goes the FDP.

I spent most of today setting up Sublime Text and PyLint. Also researched what alternatives there are to Sphinx.

I also studied some of my old code to remember how to do things like setting up a proper logger and traceback.

It’s a little frustrating that I already knew all this once.

First version of Links is online! It is still missing a few things and needs more polish, but it works.

I just checked Links v1.0.0 into my Git repository. Almost ready to deploy!

Just a quick reminder that I have an Etsy store with unused designs from past projects. They make great presents for the holidays. Especially the gnome ones.

Also on orders of €50 or more you will get 25% off for the next two weeks.

Slow progress on Links today. I didn’t have much time and spent what little I had chasing syntax errors. Here’s to a more successful tomorrow. I’m planning on getting my delete function working, add per user link databases, and add a dummy links collection for when you are not signed in.

Programming can be really annoying when you are having a dense moment. I was searching for a syntax error for probably two hours all in all only to have someone else tell me I was missing a bracket somewhere. Sigh.

Current status of Links, my barebones bookmark and archival tool:

• creating links via the site works
• the site now also offers a Markdown preview
• Markdown and PDF are saved as cleaned up versions

Still to do:

• make the archive script more robust
• delete links from the website
• some CSS design work

My lack of PHP knowledge makes me run against walls in my little website project. I am making headway, but slowly. Had a little breakthrough just now. I’d love to continue, but need to take a break and prepare lunch.

sag mal spinn ich oder hatte die Feeds Liste mal Favicons? Ich hab schon alle Settings durch und finde aber nichts was das Fehlen erklären könnte.

I am getting closer to a working version of my own little bookmarking/archiving project. I tried Archivebox, Linkwarden, linkding and of course Pinboard and Raindrop. None of them quite did what I wanted. So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.

Current state:

• save a given URL as PDF, Markdown and Web Archive (Warco)
• a basic website displaying the saved links with a URL and a summary of the site as well as links to the archived files.

It is very bare bones right now, but it works. Also, and this is one of the big pluses for me, no tags, no categories. Just a list of links.

To be done:

• CSS styling of the link list
• a way to add links from the site
• a way to add links on the go
• a way to delete links on the site
• search

Have I mentioned how awesome @hallo@uberspace.social is recently? No? Well, they are awesome!

O2 developed an AI grandma called Daisy. Daisy is made to keep phone scammers talking to her, wasting the scammers time. Brilliant!

My new water rower. It is great fun to use and our son loves it too. Since he usually is a couch potato this is a huge win for us.
