I get that different people have different needs. I for one am perfectly happy with the way Micro.blog works. I have enabled cross-posting and it just works.
The only thing actually broken for me is iOS notifications. I simply don’t get any.
I now have my own Python module to write Safari WebArchives. Neat. And not too hard to implement.
So now Links also saves a WebArchive copy and triggers a Wayback savepoint.
Would you believer it? Not a single mention since I installed the Micro.blog beta build with a fix for notifications. Help me out here folks. Give me some love.
I rewrote my webcatcher Python script yesterday. It is now leaner, meaner and more resilient against failed downloads. Links is coming together nicely. Pretty much all that is left is a nicer CSS for mobile devices and a web daemon so I can send stuff to Links from my iPhone.
Trying to decide between Trafilatua, Newspaper 4K and Readabilty for my Markdown and PDF creation.
Links Update
Links, my barebones bookmark and archival solution is slowly getting better.
Today I redid the CSS or started to. I still need to reimplement breakpoints for smaller devices.
Also I finally put the project under Git version control. Version control really is a godsend. The initial learning curve is not nothing. But once you get it, it’s awesome.
I still need to polish the Python script a bit and make it more error resilient.
Please help me find good anime
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.
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.
