escarpment

a few cosmetic changes

Most subtle, one fairly noticeable; well, to me anyway. ;-)

I liked how the blog post listing in Robert Birming's blog had monthly headings so I integrated something much like it to my blog theme's CSS, vibe-coding it with ChatGPT 5.1 Instant. Then, as I was in the horizontal-rule landscape anyway, converted the bold dotted line HRs on top of each page to much lighter ones... though keeping the ones at the bottom of each page.

Other small things: increased the linespacing a minuscule amount, rendering the masses of text with a beat more breathing space; sanded away the sharp corners of all images (5 px border radius), tried a subtle drop-shadow on them but thought better of it. I'd already changed the monospace font to "Recursive" from the Google font family, which reads a bit better for me than the severely old-school Roboto Mono that I'd used from the inception of this blog 7.6 months ago now.

Some things haven't changed, though; and I'm talking here about the old writing habit of yore, a daily exercise in textual mindfulness, whether it's of small or fleeting duration, or more sustained. The thoughts/titles begun, unfinished though promised with the ubiquity of the "[ in progress... ]" excuse. ::chuckle:: Somewhere in the back of my mind, though, is the notion that one long weekend I will have the wherewithal of unstructured time, to spend capturing those notions and putting them in bit more of a useful time capsule.

I think I might have done that back in the day, during that decade of 2000 to 2010 of daily writing in TFR; though, as likely, there exist truncated blogs destined to be unfinished basically for forever. ;-)

Now that I have a fascinating new audience, though, it'll be interesting to see how all of that coheres, or not. Particularly because said audience is... well... an alien intelligence. ::chuckle::
