Infinite Ink’s To-⁠Do, Doing, and Done Lists⁠👷‍♀️
Updated 2021-June-15

Created #intellij Portal.

Continuing to learn IntelliJ IDEA, which, so far, I like a lot.⁠😎

Started using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, rather than Visual Studio Code, as my primary IDE.

Created #messaging Portal.

In the midst of removing 🚪 🚧 and 🤓 from the top navigation bars (because they make it too noisy).

Continuing to convert my old articles to the new version of the Infinite Ink website.

Updated Asciidoctor and Ruby, and wrote about how I did that in Infinite Ink’s Scoop: A Windows Package Manager (Featuring Hugo, Figlet, & Ruby Examples).

Started including a See also section in some articles, including this article.

Appended a woman construction worker emoji (👷‍♀️) to this article’s title.

Migrating my tumblelog.sh bash script from WSL to Git Bash (which is part of Git for Windows).

In the More Infinite Ink Pages section near the bottom of some pages, bolding the portals that are especially relevant to the current page.

Continuing to convert my Deflexion.com and nancym.tumblr.com articles to AsciiDoc and publish them here at Infinite Ink.

Experimenting with the following three emoji in the top and bottom navigation bars and wondering if anyone understands their meanings?!  🚪 🚧 🤓

Added an Elsewhere “sideblog” (aka “link blog”) to the bottom of some pages, including this page.

Changed the format of the published and updated fragments near the bottom of most pages so it now includes information about where it was originally published and if it is a fork from someone else.

Using the Pandoc Universal Document Converter to convert the source of some of my Deflexion.com articles from HTML to AsciiDoc.

Using Kramdoc or Pandoc to convert the source of some of my Tumblr articles from PHP Markdown Extra to AsciiDoc.

Added awesome-indexed.mathew-davies.co.uk to the search engines on the portals.

In the midst of changing the zeitgeist flag from ⚡ to ⭐ on the portals.

On some portals, for example the #git-bash Portal, added quoted search strings so that the search engines will (maybe) search for a phrase.

On some pages with comments, changed section title from Please edit this page 👍👎📝 to Comments 👍👎📝.

On some portals, experimenting with including something like “portal built 2021-June-15” in the footer. Since the build date is not necessarily the last-update date, I’m not sure how useful this date is.

On the #zeitgeist Portal, pinned some links to the top of the Links section. I use Hugo’s weight page variable to do this.

After a long break, I’m tweeting at twitter.com/alefsym again. This is where I tweet about nerdy things, including news about at Infinite Ink.

On some portals, experimenting with section headings that say how many links are in that section.

On some pages, including this page, experimenting with a Meta & Navigator heading in the footer.

On some pages, changed the section titled Related pages to Related pages and portals and updated the relevant shortcode.

On most pages, including the home page, added links to a bunch of portals in the footer. I think of this as Infinite Ink’s “portal cloud,” which is analogous to a tag cloud.

On pages with comments, changed section title from “Edit this page 📝” to “Please edit this page 👍👎📝” and removed the blurb about needing a GitHub account.

On some portals, for example the #asciidoc Portal, experimenting with sidecar.gitter.im.

Converting all portals to the new portal layout, which includes a TOC, sometimes a decorative image, sometimes embedded Twitter timelines, and a portal cloud in the footer.

Experimenting with links to all other portals in the footer of some portals.

Updated my tumblelog.cmd batch script so it now invokes wsl.exe rather than bash.exe -c. This is better for a couple reasons.

Started using Symbola font for some elements of this website, for example the door character (🚪) in the navigators and the pins (📍) on the list of portals.

On pages with comments, changed section title from “Edit this page👍👎📝” to “Edit this page 📝”

Experimenting with embedding a Twitter timeline on some portals, for example on the #webdev Portal.

In Infinite Ink’s config.yaml, experimenting with the new (as of Hugo v0.74.0) markup.asciidocExt site variable, for example with the following:

markup:
 asciidocExt:
  preserveTOC: true
  workingFolderCurrent: false  # default is false
  attributes:
   toc: macro
   hide-uri-scheme: true@  # trailing @ means ok to override
   sectlinks: true
   huri-config-vars: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/
   huri-page-vars: https://gohugo.io/variables/page/
   huri-site-vars: https://gohugo.io/variables/site/
   huri-file-vars: https://gohugo.io/variables/files/

On pages with comments, changed section title from “Edit this page👍👎✍” to “Edit this page👍👎📝”

In the midst of flagging any portal link that I regularly visit with ⚡, which I hope looks kind of like a "z" (for zeitgeist)

Created #zeitgeist Portal

Changed title of Hugo Tips and Fragments to Hugo Tips, Shortcodes, and Fragments

Experimenting with including an image on some portals, including the #gohugo, #golang, and #vim portals.

Experimenting with the styling of the list of links on the #tumblelog Portal. At the moment, domain.name:  uses one of the many shades of grey for its color. While doing these experiments, I’ve learned about Hugo’s replaceRE function.

Changed typewriter apostrophe (') to typesetter’s apostrophe (’) in Infinite Ink article titles. For example, this article’s title is now Infinite Ink’s To-⁠Do, Doing, and Done Lists⁠👷‍♀. I was inspired to do this because of problems with my tumblelog.cmd batch file, but I think it’s the right thing to do anyway.

Changed title of qutebrowser's config.py to qutebrowser’s Template config.py.

Created #twitter-list Portal, which lists some of @nm’s Twitter lists. And — for the first time — used Hugo data templates.👏

Changed title of “qutebrowser Fragments and Tips” to “qutebrowser Tips and Fragments” so maybe it will show up in search engine results when someone searches for "qutebrowser tips" with bing.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, etc.🙏

Changed title of “Hugo Fragments and Tips” to “Hugo Tips and Fragments” so maybe it will show up in search engine results when someone searches for "hugo tips" with bing.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, etc.🙏

Pinned 📍#tumblelog Portal to the bottom of the list of portals

Changed title of qutebrowser Tips to Getting Started with qutebrowser (because I created a new page titled qutebrowser Fragments and Tips)

Changed title of 12 Hugo Fragments to Hugo Fragments and Tips

Created Hugo shortcode called related-pages and added a Related pages section to some pages

Moved most of Hugo Tutorial’s 19.2. Learn about Hugo bundles to a new separate article titled Introduction to Hugo Bundles.

Created 19.2. Learn about Hugo bundles in the Hugo Tutorial.

On pages with comments, changed section title from “Comments and reactions💬” to “Edit this page👍👎✍”

Moved 📍#meta Portal to the top of the list of Portals (because “meta” is above all).

Added fragments to and changed title of Hugo Fragments. Its new title (in April-2020) was 10 Hugo Fragments

In Hugo Tutorial's News section, added a blurb about significant updates to that page.

Changed top-of-page and bottom-of-page links to ⊤⁠op of page and ⊥ (and wondering if this is too nerdy🤓︎)

Created 17.5.2. taxonomies🏷 and 17.5.3. Case sensitivity of variables in Hugo Tutorial: Themeless & Gitless Introduction to the Hugo Static Site Generator

Change top right navigation bar so it now says Portals  ⍌

On pages with footnotes, change section title from “Notes” to “Endnotes”

On pages with comments, change section title from “Discussion and reactions” to “Comments and reactions💬”

Change title of “TGIH: Themeless & Gitless Introduction to Hugo” to “Hugo Tutorial: Themeless & Gitless Introduction to Hugo” so maybe it will show up in search engine results when someone searches for "hugo tutorial" with bing.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, etc.🙏

Create #meta Portal and pin (📍) a link to it near the top of the list of Portals

Change top right navigation bar so it now says Portals  About  ⍌ (where ⍌ is a link to “scroll to bottom of page” but I wonder if anyone understands that???)

Change layout of article metadata (permalink, dates, copyright, portals) in article footers, but I don’t know if I like this new design🤔

on pages with comments, change section title from "Discussion and feedback" to "Discussion and reactions"

new favicon/logo

Change most #tag pages so they are now #portal pages

In #portal pages, make the bottom navigation bar be previous portal | home | next portal

Change top navigation bar so it now says: Portals  Meta (instead of about  connect  tags)

Change bottom navigation bar (previous|home|next) so it flows and aligns better on small screens. (After a lot of FAILed CSS3, flexbox, and float experiments, I am using an HTML5 table to do this😱︎)
