Trying something new. I made a playlist, as a form of diary entry…
Oh my goodness. That took a lot of work, I’d really screwed up in many ways. Broke the Hugo templates; Had simply missed a whole swathe of image references I’d imported from elsewhere AND went down a very fruitful Obsidian / Dataview rabbit hole 🕳 🐇
- Must write up a post about Obsidian & Dataview as a CMS for Hugo.
All done now, as far as I can tell.
Oh good grief. Just found that the alt text part of the site has broken. I’m not sure how long it’s been like this. Fixing!
Hmm, turns out I’m having “ideas” again, which often results in site breakages. Not helped by the fact that Hugo has announced potentially breaking changes in the templating systemgohugo.io - I’m going to try an upgrade and see what happens… wish me luck.
I honestly thought I was going to write many more short things, and I’ve over complicated this. So, I spent some time today under complicating it.
Finally got around to adding some Slash Pagesslashpages.net to my site. Now you can learn about me, what I’m doing now, and then say hello 👋.
I will add some more, eventually, but this is good for now.
Jan 3rd or 4th… what day even is it?
Today have taken the opportunity, whilst recovering from a really nasty ‘flu bug, to fall down the rabbit hole of not one, but two fantastic public domain image sites. There’s the Public Domain Image Archive, which I think is based in the UK.
Explore our hand-picked collection of 10,046 out-of-copyright works, free for all to browse, download, and reuse. This is a living database with new images added every week.
pdimagearchive.organd then Public Work, which seems to be more USA centric.
Public Work is a visual search engine for public domain content. Explore 100,000+ copyright-free images from The MET, New York Public Library, and other sources
public.workI’ll definitely be making the most of some of these incredible images!
