I'm still defining what exactly I should include in this journal. I'm currently making sure it's not too technical, or difficult to read. ## 2024 ### March - Backed up my past personal websites inside [semanticdata.github.io](https://github.com/semanticdata/semanticdata.github.io) using different branches. It now sits with a few other previous personal websites and blogs. - Currently using [Eleventy Vite](https://github.com/matthiasott/eleventy-plus-vite) to publish [MiguelPimente.do](https://miguelpimentel.do). The plan is to transition to a new starter I'm working on. - Refreshed all my notes within [Forgetful Notes](https://forgetfulnotes.com/). Revised the desktop layouts. - Learning [Nunjucks](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/) to use it as templating engine within [Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev/). - Revisited my [GitHub Stars](https://github.com/semanticdata/github-stars). Removed a lot of unused ones and added the interesting ones to my [Raindrop.io](https://rindrop.io) [public page](https://raindrop.io/SemanticData). The rest can be found in [this repository](https://github.com/semanticdata/github-stars). - Learning about [HTTP Headers](https://vercel.com/docs/edge-network/headers) and how to apply them via `vercel.json` in the repository root. - [Mozilla Observatory](https://observatory.mozilla.org/) is my choice to check headers and other security evaluations. - Took up the [One HTML Page Challenge](onehtmlpagechallenge.com). Find my source code [here](https://github.com/semanticdata/one-html-page-challenge). - This is not a short term project. Planning to add things as I learn, etc. - I dropped [Bulma](https://bulma.io/) in favor of [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) to use in my current project. - I'm also using [DaisyUI](daisyui.com/) that plays well with TailwindCSS. ### February - Discovered NASA's [Astronomy Picture of the Day](https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/). - After checking out [Astro](https://astro.build/), I decided it wasn't time to jump into it. For now, using [Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev/) feels adequate given my knowledge level. I will definitely give Astro another go, once I am more comfortable with [[Svelte|Svelte]]. - Updated my [Obsidian Starter Vault](https://github.com/semanticdata/obsidian-starter-vault) project. Now includes more information about the CSS snippets, community plugins, and general workflows included in it. - Forked these [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) [Minimal theme](https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-minimal) [CSS Snippets](https://github.com/replete/obsidian-minimal-theme-css-snippets). - Added new CSS Snippets to my vault. I'll probably end up posting them later. - Republished my personal website using [Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev/) and [elva](https://github.com/scottsweb/elva). Moved the site to `semanticdata.github.io`. It is currently deployed with Vercel. Will use a different starter and drop `elva` soon. - Contributions: - Added Spanish translations for [Quartz](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz) in [PR #822](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/pull/822). ### January - Archived many of my inactive GitHub repositories. - Compiled my GitHub stars in [this repo](https://github.com/semanticdata/github-stars) with the help of [maguowei/starred](https://github.com/maguowei/starred). - Submitted Spanish translations for [gethyas/doks-core](https://github.com/gethyas/doks-core). - Started playing around with [11ty](https://www.11ty.dev/). Taking a look at [Eleventy Excellent](https://github.com/madrilene/eleventy-excellent), and [Eleventy Garden](https://github.com/binyamin/eleventy-garden). - Learned about [Astro](https://astro.build/). I'm playing around with it and some website starters. - Discovered [CUBE CSS](https://cube.fyi/), [Utopia](https://utopia.fyi/), and [buildexcellentwebsit.es](https://buildexcellentwebsit.es/). - Fixed the search module not working in [Forgetful Notes](https://github.com/semanticdata/forgetful-notes). - Revived [Firefox TabSpace](https://github.com/semanticdata/firefox-tabspace). Cleaned the repo and published updated version. ## 2023 ### December - Finally visited the [Dominican Republic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic) after more than 8 years without going. - Learned about [Bulma](https://bulma.io/) and testing it out as CSS framework. - Republished my [website](https://github.com/semanticdata/semanticdata.github.io) with [serene](https://github.com/isunjn/serene). - Renamed Zola Dinkleberg to [Zola Guava](https://github.com/semanticdata/zola-guava). - Published new Firefox extension: - [ChatGPT in the Sidebar](https://github.com/semanticdata/firefox-chatgpt-in-sidebar) - [New Tab Notes](https://github.com/semanticdata/firefox-new-tab-notes) - Submitted new Zola Themes: - [Mabuya](https://github.com/semanticdata/mabuya) - [Zola Minimal](https://github.com/semanticdata/zola-minimal) ### November - Ported the Chrome extension [Text Revealer](https://github.com/jamigibbs/text-revealer-chrome-extension) to Firefox. - Updated my [Obsidian Starter](https://github.com/semanticdata/obsidian-starter-vault) vault. - Playing around with [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/), and [Milkdown](https://milkdown.dev/). - Republished my old blog in Spanish: [Prose Poetry](https://github.com/semanticdata/prose-poetry). - Recently found the canonical blog I wrote in 2010 and republished it. - Contributions: - Fixed bug outlined in [Issue #18](https://github.com/getzola/book/issues/18) in [Zola Book](https://github.com/getzola/book). - Added dark theme and toggle to the [Anpu Zola](https://github.com/zbrox/anpu-zola-theme) theme.
