Public Journal	This section explores the concept of maintaining a Public Journal.	true

[!info] This page takes inspiration from the Journal of an Enigmatic Mind. It explores the concept of keeping a public journal, something I haven't done before.

2024

March

• Backed up my past personal websites inside semanticdata.github.io using different branches.
• Currently using Eleventy Vite to publish MiguelPimente.do. The plan is to transition to a new starter I'm working on.
• Refreshed all my notes within Forgetful Notes. Revised the desktop layouts.
• Learning Nunjucks to use it as templating engine within Eleventy.
• Learning about HTTP Headers and how to apply them via vercel.json in the repository root.
  • Mozilla Observatory is my choice to check headers and other security evaluations.
• Took up the One HTML Page Challenge. Find my source code here.
  • This is not a short term project. Planning to add things as I learn, etc.
• I dropped Bulma in favor of TailwindCSS to use in my current project.
  • I'm also using DaisyUI that plays well with TailwindCSS.

February

• Discovered NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day.
• After checking out Astro, I decided it wasn't time to jump into it. For now, using Eleventy feels adequate given my knowledge level. I will definitely give Astro another go, once I am more comfortable with ./Svelte.
• Updated my Obsidian Starter Vault project. Now includes more information about the CSS snippets, community plugins, and general workflows included in it.
• Forked these 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 and 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 in PR #822.

January

• Compiled my GitHub stars in this repo with the help of maguowei/starred.

• Discovered CUBE CSS, Utopia, and buildexcellentwebsit.es.
• Fixed the search module not working in Forgetful Notes.
• Revived Firefox TabSpace. Cleaned the repo and published updated version.

Note

I'm still defining what exactly I should include in the journal. Making sure it's not too technical, or difficult to read.
