  Joe Project Updates It’s fun to see the last 30 days and the last 23 years side by side. See #3 below: GitHub.com/artlung was updated to include a README file. I updated by Tilde Club site: tilde.club/~artlung/ The landing page of the site is no longer the blog. Instead, it’s an overview with various pages and projects. See:...

  Comment like you’re going to read it in 5 years. April Wensel wrote, in her latest newsletter from Compassionate Coding: Before you add an obscure cultural reference or quirky inside joke to code, though, I implore you to think of the poor developer who may be wading through your code a decade (or a few months) later. I’m a fan of April‘s work. Her newsletter...

  During my sabbatical I’ve learned a lot. One of the things I’ve done is made it easier to create new pages on my website at artlung dot com. I use #WordPress with a theme and plugins I wrote myself. I’ve got 20 years of posts and photos and it’s easy for it to get lost. So yesterday I made a page that I can update periodically, and as I add new cosplays, for example with a hashtag of #qcosplay it will show up on this page. My intent is to show off more of my PHP development, comics, drawings, and toy robots this way. As much as I appreciate Instagram, I wish it were easier to do this kind of thing for my posts on IG, but a website YOU control is the only way to control the way you present yourself and whether you can reach people you’d like to reach.

  Autocomplete Results for Search A site with a lot of content: photos and text, needs good search. To that end I spent the day adding autocomplete to the site for all the places search exists. I was unaware that the jQuery UI suite was included and could be queued in WordPress. Or maybe I had forgotten. wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-autocomplete', '', array('jquery-ui-core',...

  Extracting CSS Colors from Screenshots of Web Pages I’ve talked a lot about the headers on this site over the years. It’s one of my favorite long-term projects. One thing that I’ve considered over the years is making associated styling for the footer of the site or other parts based on colors in them. Try 1: parse HTML for colors The first thing...

  Anyone remember Mix Tapes? Cassette tapes are making a resurgence. Today I made a Cassette tape in CSS plus a little JavaScript to get the sprockets to turn and the magnetic tape to move from one side to the other. It’s in #codePen so you’re free to inspect the code and make your own. Link in bio. #CSS #Animation #Art

  Happy Tuesdays and Dead Headers Wait, that’s not the name of the band. I am thinking of Happy Mondays. You’re twistin’ my melon man. Likely because 24 Hour Party People is on Criterion. It’s quite a lot. It’s drama and dirt and myth making. It hits me along the axes of creativity and memory and fandom. Of the things depicted...

  Deprecations and Exhumations Spring Cleaning! Oh, well, maybe it’s winter cleaning? Winter Cleaning! I removed the obnoxious google ads from lab.artlung finally. I also removed the site from Google Webmaster tools. and I did some other clean up of the files. It’s been an experimental space since 1999 but it’s kind of a mess. I’m not really removing...

  It’s January 5th. Good morning. For a while I was making montages using ImageMagick’s actual montage command.
