  • Setting up dokuwiki as flat files and folders

    Jump

  • I may have just customized the starter page template and written my own css. It’s not too complicated. I like the simple wiki look more than a full featured website. Heavily inspired by the wonderful website of Inigo Quilez.

  • Andreas’ “gallery” plugin was a great way to share my photos. I believe I tweaked the code to read exif data from the jpegs to extract the comment/description and display it as a caption.

    “Graphviz” was also wonderful for generating flowcharts and organization charts for my work.

    My present website runs on dokuwiki, though it’s pretty bare bones and not doing anything fancy. Just an English-Japanese bilingual setup.

  • I used dokuwiki extensively over the years to manage projects, organize data, and build public web pages now and then. It’s been a pleasure to use.

  • What's the most moving experience you've ever had?

    Jump

  • Maybe it seems a bit mundane, but I was moved to tears watching the live footage of the Artemis reentry shot out of the window. It’s an unedited 25 minutes of visuals and sounds that the astronauts saw and heard as they returned to Earth, and it has some of the most beautiful “real” things recorded for all to see.

    Between the gorgeous blue planet and blackness of space you see the fiery reentry and flakes of spacecraft burning off into the distance as the capsule makes a mind-bending descent into the atmosphere. The video includes live telemetry about speed and G forces, as well as all the sounds of the maneuvering thrusters doing an algorithmic dance to keep the angles exactly as they need to be

    It’s one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen, and makes me proud of all humanity has achieved.

    Worth a watch!

  • A v-shaped channel might work if the angle is at least 30 degrees off of horizontal. 45 will work for sure. Something like this.

  • What mediocre game, show, or movie has an incredible soundtrack?

    Jump

  • Pretty obscure, but a 1994 PC game based on the Lawnmower Man movie called Cyberwar. Came with the OST on CDROM. It was my jam in middle school.

  • what's the coolest thing you have ever programmed?

    Jump

  • A long time ago I wrote a little web app that takes a search string and finds all the words in the dictionary that have overlap with its spelling. Sort of a portmanteau generator. It was just a fun project at the time, but I have used it on countless occasions to brainstorm unique names for projects, websites, etc.

    You can try it from the link below. Just type any word or name and it will populate the results.

  • Now I want a “what if?” on this. I would love to see all the g-forces and wind resistance and other details of how to survive with a big ramp.

  • TIL a french man ate bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, beds, and a Cessna 150 aircraft. It took him roughly 2 years, from 1978 to 1980, to eat the plane

  • Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.

  • What's the most creative username you have seen?

    Jump

  • I think kaomoji have been a thing in Japan even before unicode was invented. The Japanese encodings and IME (input method esitors) allowed them to type a wide variety of characters, punctuation and symbols that aren’t available in most western encodings, so I feel like the Japanese folks had a head start on creative use of typography.

    For example, if you want an eyeball you can just type “do” (degrees), and the IME will pull up °, and “omega” gives you ω, so it’s pretty easy to make (°ω°).

  • I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.
