Tinkering

Just some little updates

Recently, I've been playing around with websites.

I'm still working on this one; it looks terrible on mobile, but haven't figured out how to completely fix that yet (although I did some fancy stuff like making it so the font size is relative to the windo they're in).

But then last night I also tinkered around with my Scoby (What's a Scoby?) on snuff bottles, added some fun, glowing orange borders + made it multiple columns. It's not supposed to be impressive or anything, but I'm enjoying playing around with it, and it's making me really want to make another website using Scoby - more detailed, with text to accompany the images - that'll mean something more. I probably will; it's easy enough. I was looking at some of the other Scobies people had made... but I might make a whole other post about that.

I also set up a screenshot garden by following Everest Pipkin's tutorial. With this, I can collect and view the screenshots I make as though it's a carefully curated archive (which it usually is, I have to select the screenshots I don't mind being public before uploading them). This was really fun, because not only did I tinker around with Pipkin's template for the website (which still needs fixing up; there's some jankiness which I quite like but ultimately would like to polish out, although Everest Pipkin knows way more about this than I, who's never even coded until about a few weeks ago, and if they didn't fix this jankiness is it even possible? Is fixing it even desirable? Its naive-ness is a quality, I think) but I also got to try my hand at using Terminal on MacOS (I just followed instructions really... I don't understand it).

I really like the way that these produce almost auto-websites, with specific purposes + limitations. Maybe next, I'll make a Scoby about Scobies.
