This entries contains shorter posts. They are for my own usage, a way to track down what I do on a more regular basis, without the aim to communicate to the greater audience. Remember when you solved a problem or took a decision, but forgot about it ? This lab notebook will help me.
Analytics, permissions and https
Putting the rss aggregator server on https I simply went with let’s Encrypt and followed certbot instruction. It crashed mid way, not able to parse my nginx configuration. Finding in which section to put the certificates was a bit troublesome, but I figured it out eventually. I went to use Nginx docs for it, which are well written. Before that, I would use Linode tutorialswhich are very nice too, but lack in explanations.
Tulips
This week not much tech news, I’ve been visiting the tulip fields near Lisse in Netherlands. Posting the pictures here makes me think I probably have to resize the pictures of this blog, to not make it enormous (especially my Game Jam article). For this I usually resize in good old paint if I’m on windows, but else I use ImageMagick.
Here some pictures for your eyes.
Working on the VN
I’ve been working again on a little Visual Novel (VN) engine made in Godot. I had something functioning, but I was not happy with the code structure, so I went to refactor it. I’m still struggling defining what I want to be able to script without effort. I find the script structure of Ren’PY atrocious for writing flow, and it surely requires a lot of copy-paste or custom script to put it in the Ren’Py format.
Blogging day
Today I resurected this blog. It was a fruitfull day because in the morning I tackled some issues concerning my other works.
The crontab building the site was not successful and due to lack of logging, I could not determine why. After implementing logging quickly, I could see the building was failing because the app would not find the files needed for it to run. I made in sort to take the directory path from which the file is executed and it resolved the issue.
