18/11/13, third day in a row

三日坊主

We use the expression "三日坊主 (ミッカボウズ)" (three day monk) in Japan for people who can't commit to something for more than a few days. Hopefully, my #10000daysof code will be longer than that...

Something I did not mention yesterday is that I got the doublet.jp new server up and running. It was hosted by a local provider who was really nice but I decided to rent a server myself to work with all the names I am managing (some bought in Japan, some on gandi.net). Now I have to get used to all the new options. It reminds me when I was telneting the eskimo server back in the days...

What I did today

I did a lot of rewriting, adding things here and there, testing and reverting. I think I'm ready to go back to freeCodeCamp now.

First, I added a navigation, I played with flex for its display but for now I don't think I'm going to do anything fancy with it. I added proper "rel" and "hreflang" attributes.
I split the css in 3 parts: layout / box / text. You can see it here: adventuresintechland.css. I'll probably be testing a number of patterns there.
I tested <ruby> here.
In the CSS I also tested attribute selectors and pseudo-elements to add the "<" and ">" in the navigation links only: a[rel=prev]::after {content: " <";}. That's pretty cool, but there are probably issues with accessibility/localization with this.
I added a code list to the index for easier reference.

What I need to do

I need to find a "project" manager for all the files. There must be a mode for that in emacs.
I need to find a way to manage the links in the navigation for the new files. Doing that manually is error prone.
I still have not configured emacs for auto-completion. I liked what they had in Coda, Bluefish is not bad either, but I'm sure there is something for emacs too. For now that's not a big problem, in fact it's better to not use completion since it forces me to type and remember.
