After solving (so far) the FTP problem, I finally moved a test small sample of my static log file, created by 11ty to my server and it didn’t work! The problem was not using relative addressing. Or am I missing something? It seems…for a static site generator, that I should be able to simply move …

FTP problem
Yesterday I FTP’d to my web host to delete a bunch of files. At some point the FTP program stopped working. I tried quitting and restarting. I could signon fine but when I tried to copy over a file I would get… Command: USER billslitResponse: 331 User billslit OK. Password requiredCommand: PASS ****Response: 530 Login …
Matrix/Element
No sooner do I complain about the dumb name riot than they change it…Riot is now Element! I created a new Firefox profile and now I can signon to Matrix/Element from there.
Matrix/Riot
I’ve been hearing a lot about this lately. Sounds interesting and something to keep my eye on. They say… Matrix is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication over IP. The simplest way to sign up and try Matrix out is to use Riot, a web-based client. What a dumb name…Riot. The Riot client …
Eleventy test blog
Well got the initial blog working. Apparently it sorts articles by the front matter date field which I was wondering about because the file names don’t provide a way to do this.

And bonus…my memory of processing a directory, was using os.walk(), but found a much easier and straightforward way using …

Although I’m not sure about Julia’s behavior in the matter. The actual error I got was “StringIndexError” and had nothing to do with my index being outside legal …
Julia TTFP
I mentioned Time to first plot recently. Nice to know it’s a concern.
Julia string indexing problem
Reading markdown files some manipulating then writing changes to new directory. Trying to move some bytes to output file but getting indexing problem evidently because Julia has problems with special characters. Want to file bug report but after searching for similar problem seen some references to Unicode and UTF-8, so trying to figure out how …
11ty Computer Log
Reading this article about Creating A Blog With Eleventy. And it described adding front matter to markdown files (450+ in my case) and it suggested creating a base-layout.njk file which is a Nunjucks template, and adding “layout: base-layout.njk” to the markdown front matter. Front matter is stuff between beginning and ending dash(s) “—” at the …
