Sure! Here's mine: https://www.justus.ws I've had this one for a couple years now. I've had more polished-looking sites in the past, but this time I wanted to emphasize having fun with it and not being too precious - this allows me to update it without worrying about everything being perfect. It's a static site built by Eleventy. I edit/build it locally, and then when I push up to Github it's rebuilt there by a Githu…

I'd guess there's a race condition that causes the eyes to end up closed, because the 'delay' can sometimes be less than 150 and `blink` gets called while it's already executing (so `src` ends up being the blink version). A simple fix would be adding `await` to `blink()` if that's the case!

BTW, I made a vanilla JS version for fun, without jQuery or promises (untested)

  function blinktimer() {
      var avatar = document.querySelector(" .avatar ");
      var srcBlink = '/images/dadi-avatar_blink.png';
      var blink = function() {
        console.log("BLINK!");
        var srcOpen = avatar.src;
        avatar.src = srcBlink;
        setTimeout(function() {
                avatar.src = srcOpen;
                var delay = (Math.random() * 11000) | 0;
                setTimeout(blink, delay);
        }, 150);
      }
      var delay = (Math.random() * 11000) | 0;
      setTimeout(blink, delay);
  }

https://jake.tl I’ve used this site design for probably 6 years? Today it’s a NextJS site on Vercel backed by markdown files (older pages) and Notion (newer pages). I’ve also built the same design with a Python SSG which was focused on one HTTP request per page, and before that a POSIX shell script I wrote focused on being as FreeBSD as possible. I would like to share more knowledge on the site, but it’s in last plac…

Love the airbnb tip, definitely going to use that!

My blog is https://mohibulsblog.netlify.app/

Nothing too fancy, just a static hugo site on github pages. I mostly write about Java and Javascript. Currently trying to complete my 100DaysOfJava. As its quite a tough thing to make time so trying to read and tinker with the concepts and then write.

The article i am most fond of will be https://mohibulsblog.netlify.app/posts/java/100daysofjava/da...

Hey Taylor! Good looking site- The minimal theming feels very clean. 2 suggestions jumped out: 1. The font size on homepage is small, especially for the two columns of dates. I can't really read them from across my desk (even on a big monitor). It's also not clear what the dates represent- maybe created and updated dates for each post? 2. The dates aren't present on the post pages themselves, so someone landing direc…

> 1. The font size on homepage is small, especially for the two columns of dates. Thanks for the feedback! I just pushed up some changes. Let me know how it looks in ~10 minutes :) Those dates are indeed created and updated dates. I haven't thought of pretty a way to visually indicate that haha. Let me know if you have any ideas! > 2.

> would have something a bit more comprehensive but i've been engrossed in trying to set up servers over the last 24 hours.

Maybe a slightly smaller and lighter "C" and "U" preceding them?

I had one, but it literally burned down with my server when ISPs air conditioner failed. Two PSUs went one by one, and the shitty HP server wouldn't even properly shut down. :( Since then, the domain was overtaken. And there's no point making another server considering WW3 situation :( And the entry point now is probably higher - one does not simply install CMS. And domains need to be paid. ( Screw Internet!
