@tfb Yeah, I think it's a really elegant approach. To be clear, the issue is various generalised variables being deprecated: github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/ -- but (self (buffer-string) ...) and stuff was always the way for me. :-/

    @davep Thanks. Funny how I use reference links and the occasional strike though while you frequently use footnotes (which I hardly ever use).If you need an edge case who does weird, contraian stuff, I'm your man :-)

    @davep I know that feeling.... Cooking-up a better version of my website locally. In the last 1.5d I've added caching, anti-baddies and an editor. Been avoiding doing just the last one of those alone for 3yr+. More concerned about ability to test everything to satisfaction before going live. blink :)

    Maybe it's the old saying "The journey is the reward" because fuck yeah. To me just getting the answer handed to me is a shortcut, it's cheating, it's skipping the work that goes into the discovery.It's making a shitty microwave meal for dinner instead of actually cooking with real ingredients.

    I don't just want the answer, I want to know how to get the answer. I want to know why the answer is what it is.Maybe this is like that whole idea that in school they don't teach kids to think, they teach them to memorize the answer.

    @andyc That's nothing to do with BlogMore; it's a hangover from Jekyll (I think; since this blog started it's gone Jekyll, Pelican and now BlogMore). I've been toying with making use of it and/or cleaning it up from all my posts.You’ll also see some early posts have published frontmatter too.

    @davep Quite. Well, I noticed the up-tick of late. Goodie.I'm being A Talk(TM) at a semi-local camera club on Tuesday evening... preparation has fairly sapped energy for the last year.Then... new design tweaks, fix the damned login auth problems, add blog, ... maybe write words :)
