Pete's Log: Loghancements

(posted when I was 43 years old.)

22-year old me said it best: php coding is fun to do when I'm too tired to do other stuff. php coding is easy to do when I'm too tired to do other stuff.

I've added a few new things lately. The first is a rewrite of my markup engine that allows me to do more complex things when evaluating tags. This has allowed some enhancements around displaying pictures. It's also allowed a tag I've had in the back of my mind for years: units. Right now it doesn't do much more than show a tooltip on desktop browsers (for example when I mentioned it was -6 F out the other day). Since HTML title attributes are neither good for mobile nor accessibility, this will see some changes in the future (like maybe a user setting for metric vs imperial) but at least with the tag in place I can start using it and then update how it appears later.

I've also added more feeds. Among other things there is now a feed for only public entries as well as a custom feed generator.

I also updated the log stats, breaking it into multiple pages and adding a couple new sections, including the entries by era table from entry 2000.

Also added some enhancements to the backend that only I see. But I am happy to be making improvements.
