<i>~december 15, 2022</i><br>
wow! it's been a while since i have been able to work on this bad boy. i got completely
absorbed into the 9-5 life as i was working at my co-op. it was a great time, i learned
a lot about writing software, and i'm happy it went so well. now that i have my free
time back, i have decided to completely renovate this place. i have actually been working
for probably a week or so without doing any logging- just little pieces here and there
to get it to where it is now. my domain subscription ran out while i was working too,
so the website had to come down. i stopped paying for hosting, and one of my new focuses
is to get this baby running for free.<br>
so, what changed?<br>
<br><br><br>
<i>~ june 30th, 2022</i><br>
okay so it's been a bit since i've logged, and i've been working on the site a lil but
really not that much over the course of the past month or so. school has picked back
up, but i accepted a position for my final co-op and i am super relieved! i've recently
changed how some of the borders look on the nav bar, and i've added a whole new log! the
plant log will be a place where i keep a gallery and notes of my garden and i hope to add
a section for my indoor plants too. i suppose that's all that's really changed since the
last log.
<br><br><br>
<i>~ june 30th, 2022</i><br>
today was a day of maintenance and growth! i have expanded the journal to include
an old book log that i would like to breathe some life into. there are some missing
titles in there in-between East of Eden and My Ishmael, but to be honest i can't be
bothered to go back and populate it. i added the East of Eden entry today just because
it was such a profound book to me that i felt as though it deserved a spot in the log.
i've also tweaked the animation that draws around the navigation links. next, i'd like
to add a border like is under the navigation links around the left and right of `main`.
i haven't tested it out yet but i have a feeling it will look quite nice.

<i>~ june 16th, 2022</i><br>
the past few days have been quite productive and i am quite happy! i began to look into
whether customizing the styling of the auto-index feature is possible, and it indeed is,
but it looked like a can of worms i'm not quite ready to get into yet. it required the
installation of a module for nginx, but even just installing a module appeared to be quite
an involved task. it looked like the module was maybe only avaiable for nginx-plus? i'm
not sure, but i do know that when i attempted to install the module through the package
manager it was never able to find it, and when i tried reinstalling nginx with the --include
tag, it also told me it didn't know what i meant. so, i decided to move on and work on the
general aesthetic of the website. i think this marks the 4th complete visual overhaul of
this website, and it's still mostly just a wasteland.

<i>the previous b/w aesthetic of the site</i><br>
that being said, i did log in to my old account on futureland.tv and found an old book log
i was keeping a few years back. i think i'm going to expand the journal part of trali.blue
by adding categories and keep the development log separate from other logs that i would
like to keep. this project has been a blast, and interestingly enough i've been working on
it more frequently now that i'm in classes again... strange how i manage to find the time
to work on this rather than homework, but i'm not complaining.
<br><br><br>
<i>~ june 14th, 2022</i><br>
great progress today. i did some research on nginx and discovered that nginx has a handy
'auto index' feature which happens to be exactly what i have been looking for!!!! i was
looking for an easy way to simply display a directory without needing to format the html
or do any configuration of a database, and this does exactly that. now, what used to be
my 'files' page is my 'basket'. in its current form it will just be a simple interface to
access any files that i would like to get later, or send to friends. i'm very excited,
this is the first step to distancing myself from 3rd-party file-hosting platforms!

first entry!<br>
this will be a log of how things are going with the website.
even though i've been working on getting it set up slowly for the past few months,
it's finally in a position where i feel like marking progress is worth the effort. today, i have very
little homework so i'm taking a bit of time to experiment with hosting files on the site.
gonna make a little directory that just holds some code from my last programming languages
lab. eventually, i'm really going to need to get my formatting for this site figured out..
<br>
<i>~ later, that evening...</i><br>
okay, so that was way easier than i thought.. i had no idea i could simply put a
file in the same directory and use a simple link to it for it to be download-able.
very simple and very fast success!
