Computer stuff

Web

• A page to gather all my personal feeds. I've already got a couple blogs, plus my Shaarli, and I could add Gitlab or social media feeds. I'm not sure such a list would be truly useful, but it would be nice to have it, as I currently lack such an overview.
• Take a look at IndieWeb
• Learn more about Microformats (Microformats)
  • h-card and h-entry have been implemented here.
  • To be implemented on my other static websites
• Learn about Micropub
• Learn about Webmention
  • Self-host a Webmention service :
    • Telegraph
    • Webmention Receiver
    • Webmention.io
  • Alternatively, use cURL
  • Or Pushl
  • See also article 1 or article 2. They use Webmention.io (hosted version), which may be enough for now ?
• A /feeds page.
• A standard Zola development base for my websites
• Documentation about self-hosting
• A /uses page, explaining how this website works (Zola, IndieWeb etc)
• A contact page, to tell people to not be afraid to contact me, and using which platform.

Web design

• A page using Comic Sans.
• A CLI-like page (green on black).
• A page with all kinds of blinkies, 80x15 buttons and the like. I'm already collecting some in the footer of this site, but I'd like a page with the ones I make and the other cool I find.
  • Web Badges World has some nice stuff.
  • SH2/Buttons too
  • Done here
• Buttons for my various websites

Miscellaneous

• Ponysay files : There are a lot of new ponies I would like to add. Unfortunatly, I haven't found the time and motivation to do so in a long time.
• Ponysay development : Ponysay is not dead, but not often updated either. I'd like to help, but a lack of time, motivation and knowledge in the codebase prevent me to do so unfortunately.
• A shell script to get statistics about my feels entries :
  • Total number of chars/words/lines
  • Same but per months
• Do some Ocaml stuff : I haven’t done anything with this language for ages, despite enjoying it.

Data

• Large fire numbers Last summer, I've started doing a spreadsheet of burnt area by state, using mostly wikipedia as a source. I wanted to get some better understanding of the scale of it, and the evolution, if I kept tallying the numbers every year. However, Wikipedia data is far from being complete, and it took too much of my time to collect them. I'd need to find some better sources, on which I could do some automation to import them in Grafana or a similar thing.

Fiction

• In a Cyberpunk world, there may be technophobic communities living outside the huge cities. Although strongly opposed to the invasive technology pushed by megacorporation, they could maintain a cast of techno-druids. Indeed, they would need to defend themselves against said megacorporations, which would attack them to get access to resources. Thus having people able to fight them with more advanced technology would be very useful. These druids could nevertheless be seen as pariahs, not fully integrated in the anti-technology communities, despite their usefulness.

Miniature and Modelism

• A Munitorum Armoured Container painted in blue, with a whale logo on it. Docker reference !
