My personal blog which covers a handful of main topics and wanders through all sorts of subjects. Mostly you'll see me writing about coding and Python and a bit of Emacs and so on; but sometimes there will be more random thoughts and personal stuff.

A quick update carrying on from this morning's release: as mentioned towards the end of the post, there was a small problem with the lint command where it would raise an error if a page or post linked to any page related to the new series feature. v2.40.1 fixes this. The linter now knows about the series feature and...

I've just released BlogMore v2.40.0. This version contains just one new feature: post series support. It's hardly a novel feature, plenty of blog engines support this sort of thing; I felt it was high time I added it to BlogMore too. The idea is simple: while categories provide a method of having "sub-blogs" within...

After adding floating and inline tables of contents in BlogMore the other day, it was time to update blogmore.el to include commands to toggle the related frontmatter. So, with the release of blogmore.el v4.6.0, two new commands are now available: blogmore-toggle-show-toc toggles the show_toc frontmatter property....

BlogMore v2.39.0 has a couple of changes, one more or less cosmetic, the other a new feature that I probably should have added right near the start of the project. First, the cosmetic: in pages and posts, when you use headings (#, ##, etc.), a ¶ is added to the end of each heading, along with some...

BlogMore has been bumped to v2.38.0. This release includes a small cosmetic change to the stats page, and also adds a fairly big cosmetic feature with some comprehensive control. First, the change to the stats page: here I've changed the formatting of numbers a little so that numbers that are in the thousands or...

I've just released BlogMore v2.37.0. This is a small update that fixes a bug and also improves the way that warnings and errors are emitted. The bugfix comes from yesterday's post where I noticed that the stats page was misreporting the number of tags on the blog. The cause of the problem was that, within reason, a...

Introduction¶ Having recently added the dump command to BlogMore I've been thinking I should try and learn a little more about jq. It's one of those tools that's been on my radar for ages, which I've used on very rare occasions to get something done quickly, but which I've never really used in anger. So I thought it...

So today is the day, today is when GitHub Copilot swaps to its new billing system. Watching the relevant subreddit suggests this might not be popular. Some folk think it isn't the smartest move. Some don't feel too friendly towards it any more. It looks like some of those friendships have lasted a while. Some saw...

Another quick update to BlogMore: this time doing a little bit of tidying up in support of my use of it over on my photoblog. The new items I've added to the stats page are working out really well, but over on the photoblog they were lacking a bit in a couple of areas. Because no post on the photoblog has any body...

Well, I wasn't expecting to release a new version of BlogMore quite so soon, given I made a release earlier today. But an issue came in that the Bluesky icon wasn't showing in the socials section on someone's blog, despite the fact that the docs suggested it should work. Sure enough, the icon wasn't there despite...

I've just realised that, somehow, I've managed to post something on this blog, every single day this month. A large part of this is, of course, because I've been doing a lot of stuff on BlogMore, but there's no getting away from the fact that BlogMore exists and I feel compelled to make use of it, and also that...

I've released BlogMore v2.34.0. This is a small update to make some changes to the newly-added dump command. The first change is a small fix to the url_path property, which wasn't being populated; now it is. The second change adds two new properties to the output which relate to links that can be found inside posts:...
