A record of building a Hatena-Blog-style calendar, tag cloud, and monthly jump buttons into this blog’s own sidebar - including tracking down why the calendar silently failed to render, caused by Hugo’s html/template auto-escaping mangling an inline JSON blob.
A small side project shipped the same day as this blog: a plain HTML/CSS/JS Singlish-term glossary for Japanese speakers, plus the subdomain + repo pattern that later projects would reuse.
The decision to start publishing this blog: Hugo + PaperMod, GitHub Actions deploying to GitHub Pages under a custom domain, a private source repo force-pushing built output to a separate public repo, and a GitHub username rename along the way.
Self-hosted a Miniflux RSS reader on the same server as MulmoClaude to aggregate news by category, then decided the same day it would just become an overflowing unread inbox, and removed the entire stack.
A same-day side quest after getting the domain working: a static digital business card at a new subdomain, served entirely separately from the main app, with a vCard-download button, a WhatsApp click-to-chat link, and a small run-in with Cloudflare’s email obfuscation.
Got a domain with my own name on it, found a backdoor I’d accidentally left open while reviewing access settings, and hit silent delivery failures even with SPF/DKIM/DMARC all correctly configured.
The day after moving to an always-on server, a background automation task (the journal feature) started endlessly retrying the same sessions. The root cause: a millisecond-precision mismatch between Python and Node.js timestamps.
Migrating MulmoClaude to AWS Lightsail. A silent CSRF trusted-origin failure, a mystery ‘Network error calling …’ traced to a Docker Desktop vs Docker Engine networking difference, and a memory-plan saga.
A regular office worker who tinkers with computers on the side, building a personal AI assistant setup from scratch. Includes the ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND stumble.
