an infuriating read for the morning: Reform of the date of Easter

🔥 extremely low-quality Wikipedia content on this topic ⚔️( well, actually, all of the articles on lunisolar calendar topics are bad)

💡 the full politics of the topic of should the ecclesiastical calendar be tied to the phase of the moon is subject to Guild Law. but, to avoid suspense, i will note that I am very much on the side of "yes, it should".

⚙️ we note for the record that, in March 2019, the equinox was March 20, 2019, 4:58 PM and the full moon was March 20, 2019, 8:43 PM (Iowa time).

💬 Shut up about the sun!

What remains to be done on Atacama?

• adjust colors again. the current 0074D9 color for post titles is not satisfactory
• a "color tag registry" to populate help files
• "keep reading" link on the stream. 💡( there is too much work to be done still for an "infinite stream" to be helpful)
• fix sigil backgrounds 💡( and, probably, fix the "sigils rotate 90 degrees when clicked" feature that the machine added but never implemented correctly)
• the text in the style-picker is often an unreadable color
• adjust the "print" settings some more; the text is too spaced out

What is dependent on the "new lexer"?

• Triple-angle-brackets for multi-paragraph literal text.
• maybe making URLs a "colorblock"; only the domain need be in the running text, the full URL can be on a sidebar

Next week I will start on the list of LLM-API powered features.

🔥 keeping excessive details about the lunisolar calendar out of published posts will be one of the features.

⚔️ well, actually, the distinction of "published" doesn't exist yet. and it may not ever exist.

⚙️ the pipeline is writer→editor→publisher.

the Peloton seems ready to go; but there is only one way to know for sure.

the snowblower has not been repaired, and in fact still has snow on it in the garage. i will look at that soon.
