Sun 09/03/25 : Tweaking The Blog Setup

I've added a config value for the blog plugin

dateprefix%Y:

This should make a sub-namespace of (e.g.) public:blog:2025 and each year's blog entries will be together in one year's sub-namspace.

Calculators

I've had the DM41X homage/clone of the HP41CX for a few years now, and after an initial period where I learned some of its features and explored a some plugin modules I found it a little cumbersome with the frequent need to explicitly spell out XEQALPHAFACTALPHA the function required.

Wed 31/07/24 : Facebook

I've gone and re-joined FaceBook.

And You Tube.

I never suffered fomo while being away from Facebook, and didn't miss the annoyances of the whole thing… but increasingly many special interest groups, small businesses and voluntary organizations (etc.) use only Facebook as a communication method. You can only stick your head in the sand for so long before you need to get on with life and go with the flow.

I wonder how long I'll stick it this time around?
