I think this is exactly what happens. A span:nth-child(3) selector will match only the span that is also its parent’s 3rd child. Your br isn’t counted as a span, it’s counted as a child element.

But today I learned that :nth-child() counts all elements[.]

If you’ve wondered about an “IndieWeb” site but don’t know where to start: Make what you need.

Would love to see this fixed, or rather, have the ability to easily extend WordPress’s inline link modal to accept class names. We don’t need “IndieWeb blocks,” after all. HTML classes suffice; the “Post Type Discovery” algo will take it from there.

Bookmarking this, on MySQL querying by physical distance. (My original goal for the geekcompass.com domain was to host a sort of “Tripadvisor for nerds.”)

Phew, I’ve been getting away with using a separate yet non-“business” account for my “eenmanszaak” purposes. Here in Belgium, too, small-business income is reported “separately” (but not really), which is kind of good (e.g., I’m allowed to deduct lump-sum “expenses” twice, once as an employee, once as an entrepreneur—actual expenses are close to nothing). Dang, I’m already happy I, a “kleine onderneming,” don’t have to file quarterly VAT returns! (The spam issue is all too real here as well.)

They’re plugins for F-Stop, my poorly named Aperture + Monocle “fork”—rewrite, more like—and work much like WordPress plugins. (No Composer or command line is involved in installing them.) Hoping to open-source the whole thing soon.

Back in the day, A List Apart published an article detailing a JS-based font size switcher. What it does, really, is add/remove the disabled attribute to the relevant stylesheet links. Might just work, still.

Moving more and more of my feed reader’s functionality into separate plugins, which can be (de)activated on the fly. So far, I’ve got: checkin-maps, custom-css, micropub (in progress, but low prio), microsub, notifications, opml, reading-time, scraper, tags, and websub (in progress, but … low prio).

Keep forgetting to put the “reply context” above e-content when manually creating quick replies. I mean, it’s a small thing, but …

Just thinking out loud … The main difficulty, I think, would be IndieAuth. Might depend on the provider. Plus, I think Monocle (or whatever reader you choose) looks at the rel="microsub" link in your personal site’s head as well, and a local domain probably won’t cut it.

I should also try again to get Aperture running locally once more. That somehow never really worked out yet.

🤔 Makes me think about adding password authentication to my own feed reader …

Made vanilla ice cream, then crêpes, and now Brussels waffles.

Wasn’t immediately clear to me that https://github.com/aaronpk/Static-Maps-API-PHP runs just fine on my shared hosting setup as well. (Yay!)
