The above code looks like this when rendered:



Previous         Next

Except the links would be pink on the site in question. They are green here because links are green here.

I originally had like three or four links in the footer, like Start | Previous | Next | Last. I've spent a lot of years figuring out how to make sleek and comprehensive navigation for my comic and this is at least my fourth iteration on trying to comic.

I'm happy now with navigation. Navigation in the comicking world is inconsistent and frequently aggravating and I wanted a not clunky navigation interface and that's a problem I've been working on solving for a lot of years.

And I'm posting this here because I want to delete it from my comic. I'm trying to clean up the back end in hopes of actually starting to comic at least three days a week because my understanding is that's the schedule you need to keep to get substantial traction. 

There are exceptions where people have quirky schedules and still have an audience. I think Order of the Stick updates erratically but posts a LOT of stuff at one time when they do and managed to get a following anyway.

I'm TERRIBLE at keeping a schedule. But, onto cleaning up the backend.

New Accounts

You can set up a new account to save your wardrobe but can't order anything until you get measured. Setting up a new account will prompt you to make an appointment with the nearest certified seamstress allowed to measure you. This potentially tells us where to go certify a bunch of new people. If enough people create an account in x city, we make sure to arrange a certified seamstress as soon as possible if there isn't one yet.

The Norway Problem

The Norway Problem - why StrictYAML refuses to do implicit typing and so should you Norway abbreviates as NO. This is a real word and some programs will alter that to a programming command, such as "False." A workaround in some cases is to put it in quotation marks, but you may not know that ahead of time. There are other cases like this, such as a person whose last name is Null . Found via HN . Related reading: Principle of least astonishment A textbook formulation is: "People are part of the system. The design should match the user's experience, expectations, and mental models."

To Python or not to Python?

I've had a lot of people recommend Python to me as a language I should learn. I have just tripped across this comment on HN : Not to be a total smartass, but if your Python codebase is not that big yet, then the correct answer is none of the above- rewrite in a compiled language if you find the lack of static checks disturbing. I have been using "type checked" python for a year and let me tell you, it is not even 10% as good as having a real compiler. Python type checkers are not even close to 100% accuracy. Now I'm wondering if Python is really a good first language to learn or not.
