Website updates

8 May, 2026

I made some updates to my website today:

• Made various updates to the page's CSS styles.
  • One that you've probably noticed straight away is the removal of MixSerifCondense from all the headings (and navbar). I only really did it for the Deltarune aesthetic, and never particularly liked how it looked in a web browser, with the way browsers (and OSes in general) tend to render fonts, including pixel/bitmap fonts.
  • I also removed the "hovering" backgrounds from the cards for somewhat similar reasons. I'm basically trying to clean up the website design a little now that my Deltarune Chapter 3+4 hyperfixation has died down a little.
• Updated the front page content, including the removal of the MIDIs section (mostly).
• Removed the "Proudly No JavaScript!" badge from pages without JavaScript, and the "Warning: Page contains JavaScript!" badge from those with JavaScript, replacing it with a "Codeberg" badge linking to my Codeberg profile.
  • This was done as the "No JavaScript" badge being present on most pages could cause confusion when there are two pages (the homepage and prophecy pane generator) that require JavaScript to function as expected.
• Added a link to Gadgetbridge on the projects page, since I am now a (one-time) contributor to that project.
• Fixed a broken image on my Windows 10 EOL blog post that somehow went unnoticed for more than half a year.
• Fixed a typo on every single page on this website, where the description meta block had its name instead spelt as "desciption", preventing it from serving its purpose.
• Other stuff I've probably already forgotten.

Garmin Updater update

I have implemented the Garmin updater. I've tested it, and it can sync AGPS data just fine (for faster GPS location locks when running activities that use it), however I can't continue with development right now for two reasons:

1. I need to wait for Garmin to release another public update to test the actual watch updater works, and...
2. Uni work has been kicking my ass this semester. Especially Mobile App Design. The coordinator of that class has seemingly never had to do a course with four classes per semester, as the amount of assignment work we're being given could easily fill two classes. Combine that with AI slop course content and you've got just a horrible class all around. I'm managing though (barely).

My Linux desktop experience

I plan to eventually write up a whole article on this, but Linux Mint on my old MacBook Pro has been pretty usable. I'm not a big fan of a few Xfce specifics though, and for some reason suspend (sleep mode for Windows/macOS users) doesn't really work reliably (i.e. the laptop wakes up immediately after you try to put it in suspend). As for app compatibility, literally the only app I need that isn't on Linux is Microsoft Word (for shared documents in my uni classes), and I've needed a couple of other proprietary apps (apart from Office) for university. Overall, a perfectly competent distro, but I'll probably end up jumping ship to something else once uni calms down.
