a new note !

This weekend, I made a game with a friend for the GMTK Game Jam 2026 (it's playable here). Part of this was using Git for the project files.
Why use a local git server

I didn't see a great need in creating a GitHub/GitLab/etc project, when there were only two of us, and we were sat next to each other. Instead, I hosted a git daemon on my computer for the weekend that we were doing the jam.

To do this, I:

@diffrentcolours@tech.lgbt on https://diffrentcolours.dreamwidth.org/, you say "I've just got back from a week at Electromagnetic Field 2026, which was both great and frustrating in different ways. I hope to say more about both those things."

I should love to read what you have to say when you are ready to say it :]

I finally made that tool I wanted to make

interactive alt-text writer

given an HTML or markdown file with images without alt text, it opens each image in turn, asks you for alt text, and edits the original file

made a script myself because every time I google "simple html alt text image preview" (etc.) I just get "automatic AI generated alt-text" tools … humph :-[

script coming soon to a notes blog near you ;]

ok everyone, you couldn't behave

my git server now has logs/tree/commits/diffs locked out.

you scraped one too many times

but, you know, if you're a human and not an infinitely hungry AI-scraping bot, you could always,,, you know,,, just clone the repository

@tom7@mastodon.social I have loved your fonts page(s) for a while, I often use them (I'm sure you have heard such praise before)

I re-hosted them with a little interactive text element for each on https://alifeee.net/fonts/tom7/ — mostly for myself, but thought you might like it
