Meta on Craig Andera https://www.craigandera.org/tags/meta/ Recent content in Meta on Craig Andera Hugo en-us Tue, 06 Oct 2026 10:25:07 -0400 The Site Now Lives at www https://www.craigandera.org/log/www-is-now-canonical/ Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.craigandera.org/log/www-is-now-canonical/ Site work: the canonical address is now www.craigandera.org, and the other names redirect there. Also, I'm sorry about your RSS reader. More site work, this time at the DNS level. The site's address is now www.craigandera.org. Everything else — craigandera.org, craigandera.com, and www.craigandera.com — permanently redirects to the same page on www.craigandera.org. I did this mostly so that the bare craigandera.org is free to hold other things later, and so I can hang other subdomains off it without a fuss.

What this means for you: nothing, if all goes well. Old links and bookmarks to any of those names still land on the right page, including the RSS feeds. I tested all four names, with paths and query strings, so I'm reasonably confident.

What I'm sorry about: the RSS feeds. Each item's unique ID is built from its full address, and the address just changed from craigandera.org to www.craigandera.org. So when your feed reader next checked in, it probably decided every entry on the site was brand new and showed you all of them again. That's my fault for changing the address out from under you. If your reader dumped a pile of old posts on you, they're the same posts, so you can mark them all read. It should only happen once.

If anything looks broken — a link that doesn't go where it should, a certificate warning, a feed that won't load — tell me. Per the previous entry, I will probably break more stuff as I go.

]]> Done Backfilling the Projects https://www.craigandera.org/log/backfill-done/ Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.craigandera.org/log/backfill-done/ Site update: the Projects backfill is finished, and tagging is much improved. Plenty there to explore. I think I'm done backfilling the projects. I've added quite a few over the last few days, and improved tagging. So there's quite a bit there to explore. There's even more stuff I could have added (I'm totally ignoring software, for instance) but at some point enough is enough. I'm not even totally clear on who I'm doing this for. Me, I guess?

Anyway, maybe you'll see something you enjoy, or even better, that inspires you. Go check out the Projects area of the site.

I've been going back through my old photos and (with AI help) populating the Projects section. So if you looked at it a few days ago, there are a lot more things there now. Maybe some will be of interest to you. I'm still adding more. There's an RSS feed if you want to follow it that way.

]]> Gallery Merged Into Projects https://www.craigandera.org/log/gallery-merged-into-projects/ Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.craigandera.org/log/gallery-merged-into-projects/ Site work: the Gallery and Projects sections were basically the same thing, so they're now one. I did some site work today. I realized that "gallery" and "projects" were basically the same thing, so I merged them; now there's just projects. I apologize to the zero people whom this impacts through broken links or RSS feeds.

I'll probably break more stuff as I go. Since this whole thing is for me, I feel confident the user base won't mind.

]]> Hello, world https://www.craigandera.org/log/hello-world/ Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.craigandera.org/log/hello-world/ The new site is live — what to expect here. Welcome to the new site. This replaces years of good intentions and zero follow-through with an actual place to write things down — mostly what I'm building in the shop, but really whatever seems worth recording.

I have two older sites - my old Blogger site and getsmarterandmakestuff.com - but they're both hosted sites that don't give me the control I want. This site hopefully will work more the way I think about projects.

Posts show up here in a single chronological Log. Projects, ongoing or finished, get their own page with a current summary and, where there is one, the history of updates on them. The Projects page doubles as a gallery of finished builds.

If you'd rather not check back, there's an RSS feed (the icon in the footer), plus a separate feed for each individual project, and one for newly added Projects, if you only care about following one thing.

More to come.
