First update in far too long

In anybody is reading this, you may have noticed that there have been one or two changes around these parts. For one thing, I started a music blog, which has completely spiralled out of control and become the location of 99% of the content on this website. Which is all well and good if you're looking to read my unfiltered opinions on the current state of industrial music (as of March 2025: pretty healthy), but not much use for anyone hoping to see web development skills in action.

So what are the biggest technical challenges facing Mr Internet dot biz today? Here are a few kinks large and small that our technical support staff are working on ironing out:

  • Write & publish a blog post about ongoing issues / fixes (er...done, I suppose?).
  • Turn n0teeth into a fully functioning WP-style blog with a tagging system etc.
  • Above all, one ruddy huge great revamp of the landing page which currently has a longer to-do list than I can fit on this page, but if you'll allow me a cheeky nested list, here's a few of the more pressing points:
    • Turn it into a smoothly scrollable one-pager with clear concise sections (in progress; I don't really do "concise" but I'm trying)
    • Fiddle with the JavaScript so that the mobile site's open/close sections work correctly

By the end of this exercise I need to be able to step back and honestly answer the question: does Mr Internet dot biz...

  • ...clearly represent my professional identity?
  • ...showcase my past projects?
  • ...highlight my skills and the services I offer?
  • ...demonstrate my passion for building engaging, functional & accessible websites?

Note to self re: JavaScript

=== is for comparison; = is for assigning values.

It's supposed to tell you when it's a good time to go and brew a nice strong espresso, i.e. all the time.

What I learned from setting up this blog

Using an a tag to create a read more drop down doesn't work if you've got anything standing in between your a tag and the div you want to toggle visibility for, in my case the blog date (which I still need to get round to automating at some point as well). Solution? Floated it right. In my experience, using float always comes back to haunt you on certain screen sizes, so there's that to look forward to.

Much to be getting on with

First post! I suppose this ought to function as a to-do list that I'll check back in on once in a while to see if Mr. Internet is on target for World Wide Web domination by TYoOLY2K. For starters:

  • Make the date on blog posts update automatically
  • Fix read more function so that it works for separate posts
  • Build a proper navbar using flexbox
  • Post that silly clock I made on my course
  • Fix Bialetti clock on mobile
