“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”
~ T.E. Lawrence
@freemo If you dream at all hours, then you must be one tired programmer.
@LWFlouisa I think I'd be more tired if I never dreamed at all.
@freemo Same here. I wrote many of my novels after dreams. I'm kind of learning web design just out of necessity and being broke.XD
@LWFlouisa Being broke can be a powerful motivator :)
@freemo Php is turning out to be quite something else. The method to read, open, and write files is very similar to ruby and crystal.
@LWFlouisa I absolutely despise coding in php. Ugh!
@freemo Yea its not my favorite thing either. It seems like the only way to make a working submission form is to go through php.
I wish there was a pure html way to do it.
@LWFlouisa you can do a pure html submission form. The only question is where/to what is it submitting to?
@freemo In this case, my blog on working on. As it is now, I'm having to write it in markdown, and then convert it to html.
(Mostly because it seems like only Beaker browser displays markdown.)
@LWFlouisa Wheck out my blog, it is completely static html, no back-end. It is generated with Middleman: http://JeffreyFreeman.me
@freemo So these aren't separate pages then?
@LWFlouisa What isnt separate exactly?
@freemo I'm a little confused by what static means. I had a friend in web comic design, that aid that static servers were so yesterday.
@LWFlouisa Static means that the server hosting my website has nothing but a bunch of html files, unlike php that generates the html on the fly and usually needs a database
@freemo That clears up a lot. I purely use markdown as the back end. Php feels like Ruby put through a meat grinder, and given LSD as a pain reliever.
@LWFlouisa Markdown isnt a back end. My site can generate from markdown as well.
@freemo Ah that's very good news!
@LWFlouisa the source for my site is open and on git i think. You'd have to figure out how to run middleman.
@freemo I might take a look then. I'm always amazed (in a good way) how people can do infinite scroll seamlessly.)
@LWFlouisa Looks like it is private. Got a github account I can give you read-only access.
@freemo I used to be a real big github user.
@LWFlouisa Thats better than those really tiny github users. They always keep sneaking up on me and I never hear them coming.
@freemo My joy was the github free website thing. I found it indispensable before I found IPFS and Beaker.
@freemo Figured something out, but it's still a weird work around I'm not sure I care for: submission form as an offline application for online html generated from markdown.
@LWFlouisa bedtime, but i could perhaps help tomorrow if its still an issue.
@freemo Thanks, Avour une Guten soir! My buthered Fretherphone.
@freemo Butchered.
@LWFlouisa haha, anytime, talk to you soon.
@freemo Even in Shoes, unless I'm using the terminal to write a file, I'm finding it impossible to save anything.
@freemo Dapper!
