Jul 19, 2026: fourth of july

Today's content will be kind of in order, except where it isn't. Which might be mostly. Guess we see where the day takes me from here.

I have less ambitious expectations out of my personal quests these days. As an example, I'm just trying to commit a minimum of one code change per week. The great re-org and all those cardattack time-sucks make it hard to be here, there, and everywhere else all at once.

Point being, today is that weekly deadline to deploy some code (other than these chronicle, which is a different kind of code, so it ain't like I ain't even when I ain't). I didn't know what that would be until 30 minutes ago when I was cleaning up yesterday's chronicle.

Nothing on this site is intentionally forever. I might revisit today's content fifteen years from now - with a bit of luck. I invented the ScrollAmendment component so that if something does change, especially something that I change, can be noted. A blip in the matrix recorded. So many words to say that cipher has now updated this component to require a date to be passed.

I wrote this:

They did that:

Sharpening these:

Yes, lulu: I know what this means. And what it did in two minutes, 12 seconds was incredible. When it found scroll amendments without a date and used the Git history to solve a problem I never even hinted at - fun to watch live. It would have taken me a half day to accomplish what it did before I could even return with a fresh cup of coffee.

Second point being, that content wasn't there when this was originally released. Now with dates!
