ab working well

For the past few days I have been working on AB.

For years, I have been working on their frontend and backend servers, abf, and abb, respectively. Alfonzo suggested we split abb and abf because they serve quite different purposes. One for clients; the other for admins.

That split happened years ago and has been a great boon to keep things simple and safer to deploy and test.

The only downside of this is some of the low level code needs to receive similar changes on both sites. But now both of them are working on a server running PHP 8.1, with PHP 8.3 in the future.

To boost the security, I added 2FA to the admin site. I even used KMS to store the seeds so they're harder to spill.

In other news, soon I'll be working on my own version of the image server they use.

crying over 2003

(written 08:08 Friday 25 April 2025 ACST)

It's been approximately twenty-two years since I ended up ending things with j and to be honest, I'm still not over the loss of the incredible connection we had. Why did it have to be this way?

In related, news, I have been manually reverting my old journal entries in my markdown journal (powered by Hugo) back into HTML entries for use in my older journal (powered by pure perl) which couldn't, but now can, parse markdown.

Parsing that sentence, I can find some issues, but the main issue with my Perl journal not parsing markdown has been solved enough that even if I cannot keep all the URLs working the way I hoped, Imma go back to using my Perl journal at /journal. That means the new perl powered URL mightttt end up being https://www.robnugen.com/journal.pl instead of https://www.robnugen.com/journal/ but that's okay with me because I love love love the calendar, That Guy love(s|d) the calendar, and it's so much better with the calendar. Plus, it's meant for humans, not bots, so I only write it for present Rob, future Rob and my forever fans.

I love you guys and am so grateful for our connection.
