hey travis are you still using rss to read these

I'm asymptotically preparing to having my Perl journal back in action. I don't currently remember if it has an RSS file.

Next steps:

• [x] Write out this list of steps
• [ ] Get 'er done https://github.com/thunderrabbit/Perl_driven_calendar_journal_from_2012/milestone/1
• [ ] Ask ChatGPT about preserving URLs
• [ ] Have a good think about preserving URLs (*)
• [x] Create an issue about navigation https://github.com/thunderrabbit/Perl_driven_calendar_journal_from_2012/issues/26
• [x] Finish writing this list of steps

(*) Currently,

• the Hugo journal sorts entries by the date in the frontmatter.
• the Hugo journal can show a single entry based on its title
• the Perl journal sorts entries by the file path (which includes date)
• the Perl journal cannot currently show a single entry based on its title

While it's easy enough to show a single entry based on its date and title, I'm not sure how I'd do prev-next links without editing the entries themselves. I prefer to have everything in as few files as possible. I especially don't want stuff in a database because that format is way harder to read than flat files.

BUT(!) it would actually be awesome to have some previous and next tags actually in the HTML.

Just a matter of programming:

1. to do it all the first time
2. as entries get added to the end
3. when entries get added in between existing entries

The end result would be something like

<!-- navigation --> Want more?

Prev: <a href="/journal/yyyy/mm/ddtitle">title</a> Next: <a href="/journal/yyyy/mm/ddtitle">title</a> <!-- /navigation -->

Hmmmm...

I've got a directory punnily named ~/yourfat where I put my fat (excess journal backups).

The Hugo journal has been broken for a few days oops. But now it's restored.

Next steps are

• [x] disable my Hugo journal creation script
• [ ] do the other steps
