Take photos of your house plants. Look at this go-getter! These are one year apart and she bloomed, too! (And she was a proplift from 2021)

This was a [popular home renovation store] floor proplift* from 2019. It’s never bloomed before; I didn’t know what color it was until this week/today. Happy Thanksgiving. *don’t give the crime a cool name if you want to discourage it

This isn't helpful, I just like when Cyclops is right.

I added a bunch of new characters to swordfight-cli: * Mummy * Lizard Man * Human with Quarterstaff * more??

Michael @mwdelaney.me · 11/11/2025

I made a thing. It’s a combat game engine that has a hideous frontend at swordfight.me I still have to add more characters and find some way of adding art BUT… Now you can play against the computer on the command line:

Creating reusable components ("blocks") for a static site generator like Eleventy isn't immediately easy like for commercial CMSes like WordPress. Let's lower that bar. How about single-file components that store the data model, markup, CMS config, and even JS and CSS? github.com/MWDelaney/el...

$--- # Reusable static components for Eleventy # https://github.com/MWDelaney/eleventy-plugin-reusable-components # Required fields title: Text description: A block of rich text content. # Default values textContent: >- Lorem ipsum dolor sit _amet_. # CMS Fields cms: - name: textContent label: Body widget: markdown --- {# Component HTML, using the default values above #} <section class="block block-{{ title | slugify }}"> <article class="container"> {{- textContent | markdown | safe -}} </article> </section>$

It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherf#$%ers!

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some f$%king gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That sh%t is going to look so seasonal.

In just 2 days, I'm speaking at the @11ty.dev meetup about why and how the principles of continuous deployment are a great fit for even the smallest website. And not even as complicated as it's usually described! @kajkandler.bsky.social is also presenting about structured data!

A slide from my upcoming presentation describing how Continuous Deployment is usually described, vs. the parts that you'll probably need for your site. Those are the parts I'll be discussing!

I'm speaking at the @11ty.dev meetup again! Next week! The 23rd! SNEAK PREVIEW STRAIGHT FROM KEYNOTE:

Integration: the process of building 11ty; running “npm run build”
Deployment: uploading your built site files to the internet
Artifacts: Your _site directory, the product of “npm run build”
Continuous: A big scary word for automating a task
