When the beard comes off
I’ve had a beard for as long as I’ve been able to grow one. A few years before I could grow a decent one, and a few years and counting after it began to betray my age. It’s very much part of my identity. Post, a few days tardy, for the July 2026 IndieWeb Carnival hosted by Joe Crawford . My dad had a beard until my late teenage years. He was also a volunteer fireman. Late in that…
Rust Book, Chapter 7: Packages, Crates, and Modules
The way Rust organizes code can be tricky for Scala developers. The concepts do not map one-to-one. Further confusing matters, Rust packages are not the closest thing to Scala packages. There are loose translations to Scala to help us get our bearings. Packages and crates # In Rust, a crate is the unit of compilation. It’s either a binary crate or a library crate. The binary artifact is…

Spent a hot afternoon indoors answering 100 Questions for Webmasters: https://rossabaker.com/blog/100-questions-for-webmasters/

Trivial, but I created a Rust service to redirect to a random entry in my blogroll; no JS required. It fits well in my footer with the webrings. https://codeberg.org/rossabaker/blogroll-the-dice
100 Questions for Webmasters
100 Questions for Webmasters seemed like a good way to spend a day where the heat index is approaching 100°F. Please introduce yourself. Check my About page or Mastodon intro . How long have you been making websites? My first was in 1996. It was named after my dog. I spent some time in the silo wilderness, but got serious again in 2022. And what got you into the hobby? I’ve been a programmer…

It’s almost 1am and I don’t need to start a Rust project to parse my TOML and redirect to a random blogroll entry because I don’t want to add JavaScript to my mostly static site. Or do I?

Me, 25 years ago: writing awk scripts to figure out which browsers I need to support. Me, tonight: writing awk scripts to figure out which bots I need to damn.

Finally got around to starting a blogroll. Originally, “logrolling” was a sort of mutual aid: neighbors coming together to clear the timber that one family alone could not. It only later took on its more cynical connotations of cronies trading favors. I don’t expect anything in return, but it’s hard times for the Web, and I’m happy to (b)logroll the ones keeping it…

Riffing on an 88x31 web badge for my site over lunch… 88x31 retro web image. Background is sky blue with puffy white clouds. In a lowercase comic style font, it says “a perfectly cromulent engineer” in crimson with a yellow outline to emphasize cromulent.
