A day spent renovating the blog

Last night’s dream was pleasant and left me with interesting thoughts, though I cannot remember the details. By morning the excitement I had felt in the middle of the night had settled. That is probably good: when I am overexcited, I rarely make wise choices. Being clever is one thing; having judgment is harder and worth learning.

I meant to get a lot done today, but even without a nap there is only so much time. I spent most of the afternoon improving this blog. It took plenty of effort, but thinking of its long-term use kept me going. With Claude’s help I completed code work I had not expected to manage. That did not make it effortless: I still had to decide on the structure and check the details. Good references would make my work much better too. Developing taste takes time and attention.

I asked AI to organize the changes I made, and liked the result:

📢 The blog has had an update!

🔍 You can search it now, including Chinese posts by keyword.

🗂 Posts are organized as everyday essays and selected work, with tags to help you browse.

📲 You can install it on a phone or computer and read previously opened pages offline.

⚡ Compressed images and local assets make it faster and steadier to open.

🔎 Google has begun indexing it, so it can appear in search results.
