Phew! Finally done with the website code updates.

Website Updates

You might notice that there's now a project tab on the navigation bar. That's where all the projects will go. The code's there but I haven't gotten around to actually filling it up. I'll do it as I get the time.

There's now a tag-based filtering feature in the articles page! It was slightly tricky to implement but it integrated pretty nicely with the existing code (and I managed to get rid of a lot of redundant code in the process). You can also filter based on the article title as well.

A lot of effort that I can't show you went into reorganising/redoing the admin panel, including writing a JS applet thing and replacing the existing HTML form with getElementByIds and addEventListeners littered all over the place. The new Javascript frameworks really do take away a lot of the busywork that goes into writing web applications.

Other minor adjustments are present in places like the footer, the title logo and elsewhere.


Youtube Channel

22 subscribers? Wow. Finally broke the big barrier huh? It's all thanks to the cash cow (or view-cow) video that's on the channel. In commemoration of this momentous occasion I've uploaded another piece of music. Go check it out!

Expect another youtube video that refers to at least some part of pop culture.


Stretcherdrill?

It's, uh... Coming soon! Yeah. Stay Tuned!... Right.


Future Plans

I've been neglecting the big secret future project (and filling my resume) for a while now and I want to get back to it. So you have to keep expecting low value stuff in the coming months, but I'll try to put more work into Youtube. I want to at least get the secret project into an enjoyable/playable state before focusing on other stuff.

Well, that's pretty much it for now. See you next time!
