Blog

Notes on building this site, and whatever else I happen to be tinkering with.

How /blog/page/2 and /blog/post/my-slug work under the hood with a single rewrite rule.

Logging page views and referrers into a simple table, without third-party trackers.

A minimal, dependency-free OAuth2 implementation using cURL for likes and comments.

A weekend project that turned into a recursive org-chart layout for my bloodline page.

Translating soft shadows, rounded corners, and generous whitespace from iOS into a responsive website.

Why I skipped the framework and went back to plain PHP and MySQLi for this site.
