    March 2025 theme fixes

    Daniel finally noticed that the stock Perplex theme has a number of flaws, so he has fixed the most important ones for his sites.

    Daniel is planning on, over time, finally building his own theme (at least then any bugs are his), a project he started but abandoned over a year ago. In the meantime he is planning on refactoring the Perplex layouts and CSS.

    Trying Privacy Friendly Web Analytics

    The operator of this site has decided to try out Ahrefs Web Analytics, which bills itself as a “simple, privacy-friendly solution for monitoring your website’s usage”.

    Hopefully this will allow more insight into real (vs bot) traffic and use of this site.

    Catch Up 27 October, 2024

    Catch up with major site changes and updates, especially the removal of many no longer relevant or lower quality pages.

    I’ve removed quite a number of pages that I believe to no longer be relevant, or which were of lower quality than I want to have on the site. In addition, I have fixed an issue with the Perplex theme with new Hugo. For my (minor) fixes you can see:

    • https://gitlab.com/danielfdickinson/bowman2001-perplex/
    • https://gitlab.com/danielfdickinson/bowman2001-hugo-mod-image/

    I have also updated my resume (HTML and PDF).

    Finally, I have made external links open in a new tab as this is standard practise and tools and users expect it.

    Older versions of this site may be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine (which is back online after suffering multiple cyber-attacks) at: https://web.archive.org/web/*/www.wildtechgarden.ca*.
