Home page changes

This is a list of times that I've moved or removed links on the home page (and other changes that might impact your ability to find what you're looking for). I try to keep URLs working, so if you bookmark specific pages, those bookmarks should still work, even when I change the home page.

I'm trying reverse chronological order this time (everything else on my site is currently in forward chronological or non-chronological order), so newest stuff is at the top.

19. # 2024-09-19: Changed the feed link on the homepage to include more items (one month instead of two weeks, and a minimum of five items). The old link should still work, and still give the same result as before. I also changed the "self" link to use the same parameters instead of pointing to the full feed; I don't know if any feed readers use this or what the result of this was (were some readers pulling all the entries rather than just the past two weeks?), but the W3C validator was complaining about it.
18. # 2024-07-26: In Writing Notebook 1, swapped "Strange battle" and "The Game", beacuse I think that order works better.
17. # 2024-07-18: Changed how the "Most characters in my stories use [pronouns]" option works:
    • If you've changed that option before (with JavaScript enabled), your previous setting will be lost. You'll have to change it again. The new setting will be sent to the server each time you load a page, whereas previously the setting was only used locally by JavaScript (unless JavaScript was disabled when you set it).
    • Previously, clicking on a pronoun affected by this setting would let you change the setting, and hovering over such a pronoun would show you the character's name. (Neither of these features were made obvious.) This has been disabled because I noticed it was causing problems with some screen readers. You can re-enable it.
    • Previously, "random pronouns" was only available if JavaScript was enabled; otherwise it would default to "ze/zem/zir". Now "random pronouns" is available and the default regardless of whether JavaScript is enabled.
    • I hope I didn't introduce any bugs with these changes.
16. # 2024-07-02: In Writing, moved the "new writing" section to the top, above "creative writing assignments".
15. # 2022-09-30: Moved Actions from my esoteric programming languages to a new Experimental Programming Languages page, and moved the links to both of these further down a bit on the Programming page
14. # 2021-07-27: Moved Conversion and calculations index page to Old and obsolete stuff
13. # 2021-06-16: Reorganized the options page
    • The "Other options" section is now at the top ("General options"). Moved "Math display" to a new "Math options" section, and "Slightly lower contrast" to the "Color scheme" section.
    • Moved some color schemes into a new "Gay" section
    • Rearranged the sections that correspond to specific sections of my website to be the same as the order on the home page.
    • Moved "Use wider margins" from "Story/creative writing" to "General", since I've been starting to apply it to things other than stories.
    • Removed the content warning option for "NSFW or sexual content (images)", because, as I'd already mentioned on the options page, there probably won't be any content in this category in the forseeable future.
12. # 2021-06-07:
    • Removed the link to xkcd thread formatter from the home page; it's in Old and obsolete stuff now.
11. # 2021-04-10:
    • Merged the fiction/writing (Stories etc., Constructed worlds) and music (compositions and synthesizer) sections, plus the art link from "Other", into a new "Other artistic/creative things" section.
    • Moved Undertone keyboard and Integer xylophone from the home page to the Music page.
10. # 2021-04-02:
    • Split "Fiction- and language-related" into separate fiction and language sections [now fiction is part of "Other artistic/creative things"]. My idiolect is now in a new "Things about me" section, near the bottom of the page.
    • Games: removed X/ from the home page and added Orb. Both are still on the full list of games.
    • Programming: Made a separate page for all my programming stuff; moved perl-repl (command line), Haskell stuff (including ChainCompare), and public suffix test to that page.
    • Moved My experience with (what I think is) derealization/depersonalization and My childhood misconceptions from "Other" to "Things about me".
9. # 2021-03-29:
   • Moved YT annotation downloader and some (but not all) user scripts, bookmarklets, etc. to a new Old and obsolete stuff page (currently in "Other"). xkcd thread formatter is also there, but I've kept it on the main page for now.
8. # 2019-12-18:
   • Moved Bookmarklets, user scripts, etc., Keyboard layouts, YT annotation downloader [now in old stuff], and HFS+ recovery attempt program to their own section (from "Other").
7. # 2018-12-02:
   • Made a section on the home page and a separate page for math stuff. Moved some things from Conversion and calculation things there, and moved Date anagrams off the home page to this new page.
   • Moved conlanging resources to the top of my conlang page, above my own languages. Also made it so my older languages are grouped together with my newer languages ("My conlangs" section) rather than my older writing systems ("Older things" section).
6. # 2018-11-12:
   • Made a games page; moved Minesweep, Hangman, Monty Hall, Reversi, and Walk and Jump there. Also moved the "Games" section higher on the home page.
5. # 2015-09-20:
   • Made a "Game-related" section on the home page. Moved Hangman and Monty Hall there [now they're on a separate page].
4. # 2015-09-04:
   • Moved Music compositions from "Other" to a new "Music" section [now in "Other artistic/creative things"].
3. # 2015-08-05:
   • Split the "Things I've made" section into "xkcd-related" and "Other".
2. # 2015-08-04:
   • Moved Constructed languages to the "Fiction/creative writing-related" section [now in "Language"].
1. # 2015-08-03 (or maybe 08-04):
   • Started this website.
