The site

I started putting this site together in 1999. It's a fun hobby -- I pick up bits and pieces of knowledge about web site programming and design, and (God willing) come into a little more fluency in expressing myself. These are posts about developing and maintaining the site.

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 UTF-8

Hm. Non-ASCII characters in the blog don't seem to be rendering correctly anymore. Sorry... at some point I will figure out why and fix it, but not today. eéäoö what's weird is if I enter non-ASCII characters in a new post, they render correctly...

🦋 Future of the site

The READIN blog may have come to an end. The host will be upgrading PHP from 5.6 to 7.3 (or rather, has done so at some point in the past and will soon be disabling 5.6.) I'm pretty sure the current script will not run in 7.3; I could probably figure out how to upgrade the script but not sure I will take the initiative any time soon.

Ok, it is working now (by and large) as of October 1 -- will seek out and fix broken features in the coming days and weeks.
