Changes

2026-11-03

Domain. The site is thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me. Mail is thewhitewitchtm@sociallydead.me.
Blog. The count after Blog is gone, in the menu and on the page. The other shelves still show theirs.
Links. Mira’s World and LibreSky use their sociallydead names.

Portraits. Mira is a column on the left of the text. The witch is a column on the right. They are in the page row, so a blog or an article opens with a picture on each side. On the home page they fade in as the banner scrolls up, then stay beside the text while the page moves. A phone hides the columns. A wide window does not.
Scroll. The window was locked at one screen, so the banner never left and the portraits never faded in. The page scrolls again. Page Down, the wheel, and the touchpad all move it.
Type. Post and page text is set at reading size, left aligned, with the light GitHub rules under the headings taken off. The home introduction stays centered.

Blog. Mira and I Are Getting Divorced. The witch is writing. She keeps this room. Mira keeps the desk, the name, and Mira’s World. Sarcasm stays shared. It is on the front page.
Mira. A round portrait sits in the header, just before the Ukraine flag. Click it and a card swings open. Mira is the person behind the White Witch. The hat is the job. About and Mira’s World are on the card.
Menu. MAGIC is off this menu again. Tools is off the menu too. The wizards are still at /tools/. Content opens straight down: Highlights, a separator, then the rest. Downloads stays off the Content menu. The page is still at /downloads/.
Counts. Blog, Highlights, Articles, Rants, Shorts, and Videos each show a count. An empty shelf shows (0). The same number is on the page title.
Writing. The articles and the school rant were marked highlight, and the Highlights page was looking for highlights, so that shelf was empty and the front page never listed them. They show on the front page and under Highlights again.

Banner. The home banner is the White Witch banner again: Mira on the left, the title, the witch on the right. The picture address carries the build id, so a reload cannot keep the Mira-only file. The banner fits the window, so the witch is not cut off the right edge. The Apple icon, the home-screen icons, preview.jpg, and og.jpg are the witch set again. The Ukraine flag stays.
I support Ukraine. A flag sits in the header, just before Buy me a coffee. Click it and the door swings open. The page is I support Ukraine. Content and MAGIC open in two columns.

RETRO Center. A Qt shelf for the C64, the Apple II, the TI-99/4A, the Amiga, and the Atari ST. Power on starts the emulator. Classics on the shelf are cards. The page is RETRO Center. The repo is RETRO-Center.
Retro menu. RETRO Toolchain and RETRO Center sit with RETRO MAGIC and RETRO Studio. The toolchain had a repo and a blog post. It has a page now.
Blog. The Shelf Has a Power Button.

LibreSky. The long site was still introducing itself as politics only. The front page, the menu, the footer, the about page, and the head tags now name LibreSky, the Bluesky client. Edit, voice, video, and chat. The password stays with Bluesky.
Blog. The Breadbox Has a Compiler Now. Assembler, C, Pascal, BASIC, and Space Invaders. The repo is RETRO-Toolchain.

MAGIC Overview is the first item in the MAGIC menu. MAGIC Overview is the short map: the goal, the five pages, and the five repos.
MAGIC sits in the menu after Content. The items read MAGIC, MAGIC Studio, and MAGIC Apprentice. A separator comes next. Under it: RETRO MAGIC and RETRO Studio. The two compilers are not one menu item. Repos: MAGIC, MAGIC Studio, MAGIC Apprentice, RETRO-MAGIC, and RETRO-Studio.
Blog. I Wrote BASIC for Three Dead Machines So the Feed Could Wait. RETRO MAGIC and RETRO Studio, in the usual tone.

Play opens Emoji Games in a new tab. This site stays where it was.
Open as app. Chrome and Edge show an install bar when the site can be installed. The button opens the browser’s install prompt. iPhone and iPad get the Add to Home Screen hint instead. Dismiss it and it stays dismissed on that browser.

Play leaves this site. The menu item opens Emoji Games. Old /games/ addresses redirect to the same games over there.
X previews. Blog and Rants pointed at image files that were not in the repo, so the card image 404’d. Those cards are in, at 1200×630. The default card is /assets/images/og.jpg, also 1200×630. Head tags now send an absolute og:image and twitter:image, plus type, width, and height when the size is known. Blog posts use the blog card. Rants use the rants card.
App Icon Wizard at /tools/icon-wizard/. Drop an image and it builds the iOS and web-app sizes (favicon, apple-touch, 192, 512, maskable), plus a manifest and a zip. It stays in the browser.
Install as app. manifest.webmanifest, home-screen icons, and a service worker so the browser can offer install / open as app.
