Applying design to my IFTTT applets

I have been using IFTTT applets for a while and they have become unüberschaubar , that is, hard to take in.

There were just too many, and too much text explaining what each was doing, so I decided to fix that.

First by inventing some kind of boilerplate for the applet names. Then by adding emojis.

And I think that these work better now. I don’t have to actually read them to know which is which. I can look for the symbol, the words Backup, Goodreads, or Loop, and then, after confirming that this might be the right one I need to edit (because I tend to do that), only then will I have to read what they do, and thanks to the boilerplate, I can soon ignore the boilerplate and just scan for the key words.

I hope this will reduce cognitive load. I now know that my backup automations all use the word Backup, that my Goodreads automation each use Goodreads, and that my looping ecosystem, where my own Social Media Content gets either posted on my own website (like songs I have recently liked on Spotify, or what I am watching right now gets logged on Trakt and then sent to my website) or where articles from my website get posted on Social Media get sent out, is called Loops.

I find I keep saying that too often, but a search function is the most important thing when dealing with life (and work) online.

There is also a workaround for posting these posts to my own mastodon instance’s personal account in the pipes, but that will take several vibe codings at ambient temperature to get right.

Seeing renewed life on the oekaki board makes me so happy, I made myself a new icon for myself on it! I did the sketch and lines on my phone with my finger and then touched up/coloured on my ipad.

Hiiii ! Hope this blog isn’t dead — I just wanted to ask what the differences were between posts that are tagged Oekaki and Not Oekaki — does it depend on the forum it was posted on, or the art style? It’s a little confusing to me since I haven’t heard this term before. ^^

Hi, the tags "oekaki" or "not oekaki" are how we categorize which pieces were drawn on an oekaki using the java applet drawing programs. Oekakis were online message boards that provided onsite drawing programs for you to draw on, which was often the next most accessible drawing program at the time next to MS Paint.

For the time period we focused on, the only available java applet drawing programs on oekakis were OekakiBBS (basically superceded by PaintBBS), PaintBBS, and ShiPainter. They all had little their little quirks and techniques that are visible on finished drawings drawn on an oekaki. If we can tell from these quirks that the drawing was likely drawn in an oekaki applet, we tag it as Oekaki.

Inspired by that one person who uses my IFTTT applet “Mastodon Backup to OneNote and OneDrive” I’ve published another one of the applets I use for my own backup system: this time I’ve published the one I use for backing up my Instagram posts to OneNote (as a page), and to OneDrive (as a jpeg and the post’s text as txt file.

You can check it out here, and scroll the screenshot below to see how it works.

Как создать и запустить у себя Java апплет в 2024 году?

Апплеты - устаревшая технология, которая позволяла запускать java-программы в браузере пользователя.

В JDK 9 они были объявлены устаревшими, а в JDK 11 их уже не было. Поэтому в первую очередь на компьютере нам понадобится JDK 8

В папке создаём java-файл и html-файл

Java-код для простого апплета, состоящего из надписи и кнопки

HTML-код

Открываем командную строку (это можн�� сделать прямо из папки, кликнув на путь к ней в проводнике и введя "cmd", enter), компилируем MyApplet.java, после чего запускаем апплет командой "appletviewer Applet.html"

Готово

i know im insane but there's gotta be a gimp 2.6 esque barebones drawing program for android. krita comes pretty close but it's still not janky enough
