i can enjoy putting tooltips on the table of lunar minerals today, instead of planning complete domination of space.

i was starting to get sucked into that...

i'll post something on the rss, and switch the file naming system for it to 000.md, 001.md, ...

When I get 34% better at liquid I, the number could possibly be put as data in the file, and the filename given an actual meaning instead.

it certainly isn't onerous to do it this way though.

when it comes time again to take a new look at the structure of the website, what i hope to do is create templates for adding content.

Hohmannfan

Each page has "permanent content" and also a "user content" part?

kim holder

well, there shouldn't be a need to make a distinction

i'm thinking more of just creating a standard way to create new sections of the pages there are

Hohmannfan

But then you need some system for creating structure. Contributors should not have to think about that.

kim holder

exactly. jekyll can do that.

one can make pretty complex templates with it, including generators.

hm, they seem to have moved that page...

no, i was wrong - they just expanded it jekyllrb.com/docs/templates

and jekyllrb.com/docs/plugins

Q: What were the chances of failing the Apollo 11 mission?

What were the chances of the Apollo 11 mission failing? Consider the following scenarios: least one of the crewmembers dying, failing to land on the Moon, unable to return to Earth, the Soviets landing on the Moon first etc. Was it likely or improbable?
