Digital Spring Cleaning [en]

[fr] Nouveau design pour Digital Crumble, et quelques nettoyages de printemps pour Climb to the Stars (notez l'allègement du menu de navigation et des barres latérales, et l'apparition d'un gros pied de page truffé de liens et d'infos.

I’ve played about a bit with Climb to the Stars and Digital Crumble. It’s nice to dip one’s hands in a little HTML, CSS and PHP every now and again.

So, what have we got?

Digital Crumble has a brand new design. Whiter than the last one, but with enough pink to make me happy. (I customized it just a little.)

As for Climb to the Stars, the sad state of my sidebars had been bringing me down for months, so I finally decided to do something about it. I found a tutorial for adding a fat footer to Thesis and tried it out. I have to say that one thing I like about the Thesis theme I’m using here is the number of tutorials lying around to make just about any customization you can think of.

So, a lot of stuff that used to clutter up the sidebars is now in the fat footer at the bottom of each page.

While I was at it, I decided to have only one sidebar instead of two, and cleaned up the navigation bar at the top (most of the extra stuff is now in the footer). I also found a tutorial for moving the search form into the site header (and out of the sidebar!)

I had to fiddle around with both tutorials (mainly the CSS) until I got something I liked. I hope you’ll like it too!

    Même si je ne suis pas en train de vibe-coder à tour de bras, j’ai bien sauté dans le train côté IA. Depuis deux ans environ, je dis que ce que je ressens concernant l’importance et le potentiel de l’IA générative est quelque chose que je n’ai pas senti depuis ma découverte d’internet il y … Continue reading "La clé du véritable assistant IA: l’infrastructure IA personnelle (PAI)"
  • Anthropic payment woes – resolved13.04.2026
    TL;DR: enter card details manually, not using Link, if you need to change your payment method and it’s stuck. Three days ago my Claude Pro subscription was up for renewal but I’d forgotten to top-up the prepaid credit card I use for this. It was (logically) declined and my subscription was suspended.  I was using … Continue reading "Anthropic payment woes – resolved"
  • The Wild Magical World of AI (LLMs)05.04.2026
    End 2024 is when I really started to get going with “AI” (or LLMs – I know saying “AI” is kinda wrong, but there seems to be no good way to escape it right now). I’d been dabbling a bit before that: as a search engine, to help me with my excel formulas at work, or … Continue reading "The Wild Magical World of AI (LLMs)"
  • Titres, écriture, initiation de tâches, et IA03.04.2026
    Devoir mettre un titre à un article, c’est clairement un frein à l’initiation de la tâche “écrire un article”. Vous avez déjà remarqué ça? De mon point de vue, c’est aussi une des raisons pour lesquelles ce qui se racontait sur les blogs à gentiment migré vers les réseaux. Sur Facebook ou LinkedIn, nul besoin … Continue reading "Titres, écriture, initiation de tâches, et IA"

    A friendly colleague I share some geeky interests with told me today I was courageous to announce my blogging intentions yesterday. I told him “not that much”, because if I didn’t stick to my declaration of intent, it’s not something I’d feel terribly bad about. Writing that quick post yesterday made me feel a bit … Continue reading "Today is Tomorrow"
