New Site Update - Cookie Warnings and Privacy Policy
The latest update has been to add a cooking warning and a privacy policy to this site. It's not strictly a necessity at this point but it's quite likely to be needed in future evolutions of the site. I don't particlarly intend to use this website for anything other than advertising myself and maybe sharing a few nice things I wrote with the world, but I think it's better to err on the side of caution.
In addition, I decided to write my own as I don't like many of off the shelf implementations and I wanted something that doesn't detract too heavily from the user's experience. I decided to implement the change as a pure Javascript process which led me to dusting off an old Javascript test framework I wrote a few years ago. It seemed to work surprisingly well for some code I last looked at in 2013. The only real problem with it was that it felt like it had been left behind by technology advances. Writing pure Javascript served as a useful reminder of why so many developers prefer to work with TypeScript these days
