Some meta commentary: I wanted to fix a couple of typos in a 10-day-old post. The documentation of TTBP indicates: "however, changing old entries might cause strange things to happen with timestamps. the main program looks at the filename first for setting the date, then the last modified time to sort recent posts."
So I dug a bit into the source, and my conclusion on that is:
- make a backup of TTBP directory (I actually fucked that up, I just made a copy, and I would have lost timestamps if I had had to rely on that... oops)
- take note of the date of the file you want to edit
- edit the file
touch -d [date] [file]to set the date back- run

Caveat: no idea what happens on gopher. But, it seems to have worked well enough on main engine and on HTML file generation.
More meta thought: pondering whether I can/I should write a smol script that generates a paginated blog from feels entries, rather than a Very Long Page™.
Today was a good day, despite the "back from holiday" fatigue.
- Had brunch with a normally-out-of-town friend
- Had a nap
- Started coding a bit of Python for the aforementioned meta thought, it should be fairly straightforward
- Went to David Castello-Lopes' show, and it was hilarious (ta gueule le tilleul.)
