August Edition

Hey guys, hope you’re well! In this edition of Teru-rambles-on-about stuff I wanted to talk about what I’ve been up to in the past month.  

The main thing is doing work on the mobile version of the site. I wanted to have it done by ...

Templates like that...

Hey there, hope you’ve been well. For this exciting installment of my technical rants, I’m focusing on templates. No, not that kind. The web programming kind.

In order to make a long and boring story short, what I mean by template is a f...

Leveling up

Hey guys, hope you’re doing well. I don’t really have much to talk about in the way of new and exciting features or reworks, as a lot of that is still a work-in-progress and limited by the time I can spend coding. So instead I’ll be talking ...

Spoiler!

If you’ve been reading these posts regularly, then you’d know that the last time around I said I’d be working on the settings menu and on improving the browsing experience for mobile devices. That was the plan until something else annoyed me...

Spring Cleaning

I’ve been doing a bit of everything as of late and don’t have a unified theme for this entry. As is the nature of miscellanea, not much of it is interesting on its own. So I’m going to cherry pick a few things so that this doesn’t become t...

Archived Secrets part 2

A picture is worth a thousand words so here’s several:

Always a party

11 years isn't too shabby. Make sure to get to the party before the oni drink everything and a certain ghost eats all the food. 

Archived Secrets Part 1

Hey guys, I’ll be talking this time around about how the archiving system works on THP.  

The basic philosophy of KusabaX was that every board was an entity unto itself. This meant having potentially different CSS/themes, board-specif...

Behind the Curtain

It’s been a long and somewhat unproductive month for THP. Sometimes things are like that, sometimes it can’t be helped. Still, there were a few things I had in mind that needed doing. It took me a while to work out what to prioritize, but I en...

The year in review and what comes next

Once again I've bust out my dubious-quality microphone and recorded a few words just for you. Feel free to bask in the glory of my mellifluous voice mixed with lingering background noises as much as you like while folding laundry or looking for a ...

Yuletide Retrospective

The beginning of December saw THP migrate servers. It was a move I had planned for a very long time but hadn’t gotten around to for various reasons—mostly a mix of all the preparatory work that minimizing disruptions and finding a reliable new...

Miscellanea madness

Hey guys, hope you’re well. This time around I’ll be talking about some of the (relatively) smaller changes that happened to THP in the last few weeks. Yeah, I’m kinda milking the subject a little but I honestly do think that these things are w...

Relentless Typing Ensues

In case you haven't noticed, THP is running a NaNoWriMo-inspired contest where the objective is to get thirty updates out by the end of November. The r...

Looking ahead as many times as you like

One of the amazing and genius new features of the last round of site updates is the ability to preview posts. Today I wanted to take the chance about why this was implemented and how.  

It’s something that’s been suggested from time to tim...

Spit ‘n polish

Yesterday I pushed out some more changes to THP, mostly focused on fixing bugs and extending recently-introduced features. I put up a brief summary of things here 2018-10-17 13:21:12 +0000 UTC View Post

And just exactly what are you watching?

Hey guys, you may have noticed the new features on the site by now and I hope you’re enjoying them. I wanted to talk about one of the things that took the most work to implement: the watched threads feature.

But first, it’s worth bringing up wh...

More features and tiers

Hey guys, I've added a few more goodies to the site you can read about here. Other than that there's a few changes to this Patreon page that I decided to cover ...

Wherein I silently wonder if having Ran around would make for faster coding

Hey guys, hope you’re well. Though I’d give you a quick rundown on what I’ve been up to and some of the changes made to the site since the last post.  

If I’ve been doing my job correctly, you mostly wouldn’t have noticed the changes...

Patreon being balls

Hey guys, you may have noticed that there were some issues with payments this last month. Patreon has been a bit mum about that but from what I've been able to piece together it seems that they changed the location of where they're registered, prompt...

Change that doesn't look like change

Hey guys, hope you’re doing well, I wanted to take the time to talk a little about the last round of changes on the site.  

As you may have noticed, there were a few changes to the user-facing portion of the site, best exemplified by the new...

Some overdue changes

I've finalized some of the next raft of changes for THP and now made them live on the site. There's a lot that I'll probably talk about in one of my technical posts but the most noticeable thing is likely the new settings menu where you can set some ...

Filler up

I had hoped to have the latest additions I’ve been working on all sorted out by now but a combination of lack of time, project scope and testing has meant that things are coming along a little slower than I’d like. So I don’t really want to giv...

There's a party and you're invited

Good times with silly hats.

Tools of the trade

Hey guys, hope you’re doing well. I was aiming to have the next raft of changes to the site ready by now but life got in the way. Unexpected travel as well as being sick kept me from doing as much as I would have liked in February. I’ll be aiming...

Simplify for (Kusaba) X

In other entries I’ve talked about how much of a mess the site’s source code can seem like—a constant lack of comments, duplicated code instead of functions, unclear variable names, functionality spread across multiple files without clear relat...

The 5 Ws and a How of a Box

Hey guys, hope you’re doing well. This time around I wanted to talk about the latest updated stories tracker, probably better known as the mystery box. Specifically, why it took so long to roll out, especially given its relatively primitive current...

Unending mystery

The first form of the mystery box is revealed. More will come with time. 

Better late than, you know, the other thing.

Hope you guys have had a good start to the new year. This is the type of post that would have been better two weeks ago but keeping track of time can be such a chore, right? With most of the year ahead of us, it's still totally valid to make a 2018-01-22 01:09:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Onward to 2018

A short little message and recap for you guys. Proof that your favorite touhou is the best one to follow. 

Mountain out of a molehill

Hey guys, hope you’ve been well. This latest installment in “me rambling about technical stuff” is about a few relatively unexciting things that I worked on recently. Nonetheless, it illustrates why making changes to the site can be such a time...
