For Ian George: may we continue to make beautiful things.

This site interfaces a few things that you might want to peek at.

Rellax took a load off

First off, there's rellax.js giving us nice smooth parallaxy images. Beautiful.

Podbean is sprouting into quite a complex integration

Next, and possibly more hacky, Podbean is not a friendly embed API. They embed in an iframe (eww) and do not provide many fields at all. I had to break into the RSS feed with a 20 year old XMLHttpRequest() and cipher that down to provide dynamic descriptions and dates.

Dates! Don't get me started with dates. These dates are formatted as a text string in the RSS XML. I just split them on space characters and rearranged them at will.

Important Note

• GitHub Pages is currently serving this on a side url /cover2creds
• {{ site.baseurl }} is set to all internal urls so I don't have to type that a billion times.
• This means you might need to use bundle exec jekyll s --baseurl '' when you're doing that localhost servy thing to set the baseurl to an empty string (instead of the baseurl that is set in config.yml).
