Summary

The delete image formatting bug, described below, is preventing me from making blog entries.

I'll pick this up again once it's fixed.

Hackaday.io is pants

I have just now discovered that pressing the delete key removes image formatting (float left/right, resize) and size information - when the cursor is positioned anywhere within the post.

This means that if I discover a typo and want to correct it, pressing the delete key anywhere in the text will remove image formatting tags throughout the post.

I really wish HAD had implemented one of the various standards, instead of rolling their own system. It's really difficult to interleave text and images in a pleasing manner, and viewing text on a differently-sized monitor makes my careful formatting look like crap.

The DocuWiki standard, or the MarkDown standard, or even html tags have specific renderings that can be relied upon, and they could have imported an open-source rendering library for any of these standards and saved months of work, debugging, and bug response.

Still working on the project

I'm still working on the project. I haven't been idle, I just haven't been blogging about it. Also the holidays came and went (both of them), and I was still a little fried from the contest.

At this point, I'm 'kinda blocked by the image formatting bug described above.

I got this for Christmas. The diagram is the bond activation energy for the conversion of Nitrogen and Hydrogen into Ammonia. Ignore the huge images - Hackaday.io keeps deleting the image size information.
