https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/ Julian's personal corner of the internet — music, comics, movies, games, things he makes, and things he finds. Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReplaced the fictional Comics fixtures with 60 issues and their real cached covers from Julian's local YACReader library, preserving its read/unread state without inventing ratings, favorites, creators, or notes. Replaced the sample Beat catalog with 51 unique MP3 bounces from Julian's folder, skipped two byte-identical duplicate exports, and preserved BPM values that were already present in filenames. Added a scalable unfiled-bounce ledger with full accessible players that load audio only when requested; dates, keys, statuses, versions, favorites, and notes remain honestly unfiled. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTTurned the TIME control into a real five-state scene switch with separate original dawn, day, evening, and night pixel landscapes; AUTO follows Oneonta time. Added a visible America/New_York clock and live Oneonta weather from Open-Meteo, with a short local cache, honest offline fallback, and weather-sensitive rain density and speed. Added a compact sky almanac for lunar phase and illumination, moonrise/moonset, tropical solar season, planetary day, and traditional planetary hour without presenting symbolic astrology as science. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAdded subtle dawn, day, evening, and night light states driven by the visitor's clock, with a locally saved manual override and New York site clock. Added an original file-backed two-axis mood signal, honest NO SIGNAL state, local visit memory, idle status, and time-aware homepage greetings. Added a tiny animated favicon, visibility-aware title, gentle arrival and hover feedback, long-page back-to-top control, keyboard shortcuts, and slower ambient weather variation without new dependencies or autoplay audio. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReworked Music, Beats, Games, and Internet compositions to fit the actual middle rail instead of relying on the full browser width. Kept players, record stacks, active-game spines, and long metadata inside their own rooms at desktop and tablet sizes. Made compact filters and dense layouts wrap cleanly on narrow phones without clipping content. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTChanged the shared font stack to the MS UI Gothic and NEC APC3 combination used for Dimden's main body text. Bundled the CC BY-SA 4.0 Web437 NEC APC3 regular and Nix8810 bold fallbacks with visible attribution. Kept the site's existing sizes and hierarchy while using unsmoothed rendering for the intended pixel-screen texture. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTNarrowed the shared three-column frame and reduced the global type, spacing, border, shadow, and color intensity. Rebuilt Home as a compact personal page made from prose, ordinary lists, current music, and direct links instead of a room-card dashboard. Simplified the directory and gave the right rail several quieter treatments while keeping rain, the cursor cat, audio, and each media room intact. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAdded the official Apple Music web player for Julian's current song on Home and Music. Kept playback user-started with no autoplay and retained a normal external Apple Music link as a fallback. Wrapped the third-party player in the site's own compact signal label without trying to fake or restyle Apple's controls. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTFiled KickAss (Pull Up Pls) by Che & Nettspend as Julian's current track using the exact song, single, genre, release date, duration, and Apple Music link. Added the song's public square artwork as a credited local asset and made it the homepage and sidebar Now Playing signal. Added a small typed Track model so future current-song notes stay distinct from albums and playlists. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTFiled Julian's public Apple Music playlist trimley as the first real Music item without inventing ratings, notes, or favorite-track claims. Replaced the homepage listening placeholder with the playlist and added a safe, visibly external Apple Music link. Added the playlist's actual public square artwork as a credited local asset and separated the real feature from fictional Music layout fixtures. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReworked the homepage opening into a personal front-door note using only Julian's supplied details: 21, from New Paltz, and currently at SUNY Oneonta. Gave the shared header an original offset typographic wordmark and moved real site history ahead of the still-unfiled media shelves. Stopped fictional fixture records from posing as current sidebar activity; empty current shelves now identify themselves honestly until real picks are filed. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogSat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAdded configurable canonical URLs, complete Open Graph and social-card metadata, an original rainy preview image, and a small site favicon. Added a generated public sitemap, robots rules that omit the hidden After Hours route, and absolute production-aware RSS links. Added a real ESLint pass and a built-site audit for internal links, local media, dynamic routes, metadata, external-link safety, Random destinations, feeds, and indexing files. Switched the shared type system to MS Gothic with local system fallbacks and moved the retired Space Mono files outside the public deployment bundle. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAdded one practical content guide with exact files, copyable records, media locations, and NOW-to-Archive instructions for every primary content type. Gave the main data arrays predictable exported names so routine updates stay in content files rather than presentation components. Added lightweight, dependency-free development validation for duplicate IDs/slugs, dates, statuses, ratings, URLs, media, tags, and structured entries. Exercised the guide with a temporary Journal route and verified a deliberate duplicate slug fails with a direct section-specific error. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAudited representative rooms, detail pages, utility pages, and the real 404 across six viewports from 320px phones through 1920px desktops. Corrected narrow-screen overflow in Movie details, Collection shelves, and the decorative album record without flattening their visual identities. Let the mobile directory keep its native keyboard behavior, strengthened secondary-text contrast, and verified the site's key keyboard interactions. Reduced the deployable pixel-art night background to one quarter of its former byte size while preserving the full-resolution source outside the public bundle. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReplaced repeated dashboard-like count panels with a record-bin label, comic long-box tab, game-manual memory page, and producer session sheet. Kept the stronger cinematic, broadcast, portal, live-transmission, and archive-cabinet compositions instead of redesigning them for novelty. Rebuilt About as a concise note by the front door rather than leaving the last primary route in the generic starter ledger. Formally reviewed Phase 11 and limited its new decorative animations to short, contextual motion with reduced-motion coverage. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTExpanded the centralized Random portal from section links into Comics, albums, movies, games, Journal entries, archived months, and clearly marked external web exits. Added an accessible tune-before-enter interaction instead of forcing a timed redirect, plus a quiet after-hours discovery behind the site status light. Added a custom missing-signal 404 with obvious recovery paths and restrained motion that respects reduced-motion preferences. Moved homepage version/update signals back to the central site configuration and advanced the single configured release marker to v0.3.0. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReplaced the generic Journal, Recipes, and Collection placeholders with dedicated indexes and static detail routes. Added lightweight structured Journal entries, kitchen-reference recipes with optional artwork, and data-derived physical Collection shelves. Connected physical objects to their canonical Comics, Music, Games, Movies, and Beats records without copying those sections' content. Added direct Journal links to homepage activity, local search, and RSS, plus clearly labeled fixtures for sparse, long, modified, and missing-image states. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTReplaced the generic NOW and Archive placeholders with dedicated editorial pages inside the established rainy site shell. Added a flexible life-snapshot model, a shared renderer, a data-grouped archive index, and permanent year/month routes with chronological navigation. Kept the editable current snapshot structurally separate from historical month modules so future NOW updates cannot mutate old capsules. Phase 9 review added automatic archive discovery, duplicate/path validation, frozen historical records, category-specific chapters, larger artwork, quiet-month handling, and a scalable year jump index. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/five-minute-weather-reporthttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/five-minute-weather-reportFri, 04 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTA short-entry layout fixture about noticing the room before the moment moves on. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogThu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAdded gallery, reviews, friends, guestbook, junk drawer, webrings, site files, search, directory, credits, changelog, RSS, and about.txt architecture. Retuned the shared shell to a cyan-led cyberpunk night with restrained magenta, violet, electric-blue, and acid-green signals. Added low-resolution pixel rain, an original Oneko-style cursor-chasing Julian cat, and explicit user-started procedural rain sound, plus a compact site-tunes player using the existing native-audio component. Expanded the homepage activity signal and Internet link stream without starting Phase 9. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changeloghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/changelogThu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTMoved the site into a constrained left-directory, main-room, and right-signal shell. Added original 88×31 buttons, denser page rhythm, and the nighttime independent-web backdrop. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/galleryhttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/galleryThu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe first larger site banner, drawn for the Phase 8.5 addendum. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/galleryhttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/galleryThu, 03 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMTAn original 88×31 button. The stream is ready for photos, drawings, screenshots, and visual obsessions later. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/what-a-personal-site-should-rememberhttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/what-a-personal-site-should-rememberSat, 29 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMTA long-entry fixture used to test headings, lists, quotations, and comfortable reading width. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/a-list-for-the-next-rainy-eveninghttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/a-list-for-the-next-rainy-eveningSun, 16 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMTA list-first fixture with no required preamble. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/the-best-corners-of-record-storeshttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/the-best-corners-of-record-storesWed, 22 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTA medium-length observation fixture. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/recommendation-note-templatehttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/recommendation-note-templateMon, 08 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMTA fixture showing that a recommendation can stay brief and direct. https://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/unfinished-work-still-countshttps://julian-personal-site.pages.dev/journal/unfinished-work-still-countsTue, 19 May 2026 12:00:00 GMTA thing-to-remember fixture.
