I have more 12 responsibilities at my job now that I've been there over a year, and tending 13 to the needs of my youngest child seems to take a bit more of my emotional 14 energy. So instead of attempting anything challenging, I'm hoping to futz 15 around with a few computer things. I don't know how many will even qualify 16 as "programming" per se, but they're generally coding-adjacent. Some of my 17 ideas: 18 19 - Make improvements to my blog here, and how I author it 20 - Figure out how to better do some things in (neo)vim 21 - Automate a couple infrequent but tedious tasks 22 23 I might play with new languages or paradigms (because it's fun), but that's 24 not a high priority this month. 25 26 E.g.: today I added [Open Graph](https://ogp.me/) metadata to my Hugo 27 template so that my posts will look better on the Fediverse. I got most of 28 what I needed from these posts: 29 30 - [Mastodon and Open 31 Graph](https://leancrew.com/all-this/2023/02/mastodon-and-open-graph/) 32 - [Blog 33 Previews](https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/05/08/Blog-Preview) 34 35 I recently tweaked my pixel art favicon and I like the colors better, and my 36 default card image is a larger version of that. In a later update I'd like 37 to use post-specific previews, but this is a start.
