tinylog

The tinylog is dead, long live the tinylog.

I have mixed feelings about the tiny log format, I don't think it particularly makes sense for free flow writing. While it does make sense for something like a changelog, or even for my use of it as a photo log. The changelog is very paradigm specific and each entry highly correlated to the last, and the photo log is mostly just the photo and clicking through to a single page with just one photo doesn't make much sense when you could link the photo directly if you wanted that.

The lack of anchors made sharing a specific entry difficult, and I suspect for similar reasons the format doesn't really work with how all but a single site do aggregation.

I was also never quite sure what was a tinylog entry vs. a general site post, to be fair I am still not entirely sure. I've decided to use this section of my site for things that are more technical or meta technical to the site itself. Like talking about tinylogs.
