+description=Mainly website workings.
+---
+
+My birthday was this week! I advance slowly through time :)
+
+I also did a few different things on my website:
+
+I got the Atom feed generating again! And that's the last thing I wanted working
+before I published a weeknote! So I was able to publish
+<a href="weeknotes-14.html">weeknotes 14</a> (very late).
+
+The webserver behind my website is called awake. I added a function for
+parsing dates. It uses the <a href="https://crates.io/crates/time">time crate</a>
+and can parse a date that may or may not have a time and timezone. The timezone
+stuff only knows about US Central time because that's where I am and it's just a small
+thing for me so I don't need to support all the chaos of international date-time.
+
+Also with awake: I improved the logging a touch. Previously all I logged was the path
+requested but now, with it, I stick an ID that should be unique to each client. Inspired by how
+<a href="https://alexwlchan.net/privacy/">Alex Chan collects analytics</a>, I hash the
+IP address, User Agent, and date to get a kind of unique ID.
+
+And towards the end of my week I put together a page for an old project I really enjoy.
+I'd really like it if you looked at <a href="/things/memoryleak/">memoryleak</a>. I
+might change the layout in the future, but I'm happy with it for the time being.
+
+<hr />
+
+It feels a little rambly this week but so do I! And maybe that reflects my internal
+state more completly. Hopefully I'll be on time next week.
+
+goodbye for now :)
