I made another little page with a bunch of videos on it. This time, it's watch assembly. Fun little experiment. Not as cool as the music video version, though.

I had a recent realization that WASM could be used to password protect files on a static site. Basically, you encrypt files before shipping them to prod. Then, use WASM to decrypt them on the front-end. I did a write up with prototype code here: al9000.com/rust/wasm/st...

just realized you can use wasm to password protect pages on a static site. cleartext page has a function that accepts a password, fetches files and then passes them to the wasm process that decrypts them and passes them back for display.

I'm working on a project that doesn't fit into localStorage. I couldn't find a concise post on how to use IndexedDB with vanilla javascript. wrote this up to pay it forward: www.alanwsmith.com/en/3b/yu/de/...

I updated my JavaScript array shuffling post to use `crypto.getRandomValues()` instead of `Math.random()` for better randomness. Probably doesn't matter for most cases, but why not go with the "cryptographically strong random values"?

I set up a nice way to use file names to toggle between default/fallback files and customized ones during static site generation.

Some folks like ISO 8610. I'm an RFC 3339 man, myself. I still respect the crazy kids with their RFC 9557, though.

I'm playing with WebAssembly/wasm in rust. I made an chopped down set of instructions for the `alert("Hello, world")` example I see everywhere. I also made an example where you click a button since that's more what I'm after most of the time.

I gave AI another shot for a coding question and had a good experience. The biggest change was that I wrote the prompt the same way I'd write a a stack overflow question: As direct as possible with a refined, minimal code example as a starting point.

A photo of a smooth, dark rock that's about the side of a grapefruit with googly eyes on it. It's resting in sandy dirt overlooking a canyon in the background. There's text above the rock that says 'There are no rules!'
