As usual, just knocking out the hit titles! Canvas Catalog just doesn’t have much in terms of options. That’s been tricky for us. We do a number of odd things. We’re getting around this so far by using the ability to put custom javascript at the catalog or sub-catalog level. It’s not what I dream […]

This takes the previous persona builder and shows it working with the OpenAI LTI. I’ve spent about 50 cents in testing so far over three days. That’s using the ChatGPT 4 model. Pricing is based on tokens which loosely equate to computing cycles. There are different rates for different models. I think this would be […]
I took some of the Mozilla example code and tweaked it a tiny bit. Pretty crazy what you can do now with voice in the browser. The example below should let you record you voice to text and then have it speak that text back to you. See the Pen speech stuff by Tom (@twwoodward) […]

I would have been better off reading the blog post that generated the presentation and led to the creation of this page for our environmentally-focused Digital Detox. Why work on energy-efficient websites? I wanted […]

While I had a variety of interactions with Catalog back at VCU, I wasn’t deeply involved and most of our goals were fairly linear. It’s […]
Heroku got rid of the their free access a while back. I have one Node JS app on there that knits together a Slack form and WordPress site. I went to the trouble of upgrading to the bottom tier paid account with Heroku. It’s $5 a month. At that point, I thought I was done. […]
This is a pattern I’ve done on a couple sites recently that I want to put somewhere handy. Bootstrap stretched-link Often you want a whole div and its components to be clickable as a link. Trying to wrap the whole thing up as a link often doesn’t work well. Making lots of links is messy. […]
This is another solution for the social science research site. Each fix seems to spawn a new minor, yet complex, problem. It’s easy to see how some web site costs get out of control. Hopefully this one will be the end of things. In our previous episode, we made a fixed bottom navigation to standardize […]
I did some work making Gravity Forms create Events Calendar events back in 2017. Things have gotten easier with the Gravity Forms Advanced Post Creation plugin. I used this on the Anti-Racism site and forgot to document it. First set up your form so it gets you the data you need. You’ll need something like […]
