fae radio progress !
Apr. 23rd, 2026 11:53 amfirst off - did finally figure out how to make tumblr embed posts cooperate with setup . still not quite ideal personally , but for hack together , think work alright . only 2 songs in there anyway , so can be done pretty quick :P
but secondly , more proudly , learn how to cachebust ! originally have entire lists of songs and player scripts within page source code just as is , as know separate scripts would get stuck in cache . people would see entirely different versions of page that might break as those scripts change , and have no way to give everyone at once correct instructions , so feel better to just sidestep and have everything baked in .
but with sheer size of these lists , neocities editor start to lag slightly , and imagine would just get worse . so decide to hunker down and learn simple cachebust :) honestly that code is very much spaghetti still , but this at least completely get rid of editor lag ! this should also make easier to maintain other radio pages , as now only need to edit 1 master copy of player scripts .
