 - Package blog and page for fedora, arch, and debian.
 
+  I started by checking how to build for multiple architectures. I'll start building only for linux arm64 and x64 because building for darwin is a hassle (plus we have homebrew already).
+
+  For now I'll drop arch as a target, but I was able to set up rpm and deb packages. I also included a man page, which I had never written before. The syntax is pretty terrible.
+
+  Based on this experience I want to package lyricli like this. Being written in swift, I'm not sure how much of a hassle it is. Might re-write in rust.
+
 - Add gopher functionality (geomyidae) to page.

+2024-03-13: Man pages are stored gzipped. I should probably update my packaging to make sure the manpages are gzipped first.
+2024-03-11: You can iterate over several architectures in make by setting a variable to space separated values, then using the variable name as the target (eg. $(architectures):). Then you can access the value with $@
 2024-03-09: I misunderstood how expect() works in rust. In a Result it won't return Err, it'll panic. .map_err() and ok_or_else() are a closer way to offer the same result.
 2024-03-06: The definition of the first week in the ISO standard is the one that contains january 4th.
 2024-03-06: In lua os.time() if you pass month 13 or month -1, it correctly calculates the next or previous year, so you don't have to manually do that math.
