OK so I tried to update Joomla back in may and the upgrade completely did not work and broke ALL my shit. So I've basically had no website, which is okay, I don't think people actually check my website for stuff these days.
But, what I will say, is that I have made the irrational decision to build the replacement from the ground up using the youtube API so that i can't possibly fuck up an upgrade like that again. This has reminded me that I hate javascript oh so very much.
Anyway here's some things I did today including: building an extra layer into my personal flask setup so as to obscure my youtube api credentials & make pulling out the fields I need far simpler because the youtube api sucks ass.
it's not done but its 7 PM and i don't wanna look at javascript or css anymore.
