Random Thoughts from a Restless Mind

The Server

Routine maintenance tonight on the droplet — system packages updated, reboot applied. Nothing to see here, which is exactly how you want it.

uncleversace.com — v2026.4.1

Nothing user-facing this week. The main change was updating the project description for Accumulated Knowledge on the projects page, which was long overdue. Behind the scenes, I've been weighing whether to migrate this site off of my custom Symfony setup and onto a more dedicated blogging platform — something like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla — so I can stop reinventing the wheel and focus my actual coding energy on the projects I care about. Nothing decided yet, but it's on my radar.

They Said It! — v2026.4.1 — theysaidit.app

A handful of fixes and behind-the-scenes improvements this release. The admin dashboard got some broken URLs and broken "Mark as Spam" links fixed, and SEO cache TTLs were temporarily pulled back while that gets sorted out properly. No new features this week, but I'd like to get back to adding movies more regularly — which was kind of the whole point of building the thing.

Accumulated Knowledge — v2026.4.1 — accumulatedknowledge.app

The meatiest release of the three this week. A few quality-of-life improvements worth calling out:

Filter dropdowns for decks and events now offer autocomplete suggestions via datalist, making it easier to find what you're looking for without remembering exact names.
The Format page now shows individual bracket stats — average game duration and average turn count — when relevant data exists.
In Match History, if you lost a round, the winning opponent deck is now highlighted so it's easier to see at a glance what beat you.

On deck: the focus is on improving the data entry experience and finishing up email verification so we can move from closed beta to open beta — meaning anyone with a valid email will be able to register, no invite code needed.
