So totally off the TiddlyWiki track for a moment:
Mark, you had me a "solar cooker". To me, there is nothing that is more
environmentally friendly than building a solar cooker, and nothing more
sustainable than using the energy of the sun. Well, in summertime, to
avoid generating heat inside the house. I had thought of buying something
pre-frabricated, but what I've found is so frigging expensive. So I must
find the time and quickly build one next summer.
I've been so focused on winter time heating, and just recently really
focused on the notion of "heating oneself instead of heating the entire
room."
- For anybody interested, check out the thread of discussion "making the
best of electric heat" at permies.com
<https://permies.com/t/4906/making-electric-heat>
- I am experimenting with a USB Lens Heater as a portable (using a
power bank) and free energy (charging the power bank via solar panels)
method of heating oneself (my notes here
<https://intertwingularityslicendice.neocities.org/CJ_ProductReviews.html#USB%20Lens%20Warmer%20as%20Personal%20Heater>
)
Back to TiddlyWiki:
Well, not so much that I want to support Internet Explorer. That thing
cannot go the way of the dodo quick enough for my liking.
And trying to support all the browsers in the wild is much too great of a
pain in the caboose for my liking. I see no joy in that.
I much prefer the approach: I've got this thing working on my computer and
browser; now, how do I go about simply making sure that if this doesn't
work for somebody out there, that it just gracefully does nothing at all
versus generate some nasty javascript error.
Tones had suggested an alternative approach using wikitext/macros. Let me
go find that thread, and I'll link to that in reply to Tones' reply (right
after yours) in this thread.
Cheers !
