2021-11-28: Core Web Vitals: No Data
GSC is claiming 'no data' for CWVs again, but I still otherwise seem to be OK.
2021-11-27: Product with Review
The first page with database-sourced Product
information/review went in today.
2021-11-26: Event with Review
The database-sourced Event
system now supports Review
and ratings (eg out of 5).
2021-11-25: Event Structured Data
Google seems to keep changing its mind about how it wants to see structured data for Event
, Product
, Review
and similar. And some of the structure is complex and ambiguous. Manually updating the tens of such items in EOU over and over is hard.
To this end I created a new script script/productHTML.sh to convert simple property text files (loosely based on those used for the LEDs page) into HTML to insert into appropriate pages. More than one per page is allowed.
This schema allows consistent compact HTML5 to be generated. All relevant pages can be updated when the script or source properties are, even exposing the dependencies automatically to make
. Unique IDs can be generated to allow these items to be referred to.
The first item transferred to the new system is in the
Wants and Offers page. It is a (repeating) Event
for Kingston Green Drinks on the last Tuesday of every month, thus non-trivial. It does not have an embedded Review
.
2021-11-07: reutils V1.1.8
Pushed out
V1.1.8 of reutils
that
computes live GB grid intensity
and tweets it. The main change is to put the computed grid intensity (gCO2/kWh) in each tweet, at the start for easy human parsing. The static image was also removed from the tweet since it was causing confusion.
Typical text now:
290gCO2/kWh National Grid CO2 intensity is average so don't run big appliances now if you can wait. http://bit.ly/3usoe #CO2 |1321
Though other work was already underway on reutils
(eg to allow year-based fuel intensities and a clean switch between them), this set of changes was provoked by a
tweet
received before I was even out of bed on Sunday morning!
2021-11-02: Small Things
I have a new replacement for my archaic use of the spell
command! With brew install ispell
my new incantation (though US spellings only) is:
ispell -H -l < source.html | sort -u | fmt
Also today I added a meter for the grid-coupled newly quadrupled Enphase storage under that for the off-grid storage:
100% usable off-grid charge (100%/1320Wh).74% usable grid-coupled charge (74%/3670Wh).- Total electrical storage: 4990Wh.
