With today's 182 lb (-4.5%) weigh-in, The 25th Expedition is now here and with it, the insertion of a change of pace! More of that in the coming days....

Last Sunday's The 500th Night Diet 5K foreshadowed today. That race ushered in a new era. Which, is an old era. Which is new.

With it, I brought back my earlier theme to promote clarity and improve my focus. In doing so, I....

• Implemented a line-by-line stylesheet migration;
• Revamped the Weigh-in table;
• Slightly changed the style of the Resolutions table and updated the Python objective;
• Moved Races to Status;
• Moved my Logs and Poetry to Me;
• Updated Weigh-in line chart for today;
• Reset the countdown clock for the next weighin.

Last night, I played around with bash scripts and Desktop launchers to make my life easier. Employing sshpass, I have a script that logs into my web host making it a single double-click and I'm in. I would have daisy chained that with another script I created last night to make a seamless experience, but I guess that's not possible—at least not with my current skill set! That second script:

• Pulls two .htaccess files and Let's Encrypt directory since every time I rebuild my Jekyll site, the process removes them;
• Builds the site with my new update(s);
• Moves the .htaccess files and directory back in place.

Sure, I could type all of that into a terminal by hand for that's exactly what I've been doing up to now, but I'd rather just type ./build.sh—I know, not the most creative name, but I was spent cognitively!

Finally, I threw together a script that kicks off my local Jekyll site from the Desktop because...well, I want to be lazy.

I spoke with the Spotify Bot last night and have deleted my account. In the past, I traveled from Expedition to Expedition through music and while I even had a playlist set aside in commemoration of The 24th, I'm doing something different. And honestly, when I tore down all of the old playlists from recovery, it set the tone for the future.

Spotify is a service that has been up for the debate, but ultimately it has failed to meet expectations. Customization is friggin' easy to do across the virtual cityscape! Even Burger King had have it your way Whoppers back in '74. As I get older, it just seems more and more like a die cut world.
