The aim of this blog

Hello explorer of the Internet, I hope you are having a great day!

I have been dreaming for a long time to start something similar to a blog page. This post that you are reading right now is the culmination of all my efforts to understand what platform and / or website would be best to use for my goal of creating a blog page. In other words, I think that Blogger may just provide what I was looking for.

The aim of this blog is to write about whatever fascinates me. So, I will sporadically add a post here and there explaining the conclusions I landed at after studying a random topic. Or maybe I will just write a post about something very trivial which caught my attention. We will see where I will end up.

I might write very few posts. I might write a lot. I am still not sure at this stage. The one thing I know for certain is that I own each post that I create here (see this user ask about content ownership here and see Google Privacy Policy here).

P.S. I meant to use the domain "whateverfascinatesme.blogspot.com", but for whatever reason Google thought it was taken somehow? So we are stuck with the "Whatever fascinates" title.

Note to self [AA-AA -> AA-AD], [AA-AA+AA -> AA-AA+AB]

These "Notes to self" are intended to be some loose suggestions I give to myself for writing Posts in this Blogger website. I doubt you will find them useful, but you may read them regardless. Note to self AA-AA: Numbering convention Whenever I feel like something should be numbered, I should use a specific set name (e.g. "Note to self") together with two sets of a pair of alphabetical characters to number it. Alphabetical order should apply, i.e. AA-AA is followed by AA-AB, AA-AC, etc, AA-AZ, AA-BA, etc, AA-ZZ, AB-AA etc, etc. If my computations are correct, this should give me 26 to the power of 4 possible elements for one set, or more than 450 thousand elements for a set. If I ever reach such a number, I MUST go to a doctor to check my mental health. But whatever, better safe than sorry. Note to self AA-AA+AA: Appendix convention If for whatever reason I feel like I should add / specify / modify / deny / nullify something regarding a particular numbered entry, in...

"Fixing" the Trebuchet font in Blogger

And I immediately stumbled upon a little annoyance in Blogger, gosh freaking darn it. Look, I can set the theme to "Essential Light" just fine. I can change each type of font appearing in the theme itself to Trebuchet, no big deal. As long as I do not select Trebuchet, I can also choose any font face (default or downloaded) in the Blogger Post Editor without issue. But if I dare to select "Trebuchet" as the font in the Post Editor... Oh boy, we have issues! The font displayed is like a super skinny Times New Roman, or something serif which looks HORRIBLE and it is almost unreadable. And publishing the post fixes NOTHING. Luckily, I already found two workarounds. 1) If I switch to "HTML view" in the Post Editor, and if I replace each occurrence of <span style="font-family: trebuchet;"> with <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> the freaking Post Editor shows the font correctly (and publishing should work fine too). But ...
