Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
My submission for #TidyTuesday 2021 week 34. A look at StarTrek TNG voice interactions with the Enterprise's computer. In this submission I focus on the 'locate' command to find someone on the ship.
Leaving known waters
Over the last weeks and months I have collected three features for the blog itself that I want to implement. Covers: A custom parallax scrolling landing page, Utterances comments and a custom 404 error page. None are built into the {distill} package, so there's some manual work needed. I'll go through the changes here.
