Built

No script, anywhere

The feed is read when the site is

built, never in your browser.

Nothing on any page here is a

script, which is the week's brief

and also why the clock cannot tick.

The grid is computed

The build breaks every line to forty

columns and counts the rows a page

needs, so the page is fitted to your

screen instead of scrolling off the

bottom of it. Teletext never

scrolled either.

When the feed is down

A committed snapshot is served

instead. The site rebuilds on every

push, so a feed that will not answer

would otherwise take it down: a

stale page is a teletext page, a

failed build is nothing at all.

The clock

It says when the feed was read, not

what time it is now. Times are

Canberra's, converted from a British

source.
