# 2026-08-08 - Capsule Overhaul with Claude

Stayed up late doing an AI-assisted overhaul of this capsule with Claude. "We" improved page organization, content style, and even the deployment plumbing. Every page/file on the capsule was updated, and I figured a write-up might be some good content. I haven't had a substantial update in nearly a year, apparently.

## Why

This capsule has grown organically and some of the vestigial bits were starting to bother me; orphaned pages, inconsistent voice/style, hobby posts that were buried in the wrong place. I wanted to standardize and update things, but it felt like it would be a bunch of ditch digging. Then I remember LLMs exist and I felt like Claude could do the grunt work of an overhaul while I gave high level guidance.

## What Changed

- Reorganized everything into category directories that map onto the home page: geminilog, projects, recipes, fiction, and misc.
- Renamed glog to geminilog (except the ASCII art, can't be bothered right now).
- Pulled the hobby write-ups (banjo, the Casio watch hack, the HAM radio post, and the Codex tooling post) out of the day-to-day log and gave them dedicated pages under the projects directory.
- Nested The Stars Bear Witness under a new fiction directory.
- Found and surfaced a couple of orphaned pages.
- Flattened the capsule, moving everything out of a gopher subdirectory and up to the project root.
- Fixed a couple of small bugs along the way: a glog entry with the wrong year in its title, and a duplicate-letter typo in one of the February posts.
- Normalized capitalization across the whole capsule. A lot of my early posts were written in all lowercase, which read fine as a diary voice but was inconsistent with everything else, so those got rewritten into conventional sentence case, and every header on the capsule is now title-cased.
- Overhauled deployment. I'd been triggering an rsync manually via Makefile; that's getting replaced with a git post-receive hook so a push does the deploy.
