I’m thinking of migrating off Mastodon instances and using Ghost or Micro.blog as my Fediverse identity. Ghost isn’t ready, so I’ll need to wait to see. I hesitate to admit that I’m hung up on domain choice. I assumed micro.baty.net but too long? Maybe just use “@jack@baty.blog”?
Took a cue from a recent Peter McKinnon video and impulse-ordered this cool blue metal toolbox. I’m using it as a “doodle box” with stationery, pen case, watercolors, brushes, stamps, sealing wax, etc. I didn’t need this at all, but it’s fun!
I keep this around for after the Big EMP hits.
Well, the mulch ain’t gonna spread itself. Catch you all later. Bring ice packs.
I love having options, but I hate making decisions.
I logged into my tilde.club account this morning, typed “mutt” and there were a bunch of threads still being posted to. Oh, and there are BBS, Gemini, IRC, finger, and other services still running out there. All on a little Linux box Paul Ford set up more than 10 years ago. tilde.club. It’s kind of great.
While I tolerate and even encourage motion blur or slightly out-of-focus images when shooting film, I find these imperfections in digital photos to be annoying (as in the photo above).
This gets truer every day.
I’m typing this in MarsEdit for posting to Micro.blog and makes me feel nostalgic.
1934 Smith Corona Standard. It’s been in the garage for a few years, it needs some platen work, and it smells funny. But just LOOK at it!
My uncle Ray. He’s been suffering from dementia, and it’s been difficult. He still laughs a lot. Always has.
I love the new Peanuts screen savers on the Apple TV, especially when Snoopy does his impersonation of me.
I have things to do today that aren’t related to blogging. Weird, I know. And of course, I move the small posts and federation to Micro.blog just before running out the door. Who knows who I’ll be when I get back home later :).
It’s been a minute, eh?
I love Micro.blog, but I’m thinking I don’t really need a microblog right now.
I dare you to read the Denote manual and not feel 100% like it’s software you can use and trust. Prot is just so damn thoughtful about everything.
It’s a relatively minor thing, but uneven frame spacing bothers me. This is a sample from the Canonet, which I am going to retire for real this time. Not only because of the spacing issue, but that’s part of it.
I waffle between Capture One and Lightroom. I’m not an Adobe hater by default, but this is the sort of thing that puts me right off. It showed up as soon as I launched it on my phone. “Goodbye Distractions” my butt.
