MarsEdit for micro.blog posts

Thanks to @spgreenhalgh @technocrat @warner @mariovillalobos @Pilchuck @maique — great gear names! I’d include them here, but I would want your permission first.

Now I need to get busy with my own stuff. I have a RaspberryPi, an old iMac running Linux, an old MacBook Air running Linux, a MacBook Pro M1 and, finally, a superannuated Intel MacBook Pro.

I have some ideas for names: Eusebius, Betty, Carl, Garth, Enzo …

I’m working up an ActivityPub connection between micro.blog and the mastodon world. But I don’t have it quite right.

Until then, my micro.blog posts can be found here.

Trying to get my digital house in order. Two steps forward today and only one step back.

I’ve been spending a bit of time on counter.social (@blimey), but micro.blog is my home!

Q: Do you name your computers? If so, give an example.

After only a few hours of using iPadOS 16.1 (20B82) on my 5th generation iPad, I have yet to notice any changes. I’m a low-demand user, and I think I’ll never encounter most of whatever is new.

Dave Winer’s been busy. He has a thing called feedland.org.

Signup via your twitter credentials. If you do that, and plug this url into them mix, you’ll see my own ‘freedland’ feeds – mostly default, one or two added on: feedland.org

I’m looking at all the apps on my iPad and wondering “What was I thinking??”

You can’t realize how many tweaks you’ve made to your computer until you moved to another one.

A couple of years ago I amazed the family by fixing the refrigerator thermostat, which involved crawling into the freezer compartment.

Today I amazed the family by fixing the HP8600’s wedged paper tray, which involves turning the printer upside down.

Yes, every few years I prove my domestic worth.

Serious question: Is TikTok really an essential iOS app?

Alison Martino said “Have you ever, BTW, typed ‘James Rockford’ into Google Maps – try it, it’s maybe the single coolest thing on Google ever.”

So I tried it, and this made my day: jimrockfordinvestigations.com

I am wondering, for the nth time, why iCloud file sync can happen anywhere from near-instantaneous, through one month, to never.

Last night we watched “The Dead Don’t Die”, a Jim Jarmusch film from 2019 … Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, etc.

I will now take a break from WWIII by eating pizza
and watching “Murder in Provence”.

I cannot express how much is loathe Snapchat “filters”.

I stayed away from Wordle for a while. But then –

I didn’t buy enough “This is Fine” t-shirts.

Autocorrect: the new Grauniad

2022-02-07. Our Wordle is not strong.

I’m always late to the party. In practice, this means the beer is gone.

Some time ago I refretted a friend’s Django-style guitar. Here’s a photo from early on in the process.
