Where are the photo challenges being issued and posted? …or is this a self-issued motivator?

Would love to see what the October one is.

I tend to use mostly text, hyperlinks with emphasis (italics) and bolding where needed. Occasionally I need a table for a list, and an embed to a video. Sometimes.

Markdown is helpful for that once you know it because its universal everywhere.

Matrix 2.0 and Mastodon 4.2.1 goodies have me wondering about an impending #ActivityPub Chat capability….

I need to get my 💩 sorted and get my #indieweb blog back on track. The venerable GoBlog repo is probably eleventy-billion commits ahead of my instance right now.

Do I patch the place up or burn it down and start all over again….

🤔 what to do, what to do….

  • I really should reach out to @kandr3s@kandr3s.co once again since he’s made a ton of improvements to his site.
  • Also goes without saying to reach out to @en@jlelse.blog the creator of the engine powering this thing to see what he’s been cooking up lately…
  • *Sit down and learn Golang in earnest. I know, I knooooow… 😩

So we were kayaking near Oniona’s hometown when, for no reason at all, from the forest someone screams at me the N word. I was so confused I couldn’t react. Coincidentally, elections are coming up next month so I’ve started seeing anti-immigrants propaganda. I wonder if there’s any relation…

Wait, they use the N word … down there!?

My African-American mind has been expanded. There’s no escaping ignorance I guess. sigh

Welcome to the party! I used the version of this plugin with the WordPress version of my blog before changing to this Golang iteration; I might be tempted to cross back if I can learn how to optimize speeds!

Finally back at the Atlantic Ocean after 17 years

This blog was once served with Wordpress and was a Mastodon/ActivityPub client (it still is!) thanks to Matthias Plefferlie’s AP plugin. I had a very tiny helping hand in filing a few Github issues for it, and talking to him about how it works so I could debug some stuff on my particular installation.

With all the popularity of ActivityPub raging, it seems Automattic, the codebearers for Wordpress have given the ultimate blessing to Matthias, in the form of “acquire-hire” magic": WordPress.com owner Automattic acquires an ActivityPub plugin so blogs can join the Fediverse

Congratulations Matthias! Even though this blog uses a different engine now, I owe a lot to that plugin for getting me started in thinking that my blog can also be a social media hub. And who knows. I still might wander back to Wordpress at some point I’m sure. There’s just too much that you can do in WP these days. 💫

How the heck am I supposed to walk around here when the sidewalk just gives up?! 🤷🏾‍♂️

One of the things I dislike about my house is this pebble-like tile in the shower. It’s hard to keep clean, but my kids do their best on it.

Well yeah, sure… But you’re looking in the wrong spot. Basement level ramen joints and 3F level yakitori joints are the shizzz. (if they still exist… Been almost 2 years since I’ve been there.)

The corner of 17th and State Streets in Atlanta is a place of solitude if you’re around here on a winter weekend day.
