🔗 Rebuilding My Micro Blog - a little over 4 Years ago apparently.
Maybe it is time to do it again❓
Then again - pretty much in the mode of finally fixing 🖇️ PHI⑊PIN - and one thing at a time … except …
NO
ONE. THING. AT. TIME.
Funny, 🔗 I have a guestbook (thankyou Pika) which I forget about .. so much so that when I recently rejigged my site navigation, it was no where to be found.
🔗 Tread carefully, because you tread on my fucks.
On any given day, I have roughly 5 or so fucks to give.
When you breakit down - that’s a lot.
🔗 Mapped: Each State’s Share of Total U.S. Exports
I guess ‘software’ and ‘services’ are not included in ‘exports’?
🔗 Revamping Post Stats - Amit Gawande
@amit - thank you for reminding me and thank you for doing it.
Although the insights are a little scary ….
I have always struggled to describe myself. Not sure how others see me versus how I see myself. This is not the first time I have had to confront this question. As a child and as a young man, I dealt with this same challenge.
I have the same problem. Hell I can write pages and get nowhere close to the right summary - and Jax just nails it when she introduces me. Then again - I am better and introducing her than she is introducing herself.
🔗 We know that Macs last longer in use. How much longer? – Asymco
But the really shocking revelation from the report is that more than half of Windows PCs used in big business get replaced within a year.
For most of my life of living in the Mac world - I have never worked out why Total Cost of Ownership is rarely used as a metric to make decisions around ‘which computer should I buy’.
🔗 Scripting News: Friday, April 3, 2026
Feature request for WordPress. If an item doesn’t have a title, you can do better than (no title) in the Posts list. Grab the first N chars of the body, or add a tool tip with the same text. I write a lot of “singular” posts, ie posts without titles.
Don’t we all❓It has been like this - forever - and oft’ flagged by others - and yet it remains never fixed. No idea why🤷🏻♂️. I (ok. Claude) fixed my importer that had this problem in less than a minute.
🔗 Explore Art UK’s Digital Database of More Than 6,600 Street Art Murals — Colossal
Just a little more than two years after launching the initiative, Art UK has added more than 6,600 new works to its database, bringing the total number of public artworks to well over 21,000.
Wonderful stuff. Just wonderful.
🔗 The other day I … | Alan Jacobs
Several people — surprisingly many — have asked me to expand on that.
“I dunno” - wrote Alan
With him - you only have to read a couple of posts either side of the original to get what he is talking about
🔗 Before I go: People like it when other people make things - daverupert.com
I’ve been watching the same guy make a musical marble machine for ten years.
Never heard of it until now.

Having had a Flipboard account for like so many years I was intrigued by the surf thing - all seems a little too confusing if you don’t want to start again - and just use your existing account. Let’s see how it all shakes out.

Well - at least until the final episode.
Just finished the second series - and the fact it took us so many months to work through it speaks volumes. And when I say work … I mean work.
Spending more time looking at Feedland as I seek to work towards a better way of managing my canonical OPML for all feeds …
I know that I am definitely not the only reader of people like Gruber and Ben … but according to Feedland .. nobody else is subscribed to them.I wonder what gives❓
in netnewswire - @brentsimmons allows us to add different feeds to one or more folders - and when you export and import - those folders travel in the import.
in feedland - @dave does essentially the same thing using tags
not sure which way @manton has gone
BUT it does seem that neither method seems to recognise the other
i wonder if that will change?
for what it is worth reeder uses folders
strikes me that if it doesn’t change the single canonical URL for an OPML is still not going to work - even if we do get the readers to read an URL - rather than importing and exporting all the time.
And there we are … fixed. Turns out the real issue was the ‘content extraction fallback’. Who knew❓Not me - that’s for darn sure.
