See you tomorrow … say 6:30?
A bit of detail …
🔗 Bob’s writing about Music and Musicians, but what he described has applicability to any new business launching itself onto the world.
US finally breaks ground on its first-ever high-speed rail.
… from LA to, no … not SFO .. Vegas baby. It’s gonna be so much quicker and Greener to go see a show at the Sphere.
IMHO .. this particular route would be waaaay down on the ‘which route first’ list, but I can’t think of any route that might be higher on the ‘which route is easiest’ list.
Yet another one to file in the bucket of things that don’t seem quite right.
New Projects -because of course, you can never have enough projects.
As my Category culling is drawing to a close continues with no end in sight, I just discovered a new project.
Not only do I have this space - but over on Blot I have a different - yet related space.
I used to have 🔗 https://words.philpin.com - for ‘words’ and 🔗 https://pictures.philpin.com which eventually became 🔗 https://images.philpin.com for, well … ‘images’.
And then I moved everything into 🔗 https://archive.philpin.com - it’s so easy in Blot - and everything is was great - were it not for rather a large number of links on Micro Blog that point to those three old blogs. (I know its large - because I just searched for those URLs in Mars Edit),
Three choices;
-
Do Nothing (which doesn’t really work for me)
-
Manually change them - one by one (which is something I don’t want to do)
-
Write a script to search for those three parts of URLs and replace with ‘https://archive.philpin.com’, at the same time as adding a category ‘My Archives’
Which is likely to happen shortly after we witness a small pig flying overhead.
🎈114/366 Today I discovered and then learned about Scoped Tags in Drafts - only 10 versions later I think - but now I know and thank you @Agiletortoise
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.

I am killing alerts on my phone to achieve minimum interruptions and then adding some of them to my less used iPad mini, This means that my phone allows for focus and when I pick up the iPad I can quickly scan the notifications ..got it .. flush them.
Sounds like a grand plan, except that I have now found three iPad apps that do not have notification controls that their iPhone counterparts do.
Unless I am doing something wrong. As usual.
🖇️ Remember Micro Monday Follow Day? - I just fixed the click through - because after all this shuffling a few things got broken. There are some crackers in there … 5 Years Ago Today Apparently!
I seem to have an about page that is rather old and I want to kill it anyway - but according to my page list - it doesn’t exist.

I am guessing that Spark New Zealand is having an issue - got an email this morning demanding an outrageous amount of money that apparently I owe them. Not phishing as far as I can so tried to log on to their site - which I did - but no service available, no billing, no way to message them, no list of products - but I was recognized. Tried their app - same deal.
UH OH.
🔗 Received from my friend Graham, article from The New Yorker .. as I commented tomorrow him;
Personally speaking - my life is too short
🎈113/366 I am at a good point now. Time to stop for a while and let it digest .. but still ‘goodenough’ to have a link on the site that takes you down the rabbit hole for any passing observer interested enough to click.
Another discovery from the archives … although only March, so not so bad.
Many of us seek status and belonging without even seeing it; we find it hard not to react to what others are doing, especially those we have been programmed to want to impress. We’re reactive without realizing it. We put limits on ourselves because we buy into other people’s rules. It’s the fundamental limit I’ve observed in most people, including myself and most founders: they define success by succeeding according to the rules that others have defined.
