@bradenslen he is. He just doesn’t know it.
@jsonbecker it does look interesting - and tempted - but I already have ‘albumwhale’ and ‘crucial’ in my roster - both ‘indy indy’ - not just indy - and not sure what all three would give me - and I do get ‘grumpy’.
ah ha - so posting as a ‘reply’ - does get into the stream - regardless of the state of the web site - which thanks to @AndySylvester and @sod is just now starting to come back online - still rebuilding - and NOT with the design I have been carefully building for the past three weeks - but at least we have something.
MUCH appreciated guys. Thank you so much.
@johnphilpin has A Second Experiment
An experiment combined with a real alert.
> Serious issues with John.Philpin.com that some great people are helping me with. Site is down and none of yesterday’s posts arrived in the MB stream. Maybe this one will? (That is the experiment part).
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
@manton Making sure I understand - I was already ‘auto backing up’ to my local drive is this instead of or a ‘belt and braces’ situation?
@manton notes is an eternal bug bear for me - having 🍎Notes, Drafts, Obsidian not to mention even more buried in apps like 1Password, Contacts and even Calendar for goodness sake. So (so far?) I have resisted Micro.Blog’s - but an idea you might want to borrow From Finalist … He just released a TestFlight beta where he can expose one of more of your Markdown Folders inside his app.
Not sure yet that I will stick with Finalist - but this approach makes life very portable because I have many Markdown folders - one of which is specifically available to Finalist, Obsidian, iAWriter and Claude … that last one so every now and then - it runs and cleans up what is going on in terms of consistency and pulls out action points, dates etc - not running smoothly - yet - but definitely feeling it.
@philpin.com I think I replied already? Somewhere?
@mattypenny yup not for everyone - variable output quality doesn’t help - but in the catalogue there are some stonkers - Silver Machine anyone? TBH I did move on - a certain amount of repetition IMHO - but in those early days - definitely one of the bridges from psychedelic folk rock to progressive.
@bradenslen Standing the glass bottle upside down on the smallest of caps while the bulk of the wide bottle balances precariously with a dangerous center of gravity .. and they say that humanity isn’t moving forward … 🦯
@devilgate wipes brow … I thought my cryptic posts had finally caught up on me .. don’t recall the story at all .. but boy people took complaints seriously ‘back then’
> The television watchdog has slapped a permanent ban on a car advertisement being aired before 7.30pm after 139 viewers complained about wiggling bottoms and the word “ass” being used in the ad.
139 viewers❗️
@restlesslens and yet it is the English language that ‘gets the blame’ 🤓. Don’t get me wrong - it is responsible for a lot of wrong things - but not this one.
@devilgate where is that - don’t even see it? I used an audio link.
According to Kara:
Then again - 🔗 judging by some of the comments in the thread (Link goes to Threads sans tracking crud) - I’m not sure they understand either. Kara probably does - but no clarity as to why I don’t understand it correctly.
@restlesslens two different European nations - not just ‘white folk’ - it’s like wondering why Africa isn’t on the list of countries in a drop down.
@patrickrhone blame the french - they are the ones that called arkansas - ar-kan-saw - and this isn’t just because I am English.
