@manton - any plans to allow the movies / show posts to feature a little image - like we have with books?
@MylesInTheNorth yeah - I am talking late 80s (ish) - at least for my ‘last one’. Have you ever come across Black Sheep? They have a stout - never tried because when I find myself facing a BlackSheep pull - I drift towards Old Peculier. But it does get good reports.
@MylesInTheNorth a fine one if memory recalls - but memory being what it is - I checked the Wiki, discovering that I had my last taste when Caffreys still had a Caffrey in the company - though after Bass bought them. Sad to see them part of Coors.
Ted Gioia: “I was planning to celebrate Miles at 100 today, but now I’m also grieving the death of the last superstar of that same generation. Put those two milestones together, and it’s an uncanny moment.”
@jsonbecker It did. So would I.
@MitchWagner 🤯💯😎 Thanks for the share Mitch .. history rhyming .. even down to the generals medals.
@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.
