@chaitanya I cannot disagree with what you write .. I think my frustration is knowing the resource constraints that Manton works with … I would rather more focus on developing the core of micro blog and its unique position in this world rather than giving the world (say) another RSS reader et al.

@manton @mitchwagner now that we can agree on❗️

@MitchWagner we are in total agreement the ‘usp’ for Manton .. in my mind … is aggregate, curate, syndicate .. I am not aware of anyone who does that as well .. if at all.

The plethora of side apps seems to me to create the Swiss Army knife .. one of my johisms …

**** Connect .. don’t Collect.

@MitchWagner Whilst I don’t disagree with you … no software can be and everything. To me the core of MB is the one place … the database of record … your home for your stuff .. your place to ‘aggregate - curate and syndicate’ your web world .. I don’t see an alternative that comes close.

It’s not perfect … and if it was my business I would definitely be managing and developing for MB in a very different way - but if I wanted an easy place to ‘aggregate - curate and syndicate’ - I’m not sure where else I would go?

@alexwolfe Your mom? 😎

Good choice. ❤️💯

Wondering what this looks like - versus should look like - on the site that is most definitely a WIP.

@mandaris i certainly cried. i don’t recall calling dad.

@lmika … and then call it ‘content’ ..

@manton does that include not syndicating to it ?

@bradenslen not to mention Ukraine.

@bradleyandroos @devilgate it all sounds … wait for it …

a bit ominous

… and with that - life is too short. I do believe that we are saying goodbye to Hitchens. Farewell old friend - you served me well - now where should I go?

Any suggestions?

Yup - I understood … step 1

but in there reveals why I have been resisting switching themes - that white bubble - tip of the iceberg when it comes to theme switching

Going to got for the english / american thing

.uk web site:

@bradleyandroos not sure if i have been spelling it wrong all my life - or if this is one of those english /american things - but I would spell it bitumous’.

Related? different word? different meaning? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Theme Forked. 🪖 held on to in 💨

🎵 The ongoing consolidation of the ‘PHI⑊PINverse’ continues.

I just switched on one AlbumWhale RSS music feed for john.philpin.com. All seems to work fine - except - they don’t seem to be actually finding their way to john.philpin.com - if that makes sense?

We’re also going to have to think a bit about delivering richer information and a better presentation.

Any thoughts @bjhess ?

@bradenslen Th Lphbt

Done .. but

@MitchWagner Does this mean I should follow you there .. or will your there stuff find its way here?

Dictionaries are notoriously accurate - and with ambiguity provide alternatives.

Encyclopedias were once thought of as accurate. Turns out not always. Just like AI❗️
