- The test blog: starrwulfe-test.micro.blog/2024/04/0…
- Well thanks to the fixes done by @manton most media got rehosted, but some didn’t Wordpress’s carousel media isn’t supported so I have to add it back myself.
- Comments don’t carry over. Which wouldn’t be a problem if the URLs were the same because I federated most comments with [POSSE}(http://indieweb.org/posse) methods. I have to do it all manually now I think… If I can do it.
- Categories are intact, but I forgot microblog doesn’t do tags, converting them into catgories too… I have 34 categories now. 😅 I’ll need to do something about that.
- URL structure didn’t carry over… there might be dragons on this one.
- It was pretty quick– but there’s no status or options page to monitor progress, so I have to eyeball it by just refreshing the new blog in another tab.
- As much as I love working with Wordpress for blogging, I have come to realize that I’m more of a microblogger with maxiblogging tendencies.
- Wordpress coupled with the ActivityPub and IndieWeb plugins are NOICE. And all that works just fine natively over here too.
- Not sure how importing all my junk and republishing here will work… The short linking will break I’m sure unless I can bug @manton to be bothered looking at the shortlink fields in my tables and making a secondary permalink.
- Sidenote: It’d be a good idea to get a handle on the permalink structure and having secondary links in micro.blog anyway IMO.
- I need to see if there’s a way to make a test blog and do the import first, fix what’s broken, then switch over to the finished version by having a temp URL… Like preview and production at my job.
- Oh, and Bridgy compatiblity things. Some of the crossposting is done on the backend by default I think, but how can I tweak some thangs… 🤔
Working on the #indieweb #fediverse #bluesky workflow with micro.blog.
⏰ It’s gonna take me so much time to straighten out my micro.blog stuff. But I’m here for it I guess.
Watching the ballots being counted in my part of the ATL burbs.
📍 Gwinnett County Voter Registrations & Elections
Hell is freezing over if this is true.
Tonight’s [Des Moines Register](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/11/02/iowa-poll-kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-2024-presidential-race/75354033007/) last poll shows Harris **AHEAD +2** over Trump. Is there a 🌊?
I can say that I’ve had the opportunity to witness both a former president and a possible future president that share a similar background as myself, in the same place and time as myself.
🗳️ 🇺🇸
The good thing about Georgia’s record breaking early voting is that my canvassing list is shorter now. Some of y’all still haven’t done it though, so please vote so I don’t have to knock on your door! ✊🏾🚪😉🗳️
Oh yeah, forgot to say we have a cat now too. Meet Marcy! 🐈
It was an easy assignment, a real no-brainer. All you gotta do is just pick the sane, coherent one and stay clear of the strange creeper dancing in the corner by himself.
Well that was a wonderful, eye opening and refreshingly entertaining trip back to my birthplace.
Finally seems like people have found the diamonds in the rough and got their polishing grease ready to go.
RIParadise John Amos.
my oldest brother is a newly minted resident of Georgia and registered to vote a few weeks ago. The political parties are fighting for his attention in his mailbox. This is life in a swing state right now.
Today feels like one of those days where I’m going to wish I could be paid in extra sleep instead of just money.
Did the Sunday afternoon canvass here in Gwinnett Co. GA. I’m seeing a whole lot more of these than I thought I would for this area. Also great conversations with my neighbors. I’m glad I can do my part in educating and motivating my fellow Gwinnecians 🗳️
Glad he got his sense of smell back. The schnozz is working overtime on walks now. 🐕🐾🐶
OK, all the posts got imported. Let’s check the differences here with the same post in both places:
So how did it go?
Next Steps
1️⃣ Since the URL structure didn’t carry over there’s going to be a lot of link rot. (I don’t know if that’s such a big deal though– it’s a personal blog so its not a big deal maybe but not having a way to fix that or just cut and paste front matter is something I’d like to see get added in at some point. –@help, is there something I’m missing? 2️⃣ I’ll need to manually move the media that didn’t make it over. Not a difficult problem though. 3️⃣ Figuring out commenting/federating/crossposting is going to be a second; the Wordpress blog is fully functional with links to everything microblog can do but it’s just done differently so there’s going to be some changes I think. Keeping links to the original post via URL structure would make this easier since most of the discussions were federated elsewhere. 4️⃣ Explore the micro.blog universe of apps, hacks and other goodness while refactoring so I can migrate fully by next weekend.
📺stay tuned!
🍖 Happy Labor Day!
Ｎｏｗ： Getting the last of my yearly compliance trainings done at work– consisting of a dry AI synthesized voiceover and some 2000’s era Flash looking animations dictating policies that could be read 3 times faster than is being drip fed to me right now… 🙄
OK, Back to testing some things out here in micro.blog land. I want to take the next week or so and see if I can put the main feed over here.
I can always jump around if things don’t work out the way I want them anyway, right?
(…plus I need to redo the VPS my blog is sitting on and nixify it. )
I keep hearing how using the recent generative AI/GPT tools can seem borderline sketchy, but I’d like to hear what are tasks/methods/chores that tools like ChatGPT has helped you with to the point you can never consider going back to the old ways if you can avoid it?
I’ll go first: quick recipes and shopping lists.
