- 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… 🤔
🍖 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.
Made it to Micro.Camp 2024! Here to learn all about how other people are using this service and blogging in general as opposed to spending all the time on “Big Social”. (my first one with as a supporting paid micro.blog member too!) #indieweb #blogging #smolweb (What the heck is micro.camp and micro.blog anyway?)
for some reason, I’m into online crossword puzzles now.
some of y’all think the stuff you see on the news won’t ever affect y’all.
but that’s bullshit.
I remember 4 of my cousins getting hooked on crack cocaine in the ghetto of St Louis, my hometown in the 80’s.
I remember seeing a very affluent dude who ran a chain of waterbed stores freebase a rock in survellance TV from the police about 10 years later.
I remember going to my very innercity high school in the same town getting checked for guns every morning like we’re going through airport security.
I remember Columbine, Sandy Hook, and all these other places that have actually had guns shoot up their schools. Did they have clear backpacks or spot bag checks?
y’all think what you see on TV won’t affect you.
I went to sleep hearing guns buck buck bucking and the tink tink tinking of rounds on my street. It wasn’t some faraway war in a land i can’t pronounce. It was on streets named Sacramento, Red Bud and Kossuth.
But now im watching TV and seeing the same in towns with less people than my whole block. By people who have more money than all the people in my old zip code.
y’all think it’ll only stay on TV, and won’t come knocking on your door though.
I saw genocidal wars, whole towns burnt down, and angry hungry tired desprate people on TV last night…
I’m over this constant Wordpress memory issue. I spent all day yesterday getting rid of plugins, optimizing the theme and making things as lean as possible… and still got an “out of memory” error while I slept.
At this point, I may as well look into migrating this over to micro.blog and paying the premium fees because its cheaper than stepping up to the next higher tier of resources needed on my VPS to mitigate.
I’ll admit, I’m guilty of watching Super Bowls for the commercials in addition to the actual game. My excuse: I used to have a job making TV ads.

…will never not be the song I kick ass in when I want to shut everyone up in a karaoke setting. カラオケなら俺の一番最高セレクション。最近を聞くと新宿にあるのいつも来店に行ったバーの暖かいメモリーを出す。それと帰り道の電車の多摩川を渡す大橋とガタンガッタン音も聞いてくる。
