📝 notes
- 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… 🤔
I swear what Dylan has written here is on the minds of pretty much every expat in Japan.

…and this is why I can’t live in St Louis anymore. I love my hometown but nawl, I’ll stay in the A until we can figure out some other spot.
Automation and distance working… the laboratory is Japan, believe me when I say I have seen the future.

やっとこの俺が俺のフレームワークノットに日本語入力はできる。ウィンドウズじゃなくてArch Linux OSは使用、ハイパーランドと言うデスクトップを使うから強いけど時々めんどくさいコンビねww。簡単に設定はなく、スクリプトチングは必要。お疲れ様！
Best thing about newish web browsers and smartphones: The ability to turn long articles and blog posts into a voiceover/podcast/audiobook on the spot.
Definitely helping me digest @cwebber@social.coop’s article How decentralized is Bluesky really? which you should definitely read/listen to.
Since everyone has a hot take on Bluesky vs Threads vs Mastodon vs Xitter and everyone else, it’s time for me to reheat my long ass post I made about this 10 months ago:

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 🌊?
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! 🐈

Really glad to see Shōgun win some Emmy hardware last night. I need to go back and rewatch it now. (And also complete it as I think I only got through 4 episodes)
Ok, I think @snarfed and @manton might have fixed the issue with not being able to follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy here…
So this is a test to try and cross the bridge. 🤞🏾
I figured this was coming eventually. The Shinkansen has no grade crossings and is essentially a long distance high speed metro line when it comes to how it’s operated. Signaling already uses ATC with auto-parking at major stops to help line up doors with platform gates. And with the exception of the Yamagata Shinkansen, it shares no tracks with any conventional zairaisen train services. #TokyoTrainNerd #TrainsOfJapan
Turns out it these Mr Beast Feastables ain’t half bad!
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. )
