📝 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… 🤔
“America is like a smoke & vape shop with all the bright ass LED lit bongs, some incense, and artisanal kettle fried potato chips for sale. Interesting at first but you wonder how that place is still in business”

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:

Again, 何ぜ両方もう出来ないの？
Dog without context.
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! 🐈

RIParadise John Amos.
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. )
for some reason, I’m into online crossword puzzles now.
Did anyone else watch Halo season 2? It ended weirdly AF… Granted I’ve never played the games beyond the first XBox version and like 3 levels. Am I missing something?
UPDATE: I went and played a few speed-runs of Halo and Halo 2 to get a better understanding of the lore; I get it now. 👍 The hard part about narratives based on video games is the limited understanding and background that average people will have with the franchise.
There should never be major plot shifts without explanation and exposition (really in any film TBF). But with this genre, it’s at the expense of the superfans/stans and their hardline needs to follow cannon succinctly and precisely as they experienced the source material.
But since its a game, that kinda means everyone playing through gets a semi-unique experience in the first place!
It’s that time of year again! Boy-type still likes the sushi for his birthday meal so that’s what we did 🍣 (I enjoy his birthday as much as he does 😆)
A new use for micro.blog:

Is what’s happening in the screenshot from the desktop app on my side or micro.blog’s side? I don’t have any issues when using other micropub sites like Quill or Sparkles…
That’s a post from my main site above now embeded as a quote here. 😊
