🍖 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.

  • 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 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 know we’re a purple swing state, but just by the vibe on the streets of the A, we’re gonna be more blue than a cripped out smurf. I’m talking azure, indigo, teal, cobalt, royal, and baby blue all at once.

Why does it seem like Atlanta’s transit agencies continually aim lower and lower when it comes to planning?

I was this many years old when I was told it was going to be an extension of the Red Line rail service from North Springs Station, about 5 miles away. Now all we get is a noisy, smoggy bus island in between 8 lanes of speeding traffic.

Nah, this ain’t it chief.
