Gonna tell my kids this is Tokyo Tower. #randomTokyo
My Monday ain’t hitting right at all.
Well #HurricaneHelene blew through my part of Georgia leaving us intact but lots of flooding and power outages all over the place. Very glad we were spared the brunt of her fury and bless up those who caught the wrath of a cyclone scorned.
Welp, y’all wish me luck! ⛈️ 🌀
Third weekend in September means JapanFest times.
Had a blast connecting with the Japanese diaspora of residents and businesses here around Atlanta with my family and reconnecting with folks from the diaspora in the community.
This was actually the view out the back of my Tokyo apartment 6 years ago. #randomTokyo #Japan
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.
ActivityPub is the beating heart of the ⁂fediverse
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)
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. 🐕🐾🐶
Can’t remember where exactly this was but I think Chofu… or maybe Shimo Kitazawa. #randomtokyoeveryday
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’ve got 3000+ random shots of Tokyo and Kanagawa in my phone from when I lived there.
So here comes the “random Tokyo every now and then” thing I’m starting.
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
Canvassing one door at a time. 🗳️
starting to think about getting the new iPhone 16 pro just to get back into pro videography… Remember, I used to be a news photog but never got the chance to really use a smartphone into the mix…
OK, all the posts got imported. Let’s check the differences here with the same post in both places:
- Current blog: starrwulfe.xyz/2024/04/l…
- The test blog: starrwulfe-test.micro.blog/2024/04/0…
So how did it go?
- 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.
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!
