Month: October 2023

Ahhh… Fall has finally come to Southern California. The Santa Ana’s are blowing hot, the air is full of dust & pollen, and my lips are starting to chap. Time to take down the umbrellas, bring anything that’s not tied down inside, shut all the windows, and take an allergy pill.

😖 Whoops. I discovered a stupid little bug. So… Tinylytics for Micro.blog 3.0.1 released.

I only received a couple of replies to my Micro.blog Mastodon users question last week, but I decided to alias my Mastodon account to Micro.blog and import those I was following anyway. I like the choice of having one “place” for my online presence thus far. It’s much quieter.

Thought of the day… There is no such thing as “it should be as simple as…” when it comes to software (or web) development.

I put some work in on my Tinylytics for Micro.blog plugin tonight to bring it to parity with all the nifty features @vincent has added over the last few months.

I have some dog-food testing to complete, but expect a release to drop before the end of the week. Sorry it’s taken so long to get this done!

There’s something that feels wrong in the fact the app on my smartwatch told me it’s sunrise right as I was walking in the door of the office today…

Let’s be honest… Is there really anyone who waits for the oven to preheat before starting to cook? I didn’t think so.

A question for the Micro.bloggers with a Mastodon account… Do you alias your Micro.blog ActivityPub compatible username to Mastodon, or do you alias Mastodon to Micro.blog? What is your reason for the choice you’ve made? I’m torn and have gone back and forth myself. I’d like to get some community input on this. Discuss below!

And my case-less iPhone experiment comes to an end. While l liked the smaller form factor in my hand, I was just too nervous about potentially dropping the phone. Fortunately, I never did drop it, but it was always foremost in my mind while using it. Better safe than sorry, as they always say.

And just like that, a new car is sitting in the driveway. It’s funny how plans you think are the smartest turn out to be not so smart. We were going to buy out the lease on our truck, but it was financially smarter to lease a new hybrid vehicle instead…

I’ve been a case on the iPhone kind of guy forever, but I removed the case from my 14 Pro last night and actually like how it feels in my hands. I think I’ll give it a go for a bit…

I decided to switch over to a theme I’ve been tinkering with for a while now. It’s not quite complete, but having it “in production” will be the motivation to fix the little oddities that linger. When it’s ready for prime-time, I might make the repo available. We’ll see…
