Big news and bigger - JazMat
The big news: water returned yesterday, but pressure is still weak. I did get a shower. ¶ Friday? “Another person decides that all days are the same” Romans...

Prices on the rise - JazMat
I emailed a file of a 100+ page book to a printer for an estimate of cost. Such things cost more here than in other places. And prices have risen much more...

I spent some time #blogging today.
Oh man, why does writing take so much time?! Honestly, this time I tried dictating (Speech-to-text) and curating afterwards ... but it feels like it takes the same amount of time 🤔 Maybe it's just a lack of practice - or a lack of articulation.
Anyways - a bit of story, a peertube video and a couple of photos are waiting to be watched! 😉
…

A little list for you to consider

Mid year, trying to knock out a few blog posts. Finished the one on the Gemini protocol, since I wanted to do that one before I finish the small web one. Next up is a brief one on physical media, then the one on the small web after that. And maybe get a few more in after all those before the end of the year.

Today I got two (2) comments on my blog and they were both positive. I don't think that has ever happened. I usually just get complaints and never more than one per month. #blog #blogging

The problem is stretching out more

Still no water, day 3 - JazMat
Still no water today. Maybe tomorrow, says the water dept./company. Things broke. Sabotage? Some political blokes would do it to cause problems for the party...

No 7Points this time, just one sustained idea/observation and a question for you.

No vault of record - JazMat
In Obsidian, I’ve quit creating separate files for my blogging and for many site articles. I write in the top of my draft/dump file, copy and paste, and when...

Nearly five inches of rain, a bookstore relocation, a cautionary tale about losing years of Facebook memories without warning, and a Texas cold case solved nearly 40 years later.
This week, I reflect on digital permanence, wrongful convictions, and a rare case where justice eventually found its way to the right person.

Texas Justice and Facebook Injustice – Bob Mueller
A bookstore move, a warning about Facebook data loss, and a Texas cold case solved decades later bring justice at last.

For years, whenever I'd share links to my Wordpress posts on social media the preview image would be seemingly pulled at random, usually ignoring the first image. Finally fixed it yesterday by installing a plugin called "Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags", then checking the box that says,"First image from the post/page content" in the settings. I'm sure there are better ways to fix but it worked for me. Sharing in case anyone still blogs and has the same problem. #wordpress #blog #blogging https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

No bath for me today

#blogging

What should a person do when they are typing up a Mastodon thread, and it's already almost 400 words before you've started to wrap it up? I estimate this will be over 5 posts.
I need a blog. I doubt I will get any readers or subscribers, but at least I can use it as a journal. Hopefully my Fediverse followers would open a link with a good enough teaser.
Followers, what are you doing when you want to post something long?

Wordpress gave me an award for endlessly fussing over a post. #blog #blogging #wordpress

Sometimes a post or two here will inspire a quick, impromptu blog post, and today was one of those times.

I don’t do guilt or shame
They’ll say all day long ‘sitting shortens your life’ (and?) but I call bullshit on that. Gorillas sit in the jungle all day eating leaves. They don’t care about any of that…
