Today I am grateful for @manton, @macgenie, @cheesemaker and all of the work they do to make Micro.blog. I am also grateful for the Micro.blog community, and everything you all do to make this a space I feel motivated to visit.

Yesterday’s xkcd is a good one.
Much happier with my site now.
Just need two fixes;
I’m confident those issues will be fixed and so, for now, I am all done.
WorkFlowy is my brainstorming space.
