After an unintentional ten-day break, I’m back on my daily bullshit. I’ve been enjoying the freedom of the dot grid format in a journalling book, like rows of tiles waiting to be connected. ๐

Jumped on the Micro.blog iOS beta train. I was going to wait, for @TIL, however it’s become clear that it makes little sense to prioritise the old version at the moment. Eventually I will make guides and the like for the older versions but I need to focus on the majority use for now.
I have just, for the first time, seen the Orson Welles champagne outtakes. The look he gives the director at the very end is amazing ๐
I’m making this post for myself, since I will Bookmark it in Micro.blog, so that I have quick access to the Discover timeline for the Photoblogging Challenge in the Mac app.
๐ต Listening: Isolรฉ - Les Gordon
This song is one of my current favourites. Had his work in rotation for about three years; it’s such a joy to find a new favourite artist at my age, in contradiction to the stereotype.
The new pen for Hogan’s journal, now secure.
Those full posts donโt have a limit. Itโs the Micro.blog timeline that encourages the 280-character limit to make the timeline as readable as possible, not cluttered with long posts or โread moreโ links.

Seeing the bump to 600 happen in the counter is awesome. This is a very good change to Micro.blog. :)

Currently reading: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik ๐
Eight pages in and wow… I missed her writing. Such a fool for failing to read for several years.
Amit’s test blog per theme idea is great.
Also, the same thing for theme creation and editing. The inclusion of pre-built content would be very helpful for those of us who haven’t figured out a way to mimic themes locally.
Making the Mastodon posts and pages for @TIL is becoming a project unto itself ๐
Started the day with a Spanish omelette and a great cup of coffee. Good to go. โ๏ธ
Would an invite-only Mastodon server be better than Discord ๐ค
Did somebody already set up an unofficial Micro.blog server?
Feels good to have joined our very own Vincent’s membership on Buy Me A Coffee! ๐
You can read about the different ways to support this fantastic independent developer over on his blog.

Turns out Goldeneye for Nintendo Switch Online was enough to persuade me into opting for the expansion pack. ๐ฎ
Now that Mastodon usernames on Micro.blog no longer show the hostname, let’s see…
There’s @viticci@mastodon.social
And then @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net
huh… weird, it’s still showing the whole name on the Mac app.
… itโs important that Micro.blog stays true to its blogging roots and unique take on social media, rather than shifting to be a Twitter or Mastodon clone. We donโt need a monoculture with all apps looking exactly the same.

Mozilla are now forcing a button into the toolbar for Firefox.
One of the main reasons I use this browser is because of the relatively easy customisation. Flexibility is paramount.
… sigh. Another reason, once I’ve figured out the Micro.blog issue that I’ll go back to Safari.
The updated Micro.blog homepage is brilliant. Great job, @jean, @vincent, and @manton!
I’ve increasingly made use of the word “publishing” whenever I talk about actions we take on the web, especially those in full public view.
I believe the word “post” or [Insert Brand Name Here] strips our actions of their meaning and removes the intentionality inherent within.
