Edited and exported some audio for the first time. Uh oh… that was fun 👀

Let’s see how well new posts are getting into the timeline.

I wonder who counts as an active user.

How quick are new posts?

To start a Collection, on the web for Micro.blog:

• Go to Uploads ->
• Go the address bar ->
• Add /collections/new to the end of the URL ->
• Select “Enter/Return” to go to that address ->
• You should see the page for starting a Collection.

Testing Collections shortcode in a post, for @pratik and co:

My word for 2025: FOUNDATION.

England: home to ARM.
Also England: let’s spend consecutive decades doing nothing to double-down on this insanely good entity.

When I was in school, they removed the computers, the computer lab, and behaved as if computers didn’t exist.

“Great” Britain indeed.

I updated Safari and I’m pretty sure Apple decided “Oh hey you somehow switched off some of these things we think you should use.” and all I can think is “Fuck off, Tim.”

Maybe if we could press / and the tagmoji would appear in a menu picker. 🤔

Finished a late night of work by sending out the new issue of bts and making two new blogs. Feels good 💪

Instead of publishing that snarky post I just wrote, I’m going to share this post of a Very Good Sweet Good Good Boy.

Now testing with a singular mention of @maique. Maybe two mentions was dangerous!

Another notification test for @maique, this time as a full post. Hi @maique 👋

No free writing this morning. An intentional choice, which feels as good as having done the exercise.

In the past 15 seconds I have clicked the blue-bar notification in the MB Mac app for “new posts”. Each time the bar just disappears, the timeline reloads, and there is nothing new.

I now feel worse. This repetitive, pointless clicking is exactly the behaviour I have not associated with Micro.blog.

For 2024 so far, there have been 277 entries on Micro.blog News.

That’s quite a productive year.

First free-writing session for two weeks. Feels much better.

Now, onto issue four of the newsletter and the next part of Orchid.

I sent out the third issue of the bts newsletter for TIL a few hours ago. This has quickly become a very good outlet for getting me back on track.

Today has been a relentlessly local day - delivering the local residents’ association mag, and editing the parish mag.

Print is not dead. It’s just local.

💯

As well as stability and better customer service, if I could have chosen a third option in the Micro.blog poll it would be app parity.

I don’t think every part of the platform should be in each app but some features ought to be available anywhere.

Currently I wish the Embed button was on the Mac.

Avocado on brown toast and fussy coffee for brunch. That’s my millenial card punched for the day.

The remaining cursor error (for my current uses) looks so threatening.

Nice text you have there. It would be a shame if something…

… happened to it.
