If you can hear god laugh it’s because I’m making plans.

I now have an inkling of life with only a phone for a computer.
How anybody lives in this hell I’ll never know.

Buttondown is very good.

Goodbye little buddy 👋

I have been stunned by the outpouring of support from the Micro.blog community, having asked for donations to help my family survive the next month.
I will say more but for now: thank you all so much, you’re amazing. ❤️
Donations remain open; I’ll now stop posting reminders.

Glass launched a month ago.

A last message about my request for donations:
Yesterday I posted a Plea For Help. My wife and I are struggling to make ends meet and in the past 24 hours the response has been amazing. I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude. 🙏

Maybe Apple should introduce a Trusted Payment Program for the likes of Stripe and Paypal as a way to stop- oh… well, never mind!

Reminders for my future self, when I have disposable income:
- This was very difficult.
- Lots of people in your own country, let alone the world, carry these problems all of the time.
- Be as generous as possible.
- Ignore shallow distractions with your money.
- Always support indies.

Tomorrow is the day I’m going to sell the iPad Pro.
Once we settle into the new place, I’ll return to the old and busted all-in-one Windows machine for as long as it’ll work. 😂
On the plus side, it’s better ergonomically and I can return to a full-sized keyboard and mouse.

It’s fair to say they are having… mixed reactions to the move 😂

I hate to ask, since TIL is currently on a break, but now would be an awesome time for you to send some help my way: Today I Learned donations
More info: Today I Learned Support
This move is tough on our wallet and we just need some help to get through the next month. 🙏

I wish the house moving companies were as good at communicating as the pet moving services 😬

A micropub just opened in our new town 👀

It’s always interesting to see people who like to talk about how they’re “sad to leave Micro.blog” even though they can make the choice to stay.
If I can choose to not be sad, I will always choose to not be sad.
-
After we move I’m going to set aside time for work in the community, local activism, etc.
I’ll share this on my blog, inspired by other folks on Micro.blog, and hope to see even more of such posts.
It is very easy to site on the sidelines and opine. Much harder to do the work.

Lots of train travel = time for catching up on sleep + time for working on TIL

The latest iteration of the Sunlit beta is slick. Quick question for @cheesemaker and @manton: are feature requests better via;
- the feedback button in Testflight;
- GitHub;
- Help forum;
- email;
- or on the timeline?

This was lunchtime today. 10/10 would recommend

En route to Claire’s new job. This place really is something else…

I’ve managed to fit in little bits of work for @TIL here and there during the move. I probably won’t get anything else done for a few days but there is one thing I can share, even though it is a WIP:
The donations for TIL, via Buy Me A Coffee now includes membership options.
