The big announcements from the MacStories team are fantastic. I especially enjoy seeing RSS getting so much attention.

Timezone bump for @TIL:

I’ve put Today I Learned on a break. All of my time and energy is being used on moving home.

I have not set a date for bringing TIL back but I will still be around on Micro.blog and spending some of my free time working on future updates for the project.

Testing the upgraded Micro.blog hosting. 👀

TIL On a Break

As of today @TIL is on a break, and will return as soon as possible.

The move is all-consuming at this point and I am confident that recent updates have put the project in good enough condition to survive.

I’ll still be about. 🙂

Thanks for reading!

Not renewing Apple Music. Going back to my local library, with possible sharing if there is a good enough service (I have an iTunes Match sub at the minute).

My primary tactic is to save up for a good file player, probably from Sony, and no longer rely on the internet.

A few months ago I countered Manton Reece’s concern over iPad pricing with the notion that the much more expensive price of an iPad Pro from an M1 MacBook was justified.

I have since changed my mind. The inferior software dents the iPad’s value by a significant amount.

Question for @jean: approximately how much alcohol is required to get through all of this moving nonsense. 😓

Timezone-shifted prompt:

After a busy week on @TIL, the recently named newsletter Post Haste will help you get caught up!

The next issue of ICYMI will be released on Monday. 👀

Well that was a pretty good week for @TIL.

If you missed it or like getting letters, there is a newsletter for that: Post Haste

I’m writing the next issue of the weekly recap, ICYMI, and it will be out on Monday. 👀

Windows > iPad OS

Say hello to the redesigned @TIL. 😎

First batch for months. The dark times are over. 😌

Looking forward to releasing some @TIL updates tomorrow. I nearly pushed the button on a few things early but remembered how much I enjoy adding a bit more polish and publishing with a more intentional approach.

Related: I love how much control you can have on the web.

One of the things I like a lot about the community on Micro.blog is that people can get all hyped up about a new app (Glass, lately), and I just don’t care… but! I still find it possible to have good conversations and read good conversations, and not once do I feel excluded.

Make Blogs Legible Again

Just took a quick look in Discover and saw a bunch of people who either haven’t presented at Micro Camp or I haven’t seen in the chatroom there.

This reflects the way in which Micro.blog has grown in a quiet way, without the founders and enthusiasts yelling at you about it.

For the folks who haven’t been able to attend Micro Camp: don’t worry! Neither have I. Sometimes life works out that way. :)

I need some coffee…

Testing out a new post type for @TIL with this post for Micro Camp.

What do you think; link-blogging on Today I Learned?

Tried to make an OPML file. Yet another thing the iPad can’t do as easily as a computer.

Maybe one of the reasons RSS doesn’t seem to be as popular as we would like is because we’re all hiding the link for the feed.

Now that I’m getting to grips with Micro.blog theming it would be a good time to make a move on that Working Group idea I mentioned a while ago.

Better understanding of Micro.blog templates and Hugo means that @TIL has had its first design-based updates that I was able to batch together. 👀

The Micro.blog template editor update from… uh, last year?… is so much better than the before times. I think it’s even helping me to gain a basic understanding of how Hugo works.
