Getting some chores done and preparing for Micro Camp. Working out my window set-up, between Zoom, YouTube, and a spare browser.

Edit: I now know that we’re going back to the Help forum chat for during the sessions. I’ve used the web app Mac feature for the chat:

It’s good to see txt.fyi up and running.

Another Micro Camp, another chance to win an awesome prize:

All the prizes are amazing, so you really can’t go wrong.

Fully agreed with Jean on this. Good luck!

Such good news to see Kimberly Hirsh joining the Micro.blog team! 🎉

Also fantastic news from the same post:

Vincent has also been at work behind the scenes to improve the admin features in our platform, with the hope that some of it can be available to more community members.

Yet more great work from Vincent, and also a good sign of the team taking the well-proven careful and considered approach when making significant changes to the platform.

The start I needed. 💪

As somebody who now lives in a wonderfully human-friendly place with regard to weather, and that includes phenomenal access to sunlight the nano-texture update was the most interesting part of the iPad announcement.

I have been using both Epilogue and the Waterstones wish-lists for taking note of books I’d like to read. Time to get rid of the latter and make Epilogue my only digital tool for capturing this information.

I was chuckling by the end — they got me good!

“Everyone must have an opinion!” has recently been the calling card of certain parts of the social web; specifically the Very Online part.

I remain deeply unsure of this. Instead, if often seems to be a bad thing and even destructive to the supposed causes of the people who make said proclamation.

It has taken longer than I would like, yet I have remembered a lesson I was taught in my youth: The opinions of affluent individuals in any society are rarely a fair reflection of that society.

(I have a related question in my first reply to this very post you are reading, on Micro.blog.)

I’ve noticed that a certain number of people use Google Search as a way to put accents over letters.

Here’s a tip for Mac folks: hold down whatever letter needs the accent.

Initially I struggled with this game. Feels good to be exercising this particular part of my brain.

Dune: Part Two was amazing. Villeneuve and Zimmer are a phenomenal pair. 🎥

I’m in the “wordy” stage of my gradual return to the social web. Need to keep on top of my newly formed good habits, which all make it much easier to take this energy and put it into work.

Brad Enslen has made a new linkblog. An easy choice to follow.

Sixth row is always much more satisfying than fourth or fifth.

I blew it all up and started again!

Feels like a good way to start the weekend, after a week of rest and relaxation with visiting friends and family.

I have set my plan:

1. Wait to see what Apple do in September.
2. Assuming there are no more small phones — I would be shocked if there were — immediately get a 13 Mini.
3. Set the default to be stripped down, with easy access to very few features.
4. Set a work mode with greater access.
5. See how that goes.
