(Final timezone bump)

Yesterday I posted my Plea For Help.

My wife and I are currently struggling to make ends meet and we are eternally grateful for any and all help during this difficult time. 🙏

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.

✅ Sign and submit tenancy agreement

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

Until I can afford to renew my custom domain, my blog is still available at the Micro.blog domain: simonmumbles.micro.blog

Also, until I’ve updated the blog with better links I’m available via email: simon@today-i-learned.net

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

A log on the edge of a pond, surrounded by trees.

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

A wooded area, with a stream and natural footpaths.

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.

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.
