Love cracking open a new notebook & setting it up for the upcoming year, learning from things that didn’t work & iterating on the practice! πβ‘
As a side-note, I really need to improve the markdown parsing and facet creation for the Bluesky syndication…
APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day - https://apod.nasa.gov/) has quickly become my favourite RSS feed and is a lovely surprise every morning for me! πͺπ
Picked up The Word for World is Forest as a “quick & light” read… Boy was I wrong! ππ
I really appreciated my decision to use sqlite
to store my posts, as it allowed me to implement a very straight-forward migration mechanism, when I was adding the BlueSky federation/syndication.
I especially enjoyed the built-in
PRAGMA user_version;
to keep track of which migrations have already been run on a given .db
file.
Yesterday, I finished If Then by Jill Lepore. What a book! Meticulously researched and written in a shockingly readable style. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn how far back attempts at using computers to influence people’s opinion go! ππ
As of right now, my posts on my personal micro-blog are automatically syndicated to BlueSky! π POSSE ftw!
So I’ve received my invite code for Bluesky… Strongly considering federating my posts made here automatically over there (or at least have the option to do so)…
I canβt believe it took me this long to create an about page for current
, but itβs finally up!
Daniel Kehlmann’s Don’t Wake Me Up Too Soon was a pleasant surprise find on Hacker News! It ponders the responsibility of fiction writers (and creators in general) to dead real-life figures & what is and isn’t/should and shouldn’t be allowed. Interesting thing to mull over the morning cup of tea…
