Notes

Super stressed today… I likely have to report for jury duty this afternoon, but also have a dental appointment to cement a crown. One of them will have to get pushed… I’ve already deferred jury duty as much as I can and getting an appt. with my dentist is tough. 😣

I’ve gone scorched earth on my phone and deleted every social media app, save two - Micro.blog and Mona. Their notifications are turned off and have been removed from my home screen. They might even get cut if I find myself opening them too much. I need some mobile peace and quiet for a while…

I’ve mentioned this in the past a long time ago, but if you have a domain you’d like to forward to another and don’t have the luxury of accessing server configs or tweaking .htaccess, ForwardDomain.net is a great alternative. You’re welcome.

I just released a minor mnml update to make the theme fully compatible with the new Micro.blog Summary feature released yesterday, plus a little tweak to some photo grid css that was bugging me when viewed on mobile.

Happy to say that mnml already supports the new Summary feature @manton introduced today! No need to fashion your own summaries in the first paragraph and add a “more” tag anymore. I’ll be real happy once MarsEdit supports it too. (Ahem, @danielpunkass. 😬)

It’s raining cats and dogs right now. Grateful for the rain, but more grateful that it started raining hard after we were all home for the evening. Rain through the night, but done by morning commute time. Yay!

The more I learn about Hugo, the more I like it. I totally understand why @manton chose to build Micro.blog on top of it.

My two week experiment with Reminders was interesting. Everything considered, I almost made the switch. But in the end, I had to return to Things. There’s less friction overall working with data and the way I use Things’ tagging for context (where, what and priority) just works better for me.

Very strange… I start up and login to the work laptop, launch all the apps, and there’s not one email, Teams chat or Slack message waiting for me.

Ooh… How about being able to set more than one category for the mnml home page, like, maybe, Posts AND Photos, but omit others? I’ll neither confirm or deny you might be seeing this here already. You be the judge.
