Notes

I have a sickness… When I see something misaligned by even one or two pixels in one of my designs, it will drive me absolutely nuts until I can fix it. I’m too much of a perfectionist.

“Pretty is something to be observed. Beauty is something to be admired.” - My wife as she and I were talking about Melania Trump.

She’s spot on… The woman may be pretty, but she’s far from beautiful.

I never really cared much for, or about TikTok and the other “corporate” social platforms, and I still don’t… The IndieWeb is where’s it’s at.

If you’re a user of the Micro.Masonry plugin, it got a full rewrite this morning to handle large image collections far more gracefully than it did before.

📷 I took our 15-year-old Chihuahua to the vet for a checkup. She’s on almost as many pills as I am now. Poor old girl.

Trying out a guestbook option on the site. Who will be the first to sign?

Yo! Cotton Bureau merchandise is on sale for 20% off until midnight tonight using the code “FLASHSALEFRIDAY” at checkout. If you’ve been on the fence about getting that Micro.blog merch, today’s the day for it. Here’s the page…

I’m going to migrate my long standing TextExpander snippets to Raycast today and apply that bit of money to a Raycast Pro subscription. There’s so much Raycast power I’ve not even tapped into yet…

I’ve decided to un-alias (de-alias?) my Micro.blog Fediverse handle from my social.jimmitchell.org Mastodon username. I will, however, continue to cross-post to my instance. We’ll see how this goes. It might mean conversations happening in two different places, but I think that’s okay.

😬 Much to my chagrin, I discovered that the photos page for my mnml theme is not rendering photos very well without a plugin. Eek. This will be getting addressed tonight.
