Talbert Nature Preserve, Redux
Another outing at the local nature preserve, adding some distance.
For the Micro.blog people… Yet another mnml release (2.7.3) that optimizes for previously duplicated featured post home page code and refactors styles even more should be available for you shortly, if not already. ✌🏻
I set up a “random” post link in my site navigation with @sod’s Surprise me! Micro.blog plugin yesterday. I’ve already spent too many hours over the last two days clicking it myself, both reliving and cringing at past posts. Fun times…
There's Free, and Then There's Free
There are two kinds of people on the internet; those who appreciate the efforts of indie bloggers & developers and choose to support them, and those who feel because it’s offered free it’s theirs for the taking without giving any credit whatsoever.
Back in January, I decided to try Raycast Pro for a year and, after nine months, I’m committed to renewing. Its AI features have come to help validate some of my development decisions and answer questions. Plus it replaces several standalone apps, making the price worthwhile to me.
I’ve gotta say, after a few days, I am not regretting moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. I think it’s going to stick this time.
It’s always super-dangerous when I go to the watch shop. I went to get a battery replaced in my wife’s Bulova and was so close to walking out with a new Citizen Promaster Dive watch…
Another mnml Update
A new version of mnml has been released that addresses a few items…
There's a Word for That
I never knew there was a word for the smell of fresh rain on the ground. When it happens, I stop, close my eyes, take a deep inhale, and let the fragrance of nature move my soul.
Coming to Terms with Age
Some thoughts about becoming a full-fleged sexagenarian. I can see it’s time for some things to change.
Talbert Nature Preserve
My first hike post-CABG is in the books…
Rather than a simple walk around the neighborhood for exercise today, I’m actually getting out on a real hiking trail, even if it’s classified as easy with very little elevation gain. It’s time to get some dust on the trail runners again…
Okay… I pulled the trigger on moving my Fediverse presence back to Micro.blog. If you followed me on my “dot social” instance, you should have been automatically moved here. I’m going to try hard to keep it this way. ✌🏻
I woke up a couple hours earlier than usual today, so I spent the time reorganizing my Obsidian vault and tweaking my OmniFocus setup.
I feel accomplished.
The date has been set for my TCAR surgery. Of course it’s the Wednesday before the Monday I was supposed to return to work. That means I’ll have to take a little extra time off for recovery. Dang it! I’m so ready to get back to the day job already.
I’m in a “simplify all the things” state of mind, which means I’m once again giving serious thought to moving my Fediverse (Mastodon) presence back to Micro.blog and spinning down my single user instance… 🤔
📷 Clouds
After a day of coding and house chores, it’s time to fire up the smoker to try a new smoked chicken recipe.
Life is good…
mnml: Pinned Post Feature
I added a cool new pinned post feature to mnml that keeps the latest post in a category of choice pinned to the top of your home page…
📷 The beach was not as busy as we thought it would be today…
