A much deserved — yet delayed — shout out to @Mtt (and by extension @sod) for proactively reaching out about a category related issue in mnml, which is now fixed. It’s collaboration like this that makes Micro.blog awesome.

I’m reconsidering my online presence, yet again. I hopped back on Bluesky not too long ago, and definitely think I don’t need it. I’m also debating the ROI of a Mastodon presence apart from Micro.blog. I’m not sure spending $72 a year is worth what I’m getting from it. 🤔

My new Logitech MX Master 3S arrived today. It’s more of a handful than what I’m used to, and it’s a little heavier, but I can see why people rave about it. I’m liking it so far.

A small mnml update on the way (v2.5.5) that adds Chinese (Traditional) localization – props to @bobbytung – and tweaks a couple styles that you won’t even notice.

Thanks to @manton, I’ve been able to lay claim to the much coveted short Micro.blog username of just @jim. So if you’ve known me by @jimmitchell, I’m even cooler than I was before. 😁

We’re about to go and try to pick up the RV for the second time. I’m really hoping for all the things to be fixed this time.🤞🏻

Well damn… Not very good news from the cardiologist today. Significant blockages and calcification found. The one good bit of news in it is we’ve caught it in time to do something about it. Paying the tax on all those cheeseburgers, I guess.

Today’s wrist check and new daily driver, picked up over the weekend. The Seiko 5 SRPG39. A touch smaller than what I’m used to, but it’s growing on me. I think I need a better NATO band though. This one’s kind of wimpy.

A wristwatch with a black and white striped nylon strap displays the time as 10:10 and the date as Tuesday, 27th, on a person's wrist.

The feeling when you see the number of tasks in your task manager and realize you’ve been kicking too many tasks down the road lately. I’ve got a lot on my plate today for sure.

After receiving some glowing recommendations for the Logitech MX Master 3S For Mac online and getting a comprehensive review by email (thank you, @luxury_format), I dropped the cash for one. I’m hoping it lives up to the hype, y’all…

Using Phosphor Icons for Micro.blog Navigation

This post walks through how I’m using Phosphor icons for the Mastodon, Github and Search navigation links on my blog using the mnml theme.

Along with duct tape and Velcro, I think one of man’s greatest inventions has to be the zip tie.

My new Keychron keyboard arrived today. After just 10 minutes of use, I’m 100% a mechanical keyboard convert… Now I need a good mouse to pair it with. Any recommendations? I’ve been using an Apple Magic Mouse forever.

And finally, all six sets of Phosphor Icons for Micro.blog have been made available as plugins. That’s it. I’m done flooding your timeline for the day, maybe…

Hot on the heels of last night’s mnml release, I’ve made some additional updates to fix some category related class output and add styling for the <figure> and <figcaption> html elements. Version 2.5.4 is the latest.

Another mnml Release

The latest mnml theme update brings compatibility with the Micro.blog for macOS preview feature, and introduces icon support for navigation and titles, meaning you can now personalize your blog with Fontawesome and Phosphor Icons, making your design more dynamic and engaging.
