It appears the coveted domain acquisition will not happen despite my best efforts. Why? The current holder has decided money is more important and would rather auction it off to squatters than sell it to someone who actually has a use for it. I’m not paying 4-figures for a domain.
Yay capitalism…
Take two… I’m super-stoked to finally share that my Tinylytics plugin for WordPress is available for download from my Micro.blog site, micro.jimmitchell.org. If you have a WordPress site and have wanted to track your analytics using the awesome privacy-focused Tinylytics service, this plugin is for you.
Incoming rant alert…
Want to know how much I hate email replies that simply say “thank you” in the body and nothing else? I can’t think of anything I dislike more, that’s how much.
Thanks for listening. Now carry on…
My wife and I just laid the ground rules for a monthly date night to break us out of the ruts we let ourselves get into. Dinner at a place we’ve never been to, and then at least the first set of a band somewhere, no matter how bad they might be.
I decided to go all in on an Arq premium subscription today. Being able to backup up to five computers for only $10 more a year sold me. Arq is so unobtrusive that I forgot I was backing stuff up until the trial expired.
Still trying to get my hands on the long-coveted domain from the other Jim Mitchell (.net TLD for those curious), but it’s dragged out long enough that I’m about to throw in the towel. There’s something about .net versus .org that lends nerd cred to a domain name which is why I covet it so badly.
To be considered an App of the Year, the software needs to be something I used extensively, value and enjoy.
Every new year I tell myself “This will be the year I stop eating lunches at my desk”, and every year I’ve ended up failing on the very first day back in the office. This year was no exception. At least I’m consistent in my failings.

I’m beginning the new year (a tad early) with a plan to read the LOTR storyline, starting with The Silmarillion. I’m a fan of the movies and read The Hobbit some 20 years ago, so I decided now was as good a time as any to tackle the task of actually reading all the books.
