    The other day I received a snail mail postcard from an old high school friend. We really need to bring back postcard writing. It is such a different feeling than getting a text.

    Some code wasn't working and then I realized a single quote was right next to a double quote and my old eyes didn't see it. Arggggg.

    Why does every new device have to have a retina scarring blue LED?

    That feeling when you Amazon package is tracking nicely. Then it is delayed. Then it gets a new tracking number with a different carrier and not a single status update. wtf

    Trying to decide if I really want to dive down the #Obsidian rabbit hole. Been using Tiddlywiki for PARA for a long time and should leave well enough alone but shiny new thing is shiny.

    I get an email from LinkedIn saying I appeared in x number of searches. How is this even useful? Is it to keep job seekers away from the edge? Like, 'keep trying buddy, you'll make it.'

    Current crazy posting mode consits of 11ty, some Hygen templates, old school batch files, a file watch and WinSCP. Also Bridgy and webmentions.It's a house of cards but it feeds my geeky soul. #indieweb.

     by 

    Now I just need to figure out incremental builds for #11ty. There really is no reason to rebuild and upload all files when I create 1 new post. I think the feature is coming in 2.0 but I might have some ideas for work arounds at lest for the upload bit.
