I just got an email from Inoreader. New pricing and service levels. 150 feed cap for “Free” service which is still good. Still I might give Wordpress.com Reader a second look as my main RSS reader.

I should start taking more photographs and posting them. I keep forgetting that my phone is a camera. Duh.
-
I should keep a log of changes and experiments when I am doing them on this blog. Maybe that’s what the wiki is for.

Zoinks! A refurbished iPhone X is still $769. That’s a heck of a lot of money for a refurbished phone.

Signed up for IntenseDebate which lets you sign in with your Wordpress.com ID and login which is nice.

Indiebookclub works great with Micro.blog. You probably knew that but it’s the first time I’ve used it.

Also with Micropublish.net, Articles (long form posts) do not work. That’s a real bummer. Leaves Linux and possibly Windows without an HTML WYSIWYG editor UI.
