I’m certain Cryptozoology and Cryptocurrency are siblings.
Today’s Pointless Bird Site Thread: Age of Consent. As near as I can figure it people are saying it should be age 26 or even 35 yrs. Just in case you missed it.
I may have to commit a wiki soon.
Zombie movies are too much like real life these days.
I grew up watching Roger Moore play The Saint on TV. Later I found that one of my favorite actors, Vincent Price had played The Saint on radio. A light hearted take on the character but I found them very entertaining. Fun.
I just upgraded Ubuntu Linux to 22.04.1 LTS and everything seemed smooth. So far so good.
Amazon you already have your robots crawling everywhere on the web. You might as well notch it up a level and build a real index and web search engine.
Today i learned about corpse roads and some few still exist.
I’ve got the song Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish stuck in my head and it won’t stop. I guess that’s not a bad thing.
Here’s the deal America: let’s tear down all the good looking old buildings, your entire downtown, leaving weedy vacant lots, chain link fences, a parking lot and maybe we can attract a dollar store in a steel shed building. Deal?
US Passenger Trains: Let’s set some goals. 1. Get most long distance trains up to at least 110 mph and increase frequency. 2. Then get key long distance routes up to at least 150 mph with priority over freight while building true dedicated HSR network.
If you could revive one vintage desktop operating system which would it be: Commodore Amiga OS or IBM OS/2?
Prediction: Next Big Thing in the blogosphere will be Federated blogs. I have no idea how that will work or how it will differ from the #Indieweb or if it will even be useful.
It’s too bad we don’t have a way to tax non-search engine bots on the internet.
Methinks, there are some messages being sent to China. Germany flies 13 planes to Australia for exercises
I’m ordering microwaveable refried beans (also some black beans) in those pouches from Amazon. Without guilt. I’m keeping all the Darkness in the World at bay with beans.
Olden Days: Gasoline was like 0.29 cents a gallon. They pumped the gas for you, washed your windshield, checked your oil and gave you free road maps. Today, gas is near $4 a gallon, no maps and you do all the work. We’re a bunch of suckers.
For a search engine that does not really exist yet Apple’s Applebot is sure fast and busy.
I’m surprised there isn’t a digital garden plugin for WordPress.
This is well worth the read: A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden by Maggie Appleton.
Keeping My Notes Online
I've spent the last few days making a thing to keep my notes online and public. This is partly why I've been looking at ...I can confirm that the #Indieweb suite of plugins work on ClassicPress CMS. I thought they would, but it is good to know in the wild. Good to have another compatible, viable CMS platform for the Indieweb.
New website is 3 days old. It has no incoming links. Googlebot has visted. Somebody has already posted a spam comment.
ClassicPress.net has a plugin to convert a WprdPress install to ClassicPress. I’m not sure all the #Indieweb plugins will be compatible with ClassicPress. Is it worth the sacrifice? Anyone done this?
Started during the Pandemic Lockdown and rolling on from shear inertia: It’s Frozen Pizza Friday! So guess what’s for supper tonight.
