Irony of the written word - The people whose thoughts you would really like to read, rarely write. It’s not because they don’t want to, it’s that they believe nobody cares to read. And in that void, sheer excellence vanishes. Write wherever you can, whenever you can, however you can. #write

Awesomeness! Look's like you need to just need to parse out the processed html instead of raw html. Also bsky seems to use 'facets' for making links clickable..I temporarily switched the permalink to the front to ease my initial processing a bit.

🔗 My wife and I still haven’t figured where/when we want to retire yet, but sadly the U.S. seems to be a bleaker option with every passing day. I don’t think any country has really figured out their healthcare system well and those that had a decent stab at it seem to be hell bent on br...

As much as I am okay with things being ephemeral; Everytime I see even a random person’s website being non-responsive, my heart breaks a bit. #indieweb

🔗 Had a real good time at the Marine ball this year. This one felt way more ‘connected’. Probably because we knew almost everyone? Had to head back home around 2130 right around the time the music was kicking in. The souvenir [link]coin[/link] looked pretty tame as compared to the coin ...

🔗 After a failed attempt [link]last week[/link], I made it up to Mbankolo this morning. Romero joined me and we ran into an LGF at the base of the hill. This place is pretty neat and way better than Mt. Febe! So glad I decided to give this another shot

🔗 On the phone, I use Signal’s note-to-self to record on-the-go thoughts or to quickly bookmark stuff. Later when on the laptop, I migrate these to my Trilium notes. After years of dabbling between multiple ’notes’ applications, this has stuck. Using the default messaging app as my n...

🔗 Because power, greed and corruption blindsided us and we got complacent with short term profits? Beyond ridiculous that we’ve been running on layered CR band-aids almost every year making it more of a norm than an exception. [link]🔗[/link]

🔗 Stopped by the Campost office earlier this Monday and bought a good ton of stamps. Added them to my digital [link]stamp collection[/link]. The Post office received a fresh coat of paint last month for the Presidential election. Staff were super welcoming and were super curious as to why w...

🔗 Reorganized my [link]Trilium Notes[/link] a bit. Over time I started dumping notes in there and somewhere it all went a bit wayward. I really need to start using it as a proper knowledge base. The good thing is most content that I refer to frequently is all in there

Finally got around pushing a minimally formatted post!

🔗 I think the primary draw in Webmentions for me is the ‘context’ it provides. Several years down the lane when your ‘rewind’ brings up a post, the value that provides is quite amplified when you are able to see what/when it was written for. Totally appreciate the ’nudge’ and th...

If i could see from the shell, would i see a seashell under the bluesky? #indieweb

Gadget Bridge This is fantastic, @hund@fosstodon.org ! Thanks for the nudge! I did try Gadgetbridge a few years ago. They didn’t quite support Garmin then. Gave it a spin just now and looks like they’ve come a long way! So far I’ve been exporting my garmin to my site but nothing like a full fledged app with all the bells and whistles. 🔗

Skipping seconds TIL certain watches ‘skip seconds’ to conserve battery and to indicate that they are almost out of charge. Noticed this in my Fossil watch a few weeks ago and didn’t bother finding out why. Today, it went dead and only then did I connect the dots! Super neat! Skip a second, warn but still keep time. This is similar to a vehicle’s indicator light flashing quicker when the bulb’s blown. 🔗

It's fun to see how it evolves as you add more content. I set locations on my posts a few months ago and built a map based on it. It's been a pretty neat tool to quickly search for stuff too.
