Encountered the ‘word’ “BoFu” for the first time this morning. Sometimes client projects open a window on new worlds.

I’m already using another OH no Type Company font for this project, but am very, very tempted to switch over to Casserole, new to me this morning…
Finally making real progress with figuring out how to deploy a massive site on Netlify with Gatsby 5. Been stuck on 3 for a long time while I’ve taken baby steps through these migration issues.
Hundreds of e-books getting de-DRMed and organized in Calibre on first day of my quarantine. Who knows what other thrilling projects await?
Finally caught COVID. Time to see what I can make happen with a few quiet days of quarantine.
Drove into Asheville today to meet Alse at Burial later in the afternoon. Doing some tourism beforehand centered around a trip to Harvest Records. Walking up and down Haywood Rd. I found the Firestorm co-op bookstore which is absolutely wonderful.
Listening to Core Intuition and excited to hear Manton seem to brighten up when webhooks come up as a solution to the Twitter debacle, mentioning the users (including me) who have who have already asked for support for custom webhooks in the crossposting on Micro.blog. Will make my life so much easier on some of my personal site updates I’m working on.
Very stoked on the new Content Collections API, but I have some incredibly long and deeply nested JSON files that I’m not thrilled about having to redefine in YAML.
Enjoying recent ‘Stretching to Infinity’ from Seattle’s Reverse Death. Psychedelic folk and drones from sleepy pianos and flute over fingerpicked guitars.
My newest innovation in posting avoidance is adding content to my unpublished personal website revamp which may never see the light of day.
Events of the last few days have spurred me to finally write a little script to go through and resolve all of the t.co links in our PDR social media archive to their real target URLs for future-proofing.
A few good short runs in a row these last couple weeks, but I think I should release myself from the pressure of the spring marathon season and hope for an easy, full recovery before starting to prep for the fall.
I pause for a moment while setting up annual Todoist billing in January for fear that future me will be disappointed that this was related to some lame New Year’s Resolution. I swear to him it’s not.
Back in Ohio after several weeks away in Belgium and North Carolina. Kid back in school tomorrow. There’s lots of client work to catch up on, but I can feel the space for returning to personal projects approaching.
Pulled out Jesse Grosjean’s Bike Outliner this morning to untangle a cascade of feature feedback/questions and to organize my answers.
Very intrigued by Ben Brown’s Shuttlecraft project, but have to resist the temptation to fiddle in order to stick with my pile of other unfinished personal projects.
Lovely feeling to wake up to the first day of date-sensitive presentation code working as it should on its own.
Screensharing on my basement server in Ohio from Belgium to confirm that the power is still on there, and that therefore we still have heat, and that therefore hopefully no pipes have frozen.
Went to the exhibit of Lucie Kamuswekera’s embroidery at the Ambsab social history museum in Gent yesterday. Got to see two of the pieces Sarah bought when she was last in Congo in the flesh for the first time and took a photo.
Sitting in the pithiness of Alan Jacobs’s notion of the past as “our always-available counterculture” all morning.
The updates on Nova keep coming just as I’ve become sick enough of a bug that I’m ready to submit a report myself. Perfect timing.
Covered in frozen mist in Belgium and doing some digital housekeeping for the first time in a long time. Impressed by much DEVONthink has evolved since I last really pushed my understanding of it.
Just noticed I posted over a year ago that I was working on redoing my personal site in Astro. I still am.
Found ‘Feliz Navidad from Freddy Fender’ on vinyl at Twist and Shout in Denver a couple of years ago. It’s now in top holiday season rotation. m.youtube.com/watch
Taking the opportunity of a new laptop to get into using Warp as my terminal and am impressed with a lot of the new interface thinking. Little imperfections stand out strongly in the context of my experience with iTerm which is so rock-solid, but think the creativity may be worth the friction.
