Late start today.

"NaBloPoMo 2023 Wrap-up"

Review of participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) for the first time.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Weblog themes, for real?!"

I'm considering something that has meaning to me. Decisions are hard when they feel like meaningful steps, especially when you have full control over them.

I see I've successfully procrastinated away most of the morning.

"Some Day Notes (2023/11/28)"

I just closed six tabs in one browser and it felt amazing.

I think today is a Some Day Notes day.

I’m awake, it’s after 5am, guess what time it is!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Is your blog for you or other people?"

Two things have me exploring feelings and ideas about personal blogs and who they're for.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Weblog themes for humanity."

I'm starting a new little project to provide some styles and custom bits for weblog.

This is the weekend of blog issues!

Reverting to the tasty holiday blend again this morning. I'm ruint!

Today has been so exhausting and all I did was drive, sit in a house with people and drive again.

for #NaBloPoMo

"A level at which one functions with ease and familiarity."

But now, coffee time!

Up too late last night tracking down weird URL bits and trying to remedy.

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part VII"

Microformats properties for citations using a previous weblog post as an example.

Back to blogging.

Baking cranberry crumb muffins today to take to family this weekend.

I've done something right in life if I wake on Black Friday and have zero junk in my inbox.

Pumpkin pie time.

I’m still quite mortified when a personal and painful post gets a couple hundred hits in a day.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Being thankful."

I slept extremely hard last night and it being a holiday I just woke up.

Just crossed another item off the Works in Progress list. I'm now 50% through that backlog of weblog posts started, but never completed.

"Working for a Living When Your Living isn't Working, Part III"

Part III: Now where do I go? I've been on hiatus for a while and there were factors that forced me into it, factors that I continue to see forced on other people to make impossible choices in their lives to this day.

Utensil take: The salad fork is overhyped for use in eating a salad. I regularly must stab my salad repeatedly to get it to load up with the big chunky bits I want to get a mouthful of when using a salad fork.

Made a small update comment to yesterday's post. Sometimes I like being unsure of something as it means I can grow.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part VI"

Adding "Reply by email" comments with mircroformats to weblog posts.

Time for tea.

Back to blogging.

Awake for some ungodly reason.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Working for a Living When Your Living isn't Working, Part II"

Part II: How did I get there? I've been on hiatus for a while and there were factors that forced me into it, factors that I continue to see forced on other people to make impossible choices in their lives to this day.

Attempting to finish part two of My Very Personal series today.

The coffee is gooood this morning, it's gonna be a goooood day!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Working for a Living When Your Living isn't Working, Part I"

Part I: Where was I? I've been on hiatus for a while and there were factors that forced me into it, factors that I continue to see forced on other people to make impossible choices in their lives to this day.

I gave up on sleep. I'm writing for as long as I can this morning, determined to finish that elusive post I've been trying to finish.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Weblog todos, tada!"

So much to do, so little time? A growing list of weblog (and related) todos.

for #NaBloPoMo

"My Switchboard"

My domain and subdomains are the definitive end all, be all, but you can get to these places via other routes.

I'm having a tough day. I don't really want to blog about it and all the wind has been sucked from my sails. But I still need to come up with a post for NaBloPoMo.

A wee bit on the slow side today.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Icons, fonts, SVGs—oh my!"

Considerations and options of replacing Font Awesome icon fonts with SVGs on weblog.

Let's see what kind of day it will be!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Signs of the season."

I made sourdough bread pizza for dinner and it hit the spot.

"Some Day Notes (2023/11/14)"

The sun is out. Yep just spent another 2.5 hours doing yard work and totally lost track of time.

Hey, it's 3:47pm and I'm yawning my ass off, so that sucks.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Types of blog posts."

A list of observations on common blog post themes. This will grow, items may combine, I doubt it will shrink.

I'm feeling sort of devious about today's weblog post.

I proclaim Monday to be big-pot-o-coffee day.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part V"

Platform updates enabled me to get microformats in place on the remaining subdomains.

Sometimes I think I am too online, until I end up spending 3.5 hours doing yard work and completely lose track of time like I did yesterday.

Gosh, I hate when my coffee is gone. Then I have to question whether I really need more and that is a tough conversation to have.

Awake, coffee, stat!

for #NaBloPoMo

"I always joke about living in an urban jungle."

for #NaBloPoMo

"Responsive images with Flickr sources: a walkthrough."

Revisiting using Flickr sources for crafting responsive images, and where to find the goodies on Flickr to do this.

Back on my web-logging.

Awake just before 5am again today, why isn't there a coffee in my hand yet?

Almost everyone in my timeline is talking about web components today, I love it!

The time is giant-salad-o'clock!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Day tripping."

Very exhausted from the day, went to bed early, and now I'm wide awake at not even 2am.

I mistakenly listened to three podcasts episodes this morning and now I have to drive an hour and have no fresh content to listen to.

for #NaBloPoMo

"A couple domain goodies."

Two more tasks to tack onto my new domain: email and CDN.

Tomorrow's post is up and ready to go!

I hate losing half a day to an appointment.

So dark!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part IV"

Part IV of adding microformats to weblog, marking up entries and feeds for posts and listings.

The weblog post I'm writing right now has over 1100 words. At this rate, I would have only needed to write 10 of these to reach the lofty 10,000 word #NaNoWriMo goal. So now I think the #NaBloPoMo goal of posting every day for the month is the tougher one.

I don't understand Default Apps.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part III"

Read about incorporating microformats into my profile page, and a proposed refactor! Part III in a series.

Not even sure why I made a tentative roadmap for this microformats series. I keep blowing it up.

Hello, it is me, busy, busy bee!

The Great Untethering : the daily move from the office to the living room with laptop.

I was supposed to go somewhere today but I'm going to hold off until after an important appointment this week. Plus, I'm too addicted to microformats and blogging right now to do anything else!

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part II"

Read more about my saga with the indieweb and incorporating microformats into my web life. Part II in a series.

Wild Saturday night: setting DNS records for my domain to send mail to Fastmail.

13 years, still gives me life, and I can listen to it for hours without needing to thumb anything up or down.

Thinking about making soup today, .

for #NaBloPoMo

"Diving into indiewebify.me & microformats, Part I"

I'm setting up the weblog for the indieweb, and microformats will help me get there! Read about the tools I'm starting with.

Starting A Haunting in Venice now.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Brain space."

Working through the puzzle pieces of integrating my web life and micro.blog.

Not sure I’m ready for this day.

Reaping the benefits of the giant pot of soup I made yesterday.

for #NaBloPoMo

"Dynamicism."

A much later start than yesterday, but gearing up for a more personal NaBloPoMo post today.

I've been on my computer too much today, time to find another screen to stare at!

I've already had two slices of pumpkin pie and it's only November 1st.

for #NaBloPoMo

"My First go at NaBloPoMo!"

It's National Novel Writing Month and we should revive National Blog Posting Month to celebrate the IndieWeb.

Update: there is a contingent that may be participating #NaBloPoMo and I will probably join and should start with a post about just that.

Thinking about participating in #NaNoWriMo for the first time, but using it for blogging.

Can I write 10,000 words on weblog in November?
