Now all I need is a GUIless client to post and I’m golden.

I have to say I’m rather enjoying the ability to use a #WordPress instance to create content and then post it directly to the social medias. #indieweb

I’m craving gummy bears. Why the hell am I craving gummy bears? I don’t even like them.

I’m testing this out with WordPress now. Let’s see how this works. I need to remember to add all these cool little indieweb apps to my phone’s home screen. It’ll make not using the WordPress app a lot easier.

Dear the Facebook. I hate your algorithum so much right now. I’m trying to find something I commented on, so I can add a further comment, and you are disappearing it on me and failing and just put the news feed back the way it originally was. Nobody cares about your ability to curate stuff for us. You suck at this. Nobody cares about what you want to promote. You suck at this too. It is literally the fault of algorithums like this that fake news, (and I mean actual fake news, not news one side or the other doesn’t like), is a problem. So knock it off already.

That time you ask yourself why the hell the screen reader is so loud, and then you remember that you have the headphones plugged into the big speakers that you migrated to the desk, and the volume is still turned all the way up because you were listening to music earlier.

That time you’re extremely happy with yourself because you’ve managed to completely move into your new phone, and then you remember that you are subscribed to a ton of podcasts using Downcast, and you check to make sure everything ported over correctly, and it did. Smooth iPhone migration for the win.

That time when you’re waiting for your phone to charge so you can continue listening to music while you drink your beer. Yeah, I know, first world problems.

Today the high was 60F, (15.6C), and there will be snow showers, at least according to the current weather forecast:

Saturday
Snow during the morning will give way to lingering snow showers during the afternoon. Some sleet may mix in. Temps nearly steady in the mid to upper 30s. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snowfall around one inch.
Saturday Night
A mostly clear sky. Low near 25F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

If there’s enough snow/sleet, (in other words, more than just sprinking), I’ll be sure to provide some audio to contrast with Monday’s torrential downpour. We’re only supposed to get an inch, (which isn’t really a big deal), and it’ll stick around long enough to freeze and become icy slush over Saturday night. Also there will be raids on the stores tomorrow. Yay southern living!

I have determined that the best way for me to get work done at this stage in my life is to listen to ambient music, rather than my normal lists on Spotify. It helps keep my brain from racing. For right now I’m using the soundscapes provided by Ambient Mix, which leaves my phone free to do, well, phone things. There’s a list of ambient playlists on Spotify that my friend Tom McFarlin published sometime back, and once I find that link again, and then do the searching for those lists from the app on my phone, I’ll probably switch back to using Spotify for work things. I need to spend some more time with Spotify on the PC anyway so I can become more familiar with how the UI works.

Dear The Facebook: Apparently it’s time for me to clear my cookies again, because when I logged into the Facebook to check on a notification, it didn’t ask for username and password. Also, we need to talk about all the email you’re sending. So yeah, time to go screw around with settings. God I hate the settings screens. All of them. And the ninth circle of hell that is threaded comments on the Facebook. God, interminable “View previous comments”. God help you if a post has more than ten comments. You’ll never get out again. It’s like an infinite loop of “What the hell!”. I mean, you can get back out, if you click the logo, or if you click on the original post, which may or may not reappear, and God help you if you leave a comment and want to pick up where you left off reading. Everybody on my Facebook just start blogging and get it over with. Then we can all leave. Make webrings great again!

I will not #DumpKelloggs. I'm going to be supporting them by buying the shit out of their cereal this weekend.

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that #DumpKelloggs will be just as successful as the Hamilton boycott.

That time you find that there’s an outlet very very close to where you sit outside. Woohoo!
