I still can’t get Ditchbook to run properly on Windows, so I’ve started manually importing my content from Facebook.
I don’t really mind because it’s far from the only manual import I need to do, plus I have the time off to do it, and it’ll be a nice exercise in deciding what to keep and what not to keep.
I need to find something that’ll let me read the location data and such on Windows for the photo import parts, but it’ll be interesting to map locations to photos and other past content.
I’ve still got to start on the stuff from Goodreads and Foursquare/Swarm.
We did some grocery shopping and got some treats for this week and we’re planning to do more on Tuesday, along with getting some Chinese to eat while everyone else is eating traditional Christmas dinner on Wednesday.
And as usual we’re reading books. I’m up to one hundred and eighty for this year and we still have ten days left to go.

A quick note on some #a11y improvements in the @godaddy DNS management interface
Just popping my head up to offer some very rare but well-earned praise for GoDaddy.
I just had to log into their DNS manager to update a record for a client. I found that the record editing process was extremely accessible which made my job easier.
There are of course still improvements that need to be made to the interface, but I’m glad to see that some accessibility work has been done.
On a related note, WPEngine is promising a new interface with keyboard accessibility, which is also a welcome improvement.
I’m looking forward to that.

Wow. Our local schools are having their first two-hour delay for this winter.
I know in North Carolina it only takes an inch or less for that to happen and I suspect it takes more up here to get a two-hour delay, but we have freezing rain and I think ice on the roads.
I’m told that January and February are actually the worst for this kind of weather.
We had some snow yesterday but not enough for me to build the snowman I’m promising.

I normally try not to transform into a complete geek while reading books, but now they’re talking about the Dark web and this character, who apparently spends a bunch of time on the on the dark web used a consumer as opposed to an onion router this one time when he went on the dark web and that’s how he got caught, and I want to slap Alex Cross for being so wrong right now. I also want to slap James Patterson for writing a character who manages to go on the dark web without an onion router. For the love of books can authors please please please research before writing?
