I’ve added an "on-this-day" feature to my site. I’ve been publishing for a long time, and this is becoming a place for all my data, so I thought it might be interesting to look back at past posts for a given day instead of just the usual WordPress archives.

I’ve also added a "now" feature, which is just a link to the full blog archive.

I don’t want to have posts displaying on my front page, since things are cleaner that way, but there should be an easy way for people to get to an archive of all content along with everything else without having to remember an address and manually typing that in the address bar.

I need to add some subscription links to the menu as well.

We have mechanical keyboards coming on Monday. I’m glad for this. Both of us spend tons of time typing, and a mechanical keyboard will make typing a ton easier.

My birthday was a lot of fun. Lots of good food and drink was had.

We went to Texas Road House, and I had a 16-oz ribbeye along with a huge mound of mashed potatoes covered with cheese, butter and sour cream, some yeast roles and a huge salad. We also tried all the desserts. Afterwards we jumped on Facetime with Wil and Denise and drank beers with them, which was a lot of fun.

I’d like to thank everyone for writing on my timeline for my birthday. It means a lot.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to unify the various timelines I follow, mostly Mastodon (minus the accounts who merely syndicate their Twitter, which means all their retweets, and Micro.blog). I may pull in some stuff from Twitter but I’ll be very very selective in which things I pull over.

Anyway, this isn’t working out the way I’d hoped.

I may see about using Togethr to do it, along with adding some code to my functions.php file to make both Mastodon and Micro.blog links clickable.

I have Bridgy Fed set up (I think properly), so replies, reposts ETC. should work properly.

I’ve found I have plenty of people to interact with on Micro.blog and Mastodon, but Twitter at this point and especially Facebook are pretty much a chore that I’m less and less inclined to tend to.

I log into Facebook from time to time to post something to the business page or respond to messages and that’s it.
