Microblog
Dear RSS reader,
I am removing microblog posts from my main RSS feed. If for some weird reason you would like to continue getting them, please subscribe to the following feed:
/journal/category/microblog/feed
What remains are the 3–5 articles I write per year, usually about web development and personal projects.

I find myself wanting to post emoji reactions to statuses on status.lol. But all you can do is look. Maybe that's how it should be.
After omg.lol was featured on Hacker News it received 1,070 new signups. I was one of them! One of its features is a Mastodon instance, so I'm finally in the Fediverse I guess. @bw
🥰
Feeling grateful for all the free and open source software out there that keeps civilization running.
What’s the easiest way to auto-publish Mastodon posts to Twitter?
😀
If everything worked correctly, this status should show up at https://blakewatson.com/microblog.
🤓
Playing around with the statuslog webhook and API (this is a test lol).

I just bought an omg.lol address so I could see how far off base the haters on Hacker News were. They all over there like: WhY DoN'T YoU JuSt gEt yOuR OwN DoMaIn??
*tap tap* is this thing on?
Cracks knuckles Chrome Manifest V3 here we go…
I started holiday vacation today and I have a plan drawn up to catch up on side projects. I’m calling it Holiday Sprint 2022.
I started with some quick updates to my DIY Pinboard replacement and managed to knock out the whole backlog!
I don’t mind holding and listening to silly music. I get it. Customer service is swamped. But I hate the recurring message telling me how important I am every 10 seconds.
I had to switch over to iA Writer for NaNoWriMo. I love Scrivener and Ulysses but if you give me unbridled font choices, I will never get any writing done.
Yesterday, instead of writing on my NaNoWriMo novel, I wrote an article about the font I was using. Inexplicably, it hit the #1 spot on Hacker News and stayed there for hours. This is the most traffic my dusty little corner of the web has seen in a while.
SMA Simulator you can use with no tech required!
First, find a comfortable place to sit down.
Next, reposition yourself so that you’re almost comfortable, but not.
Don’t move for 4-6 hours.
Repeat until you’re ready to exit the simulation.
(I jest, but like low key for real tho 😅)
If I could drive my wheelchair at an optimistic 7 mph directly toward the moon, I would arrive there in about 3.9 years. 🌕👨🦼
