I'm going to try blogging over at Micro.blog for a while, to see if that fits what I want to do, or re-inspire me in any way. A new blog, with a fresh start, even though it will mean a completely new “workflow”. It might be a temporary change, or it might become my new place. I'll drop the links once everything settles down a bit.

I'm kinda intrigued by the PinePhone. I doubt it would ever be my daily driver, but nonetheless, there's something that's got me interested. Perhaps as more of a “portable computer” than a regular smartphone?

I'm also tempted by the PineBook Pro, as a lightweight means to tinker around in Linuxland, rather than switch OS on my main PC every 9 months, but I don't think I've ever seen the version with the UK keyboard in stock.

“Sunlit 3.0 for iOS is now available in the App Store! It’s built on the foundation of Micro.blog, but just for photos, and it can also publish to WordPress or IndieWeb blogs. Kind of like Instagram except no ads, no algorithms, and no Facebook.”

I'm feeling like I need to overhaul my website again, but I don't know how. I just know I'm not overly satisfied with it.

It's currently running on WordPress, with the Autonomie theme, and a suite of Indieweb plugins. I honestly can't remember the last time I logged into the admin UI. I'm posting everything via Micropub these days (either from a custom setup on my phone, or via Quill). I think the only thing I use the UI for is to post a gallery, or tweak the data the Post Kinds plugin parsed from a like/bookmark post. Even WordPress updates are all automated these days.

Speaking of Post Kinds, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to export all that data in a way I could use elsewhere? That might make the choice of what to do more difficult.

Maybe a new theme will inspire me, or maybe I need to completely change the underlying system? I'm not sure, so it's something to ponder over, while I have some free time over the next few days.

In fairness, regarding my last post, I volunteered to dial in to the call. It's in my interests to influence the outcome of the discussion – and I can't do that if I'm not part of the conversation.

Normally I'm quite militant about being completely out of the office when I'm on leave. But this time I see being a little flexible as being in the interests of “the greater good” and to my long term gain.

But that doesn't mean I can't also be snarky about the whole thing, and thinking the situation is ass-backward 😅

I’ve just got to make it through today, then I’m on annual leave for a week. Today’s going to go soooo slow 😆
