Nice atmospheric middle age murder story. Great characters, great acting, great makeup, great setting, great fog.

The protagonist is like an anti James Bond: no action, no talking, no sex, no drama. And he still gets the job done. And the movie still manages to be suspenseful and entertaining despite all the "missing" bits. The end left me a little confused, but other than that, this was ace. Jarmusch just makes movies I like.
This also has a brilliant music scene with flamenco guitar playing, -dancing and -singing. And it's probably all done while the camera was rolling. I can rarely tolerate music not matching the instrument on camera, but this was the exact opposite. Kudos!
And I enjoyed the soundtrack, too.
Been watching Interior: Chinatown on Hulu. Didn’t read the book, but interesting story.

We went to the middle age market again. And our group of friends filmed a music video as a birthday present one afternoon.

Zoe's first day at school. I went photographing with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. It was my mum's birthday. Saw Gatecreeper and Converge live in Dortmund with Bernd and Fred. We went to a horse race. And Bernd and I went on a multiday hike in Austria, where I broke my arm.

Switched to ClassicPress
A few weeks ago I decided to switch this site to ClassicPress. The recent WordPress drama was merely the final straw. It was years of the block editor, aka Gutenberg.
I want to write content. The block editor feels like I am typesetting a magazine. The classic WordPres...

Their little suites with a bedroom and kitchenette were perfect for my weekend needs.
During this trip, I got frustrated when I made an order in a local business I expressed asked for them not to give me something, Mentioned it three times, asked them to confirm, But brought it back with me to the venue I was at and low and behold…The thing I asked them not to give me. This is like when I go to a restaurant and ask for a my drink with no ice and no lemon and one of those things shows up. I normally don’t write about such things…but I told this story several times to people and I was told that if I told the same story 3 times, it needed to be on my website. So here it is.
I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but 32,000 people attended last year according to their site.
Determining Good Syndication Defaults
I’ve been very reluctant to set defaults for syndication, making options be selected each time instead. This is a bit problematic because I like to reduce friction.
The issue is that I don’t want them to be global. I want them to be a bit more granular.
For example, a hallmark of a note for me is that is doesn’t have an explicit title. Maybe I want all notes to go to all services that support them unless I say otherwise….
I am worried about a mistake I made years ago involving importing old posts… so the code needs to check the published date and not post anything old automatically.
Responses to URLs on a syndication site should automatically go out to that site…but not necessarily to other sites.
I had a discussion about this with my Indieweb associates at IndieWebCamp San Diego and I’m still not sure what I’ll end up doing.
I’ve been diverted to Las Vegas unexpectedly due weather. Joy.
