Turban shell progress

How it started, how it’s going. Constancy The other day I found a turban shell in the sand. I’ve found a few before. That day I set it to soak in a mild bleach solution. I check it periodically. At least daily. I have a sort of constancy about it. It’s not gardening. (as in...

🎬 The Art of Destruction

Movie poster for “The Art of Destruction”.

I never listened to Destruction all that much. But I had a great evening at this premier at the cinema with friends, the film crew and a few beers (and a whole bunch of other metalheads). Entertaining movie about a sympathetic band and how difficult it was during the pandemic for a band that usually plays around 150 gigs per year.

But know everything lost will be recovered When you drift into the arms of the undiscovered That’s from a Monkees song that’s so beautiful I cry every time I hear it. It’s called Me and Magdalena.

Web readers and RSS readers

I think the term “RSS reader” needs revisiting. I much prefer “web reader.” The term “RSS reader” is protocol-first — RSS — rather than use case first. To understand what “RSS reader” means, you need to know what RSS is and why it matters. Designing tools for everyone, not ...

Wolf

I’m hungry like a wolf, but that doesn’t make me a wolf. Things take time, and life takes time.

I started sorting out my blog posting workflow again. Ever since the Git-based CMSes stopped working, I posted considerably less. I’m using Jekyll to build this site; and creating a file, adding all the frontmatter, making a Git commit and pushing the repo is just too much overhead for me.

So now I have started to automate all those above steps. For now, this works on iOS/iPadOS for my Notes. I currently start writing in the Drafts app; then I can trigger one Shortcut which handles everything else for me via the Working Copy app. And Gitlab CI builds the page as usual.
