Atlantis update. We found docserver.root and the static site builds. As you can see from the screen shot it needs moderizing, luckily we have a much more beautiful design already deployed for Drummer.
Toni Schneider, CEO of Bluesky, responded to my advice, and I responded to that. Someday I hope that thread will be browsable in either app, and could be written in either app (Bluesky or RSS.chat) or any other compatible app, which basically means supporting RSS 2.0 with some new elements to get us to the next level of discourse with just a few little standards, like podcasting, but for text.
Rumor is OpenAI is launching a new agent called Aeon next week. I hope they can also finish consolidating Chat, Work, and Codex. More users will switch to Meta’s Muse if ChatGPT’s suite of products remains so disjointed. Muse already has a great, approachable brand.
Okay Typosphere, Who else is using their typewriter to converse with others via web...

The death of web development education – Rescuing a field from disappearing
A grim tally.
Think local
If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of hearing about so-called “AI”. We are not a fringe. The majority consensus amongst actual regular people is that this is being forced down our throats and stuffed into our eyes and ears.
That’s why it pains me that I’m about to add ...
Another update on the new theme editor: I added a “…” context menu with a “Show Locations” item. This will show where a template is coming from, e.g. your custom theme or a plug-in. Still can be confusing, but getting better.
I filled out the Siri AI class action settlement to get my $25 to $95. But I’m not happy about it, because for these lawsuits all I can think about is how much the lawyers are making. It’s a racket.
Is AI ruining my brain?
I am an AI skeptic/hater/slow adopter, due to a combination of concerns about the ethics and environmental impact of AI and the fact that I like doing things myself. I knit my own socks, I built a swing for my porch this summer, and every Thanksgiving I make pies from scratch — even the crust (do you like my handmade em dash?).
Choke Canyon State Park. Kind of a rough night camping. Pretty much had the place to myself, though, except rabbits and deer.
I'm contemplating a couple of additions to Frontier in the Atlantis release. Two new formats, JSON and Markdown, have come along and become popular since I last worked on Frontier. Two fantastic open formats, in wide use on the web. From many years of working in JavaScript, I...
What Chrome says about my blog.
HTTPS is bugging me again. Now that my main desktop is finally a modern Mac, I can see how ugly Google is getting about my poor old blog that goes back to 1994. I think they should make exceptions for historic sites. Go ahead and have your AI do a scan and see that there are ...
[this is aaronland] it’s a funny way to tell a story
Aaron’s talk at Papercamp opened with this:
Fun fact: Alex and I first met 19 years ago at a conference in Paris where, coincidentally, I was speaking about something I referred to as the “Papernet”. Amazingly there are no photographs, that I could find online, of either of us speaking. This is a nice passage that Jeremy Keith wrote about the event at the time.

Bruce Schneier on Systems
Bruce is one of my favorite writers. He packs profoundness. Also honored that he’s an advisor at Automattic, truly one of my idols. His blogs and books rocked my world when I was young.
New music morning
7:00. Wake up. I recall. Taylor Swift’s new music is out today. I proceed to listen to all four new songs while still in bed, looking up to the ceiling and the sky and toward my cool, warm pillow, eager to do nothing else but appreciate the music.
I am sure there will be mo...

Exporting LiveJournal Posts (in 2026)
I’ve attempted to log in to, or change my password for, LiveJournal several times in the last 15 years or so. It’s never worked right. My account url: artlung.livejournal.com Mostly all I used that site for was as a POSSE and PESOS target. I reposted my blog posts, and reposted summaries of my tweets there...
