The Last Calvin

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye. Liesbeth Corens I’m not always the most nostalgic guy but Calvin & Hobbes never fails to warm me up. I was such a super fan as a kid and had great experiences like this as an adult. Don’t miss Bill’s new book. I’m writing this just after coming […]

WordPress for writers

I posted this on Threads, and thought it should also be on my blog. :-)

I don't want to be critical of anyone in the WordPress world, there's already a lot of that going around. I want to be off on the side, seeing the immense value of the platform, and things we can do with it that aren't possible any other way.

Toward that end, I want to say -- for a product that is so incredibly useful for writers, not much attention has been paid to how writers work. We can do a lot better, imho.

Again, not meant to be in any way personal. It's just the way it happened.

In addition to a $20 per month ChatGPT account, I also have a full Gemini account because I bought a snazzy new Pixel 9 Pro which comes with one year of Gemini included. So far that's just meant that I get pop up dialogs all over the place telling me I can use Gemini with Gmail, Google Drive and whatever else. Honestly it's just annoying. I do not want these apps to do my writing for me. Please. That imho is not a valuable use of AI. I can write for myself thank you very much.

After his death at 100 on Sunday, the news has been full of talk about Jimmy Carter. It's not polite to say it's exhausting and boring, and seems pointless. Then I happened to hear Jimmy Carter himself, on the latest episode of the Fresh Air podcast, and that was fantastic and totally worthwhile. It had been a long time since I listened to him, and I've grown a lot since then. Listen to the person, much more interesting than people talking about the person.

Micro.one will not have source feeds

Off and on for years I had been trying to figure out what a more slimmed down version of Micro.blog would look like. Maybe text-only blog posts, no photos? Maybe only short posts, or only long-form posts? Maybe some limit with podcasting? But taking away certain features und...

Braintrust query: I'm kind of stuck with my little feed reader in Bluesky. It works, but a few hours into it, at 10PM last night, we start getting rate-limit errors from bluesky. If it really is a rate limit, shouldn't reset after a while?

Having fun this morning working on a couple animated GIFs for the Micro.one website. Using Gifox for the basics, which I really like so far. Simple, clean design. And Acorn 8 can now edit animated GIFs as layers, great for quick resizing or edits.
