Gus Mueller:

To me, Objective-C has always felt expressive and capable, doubly so when I first started using it.

What people say they are

“How’s your folk fest?” people ask each other on the street. Nobody doesn’t know what you mean. Community is a word that gets thrown around a lot. It doesn’t bother me. Community means lots of things. They can be small or big, tight or loose, in person or digital, and live on a million other […]

Finished upgrading a server. Some things should be faster! (And some won’t be.) I’ll continue to look for places to optimize.

I'm working on a baseline theme for WordLand-authored sites. I want to show people how to get a good result with WordLand, even if they have plenty of experience with WordPress, but especially if they don't. I want people to look at a user's site and think "Hey I want one of those!" Not too fancy, just get out of the way and let the writer's writing stand out and look great. This is a replay of the work we did on Manila and then Radio. I hope we're able to start a designer community as vibrant and productive as the one we had a few years ago.

Linode: $288
Hetzner: $110

This is a massive difference. Is Linode that much better? I feel like a fool for paying this.

Micro.blog for Mac continues to improve. Just released version 3.5. A new feature I like in this release: paste a photo from the clipboard directly into the Uploads section to upload it.

Also added a Preview button. I use this with command-shift-P but I’m sure some people didn’t know it was there.
