I used Mastofeed to put my art mastodon feed on my web site, which is sweet. Sadly, it adds 3 seconds of load time back to the site. We'll see about that.

How do you people ever focus on anything on a computer that has internet and settings to play with? I seem to only be able to write anything with either a pen and paper or the alphasmart keyboard thingy that doesn't do anything but type words. I'm just too scatterbrained otherwise.

Removing an unnecessary instagram photo display widget from my web site made my page load time go from 15 seconds to 1.6 seconds. Dang. That was refreshing.

Finally fixed this deeply stupid problem. After tech support fails with my web host and isp, turns out that changing the MAC address deep in the router settings solved it. Guess it got blocked somehow? No idea. At least it works again. Whew.

There should be a special digital punching bag or something to release aggression while talking to tech support that doesn't know that linux is an operating system and doesn't help with the actual problem.

Somehow my own website is blocked on my network. I can't figure out why or how and it's making me crazy. I cleared the cache, and refreshed the DNS and whatnot. Blar. Just whining here.

My husband got us Magic the Gathering play mats, but now I'm just using mine as a mouse pad.

RSS Readers are the best.

In case you wondered what I thought about that.

I deleted my github account. It didn't have much on it, but I'm cranky about companies consolidating and gobbling each other up into one giant frankenmegacorp.

I want the internet to be a network of villages with weird yurts and converted school buses, not a few highrises each with a zillion sterile apartments. It's a silly metaphor, but you know what I mean.

Never was a Unity fan, but I actually kind of love the Mutiny layout in Ubuntu Mate.

It is deeply bogus that most of all savings accounts earn less than inflation, so actually lose value over time. What is this nonsense? Guess we should be investing in beanie babies or star wars figurines or something. (Just kidding. Mostly.)

I'm digging into building static web sites with Jekyll. I started with hand coding web sites in simple html, and then used wordpress for years. I'm pretty excited about a groovy hybrid of the two.

Ogling used system 76 laptops on ebay this morning... So close, yet so not in the budget quite yet.
