I'm looking into microblog.pub ( @dev ) again. It just seems so close to where I want to end up. I want my website to also be my front-end to the . Microblog.pub basically is that, but there's no real way to add static pages just yet.

I've been playing around with customizing templates and CSS to get the site looking similar to my current home page, and it's working well so far.

On the other hand, I'm liking the capabilities of and I'm wondering if I can just build a front-end along the same lines as , but using friendica APIs as a back end 🤔

I might also look into Friendica themes and build a custom website out of that?

I don't know. Too many options.

Does anyone remember forum ?
They were little 300px x 19px images you would stack in your forum profile signature. Sort of avatar-adjacent.
I just dug up a bunch I created years ago, and it's brought back some fond memories...

I found the oldest blog I can remember writing in.
On its about page, it says this:

I’ve tried making blogs before, but as with most things I’ve done I made a few posts and then was done with them.


There are older ones? Where have they gone?

@death.au @death.au
I also went searching through really old Facebook for clues. It looks like a lot of content has gone missing over the years. I'm seeing half-conversations without context and it's weird.

Ooh, I found an older one! It says this:

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on a blog. So I decided to make a new one. The others all have too much crap I don’t really want to read again.


🤦

I tried to write a post/article today about a CSS-only theme toggle I made for my website. But rather than draft it in Obsidian like usual, I wrote it directly in Friendica. Then I tried to attach an image and the whole tab locked up and I lost the lot.
Very disheartening.
Then I wondered why I'm posting "articles" here when I have my own website. So now I'm finding my old attempts at blogs and newsletters and translating them to Markdown so I can host them all on my website...

A realisation about saving things ‘for later’.

In this case it’s bookmarks related to web design. Specifically, CSS styles for printing things. I found this wonderful thing.

pagedjs.org

So let’s say I just add that as a bookmark. Which I did.

Now what?

At what point does future me think, oh, that lovely thing about printing and CSS, that’s right, I saved that bookmark. I’ll go and look at that now.

@jonah You mention Arc is the only browser you know of with multi-account-container-like features (Apart from Firefox). I'd recommend you look into wavebox.io and ghostbrowser.com/

Because my OBTF was so ramble-y, I'm going to accept that and even lean into it on my index cards. Then, I'm going to really try and implement a daily review routine, where I skim my index cards at the end of the day, pull out, digitise and re-word any important notes and write myself a special tomorrow index which lists what I need to be doing tomorrow.
I don't know how well it's going to work, or how well I will stick to it, but I have the stack of cards now, so here I go.
@death.au @death.au
My new idea for journaling and note taking is old news to most: Index cards!
I bought myself a stack of double-sided, lined index cards from Officeworks, and I plan to try and take small breaks throughout my day and just write what's going on in my head.
In the past, I've been somewhat resistant to pen-and-paper journaling, because I have difficulty trusting that as a storage medium, and digitising is a pain.
But this time I plan to try a different approach.
@death.au @death.au
Small update on my experiment:
It didn't really go so well. I did use it a little bit, but it was less "bullet journal" and more "rambling mess".
Turns out, when I write, I like to keep writing.
But, a new approach came to mind, this time without even reading something online. And I kind of feel like if that's what my brain wants to do, then I should probably give it a red hot go...
