Anyway, I’ve been thinking about how much I want to be microblogging, and have decided “less for now”, obviously. I hope you’re well.

More and more I find myself censoring myself here, mostly because things I would say involve other people who haven’t consented to being discussed. Sometimes it’s for privacy; sometimes it’s that plus a fear of being targeted by someone or something in this curdled version of the internet that we’ve built.

On the plus side, I did fix the Cache-Control HTTP header for the site.

Not like I don’t have enough things to do, but I’m finally getting the itch to catch up on my commonplace book links. It’s been [checking calendar] over a year and a half since I last posted, and a lot has happened.

I have a handful of pile.org posts cooking: one perhaps-intemperate one about AI training, and one about coffee which has somehow become three. We’ll see if I end up posting any of them.

Fixed a few lingering and/or latent bugs on this here microblog, including the nagging time zone abbreviation bug.
