I know. This is a wordpress site. And I know I said I was staying away from it for reasons. But it Blaugust and i not ready to pelican my way through the month cos reasons. 1 and so here we are and i think i am mostly ready to get blaugusting… how bout you?
i am not under the impression that i will earn any awards; that’s not what i am aiming for here. i think i used to be less scattered when i was blogging years ago. it takes a certain amount of focus to get a blog post out… and if you’ve been around here or any time at all, you’ll notice i sound like a …. squirrel!
so … this is twofold:
- getting back into blogging by going back to old and familiar and easy
- trying to corral my brain so that it is less scatterd – hopefully i’ll get more done.
The other thing i’ve been thinking about lately is webrings. if you’ve been on the interwebs for a minute like me, you know that’s how we built community in the days before corporate social media. some of my dearest friends i found through webrings. i miss those days. those days no one was collecting our info in a central repository and becoming billionaires off our information and we weren’t inundated with advertisements at every turn.
side note? every time i leave the house i am reminded just how bad it is out there outside my pihole i keep meaning to setup my vpn again and i keep forgetting… remember what i said about being scattered?
anyhow … now that i’ve gotten myself mostly situated, i am going to clean up dog puke and get some lunch (assuming my stomach allows me to) and rest.
more tomorrow!
- plus, can’t deny the very real tech boner i get from mucking about on the command line. since i was learning about docker swarm and sort of playing around with stuff, i figured … why not? ↩︎
