It happened again: scope creep. When I re-started regularly blogging, I specifically said I would avoid the trap of only writing serious and thoughtful posts. In my latest post, I redeclare my commitment to quantity over quality, and hit the

Testing BSSG - the Bash Static Site Generator

New post!
What if #AOL still existed? What if the telecommunications act of 1996 never passed? These are questions I answer while having a terrible cold.
You've been warned.
Thanks to @vincentritter for kindly offering me early access to his cool new blog platform #Scribbles. It's really nice. I'm so sorry this is my debut post.

A new blog post about my recent #paragliding trip to #Colombia. It was supposed to be a quick, fun post with a few photos... If nothing else, skip to the end.

If you’d like to help choose what will be listed on the archive of selected blog posts once Bix Dot Blog comes down, you can see the current list here.
My intention is to have the blog offline before the end of the month, allowing me to cancel my DigitalOcean.
Cool blogroll project courtesy of @davew. I like that it sorts based on recent posts, and shows a preview of those posts inline.

A cat enters the scene
I adopted a cat this week, somewhat impulsively. Although I’ve always wanted one, this is my first cat.

Just stop tweeting. #Blogging
Sorry I'm SO late with this! This is the first recap post I've written in years. It's not my best; hopefully, I'll get better.
Just a quick Side Note:
I will scale down my Activities on Mastodon from now on, will focus my Attention and Time elsewhere in the digital Realm.
There will be still Posts and Interactions be published, like from my Blog automatically distributed into the Fediverse.
Micro-Blogging on Mastodon isn't what i imagined it to be or what i need in this Form, after trying it out for a while. 🤔
So long... 😉

#Blogging is the art of watching that post you wrote in like two hours about washing your shark plush last year overshadowing everything else you will ever write.

Avast, ye nerds!
I have RPG blogs to recommend:
https://ttrpgs.com/post/rss_highlights/
But some people don't know how awesome RSS is, so I've taken the evening to find the best RSS reader with a GUI which also works with YouTube, and make a guide:
https://splint.rs/posts/how_to_rss
Send me RPG blog recommendations, and I'll add them to the list.
Okay really quick and rough version, but a good start. This is my progress on my Fediverse for Photographers blog.
Any input and additions appreciated! I still have more to add from the suggestions provided the other day.

Okay, I did the thing @Brilliantcrank. And many thanks to @mako, @Luke, @nazhamid and others for their support.
There's likely stuff that's broken, as it's my first blog and Ghost site. Be gentle. 😜
Tem post novo na Estante!
Quase oito anos atrás eu escrevi um post falando sobre a minha experiência enquanto assinante de clubes de livros.
De lá pra cá muita coisa aconteceu, dentre elas estão mudanças ou encerramento das atividades de vários clubes. Diante disso, resolvi fazer uma lista atualizada com algumas das opções de assinatura atualmente disponíveis.

I am downright delighted to announce that my latest book, YOU DESERVE A TECH UNION, has a brand new look. I really love it, and I hope you do too.
Here’s a look at what’s changed and—maybe more importantly—what’s stayed the same:
