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

New #blog post! I collected together a bunch of resources and techniques that I used to study #Japanese! If you've ever wanted to start learning on your own, here are some recs!

Ich hab gestern übrigens ein kleines bisschen was gebloggt… über "#KI", nicht komponierte Soundtracks, rap-begeisterte Schulklassen… und vor allem über #Künstler und künstlerische Zusammenarbeit im Fediverse:

New blog post:
Testing BSSG - the Bash Static Site Generator

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.
Help support the regrowth of personal websites. Consider adding my feed to your aggregator or email subscribe directly from the blog.
In return, I promise not to become a neuro-sparse psychopathic plutocrat.
Just stop tweeting. #Blogging
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... 😉
We're #live #blogging from #MakerFaire #Rome! follow along:

#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.

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:

I wrote about how social media habits make it hard to write a good opening and how a BBC4 radio program helped me overcome the urge to waffle.
Neither waffle nor a cold open: In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg is my model for topic introductions

Hi. I'm terrified.
I've been trying to make my own space on the web for years. And I've been stuck. Badly.
But today is my birthday. And I refuse to let another year pass without putting something—anything—out there.
So here it is in all its messy glory. My first post on my barely-there #website: https://fromemily.com/hi-im-terrified/
It's not great. But it's okay...enough.
And I hope it means something to someone.

PSA for people with #Wordpress blogs: do you know that you can turn off comments on old posts?
In the last few months I have noticed a significant uptick in spammy comments on my Wordpress blogs (I have 4).
Well there is a way to remedy all that: you can simply turn off comments on old blog posts by going to:
Settings -> Discussion -> and checking "Automatically close comments on old posts"
(You can even determine the "oldness" of posts, for example, older than 7 days, 14 days... anything you'd like)
Enabling this made all the difference for me. I could not recommend it more.
End of my PSA 🤗
Have a great day everyone!
