Interesting read about Reader — I miss Reader.
Google killed Reader in 2013, shutting down its RSS reader after years of neglect. Now, the team that built it reflects on what they made and how the web has changed in the decade since.
There's nothing quite like a small #earthquake to see who in #Melbourne is awake at this time :) #NightOwls #MyPeople #community
My current keyboard setup:
- keyboard: Owlab Spring Black Chroma
- keycaps: Osume’s Winterglow Eve
- switches: Gateron Ink Black v2 (a little on the heavy side for me, but hopefully I would develop some finger muscles or just get used to it)
- stabilisers: TX Stabilisers (rev. 3)
- wrist rest: generic one from Amazon
- deskmat: IV Works’ Ariandel Deskmat
Ahh… another #earthquake #melbourne (Australia, since someone asked last time)

I recently lamented about how few options there are for Micropub posting on iOS now that Indigenous was pulled from the app store. I had a hunch that the Shortcuts app could be a solution since Micropub takes pretty simple cURL requests, and after some testing to figure it out I put together a set o...
Going to try out this shortcuts – to post to WordPress using Shortcuts/Micropub

2023 (and beyond) Reading List
For a while, I attempted to track my reading on this website as part of my experiment with Indieweb technology.
I have concluded that it was just too much trouble for too little gain. There are many tools out there that do a better job of this, and not all of them are terrible.
After a little bit of dabbling around, I have landed on LibraryThing as my online catalogue of books. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now but have only recently settled on a consistent logging habit.
LibraryThing might not look as pretty as Goodreads, but it has some pretty nice customisation options. There are a lot of things you can do to organise your books – perfect for the nerds who like to fiddle.
And there’s even a dashboard showing a breakdown of your library: by publication date, by genre, rating, author’s gender – it even shows a breakdown by whether the authors are dead or alive.
So the long and short of it is that I will be doing most of my book ratings and cataloguing over on LibraryThing now, and you can find my library here.
