It's not working that well, because after the excitement of Mastodon and the feeling of there being other people interacting with my posts, a boring old site like this doesn't really feel that great. It'd be nice to get beyond that feeling though, because the downside of the excitement of someone reposti..." current

It's not such a bad site! It was my first big PHP project, and I think I did okay. It didn't live that long, I guess, but was there for a few years. It makes me want to work on Twyne again, and build thin..." current

But I still haven't found a feed reader with some sort of "one click re-publish". It's sort of tricky to do, because of the copyright issues of reposting a whole post on a separate site, but I think it can be figured out, but it seems strange that s..." current

It doesn't happen all that often, because generally writing code requires one to know what to work on, and ''that'' feels like a hard problem. But when it's obvious what to work on, and the work is to just figure o..." current

Now I can't even write that sentence, without feeling like it'll be taken wrongly. Actually, that's probably bullshit: I've never felt particularly comfortable online, not within discussions and things. I did used to post on this blog with more candour, because I was writing about the things I did elsewhere (thin..." current

Of course, it's normally not quite that easy, but I feel like I'm reasonably close to that state most of the time. The main trouble is that testing the restore takes quite a bit of time, and so I don't do it very often. It should be a matter of booting from a new Kubun..." current
