self-hosting musings.
I've been helping a friend with some admin things for their website, like creating automations to do things like post to both Discord and the fediverse when updates are made.
the last blackberry.
Well, one of them, anyway, I think the Evolve was the only one released after. I charged up my old BlackBerry Key2 LE and threw the sim for a prepaid service I'm testing into it.
adventures in nail art.
Just under a year ago, a friend got me into press on nails. I had acrylic for years up until covid-19 began, and then once it grew out/came off, I was doing gel polish at home.
i missed making a january post.
I was doing so well posting at least once a month and 2024 started off with a fail. Oops. I don't have anything to talk about but I wanted to get a post in before February comes and goes too.
an ode to robert johnson.
Robert Johnson is absolutely fascinating, and the lore around him only adds to that fascination. He is one of The Greats™, but wasn't always considered so.
"the thin man" appreciation post.
The Thin Man (1934) is the film adaption of a novel by Dashiell Hammett. I haven't read the book (shame, I know) but absolutely love the film.
it has been a very long time.
I can't believe I let 3 months pass by without posting anything. I had initially decided I'd wait til I was ready to do the next album recap post before posting anything else, but it just fell by the wayside after a couple of weeks.
top 50 albums recap: 40 through 31.
Another 10 down, and nearly halfway through the list! This round was a bit like the last; some very good, some not very good.
