Haven't moved to a cabin in the woods, but I did try standing up a Gemini server. Standard practice is that I will forget about this in a week and it will go offline in a month.
A nice thing about the Gemini text format is that I could see using it for notes and little mini-blog posts, since it's a not-quite-Markdown text format and libraries for rendering as HTML already exist
Sometimes I think I should revive my ActivityPub bots
@torgo Web 3.0 is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Web 3.0 is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell bad.
Catsby knocked over a CRT monitor in my office today. Fell about 6 feet. Monitor seems okay except for a broken control panel cover. But between the fall, the crash, and my surprised/angry yelp, Catsby disappeared himself for about 90 minutes.
I managed to find him burrowed into the back of a closed closet I didn't even think he could access. Must have squeezed under the door and pushed back through all the clothes.
He's a very skittish cat, literally lived under a 4" entertainment center shelf in the attic for a week when we first adopted him almost 10 years ago. He's opened up as a goofy floppy guy, but sometimes he can snap back to that scared habit and I feel like I have to find him because he won't come out for food
Now he's hanging out under the couch, which is a bit of a more normal hideout. He got lots of treats and went back to flopping and rolling and purring. So 😌
A thing that has taken me a long time to recognize in myself is that Rube Goldberg machines produce very pleasant clever feelings in my brainmeats but it's a trap to interpret those feelings as an affirmation that any such machine is the appropriate solution to a problem.
@hypolite Yeah, but I mean I wouldn't run a government or an economy on it
