That Old Blog Code

In the image above the text field takes up 2/3 on the left and my meta fields take up 1/3 with date, author, tags, url and then a post type selection with reply, bookmark, and following.

Thanks to the amazing https://sonjabroda.com/ I worked through how I wanted to handle different post types in the Kirby UI panel.

Many people have started to use post type discovery rather than building templates for every different type of post types, but I don't have those skills.

I think I kind of came up with a hybrid solution. I will have three template, notes, photos, and articles. I will then add selection fields for different variables for post types.

So if I wanted to write a replu I could select note and then choose review in the Type selection menu.

Then using a bit of PHP I will transform the variable into u-in-reply-to and then echo the transformed variable into my note template.

I can then create other rules down the line to sort notes by replies. This will come in handy if I wanted to build a page of just replies.

“Yay, I’m in NYC! I’m going to get a great coffee and a bagel to start off my day just right.” *opens front door to an actual wall of water* *retreats slowly inside*
Coming to the conclusion that quantified self, including step / exercise tracking, is putting technology in the middle of my relationship with my own body, and it’s very likely healthier to learn to listen better to the signals it sends me.
I want to take notes by hand and on paper but have these digitized with no effort. Make me my reality someone: scientificamerican.com/article/a-lear… (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/H3mNZ)

Stuff, and things

Last night I had another mini-spiral, brought on by making a joke in someone’s chat that didn’t land at all well. Which set off a cascade of bad intrusive thoughts. But I’m over it now. I did decide from that to cut down on the spaces I’m chatting in. I’m spread too thin and need to focus my attentions on the things that are important to me, rather than the things that simply take up time. Today the Dove Self-Esteem Project posted another Steven Universe short, this one about social media, and it reminded me that I’m long-overdue for cleaning up my Twitter follows. Given that I have, um, rather a lot, it’ll take me a while to KonMarie my way through them, but I think it’ll be worth it. This also comes back to a lot of what I’m dissatisfied with in social media and modern communication these days. Everything’s about instantaneous updates and push notifications and micro-posts and conversations and so on. It’s a big reason why I’m not a fan of ActivityPub. It’s also the part of the IndieWeb focus that I’m less thrilled about (granted, IndieWeb is about a lot of things, and it’s not like I have to participate in every part to still make a meaningful impact). I keep saying how someday I’ll get around to writing a blog entry about impedance mismatches between what I like about blogging and the ActivityPub/Webmention/etc. world. This isn’t that entry. Anyway, this is the… third? I think? day of my nortriptyline reduction. Which is to say I’m still at 30mg. My doctor agrees that we should try something else. Gabapentin will probably be the next thing I try, since it’s something that a lot of my spoonie friends have said works well for them (with caveats). I probably won’t be starting on that until August, though; it’ll take me a few more weeks to taper off nortriptyline, and then I’ll be doing Song Fight! in Madison (and hopefully not being in complete agony between the travel and the playing guitar all weekend). Meanwhile I think the magnesium might be helping as well. Tonight I did practice a bunch of my Song Fight! material and actually managed to play for a decent amount of time without suddenly finding myself in agony. Which was a nice surprise. So I’m feeling a lot more confident in being able to play a full set in a month. And meanwhile I’m still doodling around with music for games and stuff. So maybe this is a good sign of things to come. I guess I’m feeling cautiously optimistic for now. Which is better than how I felt two days ago, I tell you what.
