New blog post! Random brain dump!
Some Thoughts and Things - Cool As Heck
I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 4: Mycophobia's Web Site https://mycophobia.org/
Just jumped off the default server, and am liking it here more already!
I'm a Product Designer focusing on being more active on my blog, usually posting about tech, design, and whatever else comes to mind.
Here's in an depth guide on how I used automation to grow an Instagram account to 100k+ while ignoring it completely.

One of my goals this years is to blog more, which has made me think about the process of choosing what to write about.
I'm trying to keep it simple, so this framework of writing about Technology, Stories and Thoughts should be able to capture everything.

Today was a good day. I wrote two blog posts (one for #IndieWeb carnival and one as an invited guest writer) and rewrote two messy scripts to be more like CLI tools with proper interface and better documentation.
When considering modern web development, I keep these two images in mind.
The factory image captures how many devs approach creating websites: constructing an enormous, gleaming, automated system that can produce complex artifacts on a massive scale.
In contrast, an individual artisan working in a studio directly creates something simple but useful using their own hands and understandable tools. To me this second image captures the #smallweb / #indieweb spirit.
A final word on blogs before we return to our regularly scheduled programming

Didn’t realize until reading this blog post from the Fediverse Report that much of the new migration to Bluesky is from Japan. Seems significant as Twitter X was always popular in Japan.
Decided to join this month's Indieweb Carnival and post about Digital Relationships. Thanks to Manu for hosting this month's theme!

Quick Q about Bridgy for the #indieweb community: Can I use Bridgy to monitor “the fediverse” (or just a single Mastodon instance?) for mentions/interactions of my blog posts, and feed it as webmentions to my WP blog?
I’m a little confused about the functionality and options, given I’m already using the ActivityPub plugin to federate my content.
Thanks to @adele ¹, I finally found the perfect minamilist #hugo theme ² to use as a base for a new custom theme!
Too bad I found it right after I edited my all theme for the #indieweb microformat 2 weeks ago…
Guess, I'm making a minimal #indieweb ready version of the smol hugo theme now :]

Expanding on some recent posts on Mastodon, I wrote my entry for this month's IndieWeb Carnival (topic: Digital Relationships).
TL;DR — Words are crucial to build a sense of online community, however many of us have been using them straight out of a soulless corporate lingo in order to sell ourselves as a product.

I've spent the last couple of days working on this, and I’ve rejigged it to the best of my liking. For the first time since I re-opened my blog, I’m quite happy with how everything is set up.
Next undertaking is to nail down categorisation (tags included) and properly document it for future reference..! #indieweb #SmallWeb #blogging #blogs
