This is the second daily post I've generated using Tinderbox. It is such a terrible but compelling thing to do. I should stop now.
When I become disenchanted with social media, I withdraw into posting places that don't "go anywhere". For example, the post-text part of journal entries are not included in the RSS feed, so it's like private notes to myself, even though they are technically public. Same with the wiki. Unless explicitly tagged as "Feed", wiki entries aren't sent anywhere. It's just me putting words on a website. Some days that's all I want.
Upgraded Kirby to 4.1.0. No noticeable side effects.
I was a bit crabby earlier, but it has turned into an absolutely gorgeous sunny day around here so that mood was unsustainable.

There's this pervasive sense of smugness from people who implicitly present themselves as superior because of the people and things they disapprove of. It's gross. You're not.

I was walking the dog just now thinking about how hard it is to publish things on the internet while avoiding the urge to garner as much attention as possible. Then I got home to this: RSS readers make me want to jump into a vat of acid! and I guess it's hard for Keenan, too. (Good post, though)

All of the options are too many options
Pulling up a chair at the computer this morning, I looked at all of the wonderful blogging options available to me and decided there are too many of them. Now what?
I love this stuff. My favorite pastime is to play with different ways of making words show up on the internet. Sometimes, today for example, I just want their to be One True Way™. I want to know where to go to post something. I want to know how to do it. I want to know what to change if I don't like something.
This week has been an experiment in using everything all the time. It has been a blast, but I'm exhausted.
So for the rest of the day I think I'll close everything but the Kirby control panel and reduce my options to one.
