Is the Bluesky-Shine Wearing Off Already?Like I do, I’ve been semi-tracking and participating in the boom of the Bluesky social network, even though it’s not decentralized, currently, in any meaningful way. In my own experience, I’m having a hard time finding “my people.” I don’t even know if I have a “my people” anymore. But,...

Load Up the Gram, and Download It!Like an absolute madman, I slapped together a little Linux Python app for targeting an Instagram profile, and then downloading its entire contents. After much fussing with the unintuitive Github, and figuring out Twine, I uploaded it directly into the fully public system where anyone can download and use it....

Another Test PostTrying to figure out if my scripts are broken, or if post at exactly midnight two times in a row is why my RSS Python scripts aren’t pushing my newest posts to Bluesky, Tumblr, and Discord. Let’s see …

Do You like Orgy?In continuing a trend of visiting teenage me from 1999 and onward, I’m revisiting one of my favorite bands. Of course, I was into Korn, and Nine Inch Nails, and Sonic Mayhem, and TOOL, but then there was Orgy. And in that respect, I’m no longer afraid to say that...

Digging Up the Distant Internet-PastLike you do, I was digging around the WayBackMachine, trying desperately to recall the names of my old Geocities pages … much to no avail. But, there is one page I know the name of, that is at least partially archived, and I visit it every once in a while....

Make Some Noise (on Bluesky)In my efforts to continually preserve the weird things that I do, and have been doing, and/or am also learning to do, I setup a Python noise generation script, that’s completely procedural (like the other ones), and plopped it onto a Bluesky account. Make some noise! Procedurally generated by Python!...

I Need Random Quotes, and I Need Them NowAnother little update before I call it a night and do something to rest my brain. I put together a random quote display thing for the top of my website here.

Expanding on the Reasons People Reject MastodonI feel like I’ve explored this topic before, but it keeps coming up on my timeline. Specifically, on the timeline of my Bluesky alt account that I’ve got setup for the off-chance, or the just-in-case situation, where I can no longer exist on my personal Mastodon instance (I love my...

Doing More Useful AutomationIn more themes around developing automation for my daily internet-life, I decided to make even more little features for my website. Have you ever visited a webpage and thought to yourself, “Man, I wish there was like, a huge mountain of data and pictures for me to stare it!” Well,...

A Tag Generator for Jekyll, Because My Fingers HurtI was trying to think of something new to do with my website while I sip a very large beverage this evening, heading into another day off. And I thought, “You know, I hate how I have to manually create new pages for every tag I put on a post....
