a little statistics

@jorty @cwebber what part of central MA, roughly? I'm a bit east of Worcester.

@cwebber oh oh oh and also go to Shelburne Falls sometime and walk across the bridge of flowers. it is really nice.

@cwebber lots of typos on that one, but I think you understand it ;)

@cwebber when you are settled and ready to explored the area a bit. I highly recommend Amherst, North Hampton, and (further out) North Adams.

despite being a punk band we liked to occasionally do an 80s pop/rock cover that had synth in it so our friend could join us.

a friend found a video from 2012 of my old band covering Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford (with that friend making a guest appearance on the synth) and it's just the best nostalgia feeling ever watching it.

thinking about becoming a member of Democratic Socialists of America

Fuck Anthony Kennedy.

That's all the civility you'll get from me.

@cwebber playing drums helps get the physical rage out, but I'm still mad as hell and don't know what to do about it since all of my elected representation is completely on my side yet still incapable of stopping this freefall into conservative christian totalitarianism.

also I'm in Northborough and would love to meet up and hack before the world ends.

@cwebber I feel like I've been in a state of constant stifled rage for days.

just found a drumeo video where they brought in the drummer from Dillinger Escape Plan. he's insane so it's cool to see him play a DEP song with no vocals and the rest of the music in the background.

federated web app idea: a garden journaling site where you make a map of the land/porch/windowsill you use and post events attached to the physical space they happened in:
"irises have bloomed in the bed next to the pond"
"planted radish seeds in the vegetable bed"
"pruned apple tree in the orchard"
"started tomato seeds under grow light"
gardeners could follow each other and get inspired/learn, and the app could show you helpful historical data ("last year you sowed radishes on May 1st")

this is the recipe I followed and it was good. I'd back off on the salt a bit next time, though. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2017/05/22/easy-homemade-strawberry-shortcake/

SLACK IS DOWN RUN FOR COVER AAAAHHHHH

Homemade biscuits, whipped cream, and homegrown strawberries!

@polymerwitch I don't do this currently but I used to use a dynamic dns provider, which requires a client installed on your home network that can notify the service when your ip changes. that worked pretty well and I hosted a number of things that way.

@Gargron I don't really see the advantage of it vs. something digital.

the general rule seems to be that lots of little independent pieces ultimately scales better than a few giant pieces, even though it's harder to implement (at first).
