@phessler Marburg, eh? I've been there twice, working with a linguistics professor at the University for an annual conference he runs each spring. I love that city.

So, the trailer for "Won't You Be My Neighbor" made me tear up a little bit.

Mr. Rogers was a /huge/ part of my childhood and is now a part of my own kids' life. I really hope this documentary either comes near me or is available online after the theater run.

@Gargron I always get headaches with an updated prescription for glasses because yes, you compensate for the problem. When it's fixed, it feels like a problem.

@jerry I used it for a _long_ time and then decided to give Jekyll a try wholesale. I learned a ton, but now, I'd like to move back over.

I may keep the published Jekyll site as an archive and use a .htaccess file to redirect to the correct URL so I don't have to re-import all of those posts. I need to do some digging on reverting back...

The only thing I'm not super excited about is maintaining site security.

It's hard to break into some HTML files.

So, I may roll back to WordPress on my blog. Jekyll is cool and I really like the static site aspect, but it's hindering my writing because of the process needed to add a post.

Self hosting WP is simple and encourages me to write. Jekyll has had the opposite effect.

I can still archive posts as plain HTML with a PHP/cron script, so I may go back to that mechanism.

@ajroach42 I'd read that wiki.

I might just use a web annotation bookmarklet called Hypothesis this year, instead of downloading and editing in Preview.

If they're old, scanned, articles (as PDF), I'll have to use some search kung fu to find open sourced copies that will support annotation, though.

Ok, I'm starting up coursework for a graduate class. I have a /lot/ of reading and I'm looking for a way to annotate these PDFs and then search them later by keyword.

Any tips? Working on macOS.

What's your favorite, lightweight email client on macOS? All I need is IMAP to sync to several Gmail accounts I'm responsible for.

@ignitionigel Ooo...I really like that notebook. I'm about halfway through a moleskine right now; I need to change notebooks because the paper in these bleed the ink quite easily.

Could the bosses of the world get together and agree that rainy days have business hours start at like, 10?

That would give us all time to drink coffee and read a book for a little bit.

Thanks.

I need to do better at setting up boilerplate project files so I don't repeat so much code by starting from scratch each time.

I'm super excited (and proud to be a part) that @fosstodon's community has pledged enough each month to keep servers running for @kev and @mike.

Thanks, both, for working to keep the lights on.

A friend just taught me how to ride a motorcycle.

I might have caught the bug.

This toy.
