Short-form notes, aggregated by day. I first ran this format in 1999, posting from a BlackBerry 950 to a web page long before blogs and Twitter. No likes or follows, it was just me. I brought it back.

18:34 @show_bits is my new hero ·14:25 Also juicy - Chartbrew - open source reporting platform ·12:32 Ooohh… super juicy. Opensource Meshtastic base station. ·12:28 “Different Seasons” blacklisted in Utah schools. King tweets “What’s wrong with these people” and notes that he hears from teenagers all the time saying “I wasn’t a reader until I picked up this book”. Certainly was a big one for me. ·10:25 nifty! that works really well. exposing drafts in frontmatter, and then done mucking about with code for the day. IRL awaits!·09:50 integrating the hardcover API.·09:39 way easier in 2026 than it was in 1999. will write up a post about how this works.·09:27 lots of random thoughts. not a lot of places to offload. until now.·08:27 hello?
