Public Service Announcement: Pitchers and catchers report today. Spring has begun!
I need to move my wiki to a new server in order to upgrade the wiki software it runs on to the latest version. The root cause for the need to migrate was my decision to build the server it runs on as a 32-bit virtual machine running Ubuntu, which I did because it that virtual machine only has 1 GB of RAM. The latest version of wiki requires Nodejs 10.x or later and I can only install Nodejs 8.x or older on the server because it is 32-bit. I am building a plan as the process to move the content might be complicated.
As a french horn player I am mildly offended that Yanni plays the horn on a keyboard on Santorini.
A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.
You will find many details about the components that make up a weblog, but to me the keys are chronology, usually reverse meaning most recent at the top of the page, voice, generally meaning written by a person, and brevity. The last is not something many consider but I think that good weblog posts are no more than three paragraphs long and I think there is a difference between an essay or a story and a weblog post. A story always has a title, a weblog post may or may not not have a title, and in fact most posts do not have a title.
What became confusing is when people and companies used weblog platforms as content management platforms to create and maintain web sites of an form and fashion and thus if a site were published by Wordpress it automatically was called a blog.
We are staying over there…

Can’t re-share a picture uploaded to micro.blog via the app. Went in to the web site and when I tap Copy HTML it never actually gets to three iOS clipboard.

Just discovered that my Apple TV was on all night and left on it’s “home screen” showing me what to watch next and burned through 235 GB of data! That option has got to be killed in the era of Comcast Internet data caps! Unplugged the Apple TV for now.

James Carville is “scared to death” about whether Sanders and others can beat Trump - Vox
James Carville: “Look, Bernie Sanders isn’t a Democrat. He’s never been a Democrat. He’s an ideologue. And I’ve been clear about this: If Bernie is the nominee, I’ll vote for him. No question. I’ll take an ideological fanatic over a career criminal any day. But he’s not a Democrat.”
PSA. Pitchers and catchers report in one week.
Murkowski throws stones, demonstrating she is part of the problem.
The past weekend an update to Little Outliner was made available and with that I learned about a status page generator feature of it that I thought I would try. I guess it is equivalent to a Now page that some folks have, click here to see it.
My favs were the Hyundai Boston and the Jeep groundhog commercials.
+1 to Jeep for the groundhog commercial on the rodent’s day. (And you can never go wrong with Bill Murray in a commercial)
The best Super Bowl half time show was in Miami.
Happy groundhog day. The sun is shining 😎
