Am wondering if wanting to have separate Micro.blog accounts for my status updates (Twitter) and my photos (Instagram) is the wrong way to go about it. I really want to keep them separate but is that just from force of habit?

There has to be a killer thesis on Doraemon and the rise of consumer culture in postwar Japan.
Netgear’s routers use MD5-signed certificates for the OpenVPN networks they host. OpenVPN’s iOS and Android clients warn that these will no longer be supported after April but Netgear has yet to fix this. Fortunately, there is a way to do it yourself (at least on the R7000).
So I’ve been generating a 4096-bit prime for more than an hour.
After listening to @gruber and @marco discuss to do apps, I’ve decided to try out Things. Since free time is largely restricted, I want to have an app (with Siri integration) where I keep to do items for doing on my commute.
The lyric ‘as the second hand unwinds’ is one of my all-time favourites.
Adding a navigable cursor to blessed’s text inputs is melting my brain.
About a week ago, I posted on Micro.blog about how much I loved my BeatsX. Here are some more detailed thoughts.
There was a period in the 2000s where I would diligently edit the metadata of any song to move ‘(feat.
‘Goldman Sachs’ is one of those names that if it were the name of a fictitious bank you’d say is a little too on the nose.
For reasons I can’t explain, I’ve decided to patch Blessed to allow cursor key navigation in text areas. I’ve got rudimentary left/right navigation working.
I don’t know if the RapGenius guys ever built a viable business but I’m going to be sad if/when they need to fold. ‘See (C) on both sides like Chanel’? Of course!
Good piece by @joec about ‘smart’ speakers but I wanted to answer a stray aside about the name of Google’s Assistant. (@gruber wondered the same thing.) It is Google Assistant. The complicating element is that it’s just ‘OK (or hey) Google’ to trigger it.
BeatsX earphones are terrific. I’m sad they don’t get the same love as AirPods. They’re like a special set of AirPods you don’t need to put in a case.
Frank Chimero wrote up a talk he’s given a couple of times about avoiding unnecessary complexity in web programming. One thing he doesn’t suggest is putting unobfuscated/unminified code on GitHub. I think that makes a nice compromise.
A couple of days ago I discovered there’s a guy on Twitter, @HowMichael, who has the same given name as me and uses virtually the same avatar image I do (a cropped profile from a Blur album cover). He’s a nice guy but I am extremely weirded out by this.
I’ve updated my personal home page with a new look. Got rid of the link to Twitter and replaced it with links to the content I have elsewhere on my domain.
Did you ever wonder why Japanese iPhones have an unmutable camera shutter? Did you know Japanese iPhones have an unmutable camera shutter? You do now!
Need to write a blog post about using Travis CI to generate a Jekyll site for hosting with GitHub Pages. There’s a lot of information out there but a great deal of it is either old or incomplete. Found it quite difficult to find a simple step by step guide.
Upgrade to Raspbian Stretch appears to have been a success!
