Finished re-listening to The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson this afternoon. I love reading his books, but I also especially enjoy the audiobook narration by Michael Kramer!

Step two of setting up POSSE-style microblogging… connect status updates to Mastodon via EchoFeed. Check, Check, is this thing on?

Assuming everything is hooked up right, thanks to EchoFeed, I should now have cross-posting from my website to BlueSky working… This marks my first attempt at POSSE, posting updates to my own site, and syndicating to other platforms.

Sometimes it’s really hard for me to gauge if I’ve spent a weekend (or just a day off) “well”. In the back of my mind are always the innumerable projects (both personal and professional) that I could be working on, and when I don’t make noticeable progress on one or more of them, it’s easy to feel as though I’ve failed, even though I know that perspective is skewed…

I’ve commented on this to coworkers before, but I’ve once again found a case where my past self spent a little extra time designing an abstraction that is allowing my current self to very quickly and easily make some software changes to support a new hardware revision. Thanks, younger Justin! 🎉

It’s still very much a work in progress, but I’ve completed the first major change to my website since 2020! The work included migrating to a new theme (which I promptly forked to add changes to), adding a new content type (which I hope to eventually have auto-post to Mastodon), and doing a substantial cleanup of posts, folder structures, etc.
