For all the joy of the , and the pleasure of civil discourse, I am becoming incredibly confused by aspects of micro.blog. There’s the question of titleless posts, of which is this is one as an experiment, versus status updates. There are posts that appear to be contributions to an interesting conversation but aren’t because they have been cross-posted automatically from elsewhere. And there is the lack of a scroll back, which means that as I follow more people and choose not to check in the middle of my night, stuff vanishes irretrievably from my timeline.

There are also issues with Known that are nothing to do with micro.blog.

None of this is insurmountable. For me, though, it does add friction.

Drawing a perfectly straight line from The Crown s02e05 (Lord Altrincham) to It’s A Royal Knockout and beyond.

Fascinating post from Jon Udell about bookmarking and sharing audio sound-bites. I hope to be able to get to grips with the details and maybe even get to the point of being able to do the same, once the New Year clean-up is over.

I’m not sure I want links to open in micro.app. There doesn't seem to be a setting to change that behaviour.

Hey @jack: the link to caption all of my photos at [Why My Photos Remain on My Hard Drive](https://www.baty.net/2017/why-my-photos-remain-on-my-hard-drive/) is broken. Probably because it may be relative. Just chasing up on @bsag's recommendations.

I don't really understand any of the details of how people install, use and monitor personal renewable energy resources, but I love following along with Chris Neale's efforts. I'd really like to read a comprehensive, but low-level, account of the whole story, even though there is currently no chance I could do anything similar myself.

Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon Prime) is really rather fun, based on the one episode we have watched.
