Note to future self: to clean up single-use tags in Pinboard, go to “manage” under tags and then “used once”.

And good luck with keeping up.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. I tried a similar thing myself (3 podcasts a week) for a while, and used Huffduffer to make the feed, but came across too many walled gardens to keep bothering.

“Amazingly, the link still works” 

Two amazing things

1) In a piece looking back over 1000 of his linkblog posts, Charles Arthur finds it remarkable that a link from 2010 still works.

2) The piece seems to be on Medium and nowhere else.

I reckon the two observatiuons are linked (haha). Which makes me wonder whether to even share this link. Will it still work in 2028? Or would Charles be better of owning his stuff somewhere else?

I'm still getting spam through public comments. I divert the notifications to a special mailbox and keep on top of them, deleting anything I find, and, touch wood, it may be declining.

I'm instantly adding the -day-of-week code outlined here into my one-line-per-day journal of sorts.

Forewarned is forearmed; thanks.

Intersecting milk cartons is indeed cool, as Chris noted. Equally cool, maybe more so, is the Miuri fold, which I learned about in the Christmas Economist. https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2018/12/18/origami-spreads-its-wings

#Hashtags & HTML

1 min read

Once again, there is chatter about how @Withknown deals with hashtags and HTML I still believe that it often removes a hashtag from the content of an Instagram description, sent here by OwnYourGram. I'll test that in a moment. And there certainly were problems with certain characters in Titles and body. So this is a test of this <- and that.
