There is order in the universe. I know, because on the very day that I finally knuckled down and wrote a pathetic little spreadsheet to do some bread calculations for me, the Gods of Serendipity put in one of my RSS feeds, and my gob is smacked.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
Alas, the link to the "really powerful tools" for automation goes nowhere. Or rather, it returns me to the page it is on. @justinmduke
So good to be back home after a week away. I mean, I had a great time and all, but home is best.

@jeremycherfas Yes, yes and yes... I’m on my way home after working away too and can’t wait to be home.

@martinfeld Still peeved that it took me almost as long to travel the 35km from airport to home as it did the hundreds of km from airport to airport. But s'all good now.

@jeremycherfas Oh that’s infuriating!

Friends of the Fountain Pen: How do you cope with bottles of ink that are wide and shallow? Is a syringe the only option for making use of the remaining ink when the pen filler simply won't work?
Jeremy Cherfaspublished this
@jeremycherfas I personally use a syringe. I did see someone get ink out of an almost empty bottle, by tipping the bottle. Another option would be to transfer the ink to a smaller container, such as a sampler bottle

@klandwehr I can’t tip the bottle and operate the mechanism, so I think is going have to be the syringe. A large Eppendorf tube would be ideal.

@jeremycherfas I use the syringe all the time, it works best for me

I have never, for one second, regretted the money I spent on my chair more than 20 years ago. Not even when I had to have two technicians here to replace the seat. And now that the gas spring is leaking a bit, I might have to have them back. Truly, what's the point of a decent keyboard if you tie yourself in knots using it all day?
Waiting to hear Lawrence Lessing talk about the EU proposals and other stuff. A tick for the life list.
The rebirth of long dormant blogs is one of the great reasons to use a feed reader. There is absolutely no overhead.

@jeremycherfas Special joy when a blog reaches a significant anniversary, ten years or instance, when they give an update of their life changes. Much like an old friend.

Still trying to work out why a photo that includes a hashtag (from Instagram) fails to show as a photo on micro.blog, while a photo without any hashtags shows up just fine.
Anyone have a clue?

@jeremycherfas own your gram to Known, rss to here?
, Mar 13 2019 on micro.blog
@cn Yes. So need to examine the RSS in more detail and see whether it is Known or here that is doing the unnecessary. But that's a task for another day.
, Mar 13 2019 on micro.blog
@cn Pardon my ignorance, what is Known?
, Mar 13 2019 on micro.blog
@retrophisch Known — another php–based blog engine.

@cn Ah, grazie.

TIL: beets and bougainvillea are a lot more closely related than I ever imagined.
