Many years ago, I made a commitment to find the Secret of Monkey Island. First, as a sidekick to my sister, who played the game. Then, on my own, once my English got better.
Today, ~25 years after backseat-playing the first game, Sanna and I finally found the secret. 🏴☠️
It’s #FeedReaderFriday, everyone! 🍾 If you’re not already, you should go subscribe to Aegir’s blog. Why? Just visit the blog, see a handful of posts, and you will soon know why. 😊
Our morning coffee ritual begins 6–8 hours before the first sip. Before bed, I fill the coffeemaker with water and ground beans. Then, two freshly brewed cups are only a flip of the switch away once we wake up. 🥱 ☕️
Sipping my morning coffee and reading Why writing by hand is still the best way to retain information.
Yay! @haydon is back with a webbed brief update, asking the very relevant question What Happened To Text Inputs?{:class=“u-in-reply-to”}
Goats graze. Sanna smiles.
Searching for ice returns a category named Ice Skating in Photos.app, with relevant photographs of my nieces on skates. Also, this:
I wouldn’t call that skating. 😂
Just got an email with the subject line: “Great simplification of our price plans!”. What it should have said: “We’re increasing your price by 67%”. 🥲
Partial repeat from yesterday: same wreath, different setting.
Three things to note with my search plug-in for Micro.blog:

I love how the Caproni Stipa – aka the flying barrel – looked like an airplane from a comic book or cartoon but, you know, actually could take off and fly. 🤯
If you ever get an email with the subject line re: fish can, you should know it’s an okay anagram for the word franchise but also a lousy excuse for yours truly to be able to check off today’s challenge.
I miss you, my aluminum-bodied friend. When was the last time we had a project together? 🤔 We should team up again for this year’s Christmas card batch. 🦾
3 × Game Boy:
If you’re leaving Twitter and want to take your tweets with you, notice that the archive lacks alternative texts. Your image descriptions won’t be there. But don’t worry! Thanks to @hbeck, there’s a solution. 🎉
!!Con might be one of the coziest computer conferences there is. This year Marlene shared how to impress your crush, Anjana’s talk was a musical – about Lambda Calculus, and I enjoyed Omar’s and Nicole’s talks and their websites. All the above and more are available over here.
Everyone! Leave the Micro.blog timeline for a while and go experience @heyloura’s beautifully designed website.
The earliest Micro.blog timeline entry (the identifier with the lowest number) I could find is https://micro.blog/riverfold/2. So what happened to the first one, @manton? 😊
So I hung out with my nieces today and was handed a manuscript they’re working on; for a theater show. I get to play the role of… Yule ham. 🐷
In one scene, the ham gets a whipped cream cake in its face?! The kid’s uncle will likely adjust the script before the premiere. 😅
With the fall of the Twitter consensus I am energized. I remember what it was like in the 2000s; I remember the liveliness and sparkle of those days on the web. […] The web is wide open again, for the first time in what feels like forever.
Brent on what happens After Twitter.
And then a few months later, the people actually running those instances are going to start flexing their muscle, and the users’ response will be, “Wait, who even are you? This sucks. I just wanted my memes”.
It’s gonna go great!
I’m with jwz on Mastodon and federation.
I have a slight suspicion that the bottle used for my gin and tonic might be possessed. 😈
I started counting devices with screens in my surroundings but stopped when reaching a dozen. Without competition, the electrophoretic displays featured on my Remarkable and Kobo are my absolute favorites.
