For those who visit Japan frequently, and fly 10+ hours, what is your minimum stay requirement given jet lag and theâŠpain of long flights? We enjoyed visiting so much that I want to be ready to jump on any mistake airfares. Iâm thinking 10 days is reasonable, but maybe I shouldâve push to 7?
I think I found that URL redirection service I was after: Redirect Pizza.
Micro.blog ingesting of outside RSS feeds seems pretty hit-or-miss to me? You have the same experience? (It could very much be a poorly coded feed from Pika. Just seems weird that sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.)
Just finished up Demon Copperhead. What a ride. My first Barbara Kingsolver fiction book, if youâre wanting to make a recommendation.
We at Good Enough have been cranking on Pika this week. None of this has really landed in the product, so it seems an update is in order.
Flights to Iceland booked for July. Now to get planning!
Letting three domains expire: thingslearned.net, thingslearned.org, and thingsfound.org. These were gathered in my “maybe I should be a low-rent Kottke” phase. Hopefully I don’t stop learning or finding things!
Parents of U.S. college kids, how you liking that FAFSA rollout amirite?
Just deployed draft posts to Pika. Felt a bit uncomfortable as it doesn’t have quite the refinement that we like to have in a feature - even if it’s early days. Should clean up in the next week or two, though!
Paku Paku. Genius.
The family watched The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The bits I saw seemed pretty good, but I just couldn’t keep myself awake for it! I guess I should get to bed. đ
I’m so glad that I got two of these Tim Robinson Zip Line guys before they sold out!
Adam Woodâs (@adam) 2023 album list is out! That means I have plenty to listen to in 2024. Yay!
Over on the Pika side, worked the past day+ to update posts so that they no longer require a title. Fantastic! Thank you for the heavy doses of inspiration, @amit and @petebrown!
Steve Wilson has ChatGPT write a Christmas song in the style of Steven Wilson. December Skies.
Pika Pages have arrived! Itâs still a little rough around the edges, but I can now run my personal site on Pika. pika.pika.page/posts/pik…
Listening to the preview of The Power Broker podcast and felt intrigued enough to consider reading the 1,200 page book. And now Iâve learned that itâs not availablee in digital formats?! Wow! Perfect book to not buy physical, for weight and highlighting reasons. Will have to think on it.
Giving Omnivore a try over Matter. Looks like a solid option with a nice sync-highlights-to-Obsidian feature.
I brought up desk treadmills in the past, but the roadblock in my mind is what do I do with it when I want too sit or stand? My office doesnât have a lot of space. I canât imagine many of them are designed to flip up on edge. Any practical tips are welcomed!
This week’s Pika status, along with some personal-site inspiration: Pika Gliding Along.
Wondering if anyone has this workflow (readflow?)?
Subscribe to site via RSS > Skim feed reader to decide what to/what not to read > Send âwant to readâ things to a read-later service (like Matter) > Only actually read via the read-later service
i.e. never read things in your feed reader.
