From the blog: Work Hard (or not).
Post 2 of #WeblogPoMo2024 and I’m already cheating: Find Bugs Once and the Joy of Bug Fixing
Post one of WeblogPoMo: Things I Like About Things. (Though I think I’m too late to make the @anniegreens list! 🙁)
Alright, let’s see if this gets me off the phone pellet bar for a bit.
Aviation
So is there a way for me to delete almost every app off of my iphone and revert to where it is now if I decide “I’ve made a terrible mistake?” I’m thinking computer-based backup and restore is about it?
Just want to try the dumb(ish) phone life for a week or so to see if I like it.
I think that self-promotion is a particular difficulty for those of us trying to turn the tide of the internet. And so I wrote a few things.
Some highlighted quotes from I Cheerfully Refuse.
This month’s IndieWeb Carnival theme is “Good Enough,” so of course I had to participate.
Did the Third Man Records tour today and pulled the fortunate Ben Blackwell tour guide lottery ticket. Was lovely.
I wrote a little bit about how we (Good Enough) and all the small shops out there need your continued support to make it in this competitive internet world. Thanks for past and continued support! goodenough.us/blog/2024…
It happened!
I just got to Inbox Nine in my personal email and I’m going to call it very good! I think I’ll read some of the newsletters in there this evening and go the rest of the way.
Last night.
Resurfaced a very old post from another place, another time: My First Program. Perhaps you have a first-programming story?

A bit of a stream (heh) of consciousness on the streaming pendulum.
Once upon a time if you wanted a product or service, you paid for it. That, but for online things.
TIL: You can no longer programmatically ping search engines with updates to your sitemap in an anonymous way. And I learned other things. Sitemaps on Pika.
Finally wrapped up Ted Lasso. You can talk about it in front of me now. 🤣
Anyone out there successfully using mailbrew? Tell us how you’re using it?

I decided to pick up a decently-priced Kindle Oasis 3 on eBay. Hope it works well enough!
Thanks for the e-reader feedback on my last post. I want to go with a Kobo Libra 2, but losing the auto syncing of Kindle highlights to Obsidian might be the thing that keeps me on the Kindle platform. The only Kindle with a page-turn button seems to be the Oasis, which they’ve stopped making. 🤔
