muhh bits

The soldering of the controller part went well for the most part, but the computer crashed during the first test. On the Mac behind a docking station, I only get an error message saying that the USB device is consuming too much power. So there is obviously a short circuit somewhere. As far as I can see on the USB-C port. With its 16 pins in a very small space.

Sigh.

15 years ago today the “microblogging conference 09” happened in Hamburg #mbc09

This is the highpoint of my “microblogging journey” where I even had a dedicated blog about microblogging, blogulus.de. Ah, good times, discovering identi.ca and status.net and even meeting @evan himself.

Too bad the identi.ca shirts he had left didn’t fit.

Additionally to going back a route down to remember Cem Basman I crawled around the wayback machine looking at what I did there 15 years ago on blogulus.de. I really liked what I found there and wanted a local copy since I deleted the Drupal and its data in 2013. Probably because of sleep deprivation.

Anyways, I found the wayback machine downloader gem.

It only needed a gem install wayback_machine_downloader and a wayback_machine_downloader -t 20130828020930 -a http://blogulus.de to get a local copy.

nice!

That’s neovim, Obsidian.md and iA Writer for me.

a small test from the all new iA writer. A tool that’s been on my belt for many years but collected some dust. But it’s always been reliable when I wanted to get some serious writing done. Even when all my texts are handled by Obsidian.md nowadays.

It does for me a bit and I still regret that I stopped continuing the journey with status.net to pump.io to the other things that eventually ended up in mastodon.
