looking at bbc sites from 2009, the kids forums had official opening hours. i've forever been obsessed with the idea of a website only accessible during waking hours.....
bap....... backkkkk....i trust you all had a great halloween.....and now the microblog has cool stuff like actual links to each post and ids that make sense (technical junk for rss).
i want to post later about what i've been into. all i'll say is that i like the last two tracks on the new tyler album....and jason scott's podcast got me to listen to nirvana 1993 unplugged from the diamondhead tape archives on the internet archive (THEY'RE BACK BTW!!!).
> i don't need a passport i'm a swamp bitch
i like business that leaves money on the table........extra patty in the burger, a little extra in a drink, making it easy to download an extra copy of game.............
not when one takes money from weird people.
i was able to rip the two live npr wnyc streams, both in mp3:
beats the website and especially that dang mobile app, works real good if you add them to rhythmbox, feels like the old itunes days of the 2000s.
there's a subtlty to npr that feels similar to jason scott's podcast [raw feed] and it's soooooooothingggg.
extra, i listen in from london and it makes me feel insane when they play the bbc news hour.

awesome awesome awesome website....there's a microblog....fotos....and art
it is fall and christian novelli's blog is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! it never left but the spirit is BACK!!!!!!!!!
long live club penguin......can't do fall without internet media affirming it
ps, look at that font styling.......the web is back and it's beautifullllllll
my post on pessimism and my post on dave winer are tied by the banner text on scripting.com:
It's even worse than it appears..
i like dave winer's writing on web publishing because he's fixated on details.......please never stop lobbying for posts without titles.....
No more character limits. Posts can have titles, or not. We can use links, as many as we like. Styling works. We can edit our posts.
this microblog doesn't use titles, i don't need em most of the time, but even rss requires them.
and i think dave's favorite right now....the "tiny little text box":
This is a tiny little text box. My goal is to eradicate these beasts.
"the web lives in wordpress and mastodon":
I am typing in a respectable editing window [yessssssss], where I retain copies of my writing, and there's no freaking tiny little text box.
is it true that early livejournal let you (or made you?) type in raw html? i want that......... (i'm basing this assumption from that scene in the social network)
peter griffin goes on the hot ones youtube talk show and opens "it's nice to be part of the decline of american journalism."
this twenty year block we're living through, add a few years on the margin, will be remembered as a really pessimistic time, decline of institutions and the confusion that followed etc.
for better or worse i do all my serial text posting through instagram stories and i want to bridge the gap between it and the OPEN WEB. adding rss to this microblog is part of it and next will be combining my ig data download.
last fall i tried something similar but wrongly treated ig as the primary source and was manually uploading the stories to neocities via my pc. where are those pages now...? the first post here from jan 1 mentions it:
my craziest experiment on here was once attempting to mirror my ig story to its own page but failed once i realized that manual labor was required to sustain it.
this time i want to make a page that allows me to post from my phone and then treat the microblog as the one with priority, the total opposite to last time.
it's going both ways too, i've been working on an rss feed generator for each ig account i follow by using the same tools that the spambots use and i've already been hit with a "we've detected automated activity on this account warning."
THE OPEN WEB!!!!!
the infinite expansion of media enabled by social media followed by the draconian limitations on that access through perverted feeds and no official remedies to wrangle them (e.g. apis, rss) is inhumane and feels unrivaled. the explosion of books brought the lending library, tv had dvr.
not much of an original thought but one i've been fixated on recently.
i'm on a big 90s kick, it started with the second season of that 90s' show (yes, yes, derivative, etc) and now i'm on a reread of chuck klosterman's the nineties. lots of great quotes, esp on the internet which is ya know, why we're all here.
it sometimes doesn't seem possible that the postal service and landline telephones were enough to perpetuate society. but they were, and there was no sense whatsoever that communication was not happening fast enough. [...] while it was always possible to disagree over whether [the] long-distance rate was reasonable or expensive, no one assumed phone calls should be free. the limitations of time and space were ingrained, as was the concept of a telephone's calcifying geography in nonnegotiable terms.
oh what have we done?
yesss.... i'm back on neocities, real excited and all for it. FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS is the microblog: i'm back posting here.
it's really starting to feel like fall where i live and it's giving me so much energy, someone smiled at me on the street today too, the little things.
my sister is so offline, unplugged, unbothered. she's been doing the massive New York Times end of year crossword for 5 days. right now she's solving a rubik's cube. she just asked if "gone girl" is a romance movie.
god let this be me in a year...
awesome awesome awesome website....there's a microblog....fotos....and art
bonus: when i was in high school i loved his music, this song specifically, i rediscovered it all today after so many years
my first ever archive.org upload, an interview i found with the luddite club founder
True to their nature, the Luddite club has no presence online, so don't like, subscribe, or follow them anywhere.
REFRESHING
the luddite club in brooklyn is one of my greatest inspirations. growing up online and lonely all youth culture i ever consumed was adjascant to or was on the internet. even today in college i talk tiktok constantly. the internet owns the culture, it shouldn't be like this!!!
read the links (at least the first):
i'll expand on all these thoughts at some point AND put these links on the homepage. i made a quick post because it's been on mind recently.
from september to november of 2023 i was proud of my instagram stories, now i can't produce one without feeling miserable. it's a shift in mindset and what feels like my retirement.
i use the neocities editor 90% of the time...ssshhhh
laura les i've been listening to:
followup from jan 1: already sick of iphone internet
IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO ONLY USE BASIC TECHNOLOGY I UNDERSTAND INSIDE OUT........i get how irc or old fashioned mail works........i dont get how a tiktok msg gets from phone to phone
the tumblr shoelaces are a joke but i like the sentiment, i see someone looking internet adjacent and want to know what their computer plans are for the night
after so much repression i've dove head first into a renewed internet addiction. there's so much to see, so much to do. how long until i get sick of it all again?
my craziest experiment on here was once attempting to mirror my ig story to its own page but failed once i realized that manual labor was required to sustain it.
seeing lunospace's microblog made me realize that using the neocities editor is the key to keeping a microblog on here alive. please.....glance upon my ingenius css that makes posting so easy
