I noticed that the "cover" images for my posts aren't showing up when reading my feed in Elfeed. It's because I use absolute URLs without a hostname. Other readers, like NetNewsWire, prepend the hostname automatically. I don't think I'll fix it yet, because using full URLs makes me twitchy, because I'm me and I move things.

I've been re-discovering TiddlyWiki. My wiki (wiki.baty.net) contains nearly 4,000 "tiddlers", beginning in 2018. There is so much stuff in there that I search it almost daily. I've drifted away from using it for new stuff, probably because I'm all-in Emacs for notes (howm, specifically) and I've been publishing my daily notes at either baty.net or daily.baty.net. Now, though, I'm remembering how great TiddlyWiki is for exactly the sort of things I want to record and share. So, I'll be spending more time there for a bit.

Remember when I used wttr.in to pull in the forecast in ascii?

If I were to let someone else manage my blog, I'd probably go with Pika. Not that I'm considering it :). Anyway, there's no search, yet, which makes Pika a non-starter for me.
