Built a sturdier structure for the grapevine this weekend with my Dad. We use it as a natural privacy barrier and also it yields enough grapes to make jelly for the year.

Today seems like a good day to purchase some Studio Ghibli products from the official North American distributor Bandai Namco. shop.bandai.com/studioghibli...

In @flakphoto.news post he wonders whether or not people still visit photographer's websites. I do Andy! A lot! I wrote about it on my blog: cdevroe.com/2025/03/27/a... #photography

A little @flipboard.com shout out!

Added to my resume: Passion for fixing bugs created by vibe coding experts.

@danabra.mov If someone's username on bsky is a domain name, it would be nice if there was a clickable link on their profile page to that domain name, even if they didn't add that URL to their profile.

@molly.wiki Have you written anywhere about why your Bluesky username isn't mollywhite.net?

In 2180 AD, in a digital document titled “The Sentient Digital Being’s Guide to History”... “In the beginning, there came to be vibe coding… and thus mammals lost control of the Earth.”

For many years I've periodically unsubscribed from nearly everything en masse, just to shake things up and seek out new perspectives. Now I'm scheduling it to happen every spring. 🔗 cdevroe.com/2025/03/19/s...

@steveburge.com I noticed the link from your personal site to Bluesky needs to be updated. Hope all is well! :)

How apropos that our first post on #Bluesky is to tell you that we just released version 2.25.0 of Hubbub Pro, which adds Bluesky share and follow buttons for your WordPress site. 🦋💙 morehubbub.com

Finally! #Bluesky share and follow buttons are available in Hubbub Pro 2.25.0. From your friends at @nerdpress.net morehubbub.com #WordPress

I'm @manton on most networks, @manton.org on Bluesky, and @[email protected] on the fediverse. These are all managed by Micro.blog. "Are you getting it? These are not three separate accounts… This is one place to post. And we're calling it a blog." 🤪

As a longer follow-up to my posts last night re: #Bluesky I wrote down my thoughts on my blog: cdevroe.com/2024/11/18/r... In short, I hope Bluesky federates soon and I'm glad more social networks exist.

I’m thinking about playing some video games this winter. It would be the first time I’ve played since I was in my early twenties. Video games scare me. I feel like I’ll spend way too much time on them. But, who cares? My plan is to pick up an 8bitdo controller or two and play some retro games […]

Bluesky doesn’t have a bookmarking or saving feature, so I’m using the excellent Anybox to save posts for later. anybox.app

Now that #Bluesky has exploded in sign ups (we’ll see how many stay), and has cash, I hope we see new #ATProto services that integrate with BS (and other ATP services). As far as I know, there are none. That isn’t good. Bonus points for a bridge to ActivityPub so that the social web can play nicely.

@jay.bsky.team any plans for the app to work a bit better on iPad?

Free copy and paste headline for tech blogs: “%CompanyName%, which uses AI to help %MarketSegment% businesses, raises $XXM in a round of funding (and now has such high expectations placed on them by venture partners that they are doomed to fail)”

We started releasing the XOXO 2024 talks yesterday, two per day, and they're all bangers. We'll keep adding to this thread throughout the week.

I wrote, erased, rewrote, edited, and rewrote my thoughts on Automattic vs. WP Engine. The process helped me to clarify and adjust my own thinking on the matter. It is my sincere hope the community morale rebounds despite the perhaps years long case we're about to watch unfold. While I don't […]

Happy has a new handle. 😊 @cdevroe.com

I’ve written a draft blog post of my thoughts on the Automattic vs WP Engine trademark infringement case and how it has been publicly communicated and enforced. I am not sure if I will publish it. I likely will. But I recommend anyone that is struggling to deal with or understand what is […]

Wait, are there no bookmarks here? 😱

Hey Bluesky. I’m watching @jay.bsky.team ‘s interview with @flipboard.com CEO @mmccue.bsky.social. I’ve been all in on #ActivityPub and listening to Jay I’m wondering if I’m missing something on Bluesky and the #ATProtocol Oh, here is the interview about.flipboard.com/fediverse/ja...

I totally forgot that @snarfed.org's Bridgy Fed has been quietly (and reliably) syndicating my Mastodon posts to Bluesky at https://bsky.app/profile/cdevroe.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy So, if you're on there (or, anything that uses the AT Protocol presumably?) you can follow my posts there.

Thanks to @sarahp.bsky.social 's writeup of @snarfed.org 's Bridgy Fed, y'all can follow my Mastodon posts here on Bluesky by following @cdevroe.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy I post much more on Mastodon than I do here. Here is Sarah's post: techcrunch.com/2024/06/05/b...

Colin Devroe has a new interview with me about all things Micro.blog. Interesting to compare what has changed and stayed the same since the last time I talked to Colin a few years ago.

For some of us, building a personal website is a lifelong pursuit that may never be complete. Today I’ve written a bit about that as well as why I’ve rebuilt my site on WordPress using the full site editor as much as is currently possible. 🔗 cdevroe.com/2024/02/19/r...

In April 2023 I had a formal portrait session with local historian S. Robert Powell, Ph.D., the president of our local historical society. I recently finished framing the photos I made in the darkroom. The photos, scans, and negatives will be donated to their archives. 🔗 cdevroe.com/portfolio/s-...

Bluesky will soon support intents, like Threads recently added, that will enable share buttons on both the web and mobile. We'll be ready with an update to Hubbub (our social sharing WordPress plugin) shortly after they've launched the feature. 🔗 morehubbub.com Ticket: github.com/bluesky-soci...

Thanks to @wrigley.me for having me on This Week in WordPress #285. We talked about WP 6.4.3, Meetup, Richard Stallman's rider, and I mentioned @matthiasott.bsky.social's Own Your Web newsletter. It was a nice chat with @michellefrechette.bsky.social & Marc Benzakein. 🔗 cdevroe.com/2024/02/06/t...
