Johncom Bulletin November 2023

Long time no speak, email fans! I stopped writing for a while because I've been busy. But now I'm less busy¹ and so I'm back with a vengeance!

There have been some updates on my site since we last spoke.

• I wrote about having an epiphany while listening to a podcast about programming. This one was popular on Hacker News, so you know it's good!

• I also made some icons that I'm now using on my computer.

• I also wrote about the value of doing boring maintenance of your life.

• Also I wrote an incoherent rambling screed about Balenciaga's trainers. Read at your peril.

Finally, I added an albums page - which I've started to fill out with a record of the records I've made. I've been building the individual album pages using mmm.page which is one my new favourite websites. It's a great way to “break free of the grid” and “get loose and crazy.” Below is an example of one of the pages I've made.

I've also been involving in secret encrypted communications with the creator of mmm.page where I suggest implausible features, and they say that they are good ideas and promise that they're working on them. More to follow.

Other Things from Around the Internet

• I started reading this blog about the value of fun software from the creator of the aforementioned mmm.page - It's good.

• I started using Kinopio - which is my other new favourite website. A million times better than Miro - and it's made by one person.

Goodbye

That's all for this time. You can look forward to another email someday. But I'm not sure when.
