Test posting from Micro.blog on the iPad. Have been sending posts to the app via the iOS Share Sheet out of Pocket.app and nothing is actually getting posted…what’s going on???

Congratulations @travispacker for making the New Lambton FC U10 SAP squad 💪🏻⚽️
Lego built a drivable Bugatti Chiron with over 1 million pieces
Much like its counterpart, the Lego Chiron has some outrageous specs...
Awesome, wonder how much Lego we have at home 🧐
Is anyone using Indigenous to post to micro.blog directly, if so, how do you login to it?
Perfect game!
I’m so sick and tired of all the Usain Bolt in the A-League talk. Makes the A-League, and the Mariners, look like a circus. ⚽️
Watching: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I, Robot... You, Jane (S1.E8) Willow's new Internet chat buddy turns out to be a powerful demon electronically unleashed from a centuries-old, newly digitized book.
Bright and sunny in Newcastle today ☀️📸
I’ve helped keep a human alive for 9 years today. Happy Birthday @travispacker 🎂🎉
Listening to: Rise Against - The Ghost Note Symphonies, Vol.1
Brought a Phillips Hue bridge and bulb this afternoon…OMG why did I wait so long! 💡
Watching: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Teacher’s Pet (S1.E4)
Buffy's biology teacher is killed by a giant praying mantis that assumes the form of a beautiful substitute teacher.
I used to be such a crappy sleeper, always waking up in the middle of the night, never being able to get back to sleep, averaging between 5-6 hours a night, now look at me.
I basically avoid alcohol as much as possible, i.e. I don’t drink to relax after work any more (which sounds quite toxic to write), and when we’re away on holidays or at a social thing, I try to limit the amount I drink, along with not drinking after 4-5pm where possible.
Obviously, there are times when this is not possible and I end up having a couple of beers or wines, I just have to know that I will sleep like crap on these nights, and that’s OK.
For the QS types out there, what’s the simplest food tracking app to use on iOS? It must integrate with Apple Health and / or Exist.io?
First Impressions of the new OURA Ring
Oooh, new OURA ring just arrived, finally. I pre-ordered it back in December, quite surprised it took this long for it to arrive.
First impressions, packaging is very nicely done, quite “Apple” like, and 100% recyclable, bonus points for that. The new charger should be easier to use than the old one, plus it’s USB C, and last but not least, the new ring looks nicer than the last version with the big lump on it.
More thoughts after I charge it and wear it for a few days.
Just pushed the new Gmail interface out to our company, wonder how long it will take for anyone to notice the change? 🤷🏼♂️
Every week, Grammarly sends me an email telling me it’s the very last time to get this special price…it bugs the shit out of me. If it’s such a special offer and only lasts a week, why tell me about it every week for months on end, clearly there’s no time pressure here.
Watched: Cloak & Dagger: First Light (S1.E1)
Two teenagers from different backgrounds awaken to discover they have acquired superpowers and have become mysteriously linked.
Listening: Back to Work: Deploy the Dongle
Has anyone else setup the “mirror to Github” feature on Micro.blog? Interested to know if you’ve got it to work, because so far it’s not been working for me.
Migrating to Micro.blog
I’ve finally made the decision to archive my old matpacker.com blog and re-direct the domain name to my Micro.blog account. I’ve setup the Github mirroring, so I’ve always got that as a backup.
I may run a local install of WordPress on my laptop so that I can edit up the old posts, re-attach photos, etc. and then maybe import that to Micro.blog, however, that’s a long term project I can worry about later. I think the biggest issue will be fixing old blog posts where I had the photos hosted elsewhere, i.e. flickr, S3, etc. Pretty sure I still have all the images, but it’d be nice to consolidate them to a single location.
Ugh, I’m also supposed to be working while I’m doing this…
DNS propagation is such a random thing. I’ve had times where it took maybe 5 minutes for the new settings to resolve, other times I’ve waited more than 6 hours.
