Spell Caster is a fun game for Halloween! It’s amazing to see what is possible with html, css and javascript…

With the release of the new MacBook Pro M3, the 9 month old 14” MacBook Pro M2 is now discontinued… Is this the shortest lived MacBook Pro ever? Do I own a collectors item?

Many rumors for the “Scary Fast” event didn’t pan out, but Tim Cook did say “Good evening!”

Listening to Ghost In the Machine (Alternate Sequence Edition) by The Police. Thinking back, younger me probably wouldn’t like this. The first half starts off slow. Present me really likes this sequence as an entire album listen. The 3 additional tracks makes listening an experience.

RSS feeds still accessible by micro.blog this morning. No idea why they work again. Don’t want to jinx it, but I hate these mysteries and would love to know why it’s working now.

Suddenly, micro.blog can read my feeds again. I didn’t touch anything. This is making me crazy. I wish I knew what was going on and what allows this to work intermittently.

Whatever it was that allowed my RSS feeds to be accessible to micro.blog has ended. They are now invalid RSS feeds again. Very strange. I’m guessing this window opens every Saturday. I wonder what is going on.

Yep. They’re working and cross-posting is as well. I wonder what process happens on Saturday for micro.blog or my web host. Something “shuts off” that allows the two to work together. 🤔

Don’t mind me. Just doing a reality check to see if these feeds are working.

And… now my blog feeds are accessible to micro.blog again. This happened last Saturday as well and I have no idea what is happening nor why it’s working again. If this is like last Saturday, it won’t last. I wish I knew what causes it to suddenly work again.

Now I’m debating if all of this is worth it… Why am I going through all of this trouble just to post here?

This seems to be working! I can’t believe the hoops I’ve had to jump through to get it to work. I’m currently running a script to download my RSS feed to my home server… just so I’m able to post to micro.blog from my external blog. Sometimes I hate all of the security stuff web hosts have.

Testing OMP remote RSS feed…

Super excited that VIZ Manga licensed Hirayasumi by Keigo Shinzo. I’ve been waiting for this series to get an english translation for a while. May 2024 is a long time away…

Testing 1, 2, 3…

It’s also why I haven’t been posting here much.

I’m using an external blog to post to micro.blog and have had issues with my RSS feeds validating. Turning off Cloudflare’s proxy fixes it, but defeats the purpose of using CF. I’ve already whitelisted MB’s IPs in the firewall but that doesn’t seem to help. Anyone else experiencing this?
