Spent most of the day cleaning up a hacked website. Computers might have been a mistake. WordPress definitely was.
I’m trying out AutoHotKey after seeing Joel’s post with his example script. Looks promising and more flexible.

Any amount helps and boosting appreciated. 💛
I’m a big fan of Blue Star Donuts
Listened to “Air-Borne” with Carl Zimmer on 99% Invisible. It was a great introduction to our growing understanding of airborne viruses and the importance of cleaning the air, much like we clean the water.
Very relatable. Thank you for sharing and I wish the same for you tomorrow. 💛
Watched a great Defcon talk by Micah Lee: “We are currently clean on OPSEC”: The Signalgate Saga
I knew it was bad but hadn’t followed it much after the initial news cycle. It was even worse than I thought.

I updated my site to use the Libravatar CDN for avatars. If one isn't found, it will still fallback to Gravatar, so it should be seamless for commenters. I also updated the default icon to identicons, so people without avatars will get a nifty geometric image instead of the anonymous silhouette.
My privacy policy is updated with this information too.

Throwback to 2018. This mural used to be in North Park, San Diego near where I lived. The artist is Mark Paul Deren (@madsteez on Instagram) and it was titled “WEENosaurus Rex.”
Unfortunately, a mini Target moved into the space and they painted over it, despite a petition trying to save it. Here’s an NBC San Diego article about it. It looks like WEENosaurus might still live on in Fairfax, Virginia, though.
Challenge accepted! 😉 jk
New shirt arrived just in time for HTML Day! Of course I got the cat one, too.

This method worked for me and I love it: tenbluelinks.org
I watched Shiny Happy People S2 about Teen Mania. I thought it was a good overview and done well. I think I’m going to write more about my experiences from my current perspective. Most of my writings on it are from early 2000s and a lot has changed. Ask me anything!
An IndieWeb meme, quoted from Tantek in the #indieweb-meta chat.
Just a friendly reminder that we don’t have to rank different levels of independence and there’s no One Way to Be Indie™. There are always tradeoffs with the web, but hopefully we are moving towards more individual control of the things we create. I think the IndieWeb community does a good job embodying that in the principles.
Gripe: I got a parking ticket for being within 20ft of a crosswalk. It was right in front of my place where I’ve parked for years and was not in the red zone. That doesn’t matter, though, because I learned the California “Daylighting” law (CVC 22500) does not require painted curbs to be cited. So, heads up out there.
I think the 20ft rule is good, but this implementation of it sucks. It went into effect January 1 and supposedly they had a grace period of 60 days where they issued warnings, but I never received one.
This crispy chickpea pesto eggs recipe sounds so good, going to try it out.
