Old school internet commentary post: Internet commentary – Manu
I had random thoughts I wanted to dump somewhere and this is why blogs exist.

Thanks for the link.
I’m not even entirely sure how to take the WP drama! Pretty high stakes being banned from wordpress.org if your entire business relies on it! wild!

Such a bizarre situation but I don’t care about the end result so I’m enjoying the drama.

While I don’t use WordPress to build my personal websites, I am working as a WordPress developer now, so I would be lying if I said I don’t have any concern about how this drama will affect the WordPress scene.

blogging is very new to me and I hope to get better with time. But this was something I found myself wanting to share but with nowhere to put it, so a blog was started:
Does touch on anxiety a bit, and also has spoilers for the show Halt and Catch Fire

I dropped a few posts this week:
There are also a few days left if you wanted to do the September 2024 IndieWeb carnival. I’m hosting this month, and it’s kinda dark, but I’ll accept posts through October 4th.
I’ll go ask my therapist if I have ADHD. Eventually.

The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! I’ve got 4 links to cool things at the top, talk about being a meat-eater while trying to keep the welfare of what I’m eating in mind, found some cool DVDs to add to my collection, watched a lot of YouTube (another cool link in that section) and got a new book.

A couple more new posts.
This post was inspired by Kev Quirk and a recent encounter I had with local police; a cop had driven past while I was trying to get back into my own house because I had locked my keys inside.
I’m hoping to get a few more submissions for the September 2024 IndieWeb carnival, and am accepting them until Friday, October 4.

Wrote down a few thoughts about a bunch of posts I read recently: On personal websites and social web – Manu

I read a manual called Culture Matters that was unexpectedly enlightening. I finally got my polished book notes/summary up today.
It’s a workbook for those who are immersed in a different culture to understand their cross-cultural experience. Even if that’s not you, it was a useful journey in cultural self-awareness. I feel like I can now peek behind the curtain and understand, at least partially, why people do what they do and believe what they believe. Give it a read if you’re disproportionately intrigued by the idea that you can put a wildly abstract, intangible concept onto paper and study it at your desk.

I umm forgot to send this blog post here, I finished it this morning. Lately I haven’t been feeling great about making sites, but rather than complain I made a blog post reflecting on the ups and downs, what I think is going wrong and what changes I may need to make about my attitude.
