The Blot/Microblog Community
This website is powered by Blot.im.
I also have an account at micro.blog. Those posts originate from my Wordpress instance running on my “main” site, andrewcanion.com.
I like having this blot site, with my thinking being that it’s for random ephemera and other bits and bobs that aren’t as “important” as those posted on my “proper” blog.1
On a whim, I reached out to the Micro.blog community (at least that part of the community that I have connections with) in an attempt to find others who also have Blot-hosted sites. I wanted to see what others are doing with theirs.
This led to an interesting conversation, with some great nuggets of information shared around. The award, however, has to go to John Philpin for his compiled list of users and their sites.
It’s this kind of co-operation amongst strangers that makes the internet fun again.
All these air quotes are a bit ridiculous, really.↩︎
Ask Micro.blog: Is there an effective way to find sites running on blot.im infrastructure?

An interesting combination of Siri Shortcuts with DEVONthink and Airmail.
I watched Baby Driver. I didn’t love it.
In macOS Mojave I’ve built a macro using Keyboard Maestro to automatically switch between Light and Dark modes for day and night, respectively, since Apple failed to incorporate that obvious feature themselves.

I’m looking forward to the NBL v NBA games coming up this week. Such a shame my Perth Wildcats will be without their starting centre, Angus Brandt. We needed that unit, who has a build like Aaron Baynes. 🏀
Royal Show!
A Successful Day at the Office
It was great to be able to provide business advice and support to an iconic Perth business - Scott Print, as part of my work as a Business Adviser with the Entrepreneurs' Programme.
An article detailing the work we did together, and their experience as a customer, is also available.

I love operating system update day. Beforehand, I’m all like, “I’ll wait a few days to avoid any zero-day risks”. Then on release morning I rush around in a giddy haze updating all the things.
Beer at Petition, Perth.
Ben Thompson really smashes it out of the park with this analysis at stratechery.com. So well written, and so accurate. It’s always more profitable to be a shareholder than a customer.
My iPhone 8 Plus Product(Red) is still nice and new to me. I have no desire or need to upgrade to an iPhone X variant. My wife, on the other hand, who is still rocking the iPhone 6S might be interested!
I’m addicted to Hearthstone. Are there any players in the micro.blog community?
I have bought a licence for BusyContacts, so I expect it will now be made available on Setapp any moment now…
I played a few levels of Starcraft tonight. Been about 20 years since my last game and I still remembered it perfectly. Took me back to the days of LAN parties.
I have to give credit to @manton and @macgenie - I think micro.blog is the nicest, most value-additive internet community I’ve ever been a part of. They have established a great culture.
I’ve hardly used Lightroom this year, but after trialling the photo apps in Setapp, I think I’m going to stick with it Creative Cloud for another year.
