I’ve set up shoutouts.lol by @vincent. For now it is running as the opening entry at canion.me or specifically at canion.me/shout-out… I’ve tried it on andrewcanion.com but the styling doesn’t look so nice and I don’t know how to fix that.
Microblogvember 2022, Day 7: With the amount of time spent in Microsoft Teams, surely I have gained enough insight for a single work day.
Microblogvember 2022, Day 6: I went on a roller coaster today. I’m too old for it. But I heard the echo of screams while riding.
Microblogvember 2022, Day 5: Today I am exempt from making lunch.
Microblogvember 2022, Day 4: After two weeks of solo parenting, I look with admiration upon all those who do it alone full-time.
Microblogvember 2022, Day 3: I’m so old. I’ve had a license to drive a car for 28 years. I still remember driving myself to school for the first time; I felt like a bad-ass.
I got myself a new avatar! Thank you nanayudhistira2.
I see that @dave has created Feedland. I’m having trouble grokking it - or maybe I’m over-thinking. It grabs RSS feeds and presents a river - but I don’t understand why I’d use it ahead of a feed reader. I’m missing something, right?
Microblogvember 2022, Day 2: My coffee shop sandwich was de-contented. It was definitely not a feast. Guess that’s one way to defy rising cost of materials.
Business Basics and Twitter Acquisitions
Tuesday, November 1, 2022
Can Elon Musk Make the Math Work on Owning Twitter? It’s Dicey. - The New York Times: Last year, Twitter’s interest expense was about $50 million. With the new debt taken on in the deal, that will now balloon to about $1 billion a year. Yet the company’s operations last year generated about $630 million in cash flow to meet its financial obligations. That means that Twitter is generating less money per year than what it owes its lenders.
I have added rel="me" links on my various websites so they each vouch for one another that they’re all related to me.
I am grateful not to be working in an office, where I have to pretend to care about the Melbourne Cup. That stupid horse race has ruined so many of my Tuesdays - I even remember having to watch it in Primary School! (obviously the teachers were betting on it)
Microblogvember 2022, Day 1. I need to figure out how to rediscover my motivation for work. Been feeling meh these past few days.
Trick or Treat! Happy Halloween.
Having a night where I can’t fall asleep. Then I start thinking about not getting enough sleep, and start calculating how little sleep I am going to get before having to wake up, which causes sleep anxiety… you know the drill.
I’m having a lot of fun with Mastodon tonight. I’ve joined the server hosted by @neatnik. My username is @andrew@social.lol
Okay @maique I’m at the point where I feel I need a cute avatar like all the cool kids. What was the name of the guy who did yours, how much did it cost, and what source material did you have to supply to provide inspiration?
What kind of bizarre inception moment is it when you follow your own micro.blog account via Mastodon? I have done it. 😵💫

It’s macOS and iPadOS release day and I’ve updated nothing. That is a first for me!
