Barbecue and Beer

Right now that's about all I can think about. Meeting a couple of friends to eat brisket and drink a couple of beers.

That is something that I need this evening. A couple of hours and it'll all be happening. Just need to make it through those hours.

Population Decrease

According to Whoville there are only 23 people logged in to relvokcor.xyz as I type this. For all the bits thrown at writing about the service back in October, there are only a handful of people still using it a few weeks later. And that seems just fine.Whoville

As ~ford has said from the beginning, the point wasn't to create the Next Big Thing by spinning up an instance of an Earlier Big Thing, but to have a little fun and connect a few people. And relvokcor.xyz has done that.

I'd be a little surprised if I'm still running this blog a year from now, but I feel confident that I'll still be doing a few things differently than I did during the tilde-lacuna period of my life -- the years between regular access to a shared server. And that's the part that, in my view, matters.

Back Tomorrow. Or Maybe the Day After

In a house on the beach with friends for Thanksgiving. Carnitas, walks on the beach, afternoon beer while prepping the stuffing, football, of both televised and nerf varieties, four kids running amok in the best possible way. Catch you later.

The Daily Checkin

I just learned that there exists a soon-to-be-released app named "Pine," marketed with the line "Your daily check-in." Probably because I've been spending time in the tilde shell of late, my first thought -- my first hope, really -- was that the app was just a wrapper around the Pine email client.

As you might expect, the app does not appear to be this.

But spinning that out a little further, I realized that tilde is already my daily check-in, or more-or-less daily, anyway. Very few people read what I post here, and that's fine; I maintain this little tildeblog because it's a space for me. It represents a few minutes each day when I just think about my own little things, and try to put some kind of coherent form to them.

The tool used to accomplish this is almost irrelevant. While I think that Pine, the app, will probably turn out to be a little silly, I absolutely support the underlying desire.

Give people a little time and space on their own.
