Its honestly crazy that I consider my nearly $3k/month rent "cheap".
Moar blog things to fix
Since I'm on a roll I figured I'd make a new list of things I want to fix on Webstead. Bugs and Features: Activities: I'd like to implement configurable units of measure (metric vs imperial) Activities and check-in style posts should have the media stacked in with the photos slider. This one is potentially a bigger feature because it makes me consider that it might make sense to totally overhaul how I handle media on posts in Webstead. Posts made via micropub seem to be using "future" date...
Read moreSome Webstead bug fixes: An Update
Last week I blogged about some bug fixes that I wanted to make to Webstead. I gave myself an "SLA" of today. I'm happy to repor that as of today the bugs I shared in that post are now fixed! Blogging works! I guess blogging really does work as a method of accountability. I have blogged about some of my goals for this year and even have some on my Now page. I'm tracking one of my goals (40 hikes this year!) as a series of blog posts. I'm happy to see that blogging is working in the short-term...

Today's hike had some incredible views, but it was a bit more work than we realized! Azure had done it before but she didn't remember it being as much climbing.
I didn't take a ton of pictures to start. But the trail followed along some ranches at the start. It was a really cool area that I would really love to spend more time exploring.
After a lot of climbing and finally reaching the top we enjoyed lunch handing out with some Bristlecone Pine trees. The one in my pictures is likely over 3000 years old judging by it's size.
I think next time we head out this way it may be with a tent!
Friday afternoon meetings really should be illegal.
Code is cheap, engineering is expensive.
I don't care how good your AI tools are, you still need good engineers!

Pardon the roughness, but I'm more focused on making the game basically work first lol -
The current state of Gardn -
The Gardn's note publishing UI
I think it was James of https://jamesg.blog/ who I first mentioned to a while back that I wanted to make a game focused on helping non-technical people build a website. Well James: here it is!
The Gardn is something I've been working on at https://gardn.website. Right now it's kind of like a bookmarking website that helps you save links and post them to your website (or Mastodon, if your website doesn't support Micropub).
Eventually The Gardn game will be the main entrypoint. If you don't have a website you'll be coached through creating one. The game will give you interfaces to enter URLs (your website, posts, etc.) to scan and save which will help you get seeds to plant in your garden.
Your garden is your space to cultivate. I'm not quite ready to show that yet! My vision is that you will be able to share a link to your in-game garden on your website. Visitors to your website can come to your virtual garden as a player to explore. My hope is that it's a creative space for webmasters as much as it is a way to help grow the #IndieWeb.
I'm writing this note from within the web game I'm making to encourage people to make websites. If you're reading it then that means it worked!
Blog Questions
From Kev: Why did you start blogging in the first place? I had a website before I had a blog, but mainly because I didn't know what a blog was. The first incarnation of a blog though, that happened back in 2002-2003 I think! What platform are you using to manage your blog and why did you choose it? Right now I'm using Webstead, a home-grown CMS. It's built using Django because it was easy to rapidly prototype in my free time. Now It's grown into quite the large system! I'm currently worki...
