The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@simondoggett Good on you! "Vanity URLs" are not a bolt-on or a whim. Sensible and readable URLs are important.

Getting stroppy. If your platform imposes URLs with crud in them that you can't control, you are using the wrong platform.

Cheering loudly for Murray at Wimbledon, but choosing instead to take the rare opportunity to watch my niece in a Softball tournament.

I thought it was because of beer and buns, but boffins at CERN identify #higgs and say it is what give atoms and me, our mass. Yay science!

Happy July the 4th! Anniversary of the day that we, the English, sent our ungrateful teenager out into the world on their own. #Trolling
