🛠 Spending the night reminding myself how to design and build a website.
Have decided to adopt a rule for downloading new apps. There needs to be no or very minimal data collection.
Something I look forward to when I go to my hometown of Mackay, Queensland, at Christmas is the fresh reef fish available from the trawlers that caught it in the fishing zones off the Great Barrier Reef. My brother also goes fishing at the beach. Fresh crumbed whiting, delicious.
I regret quite a few things but at the moment it’s the fact I made a poor decision to not put the air conditioner on earlier tonight.
My regret about this is directly related to the fact it’s now 27.8°c with 92% humidity and I can’t sleep.
Organising my digital life - continued.

I've spent some more time thinking about and looking at options for how I want to craft my thoughts. Not the tools I want to use but more the way I want to publish, if at all.
Do I need a website beyond what I already have or am I happy with it as it is.
I've primarily been using it for micro posts but now that I have settled into a good routine I want to start writing longer posts. This is what I keep coming back to. Are these going to stay as distinctly separate content on write.as or will I keep them all together on the one site.
Sitting on my balcony after the storm and watching it turn a glorious colour. What’s the old saying “red sky at night, shepherds delight”.
Wore shorts to work today. Someone asked if I was trying to start a new trend for casual office wear and I replied that as I was born and raised in North Queensland they should be happy I had shoes on and not the ‘good’ thongs.
Thoughts on organising my digital life
I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to decide how best to arrange my digital life. In particular, longer thoughts or posts but also my photos.
- Do I connect everything to the one website?
- Do I keep everything on micro.blog?
- Do I need a new stand alone domain?
- Do I use sub-domains pointing at different host sites?
- Should I treat writing differently to photos or see them all as a blog entry?
- Will anybody even read or view my random thoughts?
With regard to the last point, I’ve decided it doesn’t matter. This is a project for me. If someone else happens to read it then even better but it’s not why I’m here.
I don’t want an online journal or diary. The best analogy is online scrapbook or perhaps notebook. The pages will contain whatever was relevant at the time.

My battle wagon is ready.
It might also just be the local rowing club ready for the river first thing in the morning.
