Yesterday, I hit 300 consecutive days of posting to the blog. Admittedly, a lot of that has been posting about the blog but it's still a pretty solid run. A lot of what I've posted has been in typical microblogging mode but posting itself is now completely habitual – that and writing to the journal which, itself, is only three days away from 300 consecutive entries.

I've not posted this consistently since the #write365 project back in 2014, I think the most I had achieved in a row was about 200 days. The way things operate now I can't see any reason why I wouldn't post on any given day short of being physically unable.

Kev listed his defaults for things he uses in response to something going round the blogosphere (inspired by episode 97 of the Hemispheric Views podcast). A bit like a /uses page but in post form.

Never one to pass up on something like this I thought I'd list mine, though it's a little boring compared to others and considering that my life online is fairly well contained:

  • Mail Server: mail included with web hosting
  • Mail Client: Spark (trying mail.app on the Mac)
  • Calendar: Google Calendar
  • Contacts: Google Contacts
  • Cloud File Storage: iCloud, Dropbox
  • RSS: my own /reader page
  • Browser: Arc (Mac), Brave (Android)
  • Search: Ecosia
  • Chat: Facebook Messenger (because of family)
  • Notes: my own /notes page
  • To-Do: my own /notes page
  • Shopping Lists: my own /notes page
  • Music: Spotify and local files
  • Podcasts: between services (was Google Podcasts)
  • Password Management: Bitwarden
  • Code editor: VSCodium

Extra

  • Launcher: Raycast
  • Blogging: (b)log-In (my custom CMS)

Above all else, my list shows that I'm not trapped within any particular ecosystem although, if I had my way, more of these would be using something I built myself. 1

Robb Knight is collecting a list of those who have participated.


  1. that probably means I'm now going to build more things 🤦‍♂️

Random posts now show two completely random posts.
