Dates on Micro.Blog bug me. I changed the theme on my blog and now see this date format: 1:11 PM, Mar 6. I hate it. The trouble is, to get my preferred format: 1311 on 06 March 2023 I have to go through a million theme files to find the right ones and change it in each. I’d like a single setting.

Thanks to @tracydurnell for linking to the recipe for Southern Buttermilk Biscuits. Friends have invited me to dinner so I experimented with making these. The one I’ve tasted is just fine.

I used White Vinegar plus Milk to replace the Buttermilk.

Those Ngutuparore, Wrybill are so cute. They came within about 3 metres of me as I sat on the sand. And they run so fast (see the second half of the video).

Length: 20 cm (7.87 inches)

Weight: 55 grams (1.94 ounces)

Probably not technically on Micro.Blog, but I love following @Words@social.vivaldi.net because of the gorgeous daily fox photos. Followed them on Twitter for years.

I popped up the road for a quick treat today. Yum!

June 2012 we went zip lining in Rotorua. I coped by clutching the safety straps so tight. The first person in this video is the guide who helped me strap in and turn the camera on. Then I fly!

Heh, I was looking for a different photo but came across this one from September 2003. Remember the Iomega Zip Drives? I probably took this photo to sell it.

I enjoyed watching Britt-Marie Was Here 🎥:

The plot follows the titular protagonist Britt-Marie, a 63-year-old homemaker … who leaves her cheating husband of 40 years and reluctantly takes on a job as a youth soccer coach in the remote town of Borg.

Well, at least one of us is asleep at 1.30 a.m. 🐶

Oh 1.30 a.m. I’m getting to know you all too well. 🥱

I'd completely forgotten about this almost 2 minute video: Rosario Procession, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, Sunday 13 September 2015.

I tried Publii static site builder for over a year. Now I’m moving two sites (what a mistake!) to a single site on Micro.Blog, which means manually transferring ~350 posts. Thank heaven for MarsEdit (a key reason I’m moving).

Then I drag in the images and add alt text, replacing them from the original post. I also adjust the date on the post to reflect the original published date and time.

In future I’ll enjoy the enormously greater flexibility and utility of Mars Edit for new posts and for working with existing posts.

I’m also looking forward to the much faster and smoother publishing process with Micro.Blog, and, once I upgrade my subscription, the ability to include the handful of short videos I have each year, and the ability to send posts by email.

Plus I get to support a superb service that’s proven itself with me for my personal blog for more than 5 years now.

Only another 120 posts to go…
