I reflect on my one year anniversary on omg.lol and authoring posts on this weblog.

I think the company IT guy thinks my job is just “logging into stuff” and “installing updates when prompted.”

it is not rude to say no.

it is rude to fail to graciously take no for an answer.

If you received an email message like this, I’m sorry. I don’t know how many people this spammer contacted, but this is just gross behavior. Needless to say, I wouldn’t use the service he’s advertising.

He contacted me separately asking if I would be willing to integrate his service into omg.lol.

Yeah, no. 👎

With just a few hours left in 2023 (in my time zone, at least), I took a look back at the year and what we accomplished with omg.lol.

New post: The Web is Fantastic https://rknight.me/blog/the-web-is-fantastic/

This is a post I've been trying to write for a while and it's a bit all over the place but if I don't post it now it will live in purgatory forever

“24 hours of something” starts in 2 hours. Who knows what it will be or if I ( @jason) will survive? Maybe I’ll see some of you there as we make our way around the globe! :hemisphericviews:

Porkbun is my favorite registrar for being simultaneously weird and good, so it’s nice to see them get credit for it.

Six geese to find them
Five gold rings to bring them all
And in the pear tree bind them

Attention omglolers…

You know what the world needs? Yet another note-taking app!

Why? Because I had the address “write.omg.lol” and I wanted to make something fun with it! (This is the way.)

Write is a notepad that saves your notes as unlisted pastes in your omg.lol pastebin. It can preview markdown. It has a distraction free mode. It has color themes. It has bugs (probably). It’s desktop size only right now but mobile is my next priority.

Check it out: https://write.omg.lol/

Playing with Write, a delightful web tool made by @bw and built on omg.lol! :prami_happy:

This is a model of how every web app should be: simple, reliable, and fun to use. I love it so much!

This from @adam in June this year is a good overview of why social.lol won’t be blocking Threads just for the sake of blocking them https://omglol.news/2023/06/28/meta-the-fediverse-and-omg-lol

“where our Mastodon instance is concerned, the community’s primary need is to simply be able to connect with their friends and families and chat about stuff online.”

The app stores are cracking open, walls between social media platforms are coming down as the old networks fail, the headlong rush to AI is making all the search engines worse, and the open web is more powerful than ever — we are about to see the biggest reshuffling of power on the internet in 20 years. Most users have never seen this kind of change.

My boyfriend got me the perfect Christmas gift! A royal blue vintage iMac from the year 2000 complete with box, discs, cables and booklets - in mint condition! I was looking for this for ages! 😭 🥹
