Interests: A New Sitelet https://rknight.me/blog/interests-a-new-sitelet/

@chrisburnell came up with the idea for a /interests page so of course I did one as soon as I could (https://rknight.me/interests/). He also made a directory: https://chrisburnell.github.io/interests-directory/

@robb Am I allowed to say that's an interesting concept? Feels too obvious 🤔

Is this something else that I need to do? lolol.

I generally get two types of people contact me on LinkedIn… marketers, and people asking for advice (or work).

But occasionally, someone will contact me about a job, so I need to maintain an account on there, even if I don’t update it all that often.

andycarolan,

@cyacyacya_nide Oh yes... there's plenty of that too. People reaching out to connect, with what appears to be no goal other than to pad their own numbers. I find the whole platform very false…and It's all very click-baity.

I do have some interesting interactions with some companies that I've worked with... like when they achieve something, or have bought a new piece of equipment to help their business grow.

There's a clear influencer culture there however.

@That_Damn_Frank Oh yes! I heard about that! How bizarre.

Anyone have anything fun to talk about today?

@mentallyalex Well, I started playing Super Mario RPG on my Switch. Love it so far!

How about you?

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mentallyalex Haha yes! I've saved a few Mushroom People so far. They seem grateful 🍄

Oh yes, I know those moments. I like to think that they are the calm before the storm!

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mentallyalex Haha, they really do get themselves into all kinds of trouble! Silly ‘shrooms

I definitely have to have things planned out with my work... but I think that's the same with any self-employed business. I've been doing it for so long now that I have a process that I follow.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mentallyalex Haha, very true about the toil!

Progress comes in many forms... sometimes I feel like I'm moving backwards. Other times, a breakthrough results in a new way of doing things. There's a lot of unstructured practice, many ‘happy accidents' as Bob Ross used to say. Much the same as any creative pursuit I imagine!

A business idea I had awhile ago was a platform that allowed you to self-bundle different streaming services. At the time, it felt like it would be impossible to get buy-in from streamers, but now…

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@humdrum I miss the days when the only streaming service anyone needed was Netflix. Now, tv has fractured into different paid services, each with adverts, or threatening to include adverts.

I’m not a car person (I don’t even drive) but this is a thing of beauty.

@macpsych IIRC I think those headlights turn as the car goes around corners don’t they?

I cannot believe that throughout Mastodon noone yet has mentioned Khan in this whole RFK brainworm news cycle

Khan from Wrath of Khan. An old angry space hippy with forceps - he gonna put worms in your brain

If you're a celebrity, don't just simply send your followers to "find" someone because she happened to be your fan when she was 10. My friend is currently being stalked and bombarded by strangers, and her Linkedin profile is shared everywhere. Unfortunately, she has to use Linkedin for work so this is making her highly uncomfortable.
Not all fans want to meet you, believe it or not!

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@liztai That's deeply inappropriate behaviour from a celeb. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if they were being stalked!

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@liztai Definitely way up there!

@maique A minister of health doing the right things during COVID seems to be a rarity! Fingers crossed that she's successful! Clearly has a good track record during a global crisis!

Having introduced @Helen to Flash Gordon (1980) at the weekend, we are now about to watch Barbarella (1968).

See you on the other side!
