It’s a weird feeling watching “9-1-1 Lone Star”, which features a happily diverse cast and realising that since it was filmed, Texas has retreated so far into the dark ages that about half the characters couldn’t exist safely in Texas any more.

Good news, everyone. One of my cats starved to death last night, and has not stopped explaining this to me since I walked downstairs. However, he’s managed to drag his emaciated corpse to a food bowl, and he’s currently trying to recover. He’s assured me that he will continue to monitor the situation.

OK, but hear me out… a line of vaguely floral medical products called Catheter Kidson.

Today, I was asked to do a survey about my recent boiler service. At the end, they asked me if I’d found the survey helpful.

If I had. Their survey. Useful. In which I gave them information that I already had.

Yes, company. It was really helpful to me at this point in my life. Because up until now, I had wholeheartedly believed that there was no such thing as a silly question. #TodayILearned

So I was wondering whether to build comments on my new website. I thought the big issue would be spam, but with the new rules around user-generated content, it’s become an easy decision to say no.

Still working on turning my Blogger XML dump into something useful. There are several problems outstanding, but I have some progress made. The idea is to get to something I can put into Eleventy to make a blog section of a website.

I was trying to decide whether to support comments when I re-implement my blog. And there’s yet another spam comment on it. So I don’t think I will bother with comments.

I also want to document the process, but I don’t have a blog to talk about it on… quite the chicken and egg problem.

So I’m rebuilding my blog. Decided in Eleventy, so now I’m trying to mung the Blogger dump into something Eleventy will like. I also need to work out how to have a blog and a regular site under one hostname.

So I’ve decided to go POSSE, and I’m starting with moving my blog to a static site generator. Hopefully I’ll have some news soon.

So I’ve made a fair bit of progress trying to convert my blogger dump into something usable. I’ve got about 112 variously messy Markdown files out of about 970 I was expecting. It’s currently dying because something doesn’t have a title element,
