I was looking for that sometimes watch face when you need a break - and need to be reminded.
github - the time is now - I’d really like to be able to make this for the Apple Watch line. It was the reason I bought the first Apple Watch.

I’ve been looking to make blogging from org-mode on my mac happen ever since I started using org-mode. Reason being is that while I love learning about all the new frameworks, what I really want is a stupid easy way to write then type a few commands and my writing appear on my site. Now that I’ve repeated the process a few times - installing, configuring, breaking, fixing, breaking again, uninstalling, reinstalling - the way I learn best - I’m happy to share the exact steps I took to get here. These are should be repeatable and simple steps using mostly defaults so there’s less stuff to worry about backing up in case you have to nuke the site from orbit.
Well, most of it anyway - I wanted to buy ahugeevergrowingpulsatingbrainthatrulesfromthecentreoftheultraworld.com, but had to settle for ahugeevergrowingpulsatingbrain.thatrulesfromthecentreoftheultraworld.com.
I learned something in the process: there is an upper limit to the number of characters in a domain name. And not just the domain, but each ‘label’ as they are called, being either subdomain, domain, or top level domain (TLD).
63 characters.
I think I broke half of the domain registrars when trying to buy it.
Update - - I just also found out about The Santa Clara Principles - it’s not exactly what I’m thinking about, but it’s interesting as a model and has input from the EFF, ACLU, and The Brennan Center for what it’s worth.
I’m thinking about building a piece of software…more than that actually. Been designing it for a while now and there are certain values I’m trying to bring to the project. Things to do with what I want and feel is right around privacy, data-ownership, security. Values that I want the software I buy and use to hold as well. It got me thinking that I’d like to sign some kind of pledge of user-goodwill on topics like these.
