On the homestead blog: starting the last month of Flock Fridays. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓


Fun fact: I have a TextExpander snippet to write the Throwback Thursday text, that automatically includes the appropriate week number and year, thusly:
#! /bin/tcsh
set w=`date +"%U"` ; set y=`expr 1969 + $w + 1` ; echo "For week/year $w of my 52 years celebration, from ${y}: . #ThrowbackThursday #52years"
Which outputs:
For week/year 31 of my 52 years celebration, from 2001: . #ThrowbackThursday #52years
For week/year 31 of my 52 years celebration, from the year 2001: Jenn and me on a beach in New Zealand, shortly before we moved to the US. #ThrowbackThursday #52years

I’m still working on getting my new Sinclair Trails blog set up. The site is operational, but there’s a configuration issue that prevents posting to the blog via MarsEdit. I’m working with my hosting provider to fix it, but they’re rather slow.
The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question: it’s a “Cable-It” cable organizer, to combine multiple wires into a tidy bundle, using a zipper tool to insert the cables into the conduit.



Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? #WhatsItWednesday

I’ve just created a new blog for my and Jenn’s RV adventures. The SSL certificate is still in the works, and more posts will be coming once the site is fully operational, but here it is: Sinclair Trails.
Robot or Not podcast 📡 #MediaMonday
A short podcast where Jason Snell asks John Siracusa to define concepts and words. Originally about if something qualified as a robot, now about all sorts of things. Fascinating and entertaining.
