Go to some swampy ass place. Jet fuel can't burn well hydrated tree trunks.

chicago is on my list actually

Chicago....

i would turn into a puddle

Minnesota is good, it only gets smoky from the west coast fires like, one day out of five years.

i like cooler latitudes

I was going to say Atlanta but nvm

It just seems easier to spin up a wordpress blog instead of having to maintain software on your end just to do the same thing. But if you want penny sheets or xeroxed zines you could probably just print out a couple of copies of your writing and nail them to the front door of your local Alamo Drafthouse for something just as satisfying

So apparently zillion people agree with you since it is a very popular way of running a website. My hesitation about it is that it might be a bit too heavy for my purposes. My project is such that I could go full web 1.0 and full on just write html+css+javascript in a text editor. I could go that route, but I like some modern conveniences such as tags, archives ordered by date and so on.

With the risk of being pretentious, I'm thinking of Samuel Johnson style affair back when he published short essays as two penny sheets. Or something more contemporary like a xeroxed zine.

In the end I think I will research it and Jekyll and see which one I prefer.

The onlt issue with it being ugly is that my CSS skills are limited. But the static site is pure HTML, CSS, and a teensy bit of JavaScript (for rendering LaTeX).

I'd write pure HTML but I just get in a flow better with Markdown

Yeah it's the ugliness thing that makes me wary of following in your footsteps. That said it would be nice if I could turn my blog in to a ebook, like, instantly.

If you want to go the self-hosted route, there are a number of static-site generators out there with many themes available. As mentioned in this thread, Jekyll is one of them!

I can't recommend one because I ended up making one my own (just a script that uses pandoc to convert markdown to html) but it's ugly lol.

my friend uses dreamwidth for her book review blog and i think as a user you can create communities that act as separate blogs?

if you go the self hosted route i like jekyll for this purpose. you can host entirely on github pages which is where i host teatimer.site (although i don't use jekyll for that, it's too simple to need jekyll)

What about WordPress? It seems customisable and independent enough that you don't have to fuck around with likes and reblogs etc.

P.S. to see a first hand example of my level of techitude, see my custom styles for jstpst.net - Saturn Valley or something. I use it solely for this site and it imitates the save file and character creation screens of EarthBound. Also, mint green and light blue squares are objectively the most delicious looking background graphic possible. I would sincerely wear a t-shirt based on EarthBound save file and character creations screens!

Omg I just can't wait for Halloween!

thank you dt

me, going outside into 90 degree weather: ah, autumn

you made it!

Over? I 'ardly know 'er.

gonna be fall for about five months

Yeah it's fall now

clubhouse games is pretty basic but it might be nice if your mum isnt a hardcore twitch gamer

it's cute because both players play using the same DS, it's just a timing game where you each hold it, one player uses L and one uses R to hit the ball. Surprisingly good fun :D

i don't remember if i unlocked it on my copy but i'll try this!!!

if you're playing on an actual DS, the ping pong minigame in WarioWare Touched is silly and fun for a bit. Gotta unlock it first though and it's the only multiplayer part of that game iirc.
