Stick with me long enough and you'll figure me out. I'm running twtd on an Alpine Linux VPS, and mostly post through Twtxt.app. I'll probably leave if it gets too popular.

   @prologic yeah had a squiz. Looks really good! I've been with Zola for a while, but thinking of starting afresh with something new

   The voices that travel across the alleyway from the BnB apartment at drink-o'clock are hilarious. One week a bunch of man-childs "rargh rarghing" to the footy finals, another week a bunch of women-childs (wives of man-childs maybe?) speaking a language I simply don't understand. God we're pests when we gather in our flock.

   Ah yep what meillo has done was how I saw it. But I see the limitations now. I think for me a small SSG is still the best next step up, just thought there might've been something I was missing in the middle ground. Twtxt is pretty sweet that you can technically use it for longer form writing anyway. Guess it's all about what we're trying to achieve.

   If twtxt is for micro-blogging, what would be the macro-blogging solution that best fits the twtxt philosophy? Something not quite a static site generator or gopher hole? A folder of txts?

   Back in the city for a few days, staying again with family. Glebe markets. Think I'm over markets. Junk I don't need. Used to like a proper farmers market where I could get a good load of veg, bread and meat. I got a gozleme. Overpriced but somewhat filling. They're always so hot, straight off the cast iron metal cooking plates, but I don't have the patience to let it cool when hunger is taking over. Went across the road into Sapho's second hand bookshop, a place I can spend hours on any given day, and bought two books I also don't need - one a book on books, The Gutenberg Elegies by Sven Birkerts, and the other, an expected slide into depravity, Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. Happy to kick my feet up now in the cool of these four walls as the after rains sun starts to make it a little uncomfortable outside. There's a restlessness in me though, maybe a hint of homesickness, or a guilt of not travelling a bit more abroad with my time I've made for myself. Nevermind, a small trip west next week is on the cards, and a loose date for my return to NZ is approaching.
