The Expanse is back for season 3. I loved reading this series, but the television series does a great job of telling the story as well. 📺
Micro.blog has added another great way of creating content, a micro-casting app.
Micro.blog now supports hosting short-form podcasts, also known as microcasts, with a companion iPhone app called Wavelength for recording, editing, and publishing episodes.
I don’t know that I’ll ever start my own podcast. To have the option to create microcasts from a single app and have the platform to host it is a great feature for Micro.blog.
Micro.blog is growing and now with apps for photo-stories and microcasts, the platform is offering a one stop shop for those who want to consolidate a few different services into one.

Getting through some work while Ethan plays at Troon Links in a friendly match against Glasgow with the rest of the Renfrewshire boys.
Still not happy with layout of PenMuse. I’m thinking of moving to a fixed-width container as opposed to a full-width container.
Started using collections in Jekyll. Pretty powerful stuff.
Finding it difficult to shake off the shit-storm state the world is in this morning.
Back to blogging again. Good to get something out in the internets again.
Publishing a blog post today that’s been collecting dust for a couple of weeks now.
Might be great, might not be, that doesn’t matter. What matters is it’s out there.
Migrating Day One to Bear
This week I’ve started migrating my Day One entries to Bear. I initially wanted to omit all the tags for my Day One entries on the import, but I decided to leave them in. The reason for this is that although Bear uses these tags and will populate the sidebar with them, it will be much easier for me to migrate entries for each tag into Bear correctly.
I’m using a top-level tag of #journal for all my entries. Within this top-level tag, there will be some nested tags.
- Entries are tagged with the month and year. All tags in June of 2017 will have the tag
#journal/2017/06. - Special moments get their tag of
#journal/moments. - Other tags will be used as
#journal/drewand#journal/ethan.
With all the extra Day One tags now listed in my sidebar, I’ve now started the task of migrating these entries to use my new tagging system for my journal entries. I’m taking it a couple of tags at a time, and I’m already roughly a quarter of the way to migrating all these entries over.
It looks like a particular way of tagging these entries, but in the long run, it will be much easier to find everything as well as exporting a month or even a year of entries to another format so that I reproduce them in a better form.
