Posting on Mastodon again. I think it is time to get Thunderbird on here.

Friends of Mastodon and Twitter: what methods are really boosting your productivity these days? Got books to recommend? I've been making a list of great techniques to implement into Thunderbird.

So many great services die at conception because all the good domain names are taken (and unused). Only half kidding, but I wish I could at least get hold of some of these folks to make them offers... :(

Visiting my sister in N.C. (Cherry Point, my brother-in-law is a Marine). Got to head to Shackleford Banks, an island where some wild horses roam free. Caught one chilling out, looking majestic.

PSA: Support open standards in tech. Otherwise you'll get locked into ecosystems that abuse you. Thank you - that is all.

For many folks it may seem like I've gone dark (though not completely offline) this past year. Was focused a lot more on normal life. Now I'm going to start talking more about what I'm up to. Read about it on the blog: https://blog.ryanleesipes.me/coming-back-online

I'm going to try and start posting on Mastodon more often again. Frankly, I wish I had better tools for cross-posting. Recommendations? I'd like to cross-post to/from Twitter.

It's been a while since I've posted on Mastodon. What's happening in the Tootiverse?

Sitting in the porch, in the beautiful Colorado weather, reading a great book.

Today I'd like to recognize @hergertme for his work on #GNOME Builder, and more generally #GTK and #GNOME. I've probably recognized him before, but I respect what he's doing. Good work Christian!
