A little while ago I decided to try to get back into blogging a bit more seriously. Once upon a time, I was a regular writer via my own personal blog - over time, that diminished as I got more involved with microblogging, or just got more and more busy with other tasks. However, I realised that I had the most personal satisfaction when I was in a habit of writing and sharing online in a more thoughtful and consistent manner.
So, I decided to set myself the #100DaysToOffload challenge; and then, #Blaugust2024 came along, and I tied myself in to that series of challenges, as well. As a result, I'm on a 42 day writing streak over on my personal site. I also gave it a bit of a "glow up" over there.
Some things you may have missed, that could be of interest to the audience here on DEV - this is a short list out of the ~50 posts from the past 42 days...
- Glitchy love, in praise of Glitch.
- Art and Algorithms, vs AI, about the terminology used around creative coding and art.
- MNT Pocket Reform: first impressions, about a new open hardware laptop, which hit #2 on Hacker News and was a viral moment!
- Learning about the ATmosphere, about a talk I attended on ATProto.
- Return of the Ogg(Camp), announcing a big Open Source and Open Culture event in the UK in October.
- Somewhere in the (M5)Stack, debugging an M5Stack Core device.
One of the challenges for me is knowing how and when to syndicate between my blogs. I have this one on DEV which has primarily been for coding and development, and also some more posts over on Medium as well. In both cases I haven't usually kept copies of the same content on my personal blog.
I think I'm going to try to bring my DEV and Medium content "home" to my personal site, and import older posts from here over there, and then be more thoughtful about my POSSE (Post Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere) pattern of sharing. I'm not going away from DEV, though.
