  1. Yesterday was SO exciting! I actually did #github stuff for the 1st time ever: learned what 'forking' was and what 'commits' are!

    Using github.com/abuseofnotation/fee I merged my #RSS feeds (so far I've got #Dreamwidth #Masto #Raindrop & put them into my #Neocities. The crowd in my head is going WILD right now!

    I used #Perplexity to help me along. Wondering if, in an ironic twist, ppl will use #AI for #IndieWeb endeavors like this rejecting #BigTech...

  2. For those who may be interested, this is my #Dreamwidth journal. I write about all sorts of things there. I have recently filled in many entries for this month, so even if you read it regularly, you can go back and review my new posts. If anything says "18+", you can just check the box that says you're over 18 (assuming you are, which you should be if you do that) and read it. Anyone may read and comment on my posts, whether he is a member of Dreamwidth or not. If you're over 21 and like what you see, please feel free to add me. Also, if you know of any fun surveys I can take, let me know so I can answer them and add them as entries.

  3. *Please only add me if you're over twenty-one.
    Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
    I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.*

    Hello. For the sake of honesty, Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I live in New Jersey and am forty-two years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, reading, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940-s and earlier, classical music, from Baroque through early Romantic, and popular music from the 1950's through the 1970's, along with some acoustic recordings. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. I am happily childfree, am not religious, speak my mind and am against political correctness. I also love cats. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

    This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

    This is my dating post on Mastodon, which is shorter than the one on Dreamwidth. It's somewhat similar to this one, but it contains an explanation of what I am seeking in a partner. If you are or know a genuine dandy, or at least, an intelligent, single, childfree man over sixty, please read the link below and/or pass it on to him.

  4. *Updated.*
    Hello. I joined Friendica in October of 2024, after Facebook closed their Basic Mobile site (not app). I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, British history, and the Regency. I like coffee, tea, wine, nasal snuff, cooking, hot baths, reading British literature, watching nature and historical documentaries, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I also love cats. In classical music, I enjoy Baroque through a bit of early Romantic, while in popular, I usually prefer 1950's through 1970's. I love theatre (especially English and Viennese operettas, Edwardian musical comedies), and some Regency/Georgian plays. I prefer antique menswear and accessories. It's my dream to either buy a genuine Edwardian suit or have one commissioned. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity. My parents are lesbians, and I am a huge gay rights supporter, but I stop short of using singular they and promoting the idea of more than two sexes, though you can certainly lean more towards one while being the other (as I do being a masculine woman), or change from one to the other via hormones, surgery etc. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.

    I am happily childfree and am not religious. I hardly ever write about politics. I tend to get along better with people older than I, but I will accept friends twenty-one and over. I have no understanding of chronic illness, anxiety, depression, loneliness, etc. I enjoy hearing about cats, cooking or gardening adventures, antiques, and interesting life stories.

    This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

  5. "Isn't it so interesting that Senator Wyden's Invest In Child Safety Act, which would actually make a meaningful difference in protecting kids online, has gone nowhere? Why, it's almost like none of this is about protecting children at all."

  6. Me to my husband just now: “It’s like an Occam folding editor!” as I try to explain cut/spoiler sections in DreamWidth blog posts. That won’t make any sense except to fellow computer scientists possibly of a certain vintage. But sharing for them! I can still vividly remember coding Occam in the Edge basement Sun lab on the Scores in St Andrews in the early 1990s.
