These boats need some TLC, though.

Several boats are grounded on a grassy and muddy shoreline near a blue houseboat, with a calm water body and buildings visible in the background.

Down by the coast is the best place to be in this heat.

A calm harbor scene with boats docked and floating in the water, colorful buildings in the background, and a person on a small boat near the shore.

My inbox is down to 10% of where I started - at 50 e-mails. Coffee time, and then I start catching up on invoices and diary management.


Ugh. I have unanswered email going back six weeks. I really did lose control of my diary.


Now, can I still post?


OK - about to nuke the newer of the two accounts. Hopefully I’ll still be able to post afterwards…


One micro-blog account, twice. A seemingly irresolvable issue.

I’m a bit at a loss as to what to do with my account here. Due to some weirdness, I’m paying for it twice, once as a blog only account, once as a blog+podcast account.

It’s more than just the cash, though, it’s also the fact that I essentially have two accounts under the same name, each building up their own (separate but overlapping) sets of content.

My tickets to support are going unanswered.

I enjoy micro.blog, but not so much that I’m happy to pay twice for one service, which is what’s happening now. And meanwhile, every time I post, I don’t know which content bucket it’s going to end up in. So the pain of untangling the situation gets worse - and that makes me really reluctant to post.

I suspect my only solution now is to backup both accounts, nuke one of them, and try to figure out which one went, and import that one’s back up.

Wish me luck.

If you ever hear from me again.
