Colin Walker - Daily Feed

# Don't you just hate it when things suddenly stop working, seemingly for no reason, with no changes being made? When I switched from the live feed to the daily feed, it wasn't using RSSCloud to push updates. I added the required elements but it wasn't working. I jumped into Codex to see if it could shed any insight. A few changes were suggested but it still wasn't working. When the feed is built, it sends a ping to the rsscloud server which should then send a notification to anyone subscribe...

# Made a small change so that short posts don't get a full link card when sent to Bluesky, only a simple link. The card was overkill if the full text was included.

# Dave Winer blogged a response to Colin Devroe's post on Mastodon. Colin stated: I wouldn’t hold our breath that Bluesky will ever make the tech decisions we would want Amongst Dave's points was this: Maybe they can come up with something better organized and with more consistent interfaces. But the web doesn't work that way. Once it embraces a method of doing something, it goes on, and doesn't reconsider. I replied to Dave on Bluesky (of course 😆) with the following: From my perspectiv...

# Today is the first day on the new meds. While there are some possible similar side effects, I'm hoping for a more positive result; that my body doesn't reject them as it seemed to be doing with the sertraline. Citalopram has a higher bioavailability, so needs a smaller dose compared to sertraline. This should, hopefully, reduce the likelihood of having side effects. It can typically take 5-6 days for the sertraline to break down. It will also take 1-2 weeks for the citalopram to kick in. Th...

# Had my doctor's appointment this morning to discuss the side effects I've been getting with my current meds. It was agreed that having them start at this stage was not a good indication (especially as they don't seem to be as effective now) and that I should come off them. The question then was: what do we move to instead? Having previously been on Vortioxetine — and having to come off it the second time — that wasn't really an option. The decision was made to switch me to Citalopram, it's ...

# Last month, I mentioned that I wasn't sure how to feel about having no compulsion to return to World of Warcraft despite the next expansion 1 being imminent. It still feels strange. Not just not playing, but that I have no desire to play. Not even the curiousity to see what's changed. And there've been a lot of changes. I bring this up as the Race to World First 2 for this tier has just started. Normally, I would be excited, glued to livestreams of the top guilds playing; soaking in the act...
