Powercoders

This is a short entry about Powercoders, but it's also a test post to see if crossposting to my DreamWidth journal works. I apologise greatly if you see it multiple times, or in oddly distorted forms.

Hmm, the RSS feed only contains the intro of each post, not the whole post. I have this vague memory that we set it up that way on purpose, but I don't know what it was! (My blog runs on Bumble, a blogging engine cooked up by David and me. Development is ongoing.)

I wonder how annoying it would be to have to click through to read the main post every time, and whether anyone would do it.

Also, the links in the intro here did not come through as links. Presumably other HTML would be stripped as well. Hmm.

Crossposting

I'm about to try setting up automatically crossposting from my blog (katzenfabrik.cat) to this journal, using IFTTT, RSS and posting-by-email. Thanks to [personal profile] iguana for the suggestion. Apologies if it causes weird spam!

While I'm at it, I'll try importing my old LJ entries over here and closing up that account.

I've been feeling more and more dissatisfied with Twitter, and though I love some of the communities I've wandered into on Tumblr, it's become clear that the infinite scroll of images and emotions there doesn't work very well with my brain. :( What I'd like is to transition to slightly calmer, more text-based social media, probably DW and Mastodon (I'm katzenfabrik@cybre.space).

("But Rae, you hardly ever write on here *or* on your blog." I'm hoping to improve that, somehow! After New Year I'll have a few months working at 80%, so I should be able to do a lot more writing, blogging and coding on my free day of the week. And solve world hunger. And world peace. You know, the stuff that falls by the wayside when you're working full-time.)

Update: Hilariously, my first post over here was nearly a year ago, and promised that I was going to start this crossposting. I have a long lead time, apparently.
