I am in the market for a Macbook. While I like and advocate Chromebooks, I recognize that all the cool software that I want to play with is only available for Mac. #
To use Drummer fully as a writing tool, I need to be able to create stories, which I think are standalone HTML pages that are not embedded in the blog. I would link to a story using a link type, such as I do below, or even write an intro blog post to link to the story. In the context of Dave's prior work, there is prior art: Fargo had support for a story publishing format, that was basically a blog based on post titles rather than on the Old School date format. Back then stories could even have their own header graphic, here is one of my favorite examples of a story that I wrote using Fargo and published with the Fargo Publisher.#
I don't see a way out, 50 million people are not going to change their minds any time soon. Democrats are too afraid to fight, so the DOJ will not do anything meaningful. When Democrats start putting Republicans in prison, then Republicans will start putting Democrats in prison because there is no more rule of law and everything is considered political. We will have to adapt and endure. Probably need to start to take a serious look at how normal people live in Russia and Hungary as that is the clear template for the Republicans. Still, I am shocked to find myself witnessing the end of democracy in the United States during my lifetime. By the time enough of those 50 million "patriots" realize what their allegiance is really to, it will be too late. It seems as though democracy and life on earth are in a death spiral. #
My weblogs that I wrote using Fargo from 2014 to 2017 are still online. I run the Fargo Publisher as the web server for the site, the HTML for which stored in a S3 bucket. The Fargo Publisher is needed in order to maintain the site navigation. Fargo used Dropbox for local storage, which means that all of the OPML files that I created in Fargo are all in my Dropbox account. This morning I imported the OPML for my old Webnotes blog in to Drummer, and looking at the OPML reminds me of how Fargo was different from Drummer. For starters, each "blog post" has a type=idea, which Drummer doesn't even know what to do with. Not sure I want to do it, but I could write scripts to convert those types to oultine.#
The picture below is hosted on a Digital Ocean App Platform site that is associated to a Github repo. It dawns on me that this can be a pretty easy workflow for hosting & sharing pictures to this site and others. However, it is also constrained by the total storage available to my free Github account. (However, it's not clear to me how storage is managed/billed in Github) I remain bullish about DO's App Platform. On the gripping hand, S3 would probably be cheaper for this type of thing, but would need to find an easy way to upload files to the bucket.#
