Without a doubt, I write more blog posts when I use Drummer than other writing tools. I think it ha to do with the fact that I can see all of the day's worth of posts on the screen rather than fragmented across pages or even within "boxes" on a page. Something psychological, I guess. Like I am working on one document, although the paragraphs are disjointed. And I agree with Dave that there is less friction between writing and publishing.

On a whim, I opened
my Fedwiki Updates page in Firefox on the
Macbook Air and surprised to find that the roster now loads. Did I try loading that page in Firefox before? Maybe not because it still doesn't load in Chrome. Curious.

A Drummer scripting question. Can I write a script to copy the current outline node to another outline file? Right now I am publishing some of what I write in Drummer to both my
Old School, Daynotes site and to my main blog by coping what I write in one OPML file to the other OPML file. I think it would be handy to have a script to automate that task for me.

An observation. The 2020 edition
Macbook Air is one substantial piece of metal. Not only does it handle compute processing like butter, but it can probably stop a bullet and do serious damage if I used it to hit someone at the right spot. I don't think any computing device I've ever owned has felt this metallic.

I've been
monitoring the COVID data pretty much since it has been published, but I am embarrassed to admit that I just now found the
COVID ActNow site, which does the best job of presenting and explaining the data of all the other sites I've seen. Unfortunately, the
data for Michigan looks awful. The only good news for myself is that
the county in which I live has a lower vulnerability rating because of having a higher vaccination rate.

I've written before and I will say it again, the favorite feature of my micro.blog site is the
On This Day page. I really want to write a script that pulls the blog posts that I have written on a given day from all of my blog sites. I know that I could try to import my old blog posts in to the micro.blog site, but it feels like those posts should remain in the domain they where written in, though it does mean I have writing strewn all over the Internet. Sorry.

IF the date is between November and April AND you are in Michigan THEN you must get outside!!
