The Icarian Blog Returns – Corona Virus Edition

The Icarian

The Icarian blog is back. Again.

This Icarian iteration combines video, audio, writing, photography and illustrations in a retro early 2000s-style blog website format.

The Icarian is the web home of RDScally and The Obstweedles and their musical stuff. The Icarian is also the cyber home of the short film “Time Crime Adjudicator: The Case of The Missing Infinity Cube”, which is currently in production with a projected release date in late 2021. The video series “Ireland Inside & Out” also makes its web home here. Please check out the videos on YouTube and give them each a thumbs up.

Stay tuned for super-interesting (if we do say so ourselves, and we do) posts about The Obsteedles’ upcoming interpretation of Voltaire’s Candide – Gardening With Candide or The Optimist Grows It Alone.

This version of The Icarian blog is a word-of-mouth thing. The site itself will not be on Facebook or Twitter.
Email forwarding of posts is cool and encouraged. If YOU want to post a link tone of The Icarian’s posts on social media, that’s great and encouraged.
No social media links. No cookies. No ads. The Icarian does use YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp.com and email.
Since The Icarian is self-funded and there is no free lunch when publishing on the Internet, a Patreon account may soon appear here in an attempt to help “monetize” this nonsense.

Thank you.

The Icarian On Mastodon

My latest Recent Rulemakings Reviewed, for the month of May, is up on Yale JREG Notice & Comment.

And on that note, I think I've had enough internet for today.

I'm sorry, but the President of the United States insinuating that oil prices have been kept low because we're sneaking barrels out of Iran at night is *empirically* funny.

Testing posting images between Mastodon and Bluesky with Wallflower. My daughter's "Genius Hour" presentation on the NES.
Her history lesson is my childhood.

Made a run at polishing Wallflower. Still a long way to go, but cleaning up a lot of crappy little UI flubs.

Random thought today, for purposes of limiting the number of throws over permitted for a pitcher - why not just call them balls? You can throw over 4 times if you want, but the hitter walks.

Trying to think of a clever name for the pane in Wallflower where you can combine a bunch of Mastodon or Bluesky lists into one stream.
Leaning towards “Confluence.”

Should have sorted out the "Loading..." bug that was plaguing folks on Wallflower tonight. Give it another shot (and be sure to try logging in via Bluesky if you have time) when you have a chance/are so inclined.

Huge influx of attempted signups to esq.social by spam accounts. Other #mastoadmin seeing similar?

In furtherance of the quieter social media lens, witness Wallflower "editions." Since last visit, last 2 hours, last 6 hours, last day, or live. Sometimes you don't need to catch up on *all* of it.
