Well that's cheered me right up.
The thing about echidnas is if you stand absolutely still, they don't notice you.
Beans and Millie would like to lodge a "No, thank you" though.

Managed a couple of shots in totality during a break in the clouds. This is "as is" from the camera.

Oh hey, do you (yes YOU) publish toots on a regular theme (art, fiction, particular niche interests)? Would you like to archive them to a searchable blog and/or RSS feed?

I wrote a program to do that. The tl-dr is that I use the "Hugo" blogging engine which compiles markdown files into blog posts on a static site (no wordpress, no database, no hacking surfaces). Then I use this script that I wrote to search my mastodon and make new markdown files for any new toots. I run it once with -- count=0 to get all matching toots forever, then daily with --count=14 to update the last two weeks' toots (refreshing likes etc, on recent posts). Then it's the standard compile-the-blog-and-push-it-to-the-server process.

The same process can also be combined with Matt @mattgemmell Gemmel's github.com/mattgemmell/pandoc-… to turn a collection of toots into an e-book.

Intro

Hi All,

You may know me from other productions such as @david@theblower.au ; @david@photog.social or @david@bne.social and @david@pixelfed.social

Yes, ok, I seem to collect accounts all over the place.

Anyway, I hail from SE Qld, and dabble in blacksmithing, cooking, photography and other things while also working in IT. I've not played around with friendica (amazing really, since I used to have a diaspora account way way back), so I'm mainly here to poke around and see what it offers.
