All the Little Free Library books were taken overnight. Happens once a year somehow. My faith in humanity is dinged, while my hope for literacy carries on. Libraries forever!
1,000 Books served at our Longfellow Villa Little Free Library since 2002. Thanks to neighbors who share & read. Books logged with Library Thing displayed on site at Longfellow.Life

Buh Bye Google Domains

Finally finished transferring domains out of Google before migration to Squarespace. Porkbun has been handy to use as a new registrar, especially the External Domain feature to set up DNS before transfer to eliminate any downtime or anomalies. Porkbun was recommended here on Micro.blog. Thanks!

Didn’t realize how much I depend on LibraryThing on a daily basis until I couldn’t scan my Little Free Library additions yesterday. Why a DDOS attack against them??? They’re back up today, and we’ve now logged 927 books over 1-1/2 years. www.librarything.com/topic/353…

Attended the Center for Photographic Studies on Main Street in Louisville a few blocks from the Old National Bank, site of a tragic mass shooting yesterday. Documented club & street life on the funky old West Main strip way back in 1975. So sad, we must change.
8-1/2 inches fresh snow this morning in Minneapolis.
Reviving Help Desk service on my indie web & publishing consulting biz to manage client email threads & workflow. Freemium SASS solutions abound all the way up to Atlassian Jira, a massive platform. Instead, opting to own data & massage GPL code with solid WordPress plugin WSDesk by ELEX.
It looks kinda Secure with just a tiny lock (not really), but a big mail slot on the side allows an arm to reach in. March Photoblogging Challenge Day 1 #mbmar
So today someone left a bunch of crappy opened artificial flavor gift tea boxes in our Little Free Library. Really??? Time for a reminder sign, that our library is for books. 📚
Finally moved the last domain out of SiteGround, after moving all websites out last year. They were a good cheap semi-managed WordPress host years ago. Now it’s clumsy, limited and costlier. Happily using affordable Cloudways with automated containers.
