I've been blogging since forever but the classic <Title>/<prose> style got stifling. When it looked like Twitter was going to hell in handbasket I implemented a "tumbleblog" that's a lot more free-form and where I don't have to have an entire concept before writing.
My blog has never led to any professional advancement, it's purely self-expression.

- gerikson 4y agoSure! It's announced here and the source is linked https://gerikson.com/m/2022/04/index.html#2022-04-28_thursday_01 https://gerikson.com/m/2022/04/index.html#2022-04-28_thursda... I based it off this solution, which is both in Perl and Python! <https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog https://github.com/john-bokma/tumblelog> The main draw for me is that the entries are in fortune file format (delimited by %) which means I just append to a file as a thought occurs.
