i used to love free writing when i was using 750words.com — i’d love for bitpost to utilise some of the analysis and sentiment word tracking elements from that, could be a nice little pro add on for a small $2 fee each month or something, i loved looking back on my week or month and seeing in the word cloud what vibe i was feeling, even if i didn’t know where my head state or emotions were at.
right now i’m pulled up behind a big blue freight van, out early because heck it’s the best part of the day, dropped off some supplies, picked up some, just one thing to drop here and i’ll be good to go for the rest of the day, some of my own morning analog chores and we right back in the game at the desktop.
i’m super aware that how i start my day sets me up for the rest of it, need to take a full day at the machine today to make sure that i’m still moving things along, yesterday was very much meerkat wednesday looking back on the week and realising that i’d not really done enough — maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s resources, inclination or big picture mind floating around up there just thinking on my feet but work rate is slow. I know it will turn around.
i’m not really one for “challenges” but i do like the forced writing ones, i say forced because you really do have to work it like a muscle, you have to exercise it, plus it breaks in my keyboard just that little bit more, it’s just starting to open up and i’m glad they finally got the keyboard right on these new m1 mac laptops — i heard bad things about the previous (butterfly?) ones.
ten minutes down, amazing how time flies right on past when your concentrating on something, that’s why i have to have some level of control over that in the day, a sprint time for a few hours, many times a day, between those analog chores and deep breaths that you need throughout the day, gotta keep this human engine moving along on the daily.
i couldn’t have it clearer down what i need to be doing, i’ve got at least 10+ mini courses that i can be recording, a bunch of NFT ideas ready to go from concept to actual graphics and output, layout designs for course creation, the whole works — i’ve got the hardware to do them just need to switch on that inclination chip and push forward.
sometimes i reflect hard on these last few years because of how everything changed because of the pandemic, i certainly promised myself that at the earliest opportunity i’d flip the script on where i was at and what i was doing, yet here i am, kinda existing still a little,. waiting for the signs that i can live a little bit more. i know that others are in a similar boat to me.
some are literally in a boat, trying to get from one shore to another one, the transport might be much different and the circumstances much more personal, deeper, scary but the sentiment is the same, travelling these days, through effectively clouds of an ever changing climate with a world wide pandemic still very much active.
in many ways it’s like a forced solitary confinement, but we are all living it together, separate spaces and rooms, delivery services automated and able to deliver at the drop of a hat by the working class who will glad take additional hours even if the pay is bad because inflation is crippling everyone — the big capitalist machine keeps on cranking out the supplies on a daily basis only hindered by politics, borders and climate damage limitation.
twenty minutes in, i’ll be able to drop these things in shortly, i’m expecting someone with a key at least to be here and we can do the “drop” i’m glad that i’m up early and can get a headstart on the day. I don’t know about you but every bunch of hours that i get before nine means that i’ve managed to carve out a bunch of time that i might not have gotten in the day.
I don’t think i’m ready to become that 4/5am machine yet of getting up way early, doing all the reading and meditation stuff again (i did try it for a while and i was really bad with my time usage, would have been good to do that in summer but never happened) and then finally getting started and into my day, getting a good sprint or two in before the working world logged in remotely and clicked on the green “online” here button.
oh one thing that i love about bitpost btw is the fact that we don’t have comments or voting, that’s such a smart move, i like that one way connection, we can always make connections through our social media anyway, i’m thinking of making a graphic(s) maybe today or tomorrow, at least before the thirty day starts to mark the occasion and share my socials in a clean way for people wishing to work together or interface.
in other blockchain social blogging projects i’d always get a bit frustrated at the ability of trolls and haters to downvote (hide) and leave just nasty comments. have you noticed that about the web in recent years? the amount of hate and manipulation is just rife.
It’s a stomping ground, from the mobile games you play, if it’s not cheats in general their is definite air of bot culture that formed, from fact accounts that never post content and leave shit comments to general fuckery — roll on personal AI filtering and frontends we can dynamically roll our own!
ok, i think i’m all written out for the moment, i’m not sure if anyone else get’s like that when they are free writing but i just know when i’m done, maybe it’s some ADHD attention span thing but if i defined at the start how long this post is probably going to take me then i try and sprint towards that time, it’s half past now, in my head i’m done, at any point i should be able to drop things and go go go! :)
Alright, i’m out, maybe i’ll come back and put a banner on this later (now wondering what the gif file size limit is on bitpost and how much that will put up the cost of my posts!)
