I've been using MySQL for what must be 20+ years now. In that time, it doesn't seem to have gotten any easier to install. Might be even more complicated now with package managers instead of everyone installing from source.

I can't believe in 2022 I'm installing make from source. What is happening. Must've gone wrong somewhere in my life.

Out walking yesterday. Can’t remember if this was before, during, or after it was too hot.
This week's Micro Monday podcast features special guess @fabio:
We chat quite a bit on the hurdles of building community in the era of pandemic, how social media does and does not support communities, and how Micro.blog fits in.

Instagram’s transformation into QVC is now complete and absolute. Instagram is dead — or at least the Instagram I knew and loved is dead. It is no longer part of my photographic journey.
Instead he posts to his photo blog.

I stopped posting to Instagram over 5 years ago. "My good opinion once lost is lost forever."

Casey Newton has a write-up about BeReal. I remain perplexed about this app. It's fascinating, fun, but also gimmicky and buggy, and it's not clear to me how they can ever recoup the 💰 millions in investment.

Chuy’s patio. 🍸
We're working on a new version of Epilogue with a Discover tab, to show a grid of book covers from books people are blogging about. If you'd like to follow along, there's a public beta for iOS.

We like huge flags in Texas.
Working while the car gets an oil change and other service, outside at the dealer's covered patio before it gets too hot. Only 80° now, the usual high of 100°+ later. Counting down the days until we get out of Texas for a little while later this summer.

Hello, photo bloggers! I created a new plug-in that replaces your home page with a grid of photos and links for your other pages. No post text on the home page. Hope it's a good start for people who want to go all-in on photos. Called simply "Home page photos".

Posted Core Intuition last night. We start with a discussion about the latest ownership change for FogBugz, then thinking more broadly about services that work but that don't improve.

Just discovered The Wandering Inn, an epic 7-book (and counting) fantasy series that the author publishes on the web every week as new chapters are written. Essentially a massive blog, later collected as Kindle and Audible books. 📚

Finished reading: My Neighbor Totoro by Tsugiko Kubo. A short book, for kids or Miyazaki fans. Adds more details and scenes than the movie. Wonderful. 📚
