Weekly Wrap Up (2025.11.22)

Aye, I kind of have things to ramble about this week. Gaming I started on UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves. Its been on my list for a while. Its, kind of super awesome. Big chonkey robot combat, super cheezy old school anime plot and moments. I feel like the controls are maybe a little overly complex, but I can get used to it. Its also interesting how there are so many modes of gameplay depending on what is going on. Grendizer is a giant robot, but there is also a flying Space mode for when Grendizer combines…

WordPress Image Optimization

Something I've tried to do, then forgot I was trying to do, for while now, is to optimize the images across the WordPress sites I have.   It's actually just this one for me, and my wife's two old blogs she no longer really uses.  There are a variety of plug ins that do this, I believe all of them require subscribing to some sort of API.  I'm not spending \$100 to optimize my 22,000 images and I'm not going to remember to come back monthly to chip away at 500 free images per month. The thing is, I'm also, pretty…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.11.09)

I wasn't going to bother posting a wrap up this week, not a lot going on really.  No new music, no new toy stuff, I already wrote twice about my microblog code project (That's two links there)   In boring life news, I went and  finally set up an annual check up with a new doctor.  My old one retired, I kept putting it off.  Unlike everyone else in my house, I don't have any sort of critical or chronic conditions that really require a doctor (that I know of).  I can buy my Omeprazole OTC.   In sad news, we had…

Sharing Workflow

So, I wrote this, or at least, something like this, then sat on it for months, and now its out of date. Its GROTESQUELY out of date. The new/current system is way better thanks to this thing I had AI build. Its also a process that has sort of, evolved over time. It was a digest that posted daily on its own, but I didn't always share stuff, so it because one I shared randomly, then weekly, manually. Then it was attached to my weekly write ups. I may still use the wrap up, but now.it just shares. And it…

Code Project – Auto-Sharing Micro-blog

So I wrote a post a while back about my sharing workflow from Fresh RSS. Basically, as I read stories in my RSS Reader, I tag anything I find interesting. Then, sometime.on Friday or Saturday, I run a script that pulls all those stories, asks if I want to add commentary, and adds them to a queue that sits in a basic text file. Another script runs on a Cron job every hour and pulls pulls links and posts them to my Mastodon and Bluesky accounts. It also creates an archive file of everything posted. It also dumps an HTML…
