I am working on  the blog improvements.

I have the change in my local copy to make new users guests,  not full members.

Now I am working on warning about refreshing the page if there is a partially-entered post.

Once I have both working (probably not tonight), I will give some notice and push the updates. 

When I do so, the site won't work for a few minutes.

Thanks Kosh. I’m using an iPhone to blog here which may explain the brevity of my posts but as far as I can tell all the functionality is here should I just learn to use it. I need to get a real computer or better yet a new laptop so I can better blog here with you good folks. Working on that.

The platform  I  use for this blog (ASP.NET MVC) uses bootstrap.js, which has built into it, the ability to deal with mobile  devices with no  extra effort from  me.  It is  a much more modern platform  than  Bare used.

Thus, it works well with phones. And I did not have to do much to make it work with phones.

That's what I had last night, if by homemade you include the nice folks at Persepolis. Just finished the leftovers, and now I'm watching Touch of Evil.

ABC is showing Black Panther commercial-free. Evidently this actor I had barely heard of until he died has now been elevated to sainthood. He seems to have been a good actor and a fine human being. I just can't help but wonder if he's getting the gold-plated casket treatment to take the focus away from Jacob Blake, George Floyd, etc.

The very public lamentations over this actor’s death are, indeed, strange... or would be, if he were of a different hue and/or times were normal.

I've got a spare older macbook pro laying around gathering dust.

Still works if you doing email and online stuff it's still in good shape.

If you are interested let me know.

My impression exactly.

Times are indeed abnormal, for sure.
