Just found the Two-Bit History blog, and found myself saving pretty much every post to Instapaper.
Its Timeline page is a great idea.
Nice one @TwoBitHistory!

As a family we have now also watched MiB3. My wife says that was her favourite as it fills in some of the back story, but Abi and I still think it's narrowly beaten by the original as our favourite.

Every weekend we settle down to watch a family friendly movie that Abi hasn't seen yet. We watched Men in Black one and two back to back last night, so good, just great fun movies. Abi's favourite bit? The talking pug of course!

Listening to @cheesemaker on Micro Monday just now made me wonder when I first started blogging.
Turns out it was February 2002, via the now defunct CityDesk desktop application. In that first blog post I make mention of having been building some now long lost CMS of my own, I don't even remember that!

Decisions, decisions!
Hello, my name is Ian Jones, and this is my very first microcast.
I’m feverishly trying to learn Rust and brush up on Elm so that I can build a project with those two programming languages.
It occurs to me that it might be worthwhile trying to record my fumbling progress in the form of a microcast.
It would be very ad-hoc, no schedule, very much a journal for myself.
It’ll initially cover how I get on with learning Rust as I plan to build out a basic backend for the product first, then build out a basic frontend in Elm and iterate on both from there.
There will likely be rumination on the actual product idea too.
So I wonder, would anyone else be interested in listening, or should I just keep this journal to myself?
Decisions, decisions! 🤔
