sent out his monthly ⪮ Good Morning newsletter earlier this week. You can learn how to peal a mandarin into the shape of a rabbit and other interesting links. With twitter teetering on tragedy, be sure to subscribe to never miss an episode. optional.is/newsletter/s01…

hm… blocked a bunch of people for NTF spam replies this week. They have reappeared in his mentions. Went to block the,pm and they already were blocked… the wheels are starting to fall off around here. Basic stuff doesn’t seem to be working any more. 🤷🏻‍♂️

16 years ago, sent out his first tweet!

published some #weeknotes last Friday covering 614 & 615: optional.is/required/2022/… This week is #616, which is one of his favorite numbers. It is the TRUE number of the beast, 666 is a later mis-translation! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of… Everyone afraid of 666, it should be 616. 👹

sees there is only 1 month left in the year. Have you printed your 02023 wall calendar yet? We make a nice A-series poster with all the Icelandic holidays and old months. Print your copy locally and may your 02023 be organized! github.com/optional-is/ca…

published his #weeknote for #616. It's the week of the Mark of the Beast 👹! One of his pet-peeves if the superstition of 666. Partly because it's the wrong number! It was a mistranslation for 616 - that's the true number of the beast. optional.is/required/2022/…

is now a legacy verified account and may or may not be notable. 🎤🫳🏻

is on a tiny local 🐘 (neighborhood) with a crazy Unicode escaped URL. Loving the local tab. Will probably fly well under the radar for while. Sure hopes in the last 16 years on this site never mention his, a friends’ or linked to an interesting site now on the banned list. 🤮

lived in Edinburgh long enough to recognize the top of Usher Hall, Lothian Road, St Mary’s Cathedral and that general Scottish look. This is taken from the castle. maps.app.goo.gl/v41DhFLWgyY7q5…

wonders where you complain when your local mastodon instance goes down?

At some point, 10+ years ago, someone registered @buhdasuda using a variant of his gmail address (without the full-stops). Last month someone was trying the password reset. (Just ignored it). They managed to get in, because today got this suspension email!

The Twitter API changes tomorrow (Feb 9th) an no word about the new restrictions, costs or what a free plan entails.
