Después de haber estado usando la maravillosa plataforma de blogs Write.freely durante un par de semanas ahora, finalmente me encontré con una bonita página de documentación (idioma francés). Desearía haberlo visto antes, ya que no encontré mucha información de la que aprender cuando empecé.
La Guía fué preparada por Ange, y tenía como objeto ayudar a las personas interesadas en utilizar la instancia write.freely en TeDomum.net — que ha sido el hogar de toda mi escritura en blogs hasta ahora.
Modern browsers have a lot of power and display content pretty well. But even for the general user, they need some essential add-on Extensions to complement and make life in the Web saner and more comfortable.
Examples?
Ad removing.
Password tracking.
Tracking blockers, etc.
I have used some of these on the screenshot above for years, while others are newer, discovered recently, when needing some extra, some control or a streamlined experience.
Letter to a Friend, describing how a project came to be :
Later in the day, I relaxed to some nice music, and wrote a reply letter to K., who is my penpal via the wonderful Slowly app. She is cool, a great writer and reader, interested and following my blogging closely.
Poor K. will be getting another LONG letter, but she will know the main reason for such length and detail is that I thought it would work equally well for a Blog post.
Describing the whole process I worked thru, from a raw webpage View Code, HTML source, through the various steps to turn it into an editable and nicely formatted Blog post.
Wish I had seen it earlier, as I did not find much information to learn from when I started.
The Guide was prepared by Ange, and meant to help people interested in using the write.freely instance at TeDomum.net — which has been home for all my writing in blogs so far.
Since there's not much documentation, I thought it useful and an interesting project to take Ange's Guide and prepare an English translation, post it on my blog and spread the word.
May you find peace in the
promise of the Solstice night,
That each day forward is
blessed with more light.
That the cycle of Nature,
unbroken and true,
Brings faith to your soul
and well-being to you.
Rejoice in the darkness,
in the silence find rest,
And may the days that follow
be abundantly blessed.
Just now finished writing a letter to a good friend, a Japanese lady who is my penpal via the wonderful Slowly app.
My friend sent me a nice letter and described some local customs, including the one that explains the image above:
It will be Winter solstice day tomorrow, 22nd. The winter solstice is the day on which the day is shortest, and the night is longer of a year. In Japan, there is an old belief that on the winter solstice, taking a bath with yuzu (a type of citrus) will help a person to stay healthy through a cold winter. So, I bought a pack of yuzu at a grocery store today.
Reminiscences from a visit to the Archeology Museum
This post is a transcription of a series of un-edited Toots, a conversation in the Mastodon network in December, 2019. It was motivated by a series of Toots earlier that morning, posted in sucession by Anarchiv, @anarchiv@todon.nl.
I am grateful to him for his great story telling in a new medium, which reminded me of an experience I described later that same morning; in my own series of Toots.
And now here, in a blog post format, richer with added formatting and more references, images. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Just now finished writing a letter to a good friend, a young lady who is my penpal via the wonderful Slowly app.
As I wrote, and described what goes on with me, my thoughts turned to it could be a nice post to include here, today's blog du jour. So, why not?
I even mentioned that in the letter, which did not contain any personal info that would be untactful to share in a public venue like this. So, here we go!
