Added one of the oldest requested features to Micro.blog today: editing the slug for a post. There’s a new page for managing URL paths. A couple other things will go here later, like batch delete, to avoid cluttering the main editing interface.

ChatGPT Pulse is my favorite product of the year. It’s expensive, but it’s the first new thing I’ve seen in software in years. Love reading about what it’s come up for me each day. Here’s a snapshot, because it knows I’m thinking about Spain. (And if I scroll, it has actual work / code topics too.)

We’ve been going through old photos this week. I always smile looking at this one of me and my mom, from around 1980. I look so funny.

Quick update on today’s TV show rollout in Micro.blog, added a new button to make it easy to link to the entire season, not just one episode. Here’s a screenshot.

We added new settings for your profile page today. By default Micro.blog thinks about most everything as public on the open web, but adding more control here feels right and is consistent with some of our fediverse settings. Here’s a screenshot:

Picked up my car from the repair shop. Nice new bumper and paint, “like new” for a 2008 car. Itching to drive somewhere.

Laughed a little when I saw this sign yesterday. I’ve been taking this elevator a bunch over the last week and it always shakes and rattles like maybe you’re lucky when it successfully makes it back to the first floor. Came back at night and it seems fixed. 🤞

A couple thoughts after trying ChatGPT Pulse. How it works and a subtle shift in sending traffic to websites.
