It's even worse than it appears.
Tweets, Markdown and RSS go well together. #
BTW, if you're linking to the Emoji short code cheat sheet from your site, please change the URL to this archive.org backup. Apparently the former owner let the domain lapse, and there's a huge ad for something irrelevant that makes it hard to find this simple and useful and very open source information. #
I've started bingeing Raised By Wolves on HBO. I like it so far into 3 episodes, and I hear it gets better. I have no idea why it's called Raised By Wolves, there are no wolves in the show (so far). The human kids are raised by androids. Here's something good/.interesting. It was liked by one person on Bingeworthy, Jake Savin, who is also considered the best match with me on BW. Jake said it was the Best. Aha I know I'm in the right place. 😄#
It could be that Putin gets to pick the day WW III starts. If so why wouldn't he wait till Tuesday so it can be a famous day -- 2/22/22. Just wondering about that while working on some tricky code. Yes, this is the kind of thing programmers think about.#
  • The project is coming along. Implemented so far... #
    • Tweets can have titles. Make the first character in a tweet a #. The rest of the first line is the title. #
    • Full Markdown support. Anything you can type in a tweet can be Markdown and will be rendered as it's converted to an RSS item. Markdown is ideal for where Twitter is at now. It a plain text environment, and that's what MD is designed for. #
    • Threads are rolled up into the first message, forming one RSS item. In RSS there is no character limit. And Twitter has a good thread composition tool built in. #
    • Emoji short codes. This was an easy one so I thought why not. 😄#
  • Not sure how I'll package it for release. I want to wait until the major coding is done before deciding that. #
  • Still diggin! #
  • PS: This post as a Twitter thread, and then as an RSS feed item.#
  • I have three AirPod Pro earbuds and two cases. #
  • One of the cases doesn't work, or it could be one of the buds. I don't know. #
  • I also don't know the rules about mixing and matching. #
  • I also have a set of Jabra earbuds I don't like as much, but they've been what I'm using. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
