It’s been about eight years since I configured this blog. The previous post was from 2017. (Not sure if the Disqus comments still work - try it out if you’re reading this.)
Why haven’t I been posting?
Laziness, sure. But also, I never set up a proper workflow for it.
One thing that always bothered me was manually writing the timestamp for each post. Found a VSCode extension, Insert Date String by Jakub Synowiec, that handles this (link).
Another improvement: the Paste Image extension by mushan (link). Makes it easier to paste images into posts, automatically putting them into a directory you configure.
This doesn’t help me blog from my phone or iPad. But it’s a start.
I’ll leave you with this photo from Geinoujin Kakuzuke Check 2025 O-Shogatsu Special, with Tsuyoshi “BIGBOSS” Shinjo crawling through the door reserved for losers.
One thing we could probably all take from BIGBOSS: don’t take yourself so seriously.
Here’s to 2025.
