Creating this new post from my phone this morning while I visit the farm.

This test should return an accurate timestamp PLUS a valid “location” and “coordinates” from Drafts.

Thinking ahead, the “Publish Micropost to My Blog” script needs a couple more things:

• The “title:” field should automatically populate from the Draft title (first line) and it should be in TitleCase.
• Coordinates in Toledo or Tama (or other frequent stops) should get location tags without having to call the PositionStack API.

I modified the # solovyov.net blog post publish script giving it a new name of Publish Micropost to My Blog and so far it’s working nicely! It does not insert the location: or coordinates: values as I’d like yet, but stay tuned!

Yesterday I took a quick look at a notes-taking app called Obsidian. Very promising, but I’m already invested in Drafts (to the tune of $20/year) and it too has been rapidly improving. So, I joined the Drafts Community and started looking for some guidance. Today I’m going to try implementing one or two things based on Generate Static Site from Drafts Notes. Wish me luck!

Just dropped Emily and Natilie (2 international Grinnell College students) off at DSM for their holiday travel home. Ivan, our 2024-25 FIS student from Bulgaria, is with me for a geocaching lunch/holiday event at Pizza Ranch. After this a little geocaching then I’ll drop Ivan at DSM for his flight home and I’ll head for home before it gets dark on this shortest day of the year.

Camping and riding my new e-scooter at Caching and Camping event(s) around Lake Wapello State Park this weekend. Hit my 10,000th cache found on Friday in Ottumwa. Starting a new GLP-1 regimen with 2.5 mg of Mounjaro (at a reasonable price) injected Sunday in the right side of my stomach.

Using guidance found in Custom content types in Hugo to advance my micropost collection. Might need to re-visit https://workingcopyapp.com/ and check it out again. Better yet, check this out: https://cothinkers.substack.com/p/guide-publishing-to-hugo-jekyll-remotely-via-ios !

Just registered (twice) for GeoWoodstock. SummittDweller bought the Brook Trout package ($50). Landmark is too cheap and went for the free registration.

Got my first 0.25 dose of Wegovy started (finally) this evening at 8 PM.  Not difficult or painful at all.  Injection site was in my right leg, upper thigh.
