It's a rainy day in Melbourne! 2025-03-28T23:54:00-04:00 Just watched 'How To Train Your Dragon' ... again. Love that movie. 2025-05-20T21:41:13-04:00 Okay, time for me to automate this thing, so that I will update it more often. 2025-05-21T20:23:44-04:00 Summer is here, long live summer! 2025-05-23T20:20:14-04:00 Do I stick with my local time, which makes it clear what time of day - for me - that I'm posting? 2025-05-25T21:12:00-04:00 RSS 2 - or Atom? Atom looks so much more sensible. 2025-06-07T00:26:00-04:00 Watched the Matrix - for the third time. It's one of those if you start watching, it is kind of hard to stop. 2025-06-12T00:50:00-04:00 Having a go at learning toki pona. 2025-07-06T22:00:00-04:00 Yesterday watched the first stage of Tour de France. Today watched Stage 2, before going for a 10 km run. 2025-07-15T23:00:00-04:00 I love summer with the sun setting so late and twilight being even later. 2025-07-16T00:00:00-04:00 I have been fairly consistent either taking a walk or going for a run ( sometimes both ) each day this month. 2025-07-26T00:00:00-04:00 Beautiful summer day! Sunny blue sky, large white clouds, mid-summer green! 2025-08-14T00:00:00-04:00 It's NOT late summer - it's late mid-summer! 2025-08-21T00:00:00-04:00 Even though the peak is past, the Perseid meteor shower is still visible, especially with the moon near new. 2025-08-24T17:50:00-04:00 One reason that I love summer is that the days are long, the sun sets so late, and it's still light for a while after it sets. 2025-08-27T23:10:00-04:00 For some time I've been trying to spend a fair amount of my running or jumping time in Zone 5, the hardest. After a little research I'm learning that maybe I should be concentrating more on Zone 4 instead. 2025-08-27T23:11:00-04:00 Which is good, because Zone 5 is killing me! ( okay, not really but ... ) 2025-08-28T22:51:00-04:00 Reading something spaghettycat wrote on tilde.green has got me looking into the xmpp protocol. 2025-08-31T21:17:00-04:00 Last day of August. The summer months are my favorite. Hate to see them end. The silver lining is that the skies will start getting clearer and less hazy at night. 2025-09-01T12:34:00-04:00 Time for Super September! What can I do to make this month be more than ordinary? 2026-03-21T20:58:00-04:00 It is spring time! Here in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway. Some tree blooms have already come and gone. 2026-05-02T18:40:00-04:00 The days are long and warm, there is so much green! I'm calling it the start of summer, even if most people will say it is still springtime. 2026-05-17T20:15:00-04:00 I'm thinking about making a simple flash card / spaced repetition app of some type. And I mean simple. 2026-05-19T21:10:00-04:00 I've started my summer journal already. 2026-06-16T22:46:00-04:00 There was an event being held at the lake, so I couldn't do my run there. Came home and jumped rope for 81 minutes! I wil be sore tomorrow, but it was worth it. 2026-06-16T23:31:00-04:00 Been doing my summer journal elsewhere, forgot about this. 2026-06-17T20:31:00-04:00 Apparantly we will be getting some serious storms on Thursday. Lots of rain and wind. 2026-06-18T14:13:00-04:00 Nightfall Shore resident balloon has been doing a lot of work improving the district! 2026-06-18T14:14:00-04:00 balloon added a twtxt central page, including a timeline. 2026-06-18T14:48:00-04:00 Got my daily 'summerdoro' ( walk during the summertime, admiring nature, meditating ) in before the rains started. 2026-06-19T15:17:00-04:00 Ran 3.25 km ( 2 miles ) at the lake but it was 30 degrees ( yes I use Celsius ), sunny and humid. 2026-06-19T15:18:00-04:00 So instead of killing myself trying to be healthy, came home and jumped rope. Which nearly killed me. 2026-06-19T18:42:00-04:00 Is everyone watching the FIFA World Cup? USA advanced today, beating Australia. 2026-06-20T20:24:00-04:00 My sister in Texas stepped on a Coral snake last night. They are poisonous but rarely bite. 2026-06-21T18:51:00-04:00 Today is the solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. 2026-06-22T20:21:00-04:00 Nothing says summer like a quick thunderstorm. 2026-06-22T20:54:00-04:00 It is funny that it can be raining in one place, and not raining just a few meters away. 2026-06-22T22:16:00-04:00 Ran at night for the first time in months. So very humid! But I plan to keep doing it. 2026-06-22T22:46:00-04:00 Think that I"m going to embrace Ruby for a while. There is so much that I like about it. 2026-06-23T22:14:00-04:00 Ran 3.25 km, started about an hour after sunset. Felt good but stopped there because it is so hot and humid. 2026-06-24T21:11:00-04:00 Couldn't post on Nightfall City Shore for almost 24 hours. That is rare, but is enough to make me think about starting my own. 2026-06-25T18:06:00-04:00 The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. --Marcus Aurelius 2026-06-26T16:01:00-04:00 Ran 4.5 km (2.8 miles) at the lake, middle of the day, 31 degrees! I'm a glutton for punishment. 2026-06-27T17:04:00-04:00 Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. 2026-06-27T19:03:00-04:00 Just checked and realized that four of my older posts are over the 140 character recommendation. I will be more careful! 2026-06-28T00:32:00-04:00 As long as you live, keep learning how to live. --Seneca 2026-06-28T23:21:00-04:00 No surprise, we are under a heat advisory this week. 2026-07-01T01:41:00-04:00 USA advanced at Fifa. 2026-07-01T01:42:00-04:00 But wow. The United Nations says that it could be 10,000 people dead from the earthquakes in Venezuela. 2026-07-02T19:12:00-04:00 @ Nekoweb is great example of how the web can be people oriented. 2026-07-02T20:06:00-04:00 How do you know that it is summer? It is late afternoon, it is raining, and yet it is over 32 degrees! 2026-07-03T17:21:00-04:00 Way to hot to run at the lake, so stayed inside and jumped rope for 85 minutes, half of it in the red zone. 2026-07-03T22:06:00=04:00 Balloon/Fu-sen - the 最も勤勉な人 on the internet ( or at least the smolnet ). ( hardest worker ) 2026-07-04T18:49:00=04:00 I like how GabesArcade is excited and embracing the twtxt. 2026-07-06T20:30:00-04:00 Jumped rope last night for 32 minutes. Probably will keep doing that instead of running while the heat wave is on. 2026-07-07T23:02:00-04:00 Went ahead and ran 3.56 km after sunset. Very humid, but I felt better afterward. 2026-07-10T14:23:00-04:00 Wow. Another full day couldn't update on Nighfall. Time to decide where to mirror this. 2026-07-10T14:27:00-04:00 Yesterday's Stage 6 of Tour de France showed who is the world's greatest cyclist. 2026-07-10T14:52:00-04:00 @ The updated list is far more manageable! 2026-07-10T17:02:00-04:00 @ Go for it! But I have a head start! :P 2026-07-10T17:04:00-04:00 Jumped rope for 72 minutes, 47 minutes in the red zone, 41 minutes listening to Dvorak's Symphony #9. 2026-07-11T18:32:00-04:00 @boxofjoe - if you haven't already, you might want to look at the bottom of @balloon's page about the troubles posting on Nightfall. 2026-07-13T19:09:00-04:00 Right after sunset the cicadas, tree frogs, and other creatures start what I call the Summer Symphony. 2026-07-13T19:39:00-04:00 A few years ago I read 'Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window'. English translation, of course. Enjoyed it. 2026-07-13T19:40:00-04:00 A sequel to 'Totto-chan' came out a few months ago. Might be time to read it. 2026-07-14T19:06:00-04:00 @boxofjoe: We found out that the real name of 'why the lucky stiff' is Jonathan Gillette. 2026-07-14T19:08:00-04:00 @boxofjoe: I never read all of the poignant guide, but he also illustrated Flanagan's book The Ruby Programming Language. 2026-07-17T11:32:00-04:00 @boxofjoe: I love Ruby, but for quick and dirty scripts I usually stick with Perl. 2026-07-17T18:51:00-04:00 Jumped rope for 84 minutes, half of the time in the red zone. 2026-07-18T21:17:00-04:00 Was able to watch the last part of the Tour de France, probably won't be able to tomorrow, except for a replay. 2026-07-20T23:03:00-04:00 Ran 3.65 km after sunset but it was still 27 degrees and very humid. Paced myself, felt good to be outdoors. 2026-07-20T23:03:00-04:00 Thanks for mentioning the article, @boxofjoe, I've started it and will finish it. 2026-07-21T22:53:00-04:00 Over 8 billion people in the world. Imagine if we could all work together for good things, for everybody. 2026-07-22T23:08:00-04:00 Jumped rope for 37 minutes since there is a threat of a storm. We are under a flood watch. 2026-07-23T11:35:00-04:00 @balloon - hope that you aren't affected by the kokusobi! 2026-07-24T18:11:00-04:00 Exciting finish at the Tour de France. Jumped rope for 61 minutes, 32 minutes in the red zone. 2026-07-25T18:09:00-04:00 Cruel heat in much of Europe and Japan this year. 2026-07-25T18:09:00-04:00 Sunday is the last day for the Tour de France - men's version. The Ladies version starts next Saturday. 2026-07-30T15:03:00-04:00 Wow, @boxofjoe, sorry that you had to have surgery! Hoping and wishing you a speedy recovery! 2026-07-30T15:06:00-04:00 Decided to mirror my twtxt file on dailysojourn.com/twtxt.txt, because Nightfall fails now and then. 2026-07-31T18:41:00-04:00 Did my Friday jumping, 62 minutes, 37 in the red zone. Reward myself with ice cream later! 2026-07-31T18:42:00-04:00 @boxofjoe: I have a co-worker who had the same surgery and I sure hope I never have to!
