One has to be on one‘s toes when working, especially with multiple websites. I almost posted my work newsletter to the personal site here. It would not have been anything disastrous or dangerous, but different audiences have varying expectations.
Work is better now than when I had 1001 sites to juggle. Back in the day, the internet wisdom was to have multiple sites that would feed one another. Or something like that.
¶ Mock and ridicule all you want, but a to-do list is a Very Good Thing. Unless you never forget anything and have a photographic memory. Here’s one lady’s approach to them.
¶ If I were the most powerful man in the world (is humanity at galaxy level yet, Elon?), I would make everybody use the most sensible form of date that exists: year, month, day. Like this: 2026-06-27. (This is the ISO 8601 standard.) I don’t know if that would be the first Emergency Measure of my benevolent reign, but it would be in the top five, for sure.
¶ Ditto for Bible references. At least three forms are used here in Brazil (colon, period, and comma to separate chapter and verse). I went with the period, as in Acts 2.38. For one, it’s easier to type than the American system using the colon. I know of an uncommon fourth form, that uses superscript for verses in order to dispense with a separator between chapter and verse. It’s attractive, but impractical.
¶ A quote: “Jesus’ enemies couldn’t answer his words nor withstand his power. With speech, masterly in its simplicity and keenness and rare insight into their motives, and with power, silent, intangible, but utterly resistless, he held off their hands of hate reaching for Jerusalem stones as at the Nazareth precipice, until his chosen hour had come for yielding. And if he may have habitual sway in us, he will teach our lips both speech and silence, and shield our persons.”
¶ An original verse: The wise who know the weight of words are blessed / With power in speech, in silence and music’s rest.
¶ A Bible verse, for the Last Word: “With flattery he will corrupt those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will be strong and take action” Daniel 11.32 CSB.
