I don’t use or know #ImageMagick at all, but joining images? I never thought I’d use it as much as I did. But it’s infrequent enough that I’d documented it a while back. And it saves my behind every time 😂

You get your best ideas in the morning.
Due to life and circumstances, the only time you get the time, space and bandwidth *actually* write is in the evening. How do you cope? How do you retain your ideas?
All answers appreciated. Please boost for reach!

Tech writer friends on the #Fediverse, when do you write about your projects?
I write tiny scripts that help me do stuff.
And I always want to write about them.
But I feel silly, thinking folks already know this.
Or I haven’t done it yet, let me write about it once, I get it working
And once I’m done, sometimes the thing I did is so specific, I don’t know if other folk will write it.
Or the script / program does, what I want it to do, works really well, and fades into the background with my good intentions of writing about it.

@aworkinglibrary It’s a great exercise in humility, keeping a blog for this many years. But in exchange for the keen awareness of how far I still have to go as a writer, I have the space to keep going. I have the home to keep coming back to. And I will. I will return, again and again.
4/4

@aworkinglibrary And maybe that’s a good way to think about blogging, too. The new stuff sits next to the old but doesn’t supplant it, doesn’t shove it out of the way. Each new post lays atop the next like sediment, and all the old layers remain exposed for you to meander through, with their mediocre sentences and lapsed claims, all the sloppy thinking ever on display.

#Blogging Myth No. 4: Writing Boring Posts is Bad
I can never remember how to renew my letsencrypt certificates.
I refer to my boring blog post, that details how to go about doing it. Every quarter. Without fail.
It’s saved my hide more times than I can count now!

Hello, Mr. Gaiman! I hope you’re doing well. I’m curious, how many words would you say you write on a good/average/bad day? […] it’s hard not to feel like it’s a complete waste of time […] do you have any advice?
[…]
Stephen King has written more books than anyone I know. He writes 1500 words a day. That’s what he does. Then he does other things.
If you write 300 words a day you will have written a 365 page novel in a year.
Just write.
