ofc would prefer a matrix client for kai os, and bridge everything else into matrix, but it looks to me like there isn't matrix client for kai os yet? this is closest thing I've found https://blog.bananahackers.net/farooqkz/matrix-client-project-got-a-name-other-news

I'm curious to try using a phone running kai os with whatsapp messenger, connected to a whatsapp-matrix bridge, also bridging telegram & signal into matrix. so that I could message basically anyone from my dumb phone... has anyone tried this?

the german mail system, where you hold packages for neighbors, while in some ways insane and annoying,
is also a nice way to meet neighbors, when people are available for that

instead, I found some screenshots of the projects from the wayback machine, and wrote some short text about the projects

it felt good to revisit and give some love to the past and past version of myself in this small way

change is constant,
different moments are connected in unexpected ways,
curious what will be happening seven years from now

yesterday I updated my personal website to fix my three oldest projects, from 2015, that had broken links because they were deployed to a server that hasn't been running in years

https://mfowler.info/work/howdoispeak_archive - an app which analyzes the words you use in your text messages and tells you things about yourself

https://mfowler.info/work/the_capitalist_tshirt - a website where you can pay to have a number printed on a shirt, framed print, or booty shorts, showing how much you paid for it

https://mfowler.info/work/truespeak - a website where you you can come out to the world as yourself by uploading your text message history to a publicly viewable page

the links were broken because they were originally deployed to AWS and a few years ago I deleted by AWS account

I kept thinking that someday I might spin up the server again to run the projects somewhere again and properly archive the projects, but yesterday, after a few years, I realized that was never going to happen

enjoyed imagining fun/interesting events or connections I "missed" due to missed messages etc. as positive indicators of my systems supporting me with space to rest and helping me to cultivate peace and focus for the things which are already in my life and which already often feel like too much to give my full presence and attention to

some forgotten cereal in the pantry had some moths in it,
which on one level seems kind of gross,
but also maybe its fine
