I haven't really been using my "personal blog" on micro.blog, so it's time to turn it off.

I already created a Leaflet personal blog that is effectively the equivalent -- personal blog posts only! And used the bmann.ca domain.

https://blog.bmann.ca External Link • blog.bmann.ca

I requested archives of MicroBlog and removed the custom domain...which used to be blog.bmannconsulting.com ...which now points here, to Leaflet!

My main website is still bmannconsulting.com. It's a static site generated by Jekyll, sourced from my Obsidian vault checked into git on desktop and Working Copy on iOS. Yes, I use git to sync my Obsidian.

What I want to get to is sense making, for myself, but also linking into others.

This graph of my local notes might be pretty...or frustrating...or mystifying.

I've been messing around with how I want to work with my journals -- which are effectively microblog sized posts, but with wikilinks and rich text (which historically have all been cross posted to bsky anyway).

Link sharing on ATProto

I experimented a couple of months ago with different ways to store/share links on ATProto, which for me are ultimately at the core of what I'm doing - finding, thinking about, and sharing links.

Here's a "prototype" of what Cosmik Network's Semble bookmarking tool might look like when shared to bsky -- rich text link, description, comment, and permalink back to the Semble appview.

Here's the auto-share post from grjte's Groundmist:

The permalink just goes to my library page, not an entry for the link itself.

And of course, the original ATProto social links, Frontpage:

Trying link sharing and journal flows with Leaflet

Today, while reading some articles and messing with the Obsidian Web Clipper and trying to get it to work for my workflow, I tried to share a link / commentary / clip some things to my notes.

On my website:

https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/productivity-tools-need-community-more-than-ai/ External Link • bmannconsulting.com

On this Leaflet pub:

https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/3lxsrmot7ec2c External Link • blog.bmannconsulting.com

And the same pub shared as a quote to Bluesky:

Leaflet is doing something really interesting with quotes.

They are linked to/from the original pub, and then they generate this screenshot for sharing as a bsky post.

It's "just" opengraph embeds, with the additional bonus that it's stored as a blob in your own PDS (atproto-browser).

So, uh, I guess I'm posting on Leaflet now.

I am writing more than ever in lot in a lot of different places (Discord, Discourse, Signal, HedgeDocs, WikiJS, Patchwork, Zulip, GDocs, and of course -- email!) to connect and communicate with many different people and groups.

Right this moment, this is an enjoyable Labour Day post that is procrasta-posting instead of a cohesive KGNotes write up (3 months ago!) or those PrivateDataWG notes from ATProto NYC.

See you in the ATmosphere!
