My fav gadget of 2020: the LCD writing tablet. Costs under R200. 2 year battery life. Doesn't sync with anything. Can only erase whole screen. Helps me focus distraction-free on today's tasks and jot down notes.

Using some simple scripts, I have automated the process of publishing microblogs to my static-generated website (which uses #Pelican). It makes use of the #IndieWeb standard #micropub format, so I can even share links and upload photos to my blog via the Indigenous app. Now you can too!

My #aquaponics runneth over! That's cherry tomatoes hanging off the side, bearing plenty of fruit. #diy

Right, clearly that first post revealed some kinks that needed working out. Here are some kittens. #IndieWeb

First micro-blog post on my own site, which will hopefully be syndicated to social media via #IndieWeb tech!

I live an anti-consumerist lifestyle - one that is focused on maximizing health, time, and money rather than the acquisition of _stuff*.
