🔗 You Only Think They Work For You
Steve is talking PR Agencies. Not wrong. But they aren’t the only sinners. I am looking at you ‘Recruiters’.

🔗 Rebuilding My Micro Blog - a little over 4 Years ago apparently.
Maybe it is time to do it again❓
Then again - pretty much in the mode of finally fixing 🖇️ PHI⑊PIN - and one thing at a time … except …
NO
ONE. THING. AT. TIME. https://john.philpin.com/2022/01/27/rebuilding-my-micro.html

By simply adding stuff / pages and plugins to my blog without thinking something eventually had to break - and it did. My thanks to @manton and @pimoore for pointing out the error. Turns out Hitchens doesn’t include a ‘Replies’ page - which caused my archive to disappear. Flatearth time. I mean - everything. (Barring two hidden pages being used for 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic ). The Rebuild Install Hitchens ✅ - thankyou @pimoore (need to move my footer into Hitchens footer.
🔗 The Guestbook Is Back
Funny, 🔗 I have a guestbook (thankyou Pika) which I forget about .. so much so that when I recently rejigged my site navigation, it was no where to be found. https://flamedfury.com/posts/the-guestbook-is-back/
🔗 Tread carefully, because you tread on my fucks.
"On any given day, I have roughly 5 or so fucks to give."
When you breakit down - that’s a lot. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/tread-carefully-because-you-tread-on-my-fucks/

🔗 Mapped: Each State’s Share of Total U.S. Exports
I guess ‘software’ and ‘services’ are not included in ‘exports’? https://www.visualcapitalist.com/map-u-s-states-share-of-total-exports/
🔗 Revamping Post Stats - Amit Gawande
@amit - thank you for reminding me and thank you for doing it.
Although the insights are a little scary …. https://amitg.blog/2026/03/27/revamping-post-stats/

Of all the dev projects I have created, the post stats plugin for Micro.blog has been close to me. It gave me insights about my writing that I loved. Since I published the first version of this plugin in December 2021, I have wanted to revamp the stats page. I had accumulated a list of insights that were not present, but needed to be. With v2, they do — a complete rebuild, not a minor update.
🔗 Seeker – On my Om
"I have always struggled to describe myself. Not sure how others see me versus how I see myself. This is not the first time I have had to confront this question. As a child and as a young man, I dealt with this same challenge."
I have the same problem. Hell I can write pages and get nowhere close to the right summary - and Jax just nails it when she introduces me. Then again - I am better and introducing her than she is introducing herself. https://om.co/2026/03/28/seeker/
