This is my old personal account, which I don’t post to anymore. For all updates, follow my bridged Bluesky account instead:
@joemcken.net

@[email protected] Hey PZ, just to check, this – @pzmyers – is you, right? Just followed me. You moving to a new server?

Just a quick li’l proof-of-life wave hello. I’m in between projects at the moment, and I’m again caught up in non-music-related work that consume all my free time, so it may be a while before I start my next musical project.

(Unless someone commissions me – that always takes precedence.)

4/4 I’ve updated this account’s bio to reflect its new status.

Hope to see y’all at @joemcken.net. 👍

3/4 Now, this leaves me with two accounts here. My plan is:

» The bridged account (@joemcken.net) will be considered my “main” Fediverse personal account from this moment on. So if you want to see future posts, go and give it a follow.

» This account (@joemcken) is pretty much being retired. I’ll still monitor notifications here, just in case, but I won’t be posting, so there’s not much point in following it anymore.

2/4 The bridged account (@joemcken.net) is an automated mirror of my Bsky account. I can’t directly control it – that’s just how Bridgy Fed works. But I also shouldn’t need to, as it mirrors any update I make over on Bsky.

You can mention it & reply to its posts, but I’ll only see your posts on my end on Bsky if you’ve also bridged your account. Thankfully, that’s as simple as following @bsky.brid.gy – that’s it.

So, big changes happening to this account. I don’t use it much anymore, so this is a heads-up.

I’ve just bridged by Bsky account, which will now be crossposted at @joemcken.net.

I’m mainly active on Bluesky, since it’s where all my peeps hang out, so if you ever wanted to see all my posts, reposts and other things, but didn’t want to get on Bluesky yourself … well, today sure is your lucky day.

1/4

I was today years old when I learned you can select linked text on a webpage without opening the link simply by holding down Alt before clicking (and releasing it *after* you release the mouse button).

This is unironically gonna save me quite a bit of time in the future.

Lots of aurorae tonight, visible even way down south.

So, naturally, we got cloud cover here.

I will die an old man without having ever seen a single aurora or eclipse or anything else cool. 😔

Ugh. Attention anyone who has an account on the Internet Archive (which apparently I do? Honestly don’t even remember it) – they’ve suffered a data breach and 31 million users’ emails & passwords have been compromised:
