Recently I hosted the textpod instance on my own mini-cloud. I really like the project because it is a nice piece of smol software at least from the conceptual side. Textpod was made using pretty recent web stack for Rust so the project is a bit obese if we talk about dependencies, but it also quite modest for a rust-powered web app :)

Anyway, I'm planning to use the textpod as an inbox and later hoard useful stuff into my Org Roam, and for that particular puprose it suits perfectly!

Feels, huh

Let's try and see how it will go. I haven't (yet?) a habit to write regularly. Maybe it is what it is because of the traction between the "ink" and the screen. I was always more tend to setup the whole blogging process than to write stuff.

Tech things always were more attractive to me than the content. I just remembered my first "text editing environment" within my homemade "OS" that I built in GW-BASIC. It was a system that store the whole screen (in a text-mode) to the tape cassette. That saved page I was able do load later and continue to edit. Back then I wanted to write a fictional novel but I wrote just a couple of pages, because the process of writing wasn't that appealing itself :)

The same story happened with my game engine from the university days. I made the engine, proved that it is capable to run pretty complex stuff with inventory and conditional jumps between scenes. And then I stopped. In the single actual game I made were only five scenes or so :)

Now I have a Telegram channel and I'm posting stuff there from time to time. Long pauses are happening but thankfully they are rare! Social networks I keep at the distance. Trying to do some Mastodon. Maybe here I'll write short texts in English just to practice (but who will read them to provide any feedback?). At least, it is interesting for me to see how if works from the technical side: Gopher, HTML, those things :)
