Wow! It's been a long, long, long time since I've recorded feels. I guess trying to stick to a schedule just doesn't work for me. I finally nuked my old Ghost blog, leaving yet another set of link-rotted permalinks. I might bring them back on my Hexo instance that I'm still too stressed to theme.
SOTDBot's grown far bigger on Tilde.Town than I could've imagined. I love seeing all the songs people share via sotdbot popping up on Mastodon, and genuinely seeing people get enjoyment out of sharing music. I want to bring it beyond the tildeverse/fediverse, to Twitter, and the internet at large as well. I even bought a domain, as I am wont to do. sotd.vip, someday, will house that project. Right now, work has to come first, which I am taking a quick 5:30AM reprieve from. I know the problem I'm brick-walling against, I'm just not yet sure how to fix it. Perhaps just venting a bit will help clear that block. I also just want to give a shout out to ~severak, and town radio which uses SOTDbot's entries. Give it a look.
Better Unicode handling needs to come to SOTDBot at some point, but it's not a
huge priority at the moment. At present, my main priority is figuring out why
Cinch's match method doesn't actually match on strings anymore. (It used to!
I swear!) But for now, I've got a work around in place. I'll go spelunking into
the codebase for cinch eventually and try and figure out why they're not
working as they should be.
