I’ve just successfully exported 4453 posts from my Micro.blog hosted blog and imported them into a Day One journal using the macOS Micro.blog app.

The whole process took about 3 hours, most of which was taken up by the downloading of all the blog images.

The Day One journal entries look very good - much better than a lot of those I have been crossposting from Micro.blog to Day One using IFTTT. They would often lose some formatting and only import one image from multi-image posts.

I paused the Day One sync service during the import process - now I’m just dreading turning it back on. I know it’s going to take a very long time to upload all these posts and images to the Day One servers and while the process is underway my (already poor) broadband service is going to slow to a crawl.

Now I just need a way to incrementally export new posts from my blog to Day One. I’d rather not go through the process of exporting and importing thousands of posts each time!

πŸ”— Star Trek versus Imperialist Doctrine by Yanis Varoufakis

America’s liberal imperialist doctrine has been responsible for appalling carnage in places like Vietnam, Iraq, and Central America. But America has also produced a liberal anti-imperialist doctrine that remains ensconced in a TV series that has been captivating US audiences since 1966.

Just sorted out my deckchair and radio to settle down for a sunny afternoon listening to the cricket when … 3rd Test: England beat India by an innings and 76 runs. 🏏

πŸ“† | 🏷 Photography 🏷 Cricket

At the start of play today CricViz gave England a 97% chance of winning the 3rd Test against India. By the end of play it was down to 81%. Pujara, Kohli and Rohit Sharma all played a good and patient game. Days 4 and 5 of the match could get interesting. 🏏

Green Man Festival 2021 Photographs πŸ“· 🎡 – a Flickr album of photos straight from my old Pentax K100D camera.

It’s the first time I’ve bothered carrying a ‘real’ camera around a festival. I quite like some of the images compared to my phone photos. 😊
