Experimenting with the Beluga.social app ๐ณ
I’m still playing around with Beluga and I quite like the way it works.
I’m sharing my Beluga posts on AWS S3 storage at thedimpause.cloud. This is a url forwarding address because to achieve anything in AWS requires me to do a vast amount of fumbling around until I find something that works. I’m not confident or familiar with using it and still haven’t found the energy to find a way to set up a custom domain yet ๐
I’ve got the JSON feed from my Beluga site โฆ

Neither Rehan nor Bashir was born when Anderson made his Test debut at Lord's in May 2003, while his own Test cap number - 613 - is a full 100 caps shy of the 713 cap that Bashir will receive before the start of play on Friday. At the age of 41, Anderson is about to enter his 22nd year as an international cricketer, but Stokes had no qualms about bringing him back into the fray.

Second Test between India ๐ฎ๐ณ and England ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, day one. Missed the 4am start but did get up at 5am, just missing the first wicket, Rohit Sharma dismissed by Shoaib Bashir on debut. Hope this is going to be as interesting as the first Test ๐

This is the first time Iโve encountered a YouTube My Mix. I donโt usually use or like the playlists apps such as Apple Music or Spotify generate but this one is impressive and ticks a lot of boxes ๐ต๐
A lot to like about that First Test between India and England, enjoyed it immensely. Twists and turns, outstanding individual performances from Pope and Hartley and an unexpected victory for England in the final over of the fourth day ๐

Now there should be some play on Day four of the Test ๐
At least there was something worth waking up ridiculously early for. A brilliant century for Ollie Pope on Day three of the India v England First Test in Hyderabad ๐๐
Linkblog ๐: Colin Ward: Everyday Anarchy - a Community crowdfunding project in Norwich by Patrick Bernard
An audio documentary to celebrate the life and work of the British anarchist Colin Ward and to mark the centenary of his birth in 2024.
This is a unique opportunity to tell the story of a rich and overlooked tradition in British thought โ and a radical alternative to mainstream politics โ which found its greatest advocate in the figure of Colin Ward.
