@skematica @jws As I cannot now see @matigo's blog post in my time line I shall reply here…
Nucely-written, as-ever, Jason. :)
Choice. While I had only IRC and MS Chat, that's all I used. IRC was a one-day thing for me; i can't recall any actual interactions at all.
Nowadays though we've dozens of places we can go to express ourselves, chat about our desires, hopes, dreams…
Incidentally, I forgot to mention ICQ in my blog post; a service I used mainly to connect to people I already knew online.
ADN, it's a place with lots of good memories, good people, but it's been let down by its founders and those in search of a bigger audience.
Now mine's not a massive criticism. I'm hardly there at all, my feeling's more one of a remembrance of the emotional baggage stemming from the SOTN post, the frankly-ridiculous antagonism (I'll never understand why people don't simply block) and the network's inevitable subsequent decline.
And guilt.
I'm not doing #QuoteSunday (always a low-engagement thing) in part due to IFTTT's ADN support shutting down, nor am I running #ThemeMonday (once an entirely different proposition.)
That reminds me, I should really move the #ThemeMonday page at my site and replace it… Sometime.
So, back to the blog post. Burnout maybe, but I'm happy to call 10C home.
One thing, I'm crap at publicising stuff; hence the one successful invite. Kinda successful, I'm hoping @mlv will spend a bit more time here…

@jws This (input(…) is why there's no line editing. Inefficient simplicity FTW! ;)

@matigo Oh, I can learn new things, it's simply that right now I'm hacking away at this with only a vague understanding of how to code what's necessary to avoid having to rewrite entire lumps of code when my focus changes. It's easy to add new issues daily, harder to impose structure and fix them by need. ;) // @skematica @sumudu
@jws That's it, Python from scratch to this in a few weeks. To make the thing user-friendly I'll need to put better editing comntrols in there, but it'll suffice for now. After all, there's only me using it, it's currently unsuitable for anyone without Python 3 experience. // @sumudu @matigo
@skematica Thanks. I really didn't think I'd get this far. As far as knowing I need a rewrite, even though I don't yet know how I'd do it. :)

@streakmachine Go on then, have you looked into your insurance premium costs yet? ;)
