I am delighted with Wordland – it makes it very easy to post to my various blogs. I encountered a problem uploading an image to one of my sites. I reported it here. SOLUTION: This was a Jetpack problem. It turns out that I did have Jetpack installed, but the JSON API was not enabled. […]
I am switching my blogging to use Wordland.social. I formerly used the standard WordPress editor (Classic, then Block), but they always felt klunky and slightly overwhelming. The process of logging into WordPress, then editing with those tools was enough of a drag that I didn't bother to post as much as I could. Instead, I now
There are lots of good Internet speed tests, such as Waveform, Cloudflare, or Speedtest.net. Unfortunately, these mix your ISP's performance with your local router/network so it's hard to tease out whether problems are local or remote. The Crusader network speed and latency test does a remarkably good job of measuring the performance of your local

A while back, I saw a project called zoomready that I thought might be a useful tool for watching a network connection (even though it was Win-only, and I'm a Mac fan), but I now see it's deprecated. I'm not disappointed – I have found a web-based tool that seems to do a similar thing:
I’m often called upon by my neighbors to troubleshoot their crummy network connections. I already have good advice for solving bad latency caused by bufferbloat but I also hear, “My network connection is weak”, and I would like a nice tool to give me a visual sense of the facts on the ground. I looked
I'm checking out Wordland. Let's see if this actually posts to my Random Neurons Firing site… Hokey pokey! It did! This is very cool. It seems to hit all the important points of textcasting.org Should this be a header? Nope, doesn't seem to work yet Bold, Italic, H4 (?) Lists, too… a b c aardvark
I really like the Crusader network test application for measuring network throughput and latency. It’s cross-platform and provides a useful reference for network measurements. But the macOS binary opens a Terminal window that’s confusing and “gets in the way”. Furthermore, you have to know which binary to use – Intel or Apple Silicon. I decided
I wanted to create a macOS bundle for an application that I use frequently, and wanted it to have an attractive icon. I had a good PNG image, and knew that there must be a way to convert it to the multiple sizes required by modern macOS. I found Ben Souchet’s png-to-icns repo that does
