Just switched my name servers for thingelstad.com to Netlify. Triple checked DNS values but if you see something not working let me know.

It’s amazing how fast name server changes are propagated today. Floors me to think about the days and days it took in late ’90s.

Sailboat on Cannon Lake. Not a typical sight.

Moved two small static sites to Netlify and am very impressed. Powerful and easy. Plus opens Hugo as an option.

Micro.blog now with titles for long updates

I got the new micro.blog iOS app and I really dig how Manton Reece has implemented subject lines and longer posts in a microblogging platform. The title bar appearing after the body gets to a certain length is a very elegant solution. I still like the idea of having a main blog separate from the fragments on my microblog, but it’s great seeing this evolve in interesting ways.
