Bread

Long, detailed dream in which I worked on a batch of no-knead bread, but got distracted and forgot to let the dough rise.

Then, on preheating the oven and dutch oven, for some reason I rolled the dough out into a baguette shape and cut slices, which I then distributed around on the bare oven rack and on the inverted lid of the dutch oven.

Sometime later, smoke pouring from the oven, I opened the door and saw the carnage. Not all the bread was wrecked, oddly. I remember thinking, ah, some of this will make great breadcrumbs once I scrape the carbon off.

Well then.

Geez, a whole day spent on a mandatory security upgrade. At least I finally got the comment system working again. I’m sure I will regret that.

Amazingly, nearly four years after I first looked for single-day digest capability for Twitter reposts in MT, there is still no such capacity. At least sometime between then and now the local implementation of Action Streams became functional. Sadly, that functionality is as useless now as it was then, since it eschews treating outside content as posts.

One guy, the fellow that came up with the inbound Twitter reposter MT-Twitter (not to be confused with the outbound Twitter blogpost notification plugin also called MT-Twitter) wrote a roll-his-own Action Streams to post converter but decided not to make it a plugin.

A pal sagely counseled moving to WordPress, which does have a Twitter digest plugin, but the work involved in keeping this site look makes that an unlikely eventuality.
