Looks like Apple’s iCloud services are having problems. My Mac can’t access them at the moment, and Fantastical is complaining too. Bummer. Oh well, not much I can do, I’ll just have to wait for it to start working again.

Huh, I uninstalled the Micro.blog app for Mac, then reinstalled the latest version, still getting a HTTP 500 error message when I try to access the timeline. Not sure what’s going on. At least I can still post from the app.

Ok, it looks like Micro.blog for Mac is forgetting its authorisation somehow? Every time I relaunch it, I have to sign in via the website. I did a clean install, too, so I’m pretty sure it’s not something on my machine causing the problem.

Doc Searl’s essay about the relative impermanence of the digital records of our lives has got me thinking. What, if anything, will still be online when I go?

Brexit: 48-hour Deadline Looms for UK as Negotiations Flounder – some perspective from outside the UK. Something conspicuously lacking from our own media, alas.

And now Micro.blog on iOS doesn’t appear to be refreshing its timeline.

Today is turning out to be a strange and frustrating day…

At least MarsEdit is still working, as is the RSS feed for my timeline. So there’s that.

Hmm, it turns out that I need to restart the Mac in Safe Mode, then enter my iCloud password when prompted. And now Micro.blog app is working too. Bizarre. Oh well, good to know my tech-fu is still strong.
