    +I spent Friday night implementing a new part of my website: +'>Martin's Sunday Corner. It's going to be +a list of thoughts from the past week available once a week on Sundays. Think of +it like a once-a-week ephemeral microblog. A Twitter without any of the features +of Twitter. Or any of its limitations. +

    + +

    +You can try to access the page on other days but there's no use, you'll just be +told to return next Sunday. +

    + +

    +For now I'm going to treat this as an experiment. I'm not sure how long I'll +keep it running, but I'm hoping it's going to be light enough for me to not need +to care about it much. I won't mind if it remains empty some weeks, but if it +stays empty for weeks in a row, I'll probably shut it down and consider the +experiment as failed. +

    + +

    +The Corner is going to be an outlet for + +

      +
    • random thoughts
      • +
    • musings
      • +
    • small updates
      • +
    • tiny poems or jokes; why not?
      • +
    • + maybe small rants? I don't usually complain much, but maybe that's just + because I've never had a good place to do so at. +
      • +
    +

    + +

    +I hope the ephemerality of this project will help me be more off-the-cuff and +share thoughts that I normally wouldn't in full blog posts. And, assuming this +actually leads to me thinking and sharing more thoughts, maybe it will +additionally lead to more interesting ideas that can evolve into full articles. +

    + +

    Anti Social Media

    +

    +This experiment is anti social media. Not in the sense that it's anti social +— quite the opposite, since as always you are welcome to email me if you +have any comments about anything I've written, and that includes anything you +happen to see in the Corner. It's anti social media in the sense of being +opposed to +'> + "social" + media. +

    + +

    +Social media tries to keep you hooked in as long as possible every day. It wants +to bombard you with all sorts of random content, then learn which of it sticks. +The Corner is available only one day a week. Once you've seen a Sunday's +contents, there's no reason to stay on the page, to refresh, to wait for a +notification (none will come). You'll have to wait until next Sunday for fresh +thoughts from a new week. The thoughts will all come from me. They might be +boring, they won't be targeted, you might not relate to most of them. I might +even write some of them in Polish so who knows if you'll be able to read them. +

    + +

    Technical

    +

    +The Corner is implemented as a CGI script written in Ruby. You can find the +source code '>here. Feel free to copy my code or +implement a similar idea for your own personal website! +

    +I also just wrote an +article for LandChad about CGI +scripting, if you're interested in CGI scripting in general. The example used +there is in concept very similar to the Corner. +
