I\u2019ve been messing about with Drummer<\/a> for a while now. I alway enjoy when a new thing opens up a few rabbit holes. Drummer certainly does that.<\/p>\n

Blogging in an outline is different. I\u2019ve done a little before with Fargo. Then I mostly thought about using the outliners reorganisation affordances as the main idea. This time I am seeing more possibilities with the micro, one line posts narrating a day\u2019s work<\/a>. As I am on holiday this week and not busy I\u2019ve managed a bit of this, not so much work as narrating my play. Back to school on Monday, so I\u2019ll be doing less of that.<\/p>\n

One rabbit hole than digging out how some things work in Drummer. Mostly by trying failing and trying again after changing one this. Obviously reading the docs<\/a> would be better.<\/p>\n

It is truly fascinating seeing a little of how Drummer is put together. Reading other users experiences and getting a glimpse into Dave\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n

The GitHub site, Issues \u00b7 scripting\/drummerSupport<\/a> has some great questions and answers. The later provided not only by Dave but other folk. This is also a useful place to help in exploring drummer. The requests and problems found give a bit of insight in how other bloggers think and blog.<\/p>\n

Amit Gawande produced a great summary post: Getting Started Blogging with Drummer. <\/a>This clears a lot up and points to some other good information. I\u2019ve tried to write these sorts of notes when on a new path. I often get dragged down by an error and into a confusing maze to fix that. The notes get skipped or bits missed out. Amit\u2019s are exceptionally clear.<\/p>\n

Jack Batty has some drummer notes<\/a>, a lot of the questions have resonated with me.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s rabbit hole was getting my drummer blog to appear on my own domain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And that tunnel lead to some more raspberry pi thoughts. I though I might get river5 running again. This time on a separate pi, using my, slight, new found reverse proxy knowledge to get it going on river.johnj.info. And I did. Unfortunately, it is really slow. I guess because of the old pi. I also failed to install forever, which might make running things with any consistency. I might dig out a newer pi and try again. Hopefully slightly quicker than yesterday & today effort.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also been reading Testing HTTPS \u00b7 Issue #78 \u00b7 scripting\/drummerSupport<\/a> so made some progression that. I\u2019ve added a cert to river.johnj.info, but I\u2019ve not changed the templates in Old School yet.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile I\u2019ve been blogging a bit both to my \u2018real\u2019 blog and through Drummer. I cankt imagine at the moment giving up WordPress. I like the archives, search(sic), categorisation & tagging too much. I wonder if these features will come to Drummer is some way. One solution for me<\/i> would be a way to post from Drummer to WordPress in the same way as you can tweet.<\/p>\n

Currently I spend more time reading my blog as opposed to writing it. Nearly all via the On This Day page. I find this endlessly fascinating. Partly seeing old thoughts and how they have repeated and morphed. I also love seeming the seasonal changes reflected through my photos and observations.
\nApart from being a new place to play and learn I and still seeing, for me, drummer as a possible place to build, pulling and gathering material that could end up here.<\/p>\n
