In 2023, the best way to connect with Nancy or Infinite Ink is via one of the following.

  • To post a comment that will be displayed on this website, use the Utteranc.es comment form near the bottom of many Infinite Ink pages, including near the bottom of this page. Note that this requires a GitHub account.

  • To connect with Nancy⁠[1] on Mastodon

  • To connect with Infinite Ink on Mastodon…

    • follow the #InfiniteInk hashtag

    • or post a toot that includes #InfiniteInk.

 

💡
  • I really appreciate your messages — even if you simply post an emoji such as 👋⁠[2] — because it helps me to know I’m not alone in an infinite void.⁠🕳️😱

  • On some Infinite Ink pages there is a “Share this page on Mastodon” link, which, if you click it, creates a toot that includes the #InfiniteInk hashtag.

  • To view all the Infinite Ink Utteranc.es comments on one page, go to github.com/nancym/ii-issues/issues.

I haven’t yet posted to superuser.com, but maybe in 2023 I will.

micro.blog/nm

This is a free micro.blog account so it is partly disabled.

del.icio.us/deflexion.com

From 2004 to 2014, I shared my public bookmarks at the above del.icio.us URL.

deflexion.blogspot.com

From 2003 to 2010, I used Blogger to blog. The content was deflected (auto FTP’d) from deflexion.blogspot.com to deflexion.com. In 2010, Blogger turned off FTP-publishing capability and I quit using Blogger. I wrote about this here.

discourse.gohugo.io/u/_nm

From 2016 to 2019, I participated in this #gohugo discussion group. During the more than three years that I participated, I periodically was unhappy with and frustrated by the way interesting conversations and people were shut down. In late 2019 I had enough and I am currently an inactive member. It’s possible I will be active there again. I will miss the helpful people in this community, especially the people that I “liked.”

1. Starting in July 2023, my Mastodon avatar is (instead of ).
2. The hexadecimal HTML character entity for the wave emoji is 👋. To learn more about this emoji, see https://www.emojiall.com/en/emoji/👋.
3. When I favorite, star, or “like” something on a social networking system, it does not necessarily mean I like it. Instead, it means I’m bookmarking it or want it to be deflected to somewhere, for example to my pinboard.in account.
