Hi, I'm @inertia. I am writing and updating this post from a modified version of chronicle that lets me do diff-match-patch. My hope is to update it indefinitely so that it is literally my profile page.

Background

My very first post on the platform is That's Nutrition! wherein I posted a picture of a bottle of hot sauce. I originally posted this picture on reddit where it got 1,358 reddit upvotes. I thought since it was mildly popular on reddit, it'd do well here. Turns out, not so much. In fact, my first 3 posts were pretty much duds.

But that got me thinking, since steemit.com interprets markdown, I have plenty of markdown content in my github repositories. I should post those. So I posted OpenBazaar API Ruby Client. Sure enough, @ned upvoted it.

Then I posted a bunch of stuff I liked like playlists and videos I didn't create, which were not received well. It was a learning curve. It was luck. But it was also fun.

In fact, my original theory about posting github repo markdown didn't pan out on my next attempt: CobbleBot

I did various memes, various news article reposts. I also started to basically mine content from my old blogs, especially ones that were no longer hosted. Nothing really seemed to click. I'd get 30¢ here, 2¢ there.

Then I posted Bob the Builder Lives in a Socialist Society and got a nice payout. Turns out original content really seemed to be the ticket. Only, it wasn't technically original. It was a repost from one of my old blogs. Still, I felt like I was getting the hang of it.

In fact, by my very next post, Blockchain Fiction: Warner to be Executed, I was getting even more excited by the possibilities.

It's not really practical to dig deep into my old post anymore. So here's a digest version.

About Me (and my family)

A little bit about me and more on my family.

Theology

Jesus stuff.

Photography

I'm not really that skilled at photography, but I know what I like.

Poetry

I am a one-trick-pony with regards to poetry.

Ruby

Most of the programming I do is in ruby. If you're not yet into ruby, here's how I would recommend going about picking a programming language to learn: How to Pick a Programming Language
