	new years cleanup

	----------------------------------------

	I went through moku-pona[0] to clean up some shenanigans today.
	A lovely person reached out to me to be added to the list (hi
	bandali! [1]) and while I was in there I noticed my perl stuff was
	acting up. I guess the XML parsing was broken, so I did some CPAN
	work and I think it's good again. I also noticed a handful of
	phlogs whose servers seem to be down. I trimmed them for now. If
	they return and want re-added I can do that later.

	Grex.org in particular is a challenge. That server has long
	periods of downtime, but usually comes back. I have a handful of
	people there in the list and I've left them for now. We'll see if
	it pops back online again at some point.

	I've been really sick for the past few weeks. My son got the flu
	about a week before school let out. He was in bad shape and we
	nearly went to the hospital. Thankfully his fever broke, but by
	then my wife caught it, and then it was my turn. My flu, as per
	usual, developed into pneumonia and I'm still coming out of that
	funk. I think this cough will be with me a while yet.

	This weekend I'm going to try to record a new episode of Solarpunk
	Prompts [2], my podcast series about the movement. If you haven't
	checked it out before please do so. It's for writers, but many
	non-writers enjoy it as well. The episodes are only about 10
	minutes long. I recommend listening to the intro episode first as
	it lays out what the podcast is about and its reason for being.
	After that you can listen to the episodes in any order.

	Oh! The podcast is not only followable in podcast apps and RSS
	like normal, but you can also follow it on Fedi! Check out:

	I hope you all had a really great holiday and new year.
