👀 2022-01-14T19:41:22Z How does one pronounce _twtxt_?
I assume it's derived from _tweet_ and _text_ but feel like it should sound more like "twitixt"
I 2022-01-14T19:48:29Z (#rkjvofa) @ Ha! I'll just pretend like I didn't see you seeing me. Not awkward at all! 2022-01-14T22:25:06Z (#nqy5qwq) Ah, so it seems there's no general consensus or _official_ way to say it.

In my mind it started as "twi-text" which morphed into "twitixt" but I also like the idea of "twixt" 2022-01-15T07:23:41Z (#odb5fta) Thanks @ for the auto-welcome and thanks @ for making it work. 2022-01-15T07:26:47Z (#rkjvofa) @ Thanks! 2022-01-15T14:57:21Z (#nqy5qwq) Ah, cool. I like **Yarn**. Better branding than **twtxt**.
I'll probably end up referring to "twtxt/yarn" (or something) when mentioning this realm elsewhere. 2022-01-16T06:55:05Z (#zu3rl7q) Well, to start... unlike most I see around here, I'm not a dev, coder, etc. I'm more of a _curious user_ . My primary role currently is dad to an almost-age-3 kid.

The knit scarf was ages ago. One day I decided to buy some yarn and knitting needles. It was a basic stitch. I ended up, unintentionally, adding width along the way so one end was significantly wider than the other. It was still soft and warm though. 

Hey, if anyone needs a name for a new yarn.social related project... scarf. Haha 2022-01-16T07:07:46Z (#hngn7ia) @ ha! It really was a feat to behold. I don't even remember how long it took me to consider it finished, but it feels like it was a long time. And, yes, it does come up in conversation every now and then. I'll remember to put my nose up a little next time it does! 2022-01-18T05:40:27Z (#edyin2q) @<~eaplmx https://texto-plano.xyz/~eaplmx/twtxt.txt> cool! are you using any particular twtxt client? 2022-01-18T19:36:52Z (#ryfiwaq) @ I did know. Just hadn't gotten around to it. Done. 😁 2022-01-18T20:08:39Z (#hngn7ia) @ Never took a pic. Ended up giving it to someone who lived in a colder place. Turns out I didn't have much use for it in Southern California. 2022-01-20T04:18:38Z looking into hosting my own twtxt.txt file now. leaning towards using **jenny** client. loving the relative simplicity of twtxt.

twtxt running over gopher and gemini too?! this is **damn** cool!

also: now changing my description to "lurking and learning" 😁 2022-01-20T04:52:06Z (#7cvnqba) @ Not sure yet. First I need to get **jenny** working and figure out how to update my file. Then I can decide what to do with this account. I guess I have some reading and tinkering ahead of me. 2022-01-21T05:03:26Z (#dm5uara) @ awesome! congrats. 2023-09-12T18:18:28Z ![simple cockroach illustration](https://twtxt.net/media/4Wsx7atnkeiKeSxPpm6GwV.png) just testing. assuming text entered in brackets appears as alt text description 2023-09-12T18:19:02Z (#heh4h4q) and it does! 2023-09-13T22:09:19Z (#heh4h4q) @ thanks! (again) Looks like I was here over a year and a half ago (according to my twtxt.txt file). it's been a while since I'd poked my head in. Just having another look at twtxt; mostly to add a simple microblog feature on my web site
