mdlbearThis is (a first cut at) a sticky-post or landing post for mdlbear.dreamwidth.org. I intend for it to be edited rather than replaced, so the link should stay the same.
Counting the imports from LJ (same username; now no longer updated since they broke automatic crossposting), this blog has been in existence for twenty years as of June 10, 2022.
The Mandelbear
... is what I call the fractal you see in my default icon. The Mandelbear is infinitely fuzzy, being a two-dimensional cross-section of a four-dimensional object. It occasionally manifests as an elderly hacker-songwriter, and sometimes as a Middle-Sized Bear.
Series Tags
These tags mark ongoing series of posts (and are mostly lifted from the post I made last Thursday introducing NaBloPoMo, with a couple of additions and edits.
- curmudgeon - The Computer Curmudgeon
- This series is a combination of public service announcements, mostly about security- and privacy-related events, and longer informational pieces. These posts are cross-posted onto computer-curmudgeon.com. I'd like to work up to one or two per week.
- done - Done Since...
- Posted every Sunday (sometimes delayed or advanced depending on
conventions and where the end of the month falls), this contains my
summary of the week followed by (under a cut tag) the week's worth of
to.dofile entries. The format of the to.do entries is described in How to.do it, and has been described as sort of an online bullet journal. - river - The River
- These are posts about, ... Hmm. What are they about? Love, friendship, grieving, ... I guess the overall theme is emotions.
- s4s - Songs for Saturday
- What it says on the tin. Songs, and occasionally other music. Sometimes posted late, as "Songs for Sunday".
- thanks - Thankful Thursday
- My weekly gratitude posts. I'm not entirely consistent about these -- you will occasionally see a "Thankful Friday". There's (almost) always one on (American) Thanksgiving. Of course.
- trainwreck
- Posts about my finances.
Other Tags
- goingsideways -- signal boost for weekly posts on GoingSideways.blog

- Conventions and other annual events get a pair of tags: the name of the event, and the year.
There are lots more; those are just the more important ones.

Making that work with nothing but CSS is a little bit tricky; I have no idea whether DW has any such, but probably ought to look.
