Girl on Fire https://flic.kr/p/251f8ef

Another photo from the same day. This one was a bit of photographic happenstance - this girl ran in front of my camera just as the shutter was firing.

It occurs to me that I've never shared my header image on Mastodon. This is looking north from Chicago's Madison/Wabash platform in 2015. This platform has since been rebuilt and I don't think this vantage still exists. https://flic.kr/p/ruT9Tj

Hey Folks! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, I'm glad I'm able to pick things up here and keep you all online :)

For those that don't know me, my name is Ryan, I look after MastodonApp.UK which is a UK hosted and managed instance, and I have been working with Byron and other admins for a little while now working to bridge gaps and share tips and best practice so we can provide the best possible service and community for our members.

There will be some changes happening, mostly behind the scenes with hosting and where we're storing data, I'm working with the current admin team here to make that as smooth as possible and to ultimately minimise any outages we may require.

I'm primarily using my @wild1145 account though will be monitoring this one and using this one for Universeodon specific admin announcements / changes in addition to the current accounts that are established here.

I can't wait to continue building some awesome things with you all!

andymarfia,

@wild1145 @wild1145 Welcome aboard! In case this feedback is helpful, I find the full text search useful and hope that it stays in place. It would be weird to go backwards to only searching via hashtags after getting used to a more modern search.

The bunnies in Chicago think they run this city and the humans are the interlopers. Maybe they're right. https://flic.kr/p/2oSUeuZ
