+			<p>There will be some stuff here. There was previously!</p>

+			<p>I'm rewriting the backend and my Atom generator, so I've purged
+			my feed and wrote this one entry by hand. I'm starting to become real
+			and I'd like to see what you all create. Please send me your RSS/Atom feeds: gen@nyble.dev</p>

+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/words/">words/</a>: Weeknotes, currently decaying but
+					starting again soon as planned for a few weeks now.</li>
+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/bits/">bits/</a> are poetry, prose, art, etc. if i don't
+					know what it is, it's a bit</li>
+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/things/">things/</a> are projects in progress and to-be-started projects.
+					old things will be listed there when I pick them up again</li>
+			</ul>

+			<![CDATA[<p>It's the middle of November.</p>
+			
+			<p>I still have not finished my Atomizer. The thing I will use to put
+			full-text posts here, and images with styles that keep them from
+			exploding to fantastic sizes, so I will continue to write periodic
+			posts like these when I have things I wish to share. I write these Atom
+			updates manually and I'm quite enjoying it, so I may put it off still longer.</p>
+			
+			<p>I encourage you to send me your RSS/Atom feeds still. Or to just
+			email me if you like. gen@nyble.dev</p>
+
+			<p>Some things recently</p>
+			<ul>
+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/words/a-really-long-week.html">a-really-long-week.html</a>:
+					about the lack of weeknotes. A short thing about what I've done in the past 116 days.</li>
+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/words/debugging-my-sql-query.html">debugging-my-sql-query.html</a>
+					is an informal retelling about debugging something from earlier today. Really it's
+					copied-and-pasted discord messages, where I talked to only myself, slightly cleaned up.</li>

+
+			<p>Hello, it's been awhile. How are you doing? Hanging in there?
+			Just barely? You'll make it through it. We're a quarter into this
+			year and that's something! It's not nothing.</p>
+
+			<p>i think i'm still here, still real. just barely. i'm trying and

+				<li><a href="https://dreamy.place/the-continuum/">The Continuum</a>
+					is a thing-a-day project where i add a thin image every day to
+					an ever-growing, living image. it's hard to describe shortly,
+					but i don't think you'll regret going to look at it. i've missed
+					some days, but i'm only human. barely.</li>
