I am in the process of editing my beyond tellerrand photos. I usually begin by adding images to a folder as a first draft. Then I start removing photos, usually similar ones (or ones that are just not as good – whatever that means, it’s all very subjective and by feeling anyway), then proceed with ones that do not fit the flow. Finally – and I’ve learned this over the years – the last 10 photos have to really hurt to delete. Only then do I know that I have found the final selection.

The email delivery problems seem to have eased and from what I can see, emails seem to get delivered again phew. I’ve also now improved the look and content of said emails. And for every list’s feeds - such as IndieWeb feeds - there’s now an OPML version/export available.

Getting back to work after a conference week. Barely had time for anything else. ...
After four days of events, I’m feeling energized and exhausted at the same time. Had lots of great conversations and a fantastic time at both IndieWebCamp and Beyond Tellerrand! 👉 Florian’s photos: Monday, Tuesday. 👈
Already made the mistake of accidentally keeping the sign-up form for FeedCity live for a little too long without sufficient spam protection. Emails getting delivered to spam folders now. grrrr
📄 FeedCity
I made a new thing: a feed reader called FeedCity, available at https://feed.city. The main reason for adding yet another feed reader to the already huge pile, is that I couldn’t find an existing one with the features I’d like to have. Here’s how FeedCity is different, I believe:

Ok, one more time testing WebSub.
This is another test post for WebSub notifications.
It’s create day at IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf, and I’m trying to make WebSub updates work for my site (and this is an update).

Quite a few exciting days lie ahead of me:
- There’s the IndieWebCamp on the weekend.
- There’s Beyond Tellerrand on Monday and Tuesday.
- And I’m going to launch the product I’ve been working on alongside those event.

Last Sunday, I’ve been on another photo trip with Florian. We had a great time in fantastic weather at the Tetraeder in Bottrop. He took some fabulous photos:
Photo Blog Archive, Yea or Nay?
An archive page for my photo blog was never anything I wanted to do, simply because I don’t want people to look at tiny images and quickly scroll by à la Instagram. (I've written about it and it still stands.)
On the other hand, I understand that it can be tricky to get into...

We recently bought a (used) car online. Just got their newsletter suggesting more cars like the one we got. I don’t know… How many cars do people usually buy in a month? 🤔
I made a thing using CSS to display a four-image slideshow at the top of the Forkalyst homepage. I was (and still am) experimenting with positioning, gradients and animation. It took me longer than I thought it would and I’m still not 100% happy. But I reckon it’s good enough for now.
🎬 The Substance
This might be the most disgusting film I've ever seen. And it's not "just" all the guts and gore; it's all the food stuff, too. And all those close-up and wide-angle shots really emphasise it all. It's quite remarkable how this movie made me feel. And those makeup and "costumes": so good! I really wonder how this got so mainstream. Anyway, it's really a courageous piece, directing- and acting-wise. And it's funny, too. It's so over the top, it could not not be funny. The society criticism is not subtle at all, and I found this rather fitting. Writing all this, I kind of want to watch another round. But I'm not quite sure, if I'm courageous enough.
