Zoe's first day at school. I went photographing with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. It was my mum's birthday. Saw Gatecreeper and Converge live in Dortmund with Bernd and Fred. We went to a horse race. And Bernd and I went on a multiday hike in Austria, where I broke my arm.

I’m supposed to say Stay Classy San Diego now, right?

A few weeks ago I decided to switch this site to ClassicPress. The recent WordPress drama was merely the final straw.  It was years of the block editor, aka Gutenberg. I want to write content. The block editor feels like I am typesetting a magazine. The classic WordPres...

Their little suites with a bedroom and kitchenette were perfect for my weekend needs.

During this trip, I got frustrated when I made an order in a local business I expressed asked for them not to give me something, Mentioned it three times, asked them to confirm, But brought it back with me to the venue I was at and low and behold…The thing I asked them not to give me. This is like when I go to a restaurant and ask for a my drink with no ice and no lemon and one of those things shows up. I normally don’t write about such things…but I told this story several times to people and I was told that if I told the same story 3 times, it needed to be on my website. So here it is.

I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but 32,000 people attended last year according to their site.

I’ve been very reluctant to set defaults for syndication, making options be selected each time instead. This is a bit problematic because I like to reduce friction.

The issue is that I don’t want them to be global. I want them to be a bit more granular.

For example, a hallmark of a note for me is that is doesn’t have an explicit title. Maybe I want all notes to go to all services that support them unless I say otherwise….

I am worried about a mistake I made years ago involving importing old posts… so the code needs to check the published date and not post anything old automatically.

Responses to URLs on a syndication site should automatically go out to that site…but not necessarily to other sites.

I had a discussion about this with my Indieweb associates at IndieWebCamp San Diego and I’m still not sure what I’ll end up doing.

I’ve been diverted to Las Vegas unexpectedly due weather. Joy.

This is a summary curation of prior posts of mine on why post, what to post, and how to post, as well as some bits I wrote on the #IndieWeb wiki. This post assumes you already have a blog — if you don’t have one and wonder why you should, that’s a different blog post.If you h...

~3 weeks ago I posted some thoughts¹ about the US #election. Upon more reflection, more thoughts and some updates.~50 days until many #changes that will harm many, disrupt many more. Some changes and impacts will be immediate, some in days to weeks, mostly predictable, and so...

Have been doing a lot of different things lately. 3D printing, organizational stuff, and an unexpected side trip to Ireland for work with an interesting new project to work on there. Makes me fear I’m neglecting my website. So many things I want to do here and with the code that powers it.

I’ve been down in an audio plugin rabbit hole lately. More on that in a later blog post. But I just stumbled upon a set of free plugins that might be of interest to you, if you are doing voice recordings of any kind – be it a podcast, voice over, or, let’s say, video tutoria...
