Testing out an update to the Micropub endpoint on my website. v2.0.11
Month: December 2019
Directed by Dennie Gordon. With John Krasinski, Wendell Pierce, Noomi Rapace, Jordi Mollà. The election in Venezuela is moved up. Stranded in a hostile country, Jack and Mike fight for their lives, while Greer is interrogated. The Ubarri family must decide to flee or face Reyes.
After a bit of tweaking, the update to Micropub plugin v2.0.11 seems to have gone well. I’m now also getting updates from OwnYourSwarm again–it had stopped working sometime on 12/11. Need to figure out why Quill isn’t finding my syndication endpoints while OwnYourSwarm does.
📗 Started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
I’ve been thinking quite a bit this week about how bad ideas in ed-tech spread. Obviously, a key way is via the media. Take this NYT story for example: “The Machines Are Learning, and So Are the Students.”
A great example of whitewashing in edtech pointed out here.
I also recommend that NYT response about the 1619 project.
I love the idea of wikis. My problem is I have no idea what I would use a wiki for.
Try it for bookmarking things. Keep a daily journal. Document discovery tools.
You use your website every day for something. Try doing that with a wiki. Eventually your creative juices will begin flowing. Eventually you’ll come up with some creative ideas…
A few of my colleagues have been raving about the relatively new, Chromium-based Brave browser lately, so I decided to try it out. I initially didn’t pay much attention because I’m pretty happy using Firefox as my primary browser. That said, I like a browser that blocks tracker crud on the Web, ...
I should be testing out more browsers like this as well.
I love that Charlie provides a wealth of different things you can subscribe to from her website. My favorite is not just her “firehose”, but how she describes it in her code:
<link data-react-helmet="true" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Subscribe to everything (and I mean EVERYTHING - it is a fucking firehose)" href="https://www.sonniesedge.net/rss/everything.xml"/>
I wish more people provided multiple custom feeds for the content on their websites.
In Charlie’s case, I vote for subscribing to EVERYTHING!
🔖 Roam Research – A note taking tool for networked thought.
As easy to use as a word document or bulleted list, and as powerful for finding, collecting, and connecting related ideas as a graph database. Collaborate with others in real time, or store all your data locally.
Sadly this doesn’t look like it’s very strong in the “own your data” front.
YOU KNOW SHIT IS GOING DOWN WHEN @NYTIMES RUNS ALL CAPS HEADLINES
An interesting way to track only the BIGGEST NEWS.
Happy Hanukkah!
A feed of all the people I'm following on micro.blog.
Taking a crack at following my micro.blog feed within a feed reader rather than natively on the web or in the app. An interesting experience that helps put more emphasis on the longer form material rather than the here-and-now.
Are there other ways to follow micro.blog feeds outside of the traditional outlets?
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)My IndieWeb setup is continuing to evolve. I just added support for syndication (this post should appear on IndieNews) and JSON-posting to my Hugo backend and theme.
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ve found lots of documentation, but keep in mind that micro.blog is built on Hugo. If it helps I noticed that Steve Layton wrote a piece the other day about adding Webmention to micro.blog/Hugo with lots of code and details. It looks like you may have some of that already, but seeing the previously worn paths and knowing where to turn can help a lot!
The Upper Valley Ukulele Club, aka: uvUkeClub, is a free club for anyone that wants to play the ukulele in the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire.
Perhaps this is a reminder that I need to finally commit to learning the ukulele?
