Jeremy Keith (adactio.com)Over the weekend I was looking at the latest additions to Huffduffer. I noticed that Xavier Roy was using machine tags to tag a reading by Richard Dawkins. What an excellent idea! I set aside a little time to do a little hacking with Amazon’s API. Now you can tag stuff on Huffduffer with machine t...
Jeremy Keith (adactio.com)At the same time that Flickr are demonstrating idiocy in the human resources department, they continue to do so some very cool stuff behind the scenes. Aaron has been walking through some new API methods over on the Flickr code blog, quoting something I said in a chat with Steve Ivy: something:somet...
A reading list. About machine tags.
Jeremy Keith (adactio.com)After I wrote about the hoops I had to jump through to get Amazon’s API to output JSON (via XSLT), Tom detailed a way of avoiding JSON by using XML-RPC. That’s very kind of him but the truth is that: I like dealing with JSON and the XSL transformation is done by Amazon, not me; that wouldn’t b...
So when I wanted to find a Last.fm user’s profile picture—having figured out through Google’s Social Graph API when someone on Huffduffer has a Last.fm account—it made far more sense for me to use hKit to parse the microformatted public URL than to use the API method. ❧
So the secret to having one’s image appear in their Huffduffer account is to add a rel=”me” to one’s home page? What triggers the reparsing? I’m not seeing it pop up…

I thought day 2 was going to be a walk in the park. Hadn’t I hooked up to the YouTube API before? Turns out I couldn’t add the neccessary OAuth2 credentials anymore, because who knows. The goal was relatively simple. I want a single click solution to syncing my YouTube subscriptions with my feed reader. Currently I am relying on an OPML export function that may be dropped from their interface entirely.
This year round I thought I would have a go at one of those do-something-for-a-month challenges. #31Days, or “31 Days of …”, or whatever you want to call it. Inspired by the many friends from the IndieWeb community who have gone before me at the IndieWeb Challenge (2018).

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved i...
This year the conference is going to have a number of featured speakers for our plenary sessions. Instead of traditional keynotes this year’s plenary sessions will have different formats and includ…
My digital life in a nutshell: I discover relevant content I don’t have time to consume, I find time and become overwhelmed with my scattered backlog, I wish the content were in a different format, and then I’m unable to find something again once I’ve consumed it. Not retaining enough is a valid problem but we’ll tackle that one later. There’s a lot of generalization in my summary but the core issue is an extraordinarily high level of friction in the process of finding, organizing, and sharing digital content.

Ben Werdmüller (Ben Werdmüller)A personal update: I'm learning that I'm in the midst of real depression. In a world where I'm watching members of my family die, the country I live in deteriorate into fascism, the country I grew up in deteriorate in every possible way, and some other things that I don't want to write about here, i...
