Given Livefyre‘s origin as a commenting platform along the lines of Disqus and Intense Debate, this photo of their current offerings from Adobe makes it sound a lot like what the Webmention Open Spec does for my WordPress-based website.
After almost 19 hours of non-stop 15-30mph sustained winds, I’m glad that things seem to have finally calmed down!
I really love that I can post an event on my website and people can use their own websites to RSVP to it. It’s so simple, but it feels so magical.
Thanks David Shanske, Matthias Pfefferle, Ryan Barrett, and everyone else in the IndieWeb community who has either helped to create and/or supports the web standards that allow for the internet to work the way one expects it should.
In an effort to make my Twitter feed more useful (and hopefully less toxic), I’m curious what Twitter list you’re subscribed to that you find the most valuable?
What twitter list are you most honored to be a member of?
Your suggestions are appreciated!
It seems like ages since the move, but I’ve finally gotten all the pictures and artwork hung up on the walls now.
Prepping a turkey stock from the remains of yesterday’s feast.
I’ve been to thousands of hours of math lectures and tonight was the first time I saw an honest to goodness math accident! There weren’t buckets of blood, but there was quite a bit. Fortunately I came prepared with band-aids.
The injury was to the professor’s hand, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t due to excessive hand-waiving…
I haven’t been forced to use it in a while, but I just noticed that six of the last seven comments I’ve left on blogs using Disqus have been marked as spam. Typically they’re well reasoned, thoughtful, and very un-spammy. The one that wasn’t marked as spam was apparently done so by the site owner them self that ultimately noticed the issue and unmarked it.
I’m at a loss as to why the system would be marking them this way, particularly given my experience with how other systems flag things as spam. I feel like I’m being moderated out of existence by a poorly written algorithm.
I wonder if the blog owners are aware of what they’re missing out on by using such a painfully dreadful system?
In honor of Dodging the Memory Hole 2017 this week, for free (hosting and domain registration not included) I’ll offer to build one journalist or academic a basic IndieWeb-capable WordPress-based portfolio website to display and archive their personal work.
Preference will be given to those in attendance at the conference, but any who need an “author platform” for their work are welcome. Comment or reply below by 11/25/17 to enter.
Spent a chunk of the afternoon working on the book for NaNoWriMo. I’ve pushed out 1,214 words in sections on rel-me, themes, and added some additional outline material. It’s coming along at a nice clip. I’ve also worked on \label{key} and \ref{keys} for cross referencing things a bit more nicely to make the editing portion next month go more smoothly.
It dawns on me I ought to update my totals to date on the NaNoWriMo website. (Oops!)
I’ll come back later tonight to (hopefully) add some additional material, but here’s the count:
