Meanwhile, in California, pollution is coming from somewhere else entirely ... http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2017/08/pollution-from-illegal-pot-farms-is-way-worse-than-we...

Jeremy Cherfas

@_MatthewDillon And, of course, you won't be surprised to learn that we got a lot of utterly misdirected flak for that.

Jeremy Cherfas

Of course, and I wasn't suggesting for a minute that not being able to grok something is any reason to give up on it.

It was more my way of excusing myself from having so much difficulty understanding what was happening in the black box without opening it up to investigate fully.

In the meantime, my Mom uses FB (but not Twitter) and doesn't see much from me there because I don't cross-post much. And we're both OK with that.

Jeremy Cherfas

Not sure whether you mean incoming webmentions or outgoing webmentions that aren't working, but for outgoing, there's no class="u-in-reply-to" on your post about Colin Walker's post.

Jeremy Cherfas

@TamarHaspel True; just as bread, beer and wine aren't biotechnology.

Jeremy Cherfas

@EarbudsPodCol Hey, thanks. Anything I can do to help?

Jeremy Cherfas

@pazzobooks Thanks Tom. Not all history. Today, the future of wheat @meanlouise @/besslovejoy

Jeremy Cherfas

@SnackBattlesPod Thanks for the mention; hope you're enjoying it.

Jeremy Cherfas

This is all a bit tense, but with any luck there's a chance that this reply will soon show up, suitably styled, on the Mothership. When (if?) it does, there will be dancing in the streets.

Jeremy Cherfas

Not going too well, is it?

Jeremy Cherfas

@AgroBioDiverse @foodingreenwich How many boxes of micro greens before I could afford one of these http://modernfarmer.com/2017/07/aquaponics-home-modern-farmer-review-turnkey-aquaponics-systems-leve...

Jeremy Cherfas

@foodingreenwich Wish I could read the price on those.

Jeremy Cherfas

@LonelyBob I think it is good to know what goes on in those places, for better (preferably) or worse.

Jeremy Cherfas

@nicolakidsbooks Can't wait. And we'll bring our crayons.

Jeremy Cherfas

@LonelyBob Does this mean I should or should not watch Okja?

Jeremy Cherfas

The Instagram-Atom feed is working perfectly. Better yet, it shows the individual images in a slideshow, or what ever IG calls it, separately. So happy.

Jeremy Cherfas

Buona fortunate con la sperimentazione. Se stai a Roma, forse ci incontriamo per sapere più di indieweb?

Jeremy Cherfas

@shosh_yossef Whatever platform you choose, you might also want to consider being more http://indieweb.org

Jeremy Cherfas

Thanks Chris. I'm using 0.9.9 The likes with stars are from Quill, those without are bookmarks from Known directly.

Jeremy Cherfas

Rats! All links, here and at boffosocko, link back to the article, not out to NYT.

Jeremy Cherfas

Flippin' useless, @withknown import.

I winnowed the stopping place down by searching for things, using that splitting by halves technique, and discovered that the Import had choked after 318 lines -- of 12058.

In reality, I ought to just give this up, but I'll have a quick look at the database and see if I can't screw that up.

Jeremy Cherfas

For the sake of completeness, and as a necessary stage in my web plans, I am now going to attempt to extract my files from vaviblog.com and import them here.

We're both on the same version of , so it Should Just Work, right?

Jeremy Cherfas

Disable Markdown, and nothing changes in the bookmarklet editing window. So there IS an issue.

Jeremy Cherfas

> I pray that you've known this all along, you'll forgive my "indiesplain", and that I'm not catching the subtlety of your original post.

[That post is here](http://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/why-the-indieweb).

Thanks to Chris Aldrich for reminding me of the bookmarklet, which I do sometimes use, and which I sometimes forget to use.

I do seem to vaguely remember that there was a bit of a problem with Markdown. So let me test that here, with some **bold** and *italics*.

Seconds later: As I feared ...

I probably have to abandon Markdown. But why should I have to? People have been asking for the ability to switch on a per post basis forever.

Jeremy Cherfas

Of course one can do it by hand. Manual till it hurts and all that. But one shouldn't have to. I am not a developer so I don't know how hard it would be to give the New Post entry form the same Reply field that Status has. And logically, I would have thought a Post was more likely than a Status actually to be a reply.

Jeremy Cherfas

Glorious listening. @nicolakidsbooks run, don't walk, to hear this. http://www.npr.org/2017/07/06/534316420/first-listen-offa-rex-the-queen-of-hearts

Jeremy Cherfas

That is precisely what I am unhappy about @niederhuth Thanks for taking the time to read.

Jeremy Cherfas

Jeremy Cherfas

Which I said where, @wrightmderek ?

Jeremy Cherfas

.@wrightmderek Did you even read it? Not about "plant breeding". About thinking breeding for taste is something shockingly novel, in @kevinfolta's own words

Jeremy Cherfas

@kevinfolta On second thoughts, also a repudiation of your ultimate goal, which I guess is IPR.

Jeremy Cherfas

@kevinfolta Absolutely not a validation. A repudiation of your methods, not your goals.

Jeremy Cherfas

Doing the same thing? Not at all. Pursuing a similar goal, and doing it very differently. @kevinfolta

Jeremy Cherfas

Giving myself a quick break by reading Lukas Rosenstock's monthly review, and coming away with a few thoughts. One is that Lukas is brave, as he recognises, to admit that some things aren't going to plan. Another is that he used six Pomodori to write the review; that seems like time well spent. Another is that he mentions a few tools that are new to me and that I ought to check out. But there's the rub. There's no point checking them out unless I plan to make some use of them.

I do my monthly reviews OK, although June is delayed until next weekend because I have paid work to finish. Should I publish them, and hold myself publicly accountable? Lots of enthusiasts are driven by data-logging themselves and making the results available. I don't think I am, although I can see the benefits of tracking and setting specific goals.

Jeremy Cherfas

When it comes to a decibel meter on my iPhone, I really like SPLnFFT

Jeremy Cherfas

I have an episode in the pipeline on just this subject; better promote it. @MatthewJDalby

Jeremy Cherfas

I hope you enjoy what you discovered @skateboardad

Jeremy Cherfas

Thanks @skateboardad Was that the one where I was decidedly husky? Or just the Gerry Mulligan opener?

Jeremy Cherfas

I didn't get to the whole week like Calum did, but his thoughts on the Nürnberg IndieWebCamp mirror mine pretty exactly.

I am planning to take part in the virtual HomeBrew Web Club on 31 May 2017 at 5:30 CEST.

Jeremy Cherfas

I enjoyed my first IndieWebCamp every bit as much as Amber, although I achieved far less. Still there I am, geeking out with Aaron who, like everyone else, was a champ.

Jeremy Cherfas

Trying out this new-to-me thing called grok, which allows me to reach my local dev site from outside, which I hope will make debugging some things easier. So leaving this as a reply to a post there.

Jeremy Cherfas

Replied to a post on micro.blog :

The key is in that word "displaying". They're arriving fine. My hangup is getting my CMS to deal with them meaningfully. But I **am** making progress.

Jeremy Cherfas

Has that happened? I checked about 20 minutes ago and my @indiehosters was still on the previous release. Still old version at 16 May 2017 1:41 pm

Jeremy Cherfas

@usfoodpolicy Made fresh an hour before? I don't see why not.

Jeremy Cherfas

I read the Trump interview in The Economist and just thought "More grist to the mill". Others went to town on his pump priming.

Jeremy Cherfas

I'm replying to this post for two reasons. First, the recipe does indeed sound amazing. Second, and potentially more importantly, I want to see whether Aaron Dalton is actually receiving and displaying webmentions with the Grav plugin he wrote. If he is, that will give me an incentive to continue.

Jeremy Cherfas

Funnily enough, after writing that, I had a session bringing in some old posts and doing far more in a text editor rather than in the Grav front end. It proved to be a much more satisfactory an experience overall. I think if I build up a few snippets that allow me to easily produce the YAML front matter that slightly different posts require, then that will be the way to go. I still need to use the front end to check that everything is working, especially where there are images, but other than that, I think it is easier.

Glad you like the tweaks to presentation.

My big task now is to enable comments, so that I can enable webmentions. I'd like to make some progress on that before IWC Nürnberg.

Jeremy Cherfas

How to fold and store T-shirts alone is worth the price of admission.

Leading by example just doesn't work when the places where it matters most are completely shared. There's no my space and your space in our kitchen, for example.

Jeremy Cherfas

Many thanks @GrassBased. I'll add the graph to my original post, which had it from Seth.
