.@wrightmderek Did you even read it? Not about "plant breeding". About thinking breeding for taste is something shockingly novel, in @kevinfolta's own words
@kevinfolta On second thoughts, also a repudiation of your ultimate goal, which I guess is IPR.
@kevinfolta Absolutely not a validation. A repudiation of your methods, not your goals.
Doing the same thing? Not at all. Pursuing a similar goal, and doing it very differently. @kevinfolta
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 #indieweb 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.
When it comes to a decibel meter on my iPhone, I really like SPLnFFT
I have an episode in the pipeline on just this subject; better promote it. @MatthewJDalby
I hope you enjoy what you discovered @skateboardad
Thanks @skateboardad Was that the one where I was decidedly husky? Or just the Gerry Mulligan opener?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@usfoodpolicy Made fresh an hour before? I don't see why not.
I read the Trump interview in The Economist and just thought "More grist to the mill". Others went to town on his pump priming.
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.
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.
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.
Many thanks @GrassBased. I'll add the graph to my original post, which had it from Seth.
Someone else finding wisdom in the Marie Kondo thing. I'm not the world's tidiest person, and I am a bit of a hoarder, but I live with someone who is both less tidy and more of a hoarder than me. That frustrates me, especially over shared spaces, which almost all of them are. Chris highlighted one passage which suggests that blaming someone else for their untidiness is really about one's own untidiness. I really don't see, though, how to impose tidyiness on another. I can put stuff back in the "right" place over and over again, doesn't seem to change anything.
Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he's "just going to publish her on my blog". I guess that means he's not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there's no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don't want to, you shouldn't. But I hope he'll still accept webmentions.
Pretty impressive, although why anyone would have any tabs open while they are (presumably) asleep is a mystery to me. But then, I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy.
NYT vs Beppe Grillo: Is the clown an anti-vaxxer? Seems unlikely the NYT would get this wrong.
I've followed Tim Bray via RSS for what seems like forever. And I'm glad he's committed to keep going. I wonder, though, whether he'll see this comment of mine. If not, he needs to embrace at least a part of #indieweb just a little more.
From the annals of bokeh comes this: "As a native speaker of Japanese, I have to point out that ōtofōkasu (オートフォーカス) means "autofocus", as in an AF camera. The romanization for "out-of-focus" would be autofōkasu (アウトフォーカス)."
Too perfect.
So interesting to read what @chrisaldrich has to say about the Seeing White podcast series. If somebody "born in South Carolina and then living in Georgia" can feel woefully ignorant, as I do, it reinforces what a great job John Biewen and his team are doing.
Just listened to @colinwalkers latest microcast. I'm not feeling the same excitement, perhaps because I wasn't in on the birth of Twitter, but I am enjoying watching various social spaces evolve and I agree that each documenting our steps adds up to something bigger.
@danielstucke The camera issue has been written about, and a fix demonstrated, but not yet accepted into the Known master. https://
@frenchtart No, those are pure spam. The NYT, no less.
"Well let’s start with a retail fact that 2016 was the first year that Americans spent more at restaurants and bars then at grocery stores. Where do you suppose this is taking us?" In the comments of an interesting piece by Grant McCracken. And all I can think is: really?
The global trade resource is almost as fascinating as the changing global diets website, with one huge proviso. The arrows go, roughly, from the centre of the exporting country to the centre of the importing country. That is, it completely ignores the reality of containerisation, which has had such a massive impact on food systems and much else besides. There's a new podcast series about it, called Containers, by Alexis Madrigal.
"The federated nature of Mastodon, GnuSocial, the blogosphere and indeed the multiply-linked web is now seen as confusing by those used to Twitter’s silo."
And also by those not used to Twitter's silo.
I think I'll wait until @cleverdevil's memory thing tweaks are in the Known core before adopting -- but I like the idea.
@LukasRosenstock Absolutely. Make it easy to host an indieweb capable domain and business can only grow.
Achievement unlocked (thanks to huge help from the #indieweb community) -- now receiving webmentions at Eat This Podcast. But lots still to be done.
Working my way through Chris Aldrich's guide to bringing Twitter @mentions home, and while the WP site is not responding, this #WithKnown site is. But, in the absence of a /mentions page, where on Earth are those backlinks going? And can I display them?
@MarkedApp It's not really a writing app though, is it? I love it for proofing.
@kevinmarks Interesting piece, although @Withknown didn't like @velartrill's URL
More great advocacy for the #indieweb from @chrisaldrich.
One of the things I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the different ways in which people use different silos. Some, obviously, are different. Like super short-form Twitter. But for the others? Is it just that they want to be where all their contacts are, or is there more to it than that? Heck, I can scarcely decide whether to put things on 10C or pNut or both, so I often don't bother.
Test reply to a post of my own.
On the mothership, could @timharford be the Undercover #Indieweb ber? https://
As I don't feed my sourdough daily, or take it for walks, or keep kosher much of what Rob Eshman says he learned about his sourdough contemplating Passover does not apply. But it makes for an interesting read nevertheless.
Some people have good examples of flat file with dynamic backlinks and stuff. I've seen versions with Jekyll and others mentioned.
Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I've kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don't want to shut it down until #WithKnown makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there's anything all that valuable there, but still ...
No problem. You did see the main article that the leader was commenting on? http://
I got excited when I saw Chris Aldrich's link to an article "In praise of quinoa" in The Atlantic. Synchronicity and all that. Turns out, it isn't in The Atlantic, but just the old Economist leader on the subject.
Heigh ho.
@mfbellemare Happy to change that. Thanks and kudos to Luc Christiaensen.
