@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://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/the-undercover-indiewebber
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://www.economist.com/news/international/21718508-west-africans-are-eating-more-asians-asians-are...
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.
[Siri and flatulence]http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=31831): It cannot tell the difference between a labiodental fricative and an anal fricative. Let alone distinguish between when you're saying something sensible and when you're talking out of your ass.
Really interested in being able to use Foursquare to log where I am and have the additional detail show up on my Known site.
@JaysonLusk The real problem is with that word "guarantee". Nothing, not even eating well, can guarantee good health.
@LonelyBob I'll take a look at this new breaker.audio app, but so far can't quite see the point.
"It’s a world wide web out there. There’s plenty of room for everyone. And I, for one, love reading the words of others."
Can't disagree with that -- and I love reading the words of Jeremy Keith.
@AubreyNPRFood There's still life and liberty ... No, wait.
@nicolakidsbooks that accounts for the very relaxed line. I hope.
Right, and I'm using a multi-CMS approach in a similar, though not as complex manner. @raretrack
@allysseriordan Wonderful reminder of my own walk along Offa's Dyke, far too long ago.
Nifty (though I haven't tried it yet). Useful tool for setting SoundCloud audio free if ever the huffduffer snarfer is not working.
Do you know anything as #indieweb capable as @withknown out of the box @raretrack ?
Jonathan LaCour (aka @cleverdevil) has done a fine job of articulating what it might take to make the web more interesting again. That it contributes to my feeling of being hopelessly underpowered might conceivably add to my motivation.
Another reason we need to own our data -- because Manton's fourth tip links to a post on app.net that is now, of course, dead and buried ... unless it lives elsewhere. #indieweb
@KitchenBee Surely brains aren't all that clean. Or are they?
In the end, I don't think it is worth the extra faff. It is easy enough to mark up by hand for recipes. There really are only a couple of extra things to watch out for and I have got snippets for the more complex ones now. Need to check again, but I think it is all working.

I'm totally in shock of the nicest kind after reading what @chrisaldrich had to say about Eat This Podcast.
@chrisaldrich Funny you just listened to that. More on "good" industrial food here http://www.eatthispodcast.com/good-industrial-food/

Amen to that.

We have all become such suckers for a bargain that we take the low prices of our foodstuffs for granted and are somehow unable to connect these bargain-basement prices to our children’s inability to find meaningful work at a decently paid job.
@AgroBioDiverse Guilty as charged.
"Every 10 percent price increase in unhealthy foods and drinks was associated with a trend toward lower BMI (per 10 percent price increase: -0.06 kg/m2), this did not achieve statistical significance"
So, why report it?

I looked briefly at 60dB when it was announced, and came to much the same conclusion, that while it is an interesting idea and may end up being a sort of personalised stream of short-form audio, it didn't seem to address discovery in the long tail. I've enough long-form to be getting on with, that's for sure, and that's what I, personally, would like more of.
@AgroBioDiverse I can find you recipe plans. Basically, brown rice and some fruit and veg, with bits and bobs of other stuff.
@ThatAliceCooks A word to the wise; don't pour all into the pan at once! As I know YOU know. But you never know who doesn't know.
@_dgoldsmith Thanks Daniel. I will write up a more detailed account, and try to remember to link to it from here.
@Dr_RJByrne I'm sure it isn't easy, but it could be done.
@Dr_RJByrne There's a global shortage of opiates; why not give the farmers a real chance at higher incomes?
Took a long while, working out how best to format and then doing it by hand, but I am now reasonably happy with the look of the noters and highlights brought home from Kindle. As a matter of styling, perhaps the Kindle location of the text could be less prominent, but that's probably gilding the lily.
What I've learned is that it probably pays to take more time when actually highlighting the text and writing the notes. But the clunky Kindle keyboard does one no favours. #indieweb
Well, it has been a long couple of days, but I have created pages to bring my reviews out of Goodreads and my highlights and notes out of Kindle. Still need to do a bit of styling; where there is a note attached to a highlight, it would be good to be able to have them side by side, as it were. Trouble is, the styling that Kindle delivers out of the box does not make that easy. #indieweb
I wasn't aware of the Limited Offensive Unit before, but I'm glad I am now. Very apt.
Spent a little while looking into embeds, as recommended, and it seems like it could be worthwhile. I tested the native embed, as it were, by tacking /embed onto a URL, and it is not very attractive. But customising the embed by using the other image and the audio will take a bit of work. I have found some useful resources for that, notably https://www.sitepoint.com/customizing-wordpress-oembed-content/ for the code needed.
Might also be worth implementing a different audio player on the site -- using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/pb-oembed-html5-audio-with-cache-support/ -- but still feeding it the blueberry version of the audio URL to maintain continuity of stats.
