An IndieWeb Book Club is a really interesting idea for people who like that sort of thing, but I am a bit Groucho Marx about clubs. I may get around to the book, or I may not, but right now I will watch from the sidelines.

Replied to a post on medium.com :

Very hard to believe that Tanner Campbell chose to put his very IndieWeb idea about podcasting on Medium rather than on his own domain. Of course, the idea will never work because the big players don't need it and the small ones won't hurt anyone by witholding their labour.

This news of a site for IndieWeb on Textpattern is very exciting. I used to use TXP back in the day for one of my sites, but moved it to WP. Maybe I'll move it back ...

Getting ready for two days of IndieWeb in beautiful Nürnberg.

Chris Aldrich's discussion of the rewarding discovery that a friend has read something that you are reading, before you see it in their feed, is spot on. It is fun. And it reminds me of two things. The most important is that I really need to get to grips with my tags, both in Zettelkasten and, perhaps even more importantly, in Pinboard.

The whole business of bookmarking, storing copies, highlighting and annotating remains a source of confusion for me. There are just too many moving parts. I quite like Chris' suggestion of making it a topic at a future IndieWeb Camp. I've got two projects on the go, either of which could be my thing in Nürnberg in a couple of weeks.

Have you taken a look at indieweb.org? There are people doing lots more than hinting.

Twitter weirdness. Ability to follow links seems to have changed. In Safari, with mu-block, I can click on a link shared directly by someone, but not on a link in a retweet. Is this a change in behaviour, or something I simply never noticed before? Or both.

Managed to find some time to join [virtual Homebrew Website Club](https://indieweb.org/events/2018-08-22-homebrew-website-club) today. If you're interested in and have a moment, come and join us.

It says here https://indieweb.org that "The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the 'corporate web'", but that's just a start and of course there is more to it than that. More a state of mind than a thing, I'd say.

@dgold if you are in IndieWeb IRC, can you figure out what just happened? Every one left in a hurry. Something about *.net *.split

For all the joy of the , and the pleasure of civil discourse, I am becoming incredibly confused by aspects of micro.blog. There’s the question of titleless posts, of which is this is one as an experiment, versus status updates. There are posts that appear to be contributions to an interesting conversation but aren’t because they have been cross-posted automatically from elsewhere. And there is the lack of a scroll back, which means that as I follow more people and choose not to check in the middle of my night, stuff vanishes irretrievably from my timeline.

There are also issues with Known that are nothing to do with micro.blog.

None of this is insurmountable. For me, though, it does add friction.

Flight booked for @indiewebcamp Nürnberg. This is getting real.

This is a perfect use of Huffduffer.com, to listen to audio with a specific tag where I might not want to subscribe to a that only occasionally deals with that topic.

I wonder whether I can use the Recipe plugin for @withknown to markup a recipe for and then copy the HTML to my own site?

Just for fun, I marked up my recipe for cornbread with syntactic tags that I hope meet the h-recipe spec. Not sure why. http://www.fornacalia.com/2017/cornbread-for-fornacalia

Testing syndication from Quill<p> </p>

Having switched Quill's endpoint to my new instance of WithKnown, I thought it only right and proper that my first post there be my first post from Quill.<p> </p>

A giant leap ... My own installation of in a sub-domain on my main site. Getting more serious about the , but lots more still to do.
