There is order in the universe. I know, because on the very day that I finally knuckled down and wrote a pathetic little spreadsheet to do some bread calculations for me, the Gods of Serendipity put Running a bakery on Emacs and PostgreSQL in one of my RSS feeds, and my gob is smacked.

TIL: beets and bougainvillea are a lot more closely related than I ever imagined.

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 ...

Sorry about cluttering the timeline. Error diagnosed, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

"a podcast inspired by an Instagram account, covering the dating lives, drunken escapades, and makeup lines of superstar digital citizens"

Er, no. I don't think so.

I've been subscribing to Craig Mod for a couple of weeks, but missed this, so thanks. One tiny quibble. The footnotes in the quote go to Craig's site, which means that when I'm done reading them, I have no easy way to get back to you. I know, pretty minor. But still.

Note to future self: to clean up single-use tags in Pinboard, go to “manage” under tags and then “used once”.

And good luck with keeping up.

I'm glad you found something that works for you. I tried a similar thing myself (3 podcasts a week) for a while, and used Huffduffer to make the feed, but came across too many walled gardens to keep bothering.

“Amazingly, the link still works” 

Two amazing things

1) In a piece looking back over 1000 of his linkblog posts, Charles Arthur finds it remarkable that a link from 2010 still works.

2) The piece seems to be on Medium and nowhere else.

I reckon the two observatiuons are linked (haha). Which makes me wonder whether to even share this link. Will it still work in 2028? Or would Charles be better of owning his stuff somewhere else?
