Doing a little tidying up on my site and wondering whether there's a preferred font-awesome icon for micro-blog.

Oh bother. Newsblur.com is down. Now I'll have to think of something else to do while I procrastinate.

I tried posting from micro.blog (on ios) to my site, and all I got was an error message. Not easy to debug. So now I’m trying from the OSX app. Sorry if I disturbed anyone.

I see @cygnoir has just asked Samuel Clay to add sharing to micro.blog to Newsblur. It would be even better to support any site with Micropub. That would be so worthwhile an addition to a great feed reader.

How to discourage enterprise in the English countryside

1 min read

I have only seen one side of Nick Snelgar's dispute with his local planning authority but I have no reason to doubt what I've seen there. To me it seems indisputable that, no matter what politicians like Michael Gove may say, there is no real desire to allow small farmers to reform the farming and food landscape in England.

What's the problem?

Over at Scripting News, Dave Winer says:

Every blog should have a Subscribe button. In an open ecosystem this is a problem, a problem that silos don't have. Which is the advantage Twitter (a silo) has over the open web.

I guess I'm not smart enough to see what that problem might be.

That’s a bit of a disappointment. Daily Kos won’t play nicely with Instapaper.
