Still puzzled by why some photo posts in Known go through to micro.blog with an image and others don’t. Almost all are PESOS from Instagram. I thought I had an explanation, but it doesn’t hold up.

Read it and weep (tears of joy). Bonnie Ohara of Alchemy Bread tells some of the story of her home-baking operation and how she has helped to create and nourish her local community. http://www.alchemybread.com/blog/2018/1/8/a60p0pdh15xudsrj7wu0qar0s8ix82

For all the joy of the #indieweb, 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.

Drawing a perfectly straight line from The Crown s02e05 (Lord Altrincham) to It’s A Royal Knockout and beyond.

I’m not sure I want links to open in micro.app. There doesn't seem to be a setting to change that behaviour.

Hey @jack: the link to caption all of my photos at [Why My Photos Remain on My Hard Drive](https://www.baty.net/2017/why-my-photos-remain-on-my-hard-drive/) is broken. Probably because it may be relative. Just chasing up on @bsag's recommendations.

Mozart in the Jungle (Amazon Prime) is really rather fun, based on the one episode we have watched.

In so many respects, marijuana is a mirror of food, as noted at the mothership https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/marijuana-goes-mainstream

A late contender for the best thing about #food I have read all year. Michael Lewis's feature Made in the U.S.D.A. goes inside Trump’s cruel campaign against the U.S.D.A.’s scientists https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/11/usda-food-stamps-school-lunch-trump-administration

Patreon is stepping back, and that’s great. But there announcement prompted me to do something about supporting the podcast, and I’m not going to change that.

Had to abandon the latest Gravy podcast because the levels were so all over the place. Pity; it seemed pretty interesting.

What is @dropbox actually doing when it is "indexing," why does it need to do it so often, and why does it hog my computer while it does it?

Fascinating conversation with Jess Phillips on @tppolitics_ especially the bit at about 29:15 when she said: “We are basically retweeting away our liberty.”

And yes, I am aware of the irony. Which is why I posted this on my own site first

Just a quick check that I can take advantage of the new, twice-as-nice Twitter.

Narrowing things down. I can post a photo to Known from my desktop with OS X.

I don’t expect it to show up on micro.blog because that gets a feed of selected categories only, and Photos isn’t one of them.

How about an image in a post?

Blast. I can’t seem to upload images to micro.blog or to WithKnown. I’ll have to work on that tomorrow.

So, double the characters for all on Twitter. Does this mean twice the outrage and hate, or will there be an outbreak of finely expressed, carefully nuanced peace, love and understanding?

iTunes 12.7.0 or maybe OS X 10.13 has stolen my song artwork. That is, it no longer appears in preview, although it is still visible in iTunes. I need this for podcast cover art. So here's hoping that it is there and will show in podcast players.

It is odd how [John’ prizewinning post](http://johnjohnston.info/blog/wordpress-wild-and-freehe-though-that-he-knew-what-love-wa/) gives too many redirects when I first go there, and is fine if I reload. @c

It may be a fine Saturday morning, but that doesn’t mean I can lie in bed forever.

Puzzled that my feed from reading.am does not seem to have updated since three days ago, and I know I have added things since then. Went there to check and discovered I was no longer logged in. But then, why did the pages I marked as "reading" not tell me that I wasn't logged in? Bad!

Test: Reconnected to the old DB, deleted all previous tokens, re-authorised. The suspense is killing me.

Doing a clean install of Known at Dreamhost to trouble shoot my issues with micro.blog (and the instructions). I **will** get this sorted out.

Am I now completely shut out of micro.blog, and if so why?

Wouldn't it be nice if micro.blog could talk to WithKnown as well as listening to it.

Following people from inside the micro.blog iOS app currently seems impossible. There's no search that I can see. If I get to their mb page and click follow I am supposed to log in again. I just want to help @jeffperry if I can.

Just set a reminder for three months time so that I can continue to enjoy a chronological, ad-free, unmessedaboutwith stream of photos from Instagram, thanks to instagram-atom.appspot.com

Ok. I will boycott twitter today. As I post less than once a day on average, I'm not sure anyone will notice.

"Love” is not a common or usual name of an ingredient" I just love how the #FDA took Nashoba Brook Bakery to task. Because, truly, it is important to make sure that labels always tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, right? https://www.foodpolitics.com/2017/10/fda-says-love-is-not-a-food-ingredient/

By what insane twisted logic of airport security theatre is it OK to have soft cheese in the hold but not in the cabin? Bereft

All packed and ready for trip that culminates at #hearsay17, hoping that cheap Irish airline doesn't notice the weight of my handbag.

Wouldn't it be cool if micro.blog had whatever it takes to work with Launch Centre under iOS?

I'm sure I wrote this yesterday, but it seems to have vanished without trace.

Quick gotcha: I moved this WithKnown site from shared hosting to a VPS yesterday, and today photos were not displaying and not uploading. Turned out that in the move the path to the Uploads directory had not changed. Fixed that, and all seems to be well again. I hope.

At last. Just heard the first, faint rumblings of thunder. Bring it on!

Just seen a lizard with a bifurcated tail, both bits equally long and slender, by the compost. Never before.

And lo! The two series that vanished from Netflix last night were back tonight. I am no longer peeved, but I am mystified.

Netflix just vanished two shows I was in the middle of watching. I am extremely peeved.

What with the London and Dublin podcast festivals, I reckon #hearsay2017 should be a blast. @thisheadstuff @hearsayfestival

I wonder what Jonathan Meades means when he describes a specific kind of English meatball as "a big ralph"
