A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
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://
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.

I dunno. I see this and I think of something I wrote a while back: . Does the #IndieWeb really need to make indie copies of everything the silos offer? Even the workarounds?
Maybe I misunderstand, and a feature like this is what weans people off the silo pap. All I know is, I don't think it would work for me.
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.

Finished the first phase of moving two WordPress driven sites from one hosting service to another this morning. I was a bit wary, having read all the things that can go wrong, and I took a few wrong turns into dead ends. But I managed to back out and didn't screw up too badly on the first one. The screwing up I did accomplish was mainly the result of my impatience, doing things in quick succession when I should have given them time to settle down in between. But I learned my lessons, and this morning's transfer went much more smoothly. Scarily so, in fact.
There's plenty left to do, moving various ancillary things, all part of an ongoing effort to tidy up in general, but I don't foresee any more difficulties, touch wood.
And in case anyone cares, I couldn't have done it nearly as easily without the Duplicator plugin for WordPress, which truly is a life saver.

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.
