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 in one of my RSS feeds, and my gob is smacked.
A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.

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 ...

@jack I bet on Textdrive, and lost in the SNAFU, but learned in the process that lifetime means nothing in tech circles.

@jeremycherfas I'd forgotten about my "lifetime" membership at Textdrive! That was fun, while it lasted.

@jeremycherfas i had a lifetime membership as well. wishful thinking.

@donovanwatts As @jack says, fun while it lasted. But the way Joyent handled it left a very bad taste in the mouth.

@jeremycherfas agreed about the way joyent handled it all. very messy. i’m glad to have moved on from that once it became clear that things were not going to work out.

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.

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.

“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 . Will it still work in 2028? Or would be better of owning his stuff somewhere else?
@jeremycherfas Textpattern was nice. I wrote a flickr gallery plugin in 2004-ish when my blog ran on it. I also bet heavily (and lost) on Textile for markup. Good to see it's still kicking. Reminds me that I miss Dean Allen.
