Minimalism and Tidying Up by Wouter GroeneveldWouter Groeneveld (brainbaking.com)

I have a confession to make. I love cleaning up. Throwing things away. Tidying up. Getting rid of things. I have read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, The Story of Stuff, and The Power of Less. The appeal of minimalism is great, but it somehow never works. I also rebuy things in regret (see co…

Why I Play Games (And So Should You) by Wouter GroeneveldWouter Groeneveld (brainbaking.com)

Yesterday, after another quick (and disappointing) bicycle ride to the local retro game store, I started wondering: why do I actually still play video games? I’m 36 now, shouldn’t I stop doing that and find another decent and more respected hobby? That is what the funny looks thrown my way make …

Seb doet toetsenborden by an author (seblog.nl)

Het begon allemaal bij een foto die ik zag op een Discord-server. Ik ben al jaren (tien, ongeveer) een trouw gebruiker van de ingebouwde MacBook toetsenborden en de Magic losse varianten die Apple daarvan verkoopt. Daarmee dus ook Qwerty, de rechtopstaande Enter, en de §/±-knop, die ideaal is voor…

Social readers, a new way of thinking about social web interactions by James (jamesg.blog)

There was a discussion going on in the IndieWeb chat yesterday about feed readers. One big point that I took away is that developers must abstract away from technical terms that mean little to nothing for those who might use a tool. Technical terms are useful for implementation: they help developers…

Federated Bookshelves: Obsidian Notes To OPML by Ton Zijlstra (zylstra.org)

I have a working proof of concept to take individual book notes from Obsidian, turn them into an OPML list of books, and publish them on this webserver. As I had time off these past days I’ve allowed myself to do some code tinkering, resulting in the set-up shown in the image below.

Celebrate by Writing (ma.tt)

My birthday is coming up soon so it’s that time of the year when friends start reaching out and asking where they should fly to and how we’re going to celebrate.
After a good run in the post-vaccinated-and-boosted part of 2020 that felt relatively “normal”, including traveling almost 200k mi…

Styling Newsletter Digests in Micro.blog by Amit GawandeAmit Gawande (amitgawande.com)

I recently changed the newsletter to a weekly digest instead of every long-form posts with Micro.blog. A fixed schedule is better for me than thinking about whether to include as part of the newsletter every time I post a post with a title. Until there is a better control (via categories) on what po…

Mad Meccano by Peter RukavinaPeter Rukavina (ruk.ca)

I just picked up a grocery order from Sobeys—the fancy one across the river in Stratford. It was my first time ordering groceries online, but COVID times, and being responsible to a “steady 10” bubble, called for pivoting.

Constraint-based Creativity by Wouter GroeneveldWouter Groeneveld (brainbaking.com)

The whispering whizz of mowing scythes startled sleepy birds nesting near the ancient Nile Delta. Workers harvest the papyrus plant quickly and efficiently, before the unbearable heat of the Egyptian sun turns the slave labor into an even bigger nightmare. The fibers of these plants were to be conve…

Drummer to WordPress! by john john (John’s World Wide Wall Display)

Frank’s technique works. This is my second test.
The possibilities for using Drummer just opened up for me. The script looks as if it is going to open my eyes a bit.

Great to see this script used in the wild for the first time John! And good to see it just works. Well, sort of. I’m glad you had the authorization figured out. On the use of Basic Auth, I don’t have a specific plugin for this. Since WordPress 5.6, you can use REST API authentication…

The Demise (of Twitter as) Backchannel(s)? by Ton Zijlstra (zylstra.org)

Getting Started Blogging with Drummer by Amit GawandeAmit Gawande (amitgawande.com)

I recently started blogging with Drummer, a new Outliner made public by Dave Winer. It has been a wonderful experience. I don’t know what it is about a single outline as a base for your blog, but it feels natural. I have been enjoying writing and playing around with my Drummer blog. However, it is…

Amit heeft een fraaie post hoe je kunt starten met Drummer, het nieuwe outliner-based blogsysteem van Dave Winer. Hij beschrijft wat een outliner is en hoe je het als blogsysteem kunt gebruiken. Als je in de markt bent om eens wat anders te proberen dan WordPress, dan is Drummer zeker de moeite om te bekijken.…

I’ve missed the latest IndieWeb popup gathering on digital gardens and streams (thanks Frank for bringing that up).

To do so, I realised I would have to read, understand, and interpret a W3C spe…
