Improving my Grav templates

A couple of back-burner projects are simmering nicely. Mapping I wrote about recently.1 Today I turned back to working on micropub to add posts to this site. I have now worked out how to send two different kinds of post to two different places in the file system. Both are what you might call notes (indeed I call them Notes) but some are little status update notes and others are bookmarks.2 The way Grav works is that each file lives in a folder and Grav uses a specific template to display the contents of the file. I wanted a way to visually distinguish the two kinds of note; I chose different icons in the title. More this way ...

An Indieweb Podcast - Episode 10: The Thrilla in Manilla

I’m going to Indiewebcamp NYC.

Are any #indieweb folks heading to #ghc2018 this year? If there's any interest, I'd love to have an ad-hoc homebrew website club!

The power of self-publishing - HankChizlJaw

This is something I struggle to articulate to friends who are suffering because they feel tied to silos like Facebook and Twitter:

What self-publishing does is provide me a choice, which makes me feel good. I feel like I can step away from platforms at will and I don’t feel as shackled as I have done previously.

#indieweb #publishing #ownership #writing #sharing #silos #twitter #medium #personal #choice #empowerment

I’ll try to write up a blog post about it tomorrow. The short version which will sound super jargon heavy: I use the IndiePaper service to parse the page and send content to my Microsub Server, Aperture. I use a Microsub Notifier app that watches for new posts in my saved channel, and sends those posts to my Kindle email.

Several people are writing

Things are getting pretty cool with a combination of Micropub and Microsub compatible tools and services I have complete control over my own reading list (bye bye Instapaper and Pocket) and it even pushes the articles to my Kindle!
@Christo37433424 Your logs or even database may indicate better where it came from, but most likely it's a malformed received webmention or one without data. I've seen one or two in the wild, but unsure what may have caused it.
I thought it might be from me, https://boffosocko.com/2018/09/04/my-first-experience-with-indieweb-christopher-tomilson/ but the dates don't align.

Going to IndieWeb Summit 2018

What I did Sep1 - Sep7

Indieweb-stuff:

  • Tried to federate my indiewebsite so that I could interact with mastodon through it (unsuccessfully)

  • Hacked together a websub hub which passes all of the websub.rocks tests.

  • Rebuilt large chunks of my site---particularly the back-end---so that the posting interface is nicer and easier to test.

  • Factored out my markdown albums, webmentioning, and hashtag extensions into separate repos which I can independently maintain.

  • Hooked up webmentions again so that I can see webmentions as part of an ongoing effort to improve usability of federation.

  • Hooked up in_reply_to again, so that I can send webmentions. This also lets me reply-tweet using brid.gy

  • Started posting albums and articles I'd held off on posting.

Reading:

  • Research proposals from different disciplines to figure out how I want to structure my candidacy document.

  • Bickhard's interactivism and process metaphysics

  • Anthony Chemero's take on representationalism

Other stuff

  • Karaoke 🎤
  • Symphony under the sky
  • Knitting an aran sweater I designed
  • Yoga 🧘
