Homebrew Website Club is tonight in Austin! 6:30pm at Mozart’s Coffee. Join us for a coffee and chat about the IndieWeb and plans for IndieWebCamp Austin. (Which will be February 23-24… Registration open soon.)

Decided to re-activate my @Flickr Pro.
New owner @SmugMug has been around for years and is passionate about photos. They’ve responded well to criticisms & suggestions (preserving CC photos). @DonMacAskill did an AMA recently that showed a lot of care and thoughtfulness: https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/comments/a71mh3/hi_my_name_is_don_macaskill_and_im_the_cofounder/

One example: “We are actively saving accounts for photographers who are no longer with us”.

Dear @Flickr, here are a few more to save. I lost a good friend last year (flic.kr/cindyli @CindyLi enwp.org/Cindy_Li), another the year before (flic.kr/bmindful @tedr), and another years ago (flic.kr/thebrad). I’m sure there are many more early Flickr users who have since passed away. Please speak-up if you know of any.

Flickr already has the best API of any photo site, and thus has the best Brid.gy support for IndieWeb sites wanting to syndicate to Flickr, and backfeed responses.

I have more positive thoughts about @Flickr’s future potential with its new owners, especially with respect to even better IndieWeb integration.  More on that later. For now, see the additional research and links being collected and documented by the IndieWeb Community:

And if you also decide to upgrade your Flickr account to Pro, there’s a 15% off code (FLICKRPRO15) that’s good until 2019-015.

I often focus on the scenes in travel photography, cutting out people wherever possible; however, after binge-reviewing my old albums, I've noticed that the best photos are always ones where people are interacting with the environment--even when they're tourists!

Today I bit the data management bullet and started reviewing old photos. Geeze, I've forgotten how tedious it can be reviewing photos en masse: selecting them, editing them, exporting them, properly arranging them into albums..,

I've not been great at photo management since Google nuked Picassa--a sort of light-weight version of Adobe's lightroom. I spent hours today untangling a mess of folders and directories housing photos from many computers ago. These photos are now largely sorted in Light Room, waiting for editing. I'm hoping their final resting place will be here on my server (with some redundancies, of course).

I have made an indieweb friendly Hugo theme with microformats that might suit a docs project https://github.com/ChristopherA/LifeWithAlacrityBlog/tree/master/blog/themes/indie-tufte
🎉 Huzzah! I now have my Trakt watch history publishing automatically to my website. I can mark an episode of a TV show or a movie as watched in Trakt, and a record will be created on my website! See – https://cleverdevil.io/2019/spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-2018 #OwnYourData #IndieWeb

@voss.co I take a similar approach to following people on Instagram. I wrote a little script that uses the private Instagram API to load my timeline and then I generate an h-feed out of it, which I subscribe to in my Microsub server. Works a treat!

Homebrew Website Club – Karlsruhe

My site broke, because the /2019 folder in my storage did not yet exist, and somewhere over the last year I added code that relied on that. So 19 years in, the Millennium bug is still active.

I updated mention.tech to output webmention.io compatible JSON for mentions eg https://mention.tech/listmentions?target=https%3A%2F%2Ftumblelog.xyz&json=on and modified fluffy's script to show them on https://tumblelog.xyz/ at https://tumblelog.xyz/webmention.js #indieweb

Apologies for the late notice, cancelling Homebrew Website Club SF tonight.

Not feeling 100%, and checked with Jacky to see if we could do a virtual one on Mumble so we’re going to try that.

See https://chat.indieweb.org/ for more or to join virtually!
#microformats2 parsing spec updated: http://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=microformats2-parsing&diff=66969&oldid=66967
* always parse alt with img src for accessibility info by default https://github.com/microformats/microformats2-parsing/issues/2
Implemented in current version of:
* mf2py - behind flag, in use by Brid.gy
This is a pretty big change, likely to require updates to parsers and calling code, however, the better access to accessibility info on img elements by default is a big improvement for all.
