Hey there, I finished my blog page, as well as my latest article about text art history :kirby_happy:

I've yet to convert it to be mobile-friendly- when I do, I'll let you know as well!

More Thoughtful Reading & Writing on the Web - Tantek

The combination of taking more time (as longer form writing encourages) and publishing on a domain associated with your name, your identity, enables & incentivizes more thoughtful writing. More thoughtful writing elevates the reader to a more thoughtful state of mind.

#introduction

Hi, I'm David.

I design, create, and write about things. I was raised in the UK but now live in Luxembourg with my wife, two kids, and a number cats.

I started programming when cpus had 8 bits and V.32 was new. I've worked with blue chip titans to small code shops. I’m currently involved with #IndieWeb and have implemented IndieAuth, TicketAuth, Micropub, Microsub, and WebSub; development in #GoLang on the server and #GoLang and #SwiftUI on the client.

Tomorrow I'll be interviewing @pfefferle for the Press This podcast. We'll talk about his #ActivityPub plugin for #WordPress and his Open Web Lead at #Automattic.

Do you have any questions you'd like me to ask Matthias tomorrow about his plugins, the #IndieWeb, or the #fediverse? Let me know and I'll try to include them.

Is there any downside to using #LetsEncrypt's #certbot to get free SSL certs for my sites? Like, are they considered "good" certs? I really don't have anything too sensitive going on on my sites, save for a git repo, so I'm not too pressed about the quality. But, is there some gotcha I'm missing?

Screenshot of How I am blogging the IndieWeb way

Seriously considering a trip to Nuremberg to attend IndieWebCamp.

In this post, i outline how I'm blogging the #Indieweb way - by pivoting from "magazine mode" to "digital garden".

Lol I finally found the long lost Bridgy tutorial! FYI this program allows your social media post replies to appear as comments on your blog.

Okay, I'm going to try syndicating an #indieweb reply from my website to Mastodon...

Dave Winer:

“Open web” is redundant

I like IndieWeb because it emphasizes smaller, more distributed sites run by people, not big companies. But Dave is right. The default for the web is openness.

@manton Nice point. #indieweb #fediverse The wild west web - open. Corporate/commercial web - closed.

If you're attending @marcthiele's and my border:none conference on October 26-27 and are in town anyway, you might be interested to know that @tantek.com and I will also be hosting the first #IndieWebCamp in #Nuremberg since 2018 right after #bono23 (on Saturday and Sunday). Don't miss the chance to join us if you're up for some great conversations and tinkering with your personal site (existing or yet to be created). It's free and will be fun! 🌞

#IndieWeb

#indieweb for the win.

"In 2009, I got a #tumblr & it changed my life. Every single thing I have in life I owe to Tumblr.... I was working a really garbage temp job & kind of going nowhere, and like deeply, deeply depressed.

.. this girl that I shared a cubicle with introduced me to Tumblr, & I had never been exposed to so many interesting people & communities. And it just really changed my life because I realized, 'Wow, there’s actually this whole world out there.'”

last night i wrote a short daily note and released 2 others i wrote last week so i'll link them here now

Oct 1: Where are the daily notes? https://realja.me/dailynote/where-are-the-notes.html
"Short answer: I've been spending my time working on Micrathena!"

Sep 28: I need to blog more https://realja.me/dailynote/blog-more.html
"I have a lot of ideas for daily notes while my blog is collecting dust. Why? I think it comes down to being too lazy for the detail I want to put into blog posts - which ends up leaving my blog not having any blog posts. I really just need to lower my standards and write."

Sep 25: Thoughts on corru.observer (it's very cool) http://realja.me/dailynote/corru-observer.html
"corru.observer is a very strange website. It's an interactive story that's part 3D game, part visual novel, part website. Hypertext fiction at its finest."
