I Wrote This

These are my jams

Even the simplest possible static site requires site structure (organizing the files into a folder hierarchy) and a server that can respond to web requests with those files. A non-trivial site generally also requires some way to reuse HTML across pages. Where is all that represented in the first diagram?

My site has morphed over time. Used to self-host Wordpress and now 11ty. I'm updating again to add a side section for a digital garden. I haven't exactly figured out how I'm going to use but it will be good to have a spot where I can put things that aren't "blog-y" and it has been a fun little New Year project. Plus, all the kids are building Digital Gardens these days 😎 #indieweb #digitalgarden

New blog up on ferrell.rocks!

Why did I redo my website after neglecting it for so long? How did I do it? What does it mean for my website going forward?

It's all in there!

This was great.

The Foundation's Managing Director, @josh, recently completed a migration from managed Matrix with EMS to self-hosting using the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project. It was a tricky process, so we're sharing the details!

Whether or not you're migrating homeservers, or setting up a fresh homeserver, the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project greatly simplifies getting started with self-hosting.

More in today's blog post: https://matrix.org/blog/2024/01/migrating-from-ems-to-selfhosted-matrix/

31 days of #IndieWeb gifts: the _2023 IndieWeb Gift Calendar_ (https://indieweb.org/2023-12-indieweb-gift-calendar) wrapped up a full month of IndieWeb-related creations & updates from the community (and sometimes beyond) to everyone who wants to improve their #IndieWeb experience.

From plugins & libraries, to tools & services, to events & meetups, to web components & wiki pages, and blog posts & newsletters, there was something for everyone.

Some numbers:
🎁 67 total gifts
📄 32 new IndieWeb wiki pages
📜  7 posts on improving blogs, IndieWeb specs, and event summaries
💻  6 Homebrew Website Club online meetups
📫  5 This Week In The IndieWeb newsletters
🧱  4 library updates: new web components, #microformats2 parser update
🌉  3 Bridgy Fed updates & improvements
🧩  2 plugin updates: #Elgg IndieWeb & #WordPress #IndieAuth
🎪  1 #IndieWebCamp San Diego (2 days!)
📚  1 indiebookclub new year in review overview feature
📽  1 IndieWeb movie viewings aggregator
🧶  1 #Threads federating out #ActivityPub (followable by #BridgyFed)

Gift were shared by:
👥 20 individuals
🏢  1 company

I compiled these numbers by hand. Let me know if you see any errors. There are many more potential stats like:
* average (mean and median) number of gifts per contributor
* how many edits to the Gift Calendar wiki page
* how many different editors of the wiki page
* average (mean and median) number of edits per editor
I’ll leave those as exercises for others if they wish!

I have added some XSLT & CSS to my blog RSS feed so as not to frighten away non-techie users who stumble upon it (and also to encourage them to get an RSS Reader):

If there is sufficient interest, I’d love to find two or three other motivated developers to work with. I think I’m onto something, but its slow going on my own. I’ll get it to production eventually, but building a vibrant community is appealing to me. If you’re interested, hit me up. #IndieWeb
As I have shared, I’ve been working on a new platform for my website, built with Python, Flask, and DuckDB. Its fast, stores content on disk as JSON files, supports many “kinds” of content, IndieAuth, Micropub, etc. Its not open source, but I’d be curious to know if there are any develolpers out there who would be interested in collaborating. #IndieWeb

Should I read anything into the fact that the #Microformats 2 plugin hasn’t been updated in six years? #WordPress #IndieWeb

I posted about this in a reply earlier but I updated my website today! I don’t post very often on there, or at least haven’t in the past, but that was partially because managing it felt super clumsy. I am a developer but when I just want to post something or share something, I don’t want to have to go into Terminal or write markdown or whatever. I wanted a static site with a GUI admin and *finally* found a framework I like. Blog post soon but for now…new site!

Talking about "The Software Industry" makes about as much sense as talking about "The Music Industry".

It's the least interesting slice of both creative practices.

Look to the edges, the boundaries, the borders.
