Integrating my website into the IndieWeb took longer than expected due to scattered resources and confusion. Should I do X or Y? Having too many options to choose from can lead to paralysis.

We don't want that, do we?

We want something simple, something that allows as many people as possible to get on board. An omakase 🍱.

Here's mine. You should start and finish everything within an hour at most!

Thinking of going in this direction for #geminiprotocol #webmentions. In short: send #titanprotocol requests to an endpoint with the target page as part of the parameters. The receiving server will verify the incoming request then store in a database. Finally, the server can generate comment pages on demand, or create static gemtext files. Then you just link to the comments from your gemlog posts.

Integration with webmentions themselves will require an HTML page that corresponds to the Gemini page, and both pages will need to be able to prove they're controlled by the same person. Then, the server will proxy incoming web mentions to the Titan endpoint.

Today I lised the 100th website in the bukmark.club directory.

It's been very enjoyable to visit the websites I listed in the past 6 weeks, re-discovering some of the personal, text- and image-based internet far away from dopamine drip feeds and walls of video advertising.

Happy World Piano Day¹!

Because there are 88 keys on a standard piano, the 88th day of the year was established as a day to “celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener”.

There are multiple websites about Piano Day:
* https://www.pianoday.org/
* https://www.worldpianoday.com/

And related #socialMedia and other profiles:
* https://www.instagram.com/pianodayofficial/
* https://linktr.ee/PianoDay
* Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2v022joEJ1ZUPi99NHDVNm?si=mmT4rDchTzW60KC3lsTksQ&nd=1&dlsi=2a348a57822c4217

I appreciate that Piano Day is on an ordinal day of the year (88th) rather than a Gregorian date (e.g. 8/8 or August 8th) which is subject to leap year variances. The 88th day of the year is the 88th day regardless whether it is a leap year or not.

From a standards perspective, we can express today’s Piano Day as 2024-088, an ISO ordinal date², however there is no standard date format for just "the 88th day of a year" without specifying a year (yearless).

There is (was) a way to specify a yearless month and day, like you might see as a birthday displayed on a social media site, without disclosing the year, or an annual holiday like May Day³, that is May 1st, without a specific year:

--05-01

This yearless date format (--MM-DD or shorthand --MMDD) was supported in the ISO 8601:2000 standard, but then dropped in the 2004 revision. This omission or deliberate removal was an error, because there are both obvious human visible use-cases (communicating holidays, and yearless birthdays as noted above), and other standards already depended on this yearless date format syntax (e.g. vCard⁴ and specs that refer to it like hCard and h-card).

Every version of ISO 8601 since 2000 has this flaw. Fixing (or patching) #ISO8601 is worth a separate post.

Returning to yearless ordinal dates, since they lack an interchange syntax, we can define one resembling the yearless month day format, yet unambiguously parseable as a yearless ordinal date:

---DDD

e.g. Piano Day would be represented as:

---088

We have to use three explicit digits because there's also pre-existing "day of the month" and "month of the year" syntaxes which are very similar, but with two digits:

--MM
---DD

This yearless #ordinalDate syntax (---DDD) is worth proposing as a delta "repair" spec to ISO 8601 (use-cases: Piano Day and others like Programmer’s Day⁵), alongside at least a restoration of the --MM-DD yearless month day syntax (use-cases: publishing holidays and yearless birthdays), perhaps also the ---DD day of the month and --MM month of the year syntaxes (use-case: language independent numerical publishing of Gregorian months and days of months), and propose adding a NewCal bim of the year syntax --B (numerically superior replacement for Gregorian months and quarters).

Since I've gotten exactly one webmention for my blog, I _obviously_ had to put some work in to display this webmention on my blog. 😄 Had to do some reading to figure out how to make Hugo download external resources, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Much thanks to https://webmention.io/. Still not implemented _sending_ webmentions yet though.

I am experimenting with adding #webmentions to my #geminiprotocol site. This will be accomplished by hooking up to https://webmention.io on the HTTP version of the site and then running a (for lack of better term) cron job to pull in received web mentions and add them to a comments page. I'm also starting to think about a native Gemini method of commenting. I also want to add webmention sends to #gemfreely.

@bentsai Not *exactly* about #IndieWeb / personal blogging but I think the @wedistribute podcast (from @deadsuperhero ) touches on a lot of common IndieWeb principles, i.e. empowering people, decorporatization, owning their own web, #openweb, etc… 6 episodes in and I've enjoyed each one!

Some great progress on my website!- decided to have a "reaction" page which collects all the comments from my personal #blog . Mainly because I don't like seeing posts lonely without. So They will all gather! Is not like I get any/lot (none) anyway.- added Captcha verification for the reactions and the #guestbook Hopefully saves me time on blocking spammers.- also joined the IndieWebRing!#indieweb #personalwebsite #webring #changelog ~ via http://marisabel.nl/social ~

So ... how *should* open platforms advertise their share intents? I made a #microformats proposal, but I'd love to talk about it. https://werd.io/2024/advertising-share-intents-with-microformats #indieweb #fediverse

I wonder which of them will go off and conquer BlueSky, setting off another to corral X, leaving the third in sole control of the Internet?

I cannot wait to see what happens when the second gets destroyed by X, giving the third the courage to invalidate the BlueSky conqueror and take all the Internets all for them-selves.

I've recently migrated to this personal / single-user #Mastodon instance and finally got around to writing about that "journey”, explaining how and why I did it.

https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social

It is but one more way in which I am pushing further into adoption of #indieweb #ownyourweb #ownyourdata #ownyoursocial ideas.

Honestly, the hardest part about the move was emotionally leaving infosec.exchange, I explain why in the post (https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social#thanks-to-infosecexchange). Thanks for everything @jerry 🧡!
