"Random, scattered, diverse, subconscious, thoughts and feelings, swirling around, just waiting for the right moment to come along, and coalesce into a solution called creativity. And that eureka moment isn’t only a setting, a place, it’s also a time."

@disassociated wrote about how creative thoughts spark at various places at various times in this #IndieWeb Carnival entry.

Such a beautiful way to frame it.

I've been playing around with different search engines recently .

I'm currently using Marginalia, and I've just discovered they have an interesting site overview page for any indexed domain, for example:

Building on the idea of an IndieWeb zine - Benjamin Parry

Speaking of zines, I really like Benjamin’s ideas about a web-first indie web zine: using print stylesheets with personal websites to make something tangible but webby.

#zines #print #indieweb #stylesheets #css #urls #personal #publishing #independent

This list is a GOLDMINE of great websites

after much configuration and long build times, I have managed to upload the 130+ albums from my :bandcamp: Bandcamp page to Faircamp, the amazing site generator by @freebliss for music catalogs by artists and/or labels.

Found an interesting plugin for Obsidian called Webpage Export https://github.com/KosmosisDire/obsidian-webpage-export. Really interesting for building simple static websites. You'd build you things in Obsidian as usual, click export et viola you have static html to upload wherever you want. I'm still considering where it will fit in my online life. I may rip and replace everything or just add on as a digital garden. #indieweb #obsidian

@writingslowly wrote a brilliant entry for #IndieWeb Carnival, discussing how our notes and the tooling we use to write them, acts as a creative environment. The aesthetics of our writing experience can affect our creativity!

Question for my #indieweb pals - are there times where you just want to start over? Like I keep itching to just clear the slate with my site and begin again but then I really don't want to.

Maybe it's just an itch to start a new site or project. But I'm not even sure if I want to do that!

GAH

I'd like to create a /Listening page on my blog, and embed a "now playing" widget, as well as a listening history. 🤔

Happy to see my little site's reached 10k unique visitos in the last 30 days on a Monday morning.

It probably includes tons of bot traffic, but it's nice anyway.

What about using #Usenet 1 again? With small servers like leafnode 2 we can make it work as an #IndieWeb .

J0. I’m looking for Web 1.0 (pre-blog era) personal sites. Things like https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/ or http://cyber.dabamos.de/

I don’t care if they are updated this century.

I’d appreciate any links or leads :-)

New blog post.

「 I have to admit to toying with the idea behind the site more than with the site itself. But wasn’t it always the point? This site is trying to sell me; I don’t write articles about what would interest a headhunter. It’s place I love to tinker with. It’s fun, because computers should be fun! 」
