Jan 22, 2020, 5:42 PM -05:00 The modern manifestation of a Turing Machine is an algorithm, not a computer. The modern manifestation of a computer is a Universal Turing Machine, i.e. a Turing machine that can simulate and run any other Turing Machine. #Turing

@desmondrivet Hi Desmond, I think of the IndieWeb as being less about "knocking Facebook off its perch" and more about establishing a resistance movement. -

📸 A section of the D&R Canal State Park trail between Rocky Hill and Kington has a tunnel that runs under Route 27/Main Street on the border with Kingston and Princeton. A few years ago I walked this section of the park as part of a longer walk from Griggstown in Franklin Township. I remember that the first time I saw this tunnel it felt a bit spooky when seen from a certain angle. One cannot see into the tunnel which, due to its length appears cavernous, and which makes disconcerting noises... -

Dark clouds with wisps of sky barely visible between them, one of them making a tilted V, over a yellow orange horizon from the recent sunset behind the Pacific Ocean, waves crashing, leaving a smooth wet sandy shore with a mirror image reflection of the bright horizon, and a negative space letter T from the reflected wisps of sky surrounded by dark clouds Walk on the beach at sunset, another item crossed off a list. Cracks between dark clouds let the light in, painting single letters separat... -
Jan 12, 2020, 10:40 PM -05:00 This whole thread is awesome. I remember reading someone's fantasy Superman scene somewhere and it involving him on a mountaintop listening to the entire world in danger, in anguish over who to save first.

Take on Superman I think would work well in live-action: Explore his hyperawareness. Delve into the nerves living in a world of cardboard might give a person. Explore the feeling of being able to hear people in peril all the time and never being able to do enough. -

What's everyone using for blogging these days? I'm particularly interested in solutions beyond WP and (gasp) commenting. -
Jan 9, 2020, 6:17 PM -05:00 It's 2020 so I decided to join the 2010's and replace my desktop hard drive with an SSD. Pretty easy, mostly due to Clonezilla. It's...nice. I should probably shake things up more often.

Jan 5, 2020, 11:39 PM -05:00 Thank you! The link should work now :-)
Jan 5, 2020, 5:02 PM -05:00Thanks for the write-up on the Indieweb principles Desmond. Looking forward to the other posts in the series. I did notice that the initial link to your previous post is not working. It seems the URL is wrong. Shouldn't it be this: https://desmondrivet.com/2019/12/08/intro-to-indie-web ? -

In a previous blog post, I gave a very brief introduction to the IndieWeb, hopefully giving a sense of what it is and why it matters. In this post I'll try and zoom in a tiny bit and explain something of the mechanics of how the IndieWeb actually works and what it means to "like" a post or "share" a status update.
I'm deliberately trying to avoid too much detail in this post because, frankly, there's a lot to write, and it's easy to get lost. So I'm going to try and give a rough idea of what an IndieWeb enabled website looks like at a very high level, without going into the weeds. Further posts will go into more detail.
