May 28, 2020, 9:42 PM -04:00 TIL from @englishhistpod that Wales and Welsh both come from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "foreigner", which is ironic given that the Welsh were the native Britons and the Anglo-Saxons were the invaders. Also: the wall in Cornwall and the wal in walnut mean "foreign" as well!

You don't know me, but I have that exact same vermouth and it's delicious! You made a Boulevardier, right?

Everyone's picking up quarantine hobbies. Mine is cocktails! Slowly but surely building out the bar and the repertoire. @kvlly obviously has zero complaints. -

I don't know if I'd call it my favourite, but I use @getpelican, @NetlifyCMS and @CircleCI. Mostly because I'm semi-familiar with Python and Jinja2, CircleCI was faster than TravisCI, and Netlify is just easy.

Ton made a post recently about federated bookshelves, sparked by a post from Tom. It’s an idea that Gregor has done a good bit of thinking about from an IndieWeb perspective. Book recommendations is something I’m always interested in. At base, all it needs is a feed you can follow just of what people have been reading. I’ve set up a channel in my social reader called ‘Good Reads’, and subscribed to Ton’s list of books, as the sci-fi focus looks right up my street. If anyone else has a feed of... -
May 1, 2020, 12:07 PM -04:00 Redesign in progress
I announced on twitter a couple of days ago that I went a bit rogue on my blog. I removed all the CSS after converting it from Jekyll to Eleventy and I want a brand new design for it. The trouble is I'm not a designer. It doesn't help that I have an irrational hate for white backgrounds. I was just now looking up on Pinterest for some inspiration when I realised that I wasn't looking at "blog designs". I was looking at notebooks. When I want to think about my blog, I look at everything but we... -
May 1, 2020, 6:24 AM -04:00 On Gardens and Streams
I attended my first IndieWebCamp session last week, on the subject of "gardens and streams", otherwise known as wikis and blogs. Given the current global situation, the entire thing was remote; I participated via Zoom. It was fun! I'm glad I got to meet everyone.
Wikis, and how they differ from blogs, is a topic that interests me. You may not know it, but my domain sports a wiki, powered by MoinMoin. I mostly use it to store technical notes and recipes.
I'm no historian, but it seems obvious that wikis were created mostly in order to make certain kinds of websites easier to build and maintain. In the days when "webmaster" was an actual job title and when traditional websites were maintained by an elite group of technical people, using arcane languages like HTML, wiki powered websites:
