Am I the only one bothered by the term "black IPA"? Like, y'all know what the "P" stands for, right?

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!

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.
(Edited 2024/12/25: I no longer use MoinMoin, opting instead for an org-roam based digital garden, but the concepts are the same)
