Optimism

I think of myself of as an optimist. It makes me insufferable sometimes. When someone is having a moan about something in the news and they say something like “people are terrible”, I can’t resist weighing in with a “well, actually…” Then I’ll start channeling Rutger Bregman, Rebecca Solnit, and Hans Rosling, pointing to all the evidence that people are, by and large, decent. I should really just read the room and shut up. I opened my talk Of Time And The Web with a whole spiel about how we...

Victor Hugo is most famous for writing beloved novels like Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. But he was also one of the greatest painters of the 19th century. And Hugo's art, kept secret until after his death, is unlike anything you've seen before...

Corn Meal Porridge

When I was a young lad, I spent a lot of time on Bequia with my grandmother, my grand-maman or just "Mama". I loved her food, and her breakfast was my favourite meal. Breakfast in Bequia was much different than breakfast in New Jersey. I don't remember eating oatmeal or pancakes. It was customary to have fish for breakfast, a sprat fried whole and served with fried cou-cou, fish broth, or salted cod with bakes or fried breadfruit. But one of my favourite things grand-maman made for breakfast ...

Two things are true: Republicans are absolutely massive hypocrites on the "leave kids of politicians alone" thing, and also, we should leave the kids of politicians alone. (Assuming, of course, that those kids aren't also adults working in politics).

One of the funny things about Mastodon being “too hard” is that it reminds me that all of the internet used to be hard

Happy 10th Birthday, Bridgy!

https://snarfed.org/10th_birthday_cake.jpg Today marks 10 years to the day since I first launched Bridgy, my little IndieWeb side project to connect social networks and personal websites. Happy Birthday, Bridgy! I’ve always loved the internet, but I’m not a Very Online person, exactly. I don’t really hang out there. I didn’t fall in love with the people, or the community; I fell in love with the network. The physical reality of packed switched routing, the awkward unlikely miracle of a bunch...

the other day a very nice lady came in with her grandson because she was taking him on a 'smell tour of London' and she wanted a book for them to smell, so I fetched them a book, they smelled it, and I've been having an existential crisis about where my life is at ever since

On the IndieWeb front there are some interesting evolving examples and state of the art documented at: https://indieweb.org/personal_library https://indieweb.org/read In particular, I quite enjoy the micropub client IndieBookClub for posting reading updates to my WordPress site (it supports other platforms with Micropub support too.) More details: https://indieweb.org/indiebookclub. Here’s an example of how I’m tracking what I read on my own site: https://boffosocko.com/kind/read/ or if you...

Personal Archiving and the IndieWeb

The indieweb is about controlling your identity. But it’s also be a great way to claw back all that content I’ve been scattering across the web so I can get better at archiving! #indieweb #personalarchiving #ownyourdata

When did you join the IndieWeb?

(Hopefully this appears at https://www.indieforums.net) I think I first heard of the IndieWeb movement in 2016 sometime. It’s a bit hazy now, but I’ve a memory that I stumbled on it through a trail of links starting on Wikity. I’ve tinkered with web sites in some form or another for a long time, and I have happy memories of various weird Geocities experiments, sadly lost to the sands of time it seems. As far as independently hosting goes, I appear to have had a self-hosted blog since 2006 at ...
