Blown away by the quality, diversity, utility and focus of the #selfdogfood demos at #indiewebcamp UK this morning
Blown away by the quality, diversity, utility and focus of the #selfdogfood demos at #indiewebcamp UK this morning
.@kevinmarks small correction: I post photos+videos from iPad via email, most notes (like this reply) from my web interface :)
If you want to more calmly follow #indiewebcamp UK (i.e. not wiki, IRC or hangout) @kevinmarks is doing his usual amazing job of live-tweeting everything
Want to see IWCUK but can’t come? There’s a hangout: plus.google.com/hangouts/_/f78618cbdafa66c60c8c37de7a89fbef6f364d93
We’ll also be extensively etherpad-, IRC- and wiki-ing everything throughout the day.
Jovian Salak you lucky guy — Brighton failed utterly to sell me crêpes :( On the plus side, I had toast with some cool people in a café which was playing folk music.
Checked into Lighthouse for #indiewebcamp UK
Time for Barnaby vs. Brighton: Crêpe Quest, round two. Round one ended badly and will probably be the subject of some dreadful comedy sketch in the future. This time: more data points, more leads to follow up.
Brighton: IT’S ON.
@benwerd will you be on IRC/hangout/etherpad or whatever?
Jovian Salak good god that is hideous. Why do people think this kind of censorship is effective, acceptable or in any way rational? That head appears to be abusing his power and certainly deserves the scrutiny his students put him under.
On which note, looking forward to meeting all the people signed up for #indiewebcamp UK tomorrow! I’m the long haired beardy kid handing out badges.
Stoked to have finally met Aaron Parecki Amber Case @hadleybeeman @julien51 @xtof_fr in the flesh, wonderful to meet @k3r3n3 for the first time and Tantek Çelik for the second. It’s a pleasure to know and be able to spend time with such smart, kind and generally awesome people.
dConstruct was rather an emotional rollercoaster this year. Outstanding talks by all the speakers.
I used to believe that conferences weren’t really about the speakers, but more the networking. That changed today, and with this knowledge I plan to change how I consume future dConstructs and other conferences of a similar ilk (are there any?).
I need to spend the breaks between talks reflecting on the subject matter instead of randomly mingling with people. Whether it’d be more effective to do so alone or with others who wish to take a similar approach (anyone?) is down to experimentation.
Early morning! Where do you Brightonians go for breakfast? #dconstruct #travel
Checked into Hostel By The Sea, Brighton. Mmmm cottage pie. #travel
Checked in (literally for once) @ Keflavik Airport for KEF -> LGW flight
Frantically downloading Brighton map tiles @ BSI Reykjavik #travel
myOpenID.com is dead. OpenID is dead. Long live Web Sign-In. #indieweb #indieauth
I got an email saying the service will end on 2014-02-01, but the site appears to be down already. janrain.com, the company who apparently ran myOpenID, is also down, so I can’t find a “goodbye” post. Here’s the notification email:
I wanted to reach out personally to let you know that we have made the decision to end of life the myOpenID service. myOpenID will be turned off on February 1, 2014.
In 2006 Janrain created myOpenID to fulfill our vision to make registration and login easier on the web for people. Since that time, social networks and email providers such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Yahoo! have embraced open identity standards. And now, billions of people who have created accounts with these services can use their identities to easily register and login to sites across the web in the way myOpenID was intended.
By 2009 it had become obvious that the vast majority of consumers would prefer to utilize an existing identity from a recognized provider rather than create their own myOpenID account. As a result, our business focus changed to address this desire, and we introduced social login technology. While the technology is slightly different from where we were in 2006, I’m confident that we are still delivering on our initial promise – that people should take control of their online identity and are empowered to carry those identities with them as they navigate the web.
For those of you who still actively use myOpenID, I can understand your disappointment to hear this news and apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. To reduce this inconvenience, we are delaying the end of life of the service until February 1, 2014 to give you time to begin using other identities on those sites where you use myOpenID today.
Speaking on behalf of Janrain, I truly appreciate your past support of myOpenID.
#indiewebcampuk people: up for having an informal dinner meetup Friday (6th) evening around 19:30? Location unspecified as yet.
