This post by @Johannes_ernst sums up #selfdogfood — loving the BMW story too, we should document that on the wiki!
All I have to add is something I learnt at #indiewebcampUK this year: when people advocate a technology, don’t be afraid to ask the selfdogfooding questions
And if they answer no, don’t be afraid to call them out on it. It’s your time they’re wasting.
“…disruptive technologies don’t start out better than established technologies, as would seem intuitive, they start out worse. But for all their faults in comparison with entrenched, established competitors, there’s something radically different that opens whole new opportunities, and makes them disruptive.”
— para-meta-quoted from Not Real Programming
I’m aware the d-word is taboo, but I can’t help but think this perfectly describes #indieweb and #indieauth, as well as the reactions many people have to them.
@mapkyca nice brainstorming, loving the idea of #microformats2 key discovery for private content! (I publish a link to my PGP key on my homepage, if you want to test it out :)
Have you had a look at PuSH v0.4? It’s way simpler than old PuSH and is no longer strongly tied to RSS/ATOM content.
Note also that the “argh my little site got popular and is dying” thing can be solved even with your simpler system, by making the endpoint an external service. Woo hypermedia discovery over well-known URLs!

Tonight’s #baking: Mochi v4, this time with peanuts, cinnamon and black sesame seed paste. So far it’s Mochi 2, Barnaby 1. Hopefully this round will even things up.
@roopagulati mmmm… my favourite is rice cakes + peanut butter with dark chocolate on the top
Sheesh, it gets even better: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_can_you_get_hot_water_when_the_water_is_cold
I have discovered the question to end all questions. And, whaddaya know, someone's answered it. #bookmark
I think I just tried to make @nerdhaus quiche. Whether or not I accept that interpretation of the past as canon depends mainly on the degree of misshapenness of whatever it is coming out of the oven in a few minutes.
Sad that Horse_ is gone? Pining for some hilarious nonsense? Come spamwatching on the microformats.org wiki for a bit.
Corn starch is the paradoxical inb4/f1r5t p0st of the kitchen — it stops things from sticking by sticking to things before they have the chance to stick. #baking
@appdotnet @voidfiles #microformats2 markup on ADN post permalink pages is great but markup for reply posts could use some improvement, where is the best place to file issues/make suggestions?
@schmidt_fu there does indeed! Not sure how to fix that. Looking into it now, thanks :)
There doesn’t seem to be a decent minimal, standalone websockets server for #python, and #golang doesn’t have a simple way of accessing I2C devices. Looks like I might finally have to jump on the nodejs bandwagon for my #raspberrypi schenanigans.
catandgirl.com is one of those things I read precisely because I have no idea what it means. #creativecommons licensed too, which is cool
Databases are the wrong way round. A database should be something you do to content rather than content being something you to a database.
@benwerd my take: use rel=next/prev[ious]
(like inter-post nav) then progressively enhance, make sure you’re not making people play “catch the footer” :)
Also in #raspberrypi today: learning about I2C communications. Tips+resources:
sudo
sudo i2cdetect
before and after plugging it in and see which address changedi2cdump
, i2cset
and i2cget
, they’re super useful for poking around in I2C devicesI cobbled together a #python class for communicating with the ADXL345 by cross-referencing between the Arduino library for that chip and Adafruit’s I2C library, only to find that someone else had done so only hours earlier!
Successfully got both my RPis automatically connecting to WiFi and serving HTTP and SSH over @pagekite. If you’re having trouble setting up SSH over Pagekite, using Interactive Testing is super useful. Turns out I had typed my secret in wrong — oops!
At least I can not run them headless now and not keep lugging monitor, keyboard etc. into the kitchen (only source of WiFi strong enough for tiny antenna to pick up). Better for my own sanity as well as my housemates’.
