Notes

Tom Morris oh no! Might have to do a Thunderbirds/Stingray-athon tonight to celebrate his work.

rektide agreed! We (#indiewebcamp) are building that return. Care to join in? http://indiewebcamp.com but most activity is on IRC

benward heh, or not :/ Hopefully this time though. If not I won’t bother you with any more of these tweets :)

@BenWard fixed, thanks! I blame twitter for using /status/ and /statuses/ interchangeably in tweet URLs and confusing me :) This tweet should have in_reply_to set correctly.

drewm nice! I was actually talking about rsyncing between MBP, HD and school computers if they’re Macs — saved me a whole lotta time

drewm if my recent experience with GCSE photography is anything to go by, an external HD and a knowledge of rsync will be v. useful too :)

Just found Tantek Çelik’s follow up to the long discussion too: http://tantek.com/2011/010/b1/owning-your-data — good read on the origins of POSSE and why tweets are worth storing #indieweb

Also RE twitter syndication UX: with self hosted notes we have the chance to make a really robust threaded/branched conversation model via rel values, something @twitter lacks /cc Tom Morris #indieweb

Here is the wrap-up of @t and @zeldman and others discussing self hosting and links: http://notes.tomhenrich.com/2011/01/own-your-data/ /cc @tommorris #indieweb/

Note that myself and Aaron Parecki are overcoming some of these UX issues with things like Indieweb Reply, syndicated conversations and smart truncenation algorithms.

Tom Morris no-one's complained about it, but I have very few followers :) I know @zeldman complained at Tantek Çelik before, I’ll try to find his article about it

joviansalak beautiful piece of kit! Have I seen that one before?

tommorris yay! I feel honoured you've taken the time to install it on Christmas Day :) So does ferocity send/receive pingbacks? Next step is to stop relying on twitter for reply/notification infrastructure.

Just watched The Hunger Games for the first time. Initial impressions are that my imagined versions of Haymitch and Snow are way better than the actors. Their Snow is far too old and beardy. Other than that it’s not too bad at all. Looking forward to the next ones.

Aaron Parecki I wish they would show you which email/number they're calling if you hav multiple. Gives it some context.

So, the #merlin ending wasn’t happy, but it was rubbish. Why was merlin some twitcher at the end?

Amazed at #HTML+, which had scribble and audio form input elements! http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_41.html

I absolutely love Averia, and use it all over my personal website. I think it is a wonderful idea, brilliantly executed. The result is surprisingly readable, and the slight “erosion” effect reminds me a lot of very early type. Many thanks for making these fonts and licensing them so freely :)

Anna Debenham perhaps that will help shut some of the “same old faces” complainers up
