Implementing pingback alone has already caused me more headaches than any other aspect of #taproot. WHY XMLRPC, HIXIE?

Finished reading Steve Jobs, The man who thought different by Karen Blumenthal.
A nice summary of Steve’s life, with some interesting details I’d not come across before. The technical mistakes were a let–down, and the language was patronising at times (e.g. explaining what “profit” meant).

From Steve Jobs, The man who thought different:
The result, the World Wide Web, what we know today as the Internet

Checked into the Steam Packet Inn, Totnes for the neo folk session

aral I find I go in similar “abstraction loops” for many things. Start off basic → try out an abstraction → try out a higher abstraction → and another → get tired of abstractions, return to the original/something similar. The process always informs me in useful ways, however horrible the intermediate results are ;)

After seeing the term “opaque” used frequently but no canonical definition provided, I asked the #indieweb IRC channel and came up with this: http://indiewebcamp.com/opaque
