Notes

Watching Private Life of Plants, from the year I was born. It has aged well, and remains my favourite Attenborough series.

The value of #geo machine #tags and rev. geo coding: even though I don't yet have a fancy distance-queryable database, my notes can be queried by location. For example, notes I have posted in Devon.

Watching “Free, open, secure Communications” live stream at #fosdem #indieweb #fsw

Laurent Eschenauer have fun! Is anyone doing an etherpad/recording? #indieweb #fsw

Rolled out usage of the menu element on #taproot. I’m looking forward to more browser support for HTML context menus, that will really open up the possibilities for cross-browser extensions

Pushed some styling improvements to individual note pages as a result of some brainstorming earlier today. Splitting the content into Primary, Contextual, Metadata and Network will give me a solid foundation on which to add more information (e.g. mentions).

One thing I haven’t added is an “actions” section, mainly because of double-click-to-edit. That only applies to the main content, though, and I have some other actions like syndicate to facebook, so I should make a section for those.

I propose this law of system personality:

Put a system in a box and it becomes a thing. Give a thing a name and it becomes a product. Give a product a brand/atmosphere and it gains a personality.

Abandoning my attempt to get even one #gurdy finished for Halsway Gurdy weekend as it is causing me too much #stress and would only result in a badly made instrument.

@briansuda @adactio turns out cgcardona already had the musical font idea, and started implementing it! https://audiofile.cc/#about

Pushed lots of note UI updates to #taproot today, including porting almost all the #js to Backbone. Still #todo:

• Improving location UI: improve cancelled state text, fix located state
• Make a view for note lists, inc. event handling like add new note to the list when it’s posted from the dialog. This will also minimise the number of requests.
• Make the backend auto-add hashtags to the note tags property. It should have been this way all along.

@ThatEmil literal #tintin! Great idea :)

I spent most of this afternoon learning all the different ways in which bits of ebony can break. Thankfully, the great people at the Totnes school of Guitarmaking had enough maple strips in stock for me to use those.

Checked into the Steam Packet Inn for the session/#buzz rehearsal

The second #gurdy back is on after rather a stressful gluing session inside a small, dark shed with candles for light. Now I know a little more about what it must have been like to be a luthier in the Middle Ages.

sweden I am making two more at the moment, so I need to come up with three names!
