Notes

Aral Balkan nice positive reply tweet: thank you for making me aware of the male gaze. Not something I’ve though about before but now I see it everywhere and it makes me angry #sexism

10608 #steps today (that’s more like it!)

I’m trying to grow up but it’s hard past a certain age

Ha, love it Aral Balkan :)

Checked in to the Steam Packet Inn, Totnes for the #buzz session with Robin Andrews

Current Walters #family discussion: what is more useful when job seeking, GCSEs or cake-making ability (demonstrated through providing the potential employer with a cake to try)

Just almost typed “all the bear” instead of “all the best” in an #email. Actually, I prefer the first one.

@fraying I'd be fascinated to know if you have any process for handling fighter deaths at cutefight? A morbid interest sure, but it’s going to happen and was wondering if you had some special way to handle it? Virtual funeral/gravestone where former competitors can pay their respects, for example?

Who would win in a fight between twitter.com and app.net? There’s only one authoritative way to determine such a thing: a ye olde sea battle! #silofight

fraying I don't have a pet currently but I love what you're doing with cute fight — the logos in particular are perfect

7000 #steps today

I have to say that whilst #diaspora’s data export functionality is rubbish, their URLs and use of conneg made it really easy to roll my own. A little hacking with the web inspector (tracking XHR, looking up headers and content) was all that was required — and now it’s documented, so no-one else will have to spend time doing so.

sophiedennis Laura Kalbag that’d be brilliant! We really need more designers/UX people helping out. Perhaps discuss it further at #digpen?

sophiedennis one of the interesting things about #indiewebcamp is that there’s almost no discussion about privacy or security. It’s completely focused on sharing, content ownership and lowering the barrier to entry.

Laura Kalbag also, things like Aral Balkan’s great wordpress export tools make it especially easy to migrate to self-hosted indieweb — hosted w/ own domain name redirect is the achievable first step.

.Laura Kalbag “on your own space” is important but not a prerequisite of #indieweb (IMO at least). The domain name is the most important thing, so starting with hosted wordpress.com or tumblr or even just redirecting to it is valid and an easy first step.

I’d encourage you to check out the Getting Started Guide — feedback/edits gratefully accepted, it’s important to me that the guide is as helpful and clear as it can be.

Laura Kalbag would you agree that wordpress.com (and to a lesser extent, other wordpress services) is non-techie-friendly? It supports most of the infrastructure we’re using on our #indieweb sites (e.g. pubsubhubbub, pingback, microformats) and provided you hook up your own domain name is an equally valid way of owning your content/identity online as rolling your own.

Laura Kalbag no, no, no, the #indieweb web is the future :) Not any one silo.

Nick Charlton woah. that is insane.

.Nick Charlton have you seen this video of quadcopters doing scarily impressive learning? Think I mentioned it to you but couldn’t find the link #robotics #bookmark #tech
