Black sesame seed ice cream went down well at the office, has replaced chocolate as my favourite ice cream flavour (those of you have eaten ice cream with me will get how big a deal that is)

Making ice cream for the first time, dim sum dumplings for the second time and fried milk for the third time this evening
@aral weird — isn’t that basically CC-BY-NC-as-a-service?
@karltryggvason a few thousand maybe? I’m not much good at judging crowd size.

Taken from the @piratepartyIS offices — thanks, you guys are the best!
Posting this note from barnabywalters.bit — been experimenting with namecoin, got .bit domains resolving on my machine by following instructions namecoin.bitcoin-contact.org, installed namecoin wallet on my VPS and registered a name, pointed it at my web server.
Surprisingly it was a fairly straightforward process. The most difficult part was getting hold of some namecoin to register names with — I ended up trading some of my DOGE for NMC on vircurex.com.
I am inordinately proud of this tiny #namecoin progress bash snippet:
watch 'echo "$(namecoind getblockcount) / $(curl -s http://explorer.dot-bit.org/stats/block_count.txt) * 100" | bc -l'
Now comfortable with Pizza, Dim Sum is my next food project. #tabdump:
For those seeking perspective and groundedness, might I recommend xkcd.com/980/huge #whatsapp #insanity
Or, heck, a good book, or going outside, or cooking some food, or playing some music.
Too windy to go to board game night, off to Grótta to enjoy the wind to the full!
Reykjavík successfully held it’s third cryptoparty last night, as part of the Tor developer conference happening here all week. Tor developers joined people from the local pirate party, universities and hackerspace to discuss and teach crypto technologies with anyone interested.
postcardsocial.com by @kylnew is very much inline with #indieweb #ownyourdata #selfdogfooding attitudes, looks like a great project! Salivting over potential integration with indiewebcamp.com/micropub and indieauth.com…
Celebrating Skólapúlsinn’s 4th birthday @ Vísar HQ
Prepping an old machine for demoing crypto tech at the cryptoparty tonight, windows being a complete pain. I have a feeling I’m going to be spending most of the evening apologising for other people’s bad UI decisions.
If you’ve never done any microcontroller programming, start with an arduino.cc. It’s the best way of getting started with embedded hardware programming.
If for whatever reason you’re determined to use PICs (cost, availability of free samples, you already had a bunch of them, etc.), you should get a pickit3 and use the netbeans-derived MPLAB X to develop, program and debug your devices.
But if like me you’re in the weird position of having a bunch of PICs, a Chinese knockoff pickit2 and a strong dislike of Java, here’s how to set up a *minimal* C development environment on a Mac.
#TIL about Unifont http://czyborra.com/unifont/
@snarfed ah, I tend to scrape twitter.com using github.com/indieweb/php-mf2-shim as it’s forced to return results which are useful to humans :)
@bromann all the interesting work being done in the indiewebcamp.com community (e.g. cross-site comments are being done with mf2, and they’re easier to author+more clearly documented than classic mf, so makes a lot of sense to start using now!
Looks like twitter no longer demands that replies start with the @-name of the person they’re directed to, e.g. https://twitter.com/BarnabyWalters/status/435030572860465152
This makes @t-style reply-to-self as continuations of notes even more feasible as a practise.
@bromann even better (and easier!), add microformats2 h-card microformats.org/wiki/h-card, validate with indiewebify.me/validate-h-card
