All you people saying morris dancing are wrong. That’s a nobel English tradition. That’s our heritage. Our GLORIOUS HERITAGE.

Drew McLellan well maybe that’s going a bit far, but morrisoffspring are a bit awesome #folk
That excellent post of Tantek Çelik’s, like all well–hyperlinked documents, lead me to a whole raft of great #indieweb resources I hadn’t come across before:
- @brianoberkirch, his post on portable social building blocks and his other PSN posts, all of which make good reading
- The @microformats wiki page on portable social networks
- Tantek Çelik’s Creating Building Block for Independents presentation, and the associated wiki
(In other news: I need to make a “dump tabs into new note dialog” browser #extension)

Christ, I said "movie" instead of "film". Next: "color" instead of "colour" and "yee-har, cotton-pickin' socialism" instead of "decency"

Microphone's arrived. Now all set for #Nepal. Just need to encourage some creative juices in advance. Not sure how this is done though...

Jovian Salak alternate solution: we throw a DIY pizza party with recitals of Half Caste, as a joint leaving party

Jovian Salak I know the solution: a farm nearby is selling a small hay bale (£3.50). Let’s buy it and roll it to the #mound.
Jovian Salak oh crap I was way off — I thought it was in May?!
Cleaning the Room by ftrain is one of the most visceral things I have ever read #bookmark
“I am not a number, I am my domain name”

Really loving bastianallgeier’s thoughts on PHP as a templating language — very very similar to my own approach #php #dev #bookmark

If you were thinking about Kickstarting an Open Source RSS reader, well, today's the day.

evanp funny, I’ve been thinking of doing that for a while. Not sure I’ve got what it takes though, and I’m booked up for the next 4 months :/

Yippee a new #pope. Why is everyone so excited? The new pope will still have to defend the *integrity* of a ridiculous religious corporation

@BarnabyWalters One-day-olderness day surely. It’s not like you become a year older in a day.

Josh Emerson well that’s the point — the way we calculate age is so arbitrary I thought I'd poke fun at it. “One day olderness day” is even better, but not so feasible for putting on cards :)

New fun game. Watch youtube videos in Japanese with automatic translation on. Goggle at the nonsense spewed forth by translate.

rellyab to be fair, last time I checked it produced nonsense even when not translating!
Oscar is watching Icelandic extreme fishing. Mum challenges John Walters not to start talking about buried shark every time someone mentions #iceland. Ha, fat chance of that. It was even on my birthday card #family
Finally decided that symfony Security component is way too complicated for my little #taproot, so ditching it — but I’ve learnt a lot from digging through it and my further efforts will try to provide some of the amazing flexibility it gives whilst being more performant and easier to understand #php #dev #meta
I really can't stress just how brilliant the identengine.com API is. Solves so many problems, implements so many standards, but more importantly: it is truly, truly webby. Forming a graph of a persons profiles by following rel links, then accumulating all that info is a vital building block. Great work Glenn Jones! #indieweb #web
