@benwerd it’s a restaurant in the middle of town — no idea what the name actually means, I’ll ask an Icelander http://www.idno.is/english.html
The D isn’t actually a D, nor is it pronounced like one. It’s an Eth.
Uh-oh, markdoesntunderstandanimals.com has gone offline. Time to crank up wget, pointed at markdua.tumblr.com #sitedeath
If you want to maintain a personal copy too, here’s the command:
wget -r http://markdua.tumblr.com -D 25.media.tumblr.com,markdua.tumblr.com -H -w 1
Feeding the geese @ Reykjavik, Iceland with the #family
Checked into Gullfoss, Iceland.
#todo: photos + location in the same note. Currently photos are email upload only. Other possibillity is to derive location data from EXIF metadata
Spotted the Game of Spiky Chairs filming crew @ Þingvellir /cc Brennan Novak
Which begs the question: is this bus a venue? A moving venue? #geo
Checked into a Grayline bus for the late evening golden circle tour — doing the touristy thing for once with the #family
I have this bad musical habit of always hearing music in my head as sung vocal notes (dum de daa, etc.). New project is to train myself to constantly experiment with reorchestrating it in as many different forms as I can.
Instagram’s NINE seconds-of-white-screen-before-anything-happens is not exactly a pleasant experience #webdotjs
So I got in-stream reply contexts showing — perhaps summaries of #indieweb comments next? I like Facebook’s approach of showing the last 4, a total count and a “show me more” button, which could be implemented simply as a link to the note page initially.
Reply context stream example: http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes?tagged=reply
Still TODO: make the ↪ a link to the in-replied-to page, add the datetime to the title for that link, remove the in-reply-to info from the bottom of in-stream notes as it’s noise now
Went whale watching, saw several dolphins, two minke whales, a load of puffins and several thousand unexpected jellyfish.
Comic highlight when the announcer tried to give us a sense of just how big blue whales can be…
“Imagine a basketball court, with a blue whale in. That basketball game… would be over”
I’m loving the feedback loop of using the things I build.
Wasn’t blogging much → improved typography, design → want to write more and better.
Started using my tune stream → discovered a bunch of problems → fixed them, now I can practise more effectively.
Lessons?
@benwerd mainly chickens
Glenn Jones yay! Looking forward to exchanging mentions :) #indieweb
Does @mozilla webapp installation actually work? In FF Nightly I see the install, confirmation check, confirmation notification and “launch” button on-page, but then I can’t actually launch anything. It’s also stated that I can launch the application from my Applications folder — but it’s not there.
