Pimping out my daughter's new MBP with 16GB RAM. That should make her GCSE Photography project work a bit less tiresome.
drewm if my recent experience with GCSE photography is anything to go by, an external HD and a knowledge of rsync will be v. useful too :)
“I'd rather host my data and live with such awkwardness in the open than be a sharecropper on so many beautiful social content farms.” Tantek Çelik
Just found Tantek Çelik’s follow up to the long discussion too: http://tantek.com/2011/010/b1/owning-your-data — good read on the origins of POSSE and why tweets are worth storing #indieweb
Also RE twitter syndication UX: with self hosted notes we have the chance to make a really robust threaded/branched conversation model via rel values, something @twitter lacks /cc Tom Morris #indieweb
Here is the wrap-up of @t and @zeldman and others discussing self hosting and links: http://notes.tomhenrich.com/2011/01/own-your-data/ /cc @tommorris #indieweb/
Note that myself and Aaron Parecki are overcoming some of these UX issues with things like Indieweb Reply, syndicated conversations and smart truncenation algorithms.
Tom Morris:
I wonder if @BarnabyWalters has had any followers on Twitter find the whole “replying on another site” thing weird... http://t.co/ACLdRuMf
Tom Morris no-one's complained about it, but I have very few followers :) I know @zeldman complained at Tantek Çelik before, I’ll try to find his article about it
Jovian Salak:
The tool for my latest project - 1978 'Kiev A' - made in the USSR! Really complicated to use! But that's part of it... http://t.co/csHDG9UD
joviansalak beautiful piece of kit! Have I seen that one before?
tommorris yay! I feel honoured you've taken the time to install it on Christmas Day :) So does ferocity send/receive pingbacks? Next step is to stop relying on twitter for reply/notification infrastructure.
Aaron Parecki:
Just got my first Facetime call from a number I don't recognize. Realized I'm even more hesitant to answer an... http://t.co/m7QTwC4d
Aaron Parecki I wish they would show you which email/number they're calling if you hav multiple. Gives it some context.
Anna Debenham:
Another @24ways wrapped up for the year *sniff*. Enjoyed reading some fantastic articles. Lots of new contributors too which is lovely.
Anna Debenham perhaps that will help shut some of the “same old faces” complainers up
lkdto that would be great! It helps awesome things like the indentengine.com API exist

Tom Morris:
Come on, guys, let's all move from (x: Silo) to (y: Silo). Nothing could possibly go wrong. There is no alternative.
tommorris agreed. I am amazed that there is such a consumer culture in such a creative, technically-able community
Aral Balkan:
I just love rail travel in the UK. You meet the most interesting people. Today I met drunk guy drinking beer and coughing on me.
aral my fondest memory of rail travel is when I got stuck in a train toilet and the nice men with crowbars had to rip it off to get me out. Some nice royal marines offered me beer (I was 13)
lkdto how about rel=me on all your links?
GREAT to hear @malarkey and Anna Debenham are doing a web business podcast next year! http://24ways.org/2012/monkey-business/
davewiner I disagree that browser makers should “make sure they don’t break bootstrap apps”. They should concentrate on following specs, and markup authors should do the same.
Jeremy Keith did you see the extension I’ve been working on to empower users to republish content on their own sites? https://github.com/barnabywalters/IndieWeb-Reply-Browser-Extension
seb_ly it is! Wow, I didn’t think I would have an effect. Sorry I spoiled your art, I love your work :)
Trying to create a splodge on seb_ly’s moonlander art! http://moonlander.seb.ly/
