Apparently FB learned nothing from the classic “I bought a toilet seat on amazon and now amazon’s trying as hard as it can to fuel the toilet-seat-collecting hobby I’m apparently hooked on” problem

whoooooooooooop!

They’re pretty awesome, right!

Ha ha, thanks :) The latest versions of Hugin actually make things really easy — I used to be a purist and set all the control points manually, but that automatic cpfind function now works pretty well. Modern phones with panorama features take some of the novelty out of manual stitching, but you can still get much better results this way!

@adactio that’s not a “stupid, stupid” part of your brain at all. It’s the loving, caring part which misses her and wishes she was still around to share the fun you’re having.

Webmention spam has already started to become a problem, especially thanks to Brid.gy’s backfeeding of twitter comments. For most of us it hasn’t yet been a big problem, but it inevitably will be in the future. There’s some ideas about potential spam prevention tools on the wiki: indiewebcamp.com/spam

Oops, sorry for not replying — I didn’t see your mention for some reason! Yep, KSP is an amazing game. You do indeed have to hit escape velocity, from a planet 1/10th the size of earth but with equivalent acceleration due to gravity, and yes you have to learn orbital mechanics to rendezvous, or get to other planets. Highly recommended, but watch out — there’s a steep learning curve but once you get it it sucks you in :)

Oh, and the fan community is amazing. So many tutorials, fan videos and mods. Example:

@mapkyca using signed URLs is an intriguing idea, I like it! btw, indieauth doesn’t require a centralised authority — see indiewebcamp.com/distributed-indieauth

@robinmujician Interesting — I’ve always considered a meme to be an idea transmitted between people, and memetics the study of how ideas travel between people. The argument being that uncommunicated thoughts aren’t very meaningful to anyone except the thinker, and the physical expressions of memes are creative works in their own right rather than memes — the meme being the idea that the creative work transmits.

Never really considered it as applying to behaviours but it makes a lot of sense, and is in the official definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme

Great work getting webmentions working Ben, and nice cover photo! Where was it taken?

@kevinmarks awesome demos as always! Thanks for live posting! #indiewebcampsf
