A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
To my knowledge this is the first time I've been mentioned over at Mastodon, so it seems only right and proper to see whether the wonders of IndieWeb allow me to reply there. Good to see old online friends but not sure I can handle another channel.

@cn That one looks like I need to have a Mastodon account, I canāt just send a reply from my site and have it show up there. Seems like too much faff for now.

@jeremycherfas such capability isnāt there yet; werd.io/2021/buil... Issue

@cn Yeah, I read the whole issue at GitHub including the proposals, and it seems becalmed. Benās recent post gave me renewed hope, but that is fading too.

My word was a real word, but it wasn't THE real word. Which is ... frustrating.

Huh? app.net is now a sign-in for Mastodon. Not going to happen, for me at least.

Today's IndieWebRing excursion took me to https://jamesvandyne.com/ and prompts the question, what really attracts people make of Disneyland? Maybe I'm too old, but even in my thirties, when I visited Florida's for work, I was underwhelmed by it all, especially EPCOT. It just seems so ersatz.

I donāt get it. I was about to insert my guess, which involved a different letter in first position, but the field was already filled with a wrong answer.
Is it limited to three guesses? And why was the field filled in?
As I continue reading and sometimes re-posting things written on this day, I've decided to do one more thing at the end of a session: go to a random site in the IndieWeb WebRing. Today, I found something that resonates down the years: how to organise the content of a weblog.

@jeremycherfas itās an interesting post, but I canāt see anything other than strict chronological order making sense.

@billbennettnz For me, it feeds into the Gardens and Streams discussion, and my take on that is that my garden is private, but occasionally I float a well-grown plant down the stream.

Having moved my Dropbox folder to an external disk in an effort to reclaim space internally, I then discovered the value of an actual symlink, which means I don't have to rewrite anything. This is a good thing.
The fight for āpostā rather than āblogā is lost in many quarters, but the fight for āblogā itself is lost when none other than John Naughton can calmly point to a Substack newsletter with āHeather Cox Richardson had a memorable post on her blog:"
