The key is in that word “displaying”. They’re arriving fine. My hangup is getting my CMS to deal with them meaningfully. But I am making progress.

j4y is displaying webmentions. I am so jealous; I thought I had cracked my problem, only to realise that I am still a long way from home.

Another perfect example of that old journalistic rule: if a headline ends in a question mark, the answer is “No”

Another update, another “Micropub error” from micro.blog and the latest @WithKnown.

Has that happened? I checked about 20 minutes ago and my @indiehosters was still on the previous release. Still old version at 16 May 2017 1:41 pm

Off to upgrade to the new @WithKnown release. I may be some time, although I expect not. Hoping for improved import/export to amalgamate my two sites.

@usfoodpolicy Made fresh an hour before? I don’t see why not.

I read the Trump interview in The Economist and just thought “More grist to the mill”. Others went to town on his pump priming.

I’m replying to this post for two reasons. First, the recipe does indeed sound amazing. Second, and potentially more importantly, I want to see whether Aaron Dalton is actually receiving and displaying webmentions with the Grav plugin he wrote. If he is, that will give me an incentive to continue.

“Minus lima beans” In my view, that’s a shame, but I know a lot of people disagree. Map of Dry Bean Acres in U.S. bigpictureagriculture.blogspot.it/2017/05/m…

Funnily enough, after writing that, I had a session bringing in some old posts and doing far more in a text editor rather than in the Grav front end. It proved to be a much more satisfactory an experience overall. I think if I build up a few snippets that allow me to easily produce the YAML front matter that slightly different posts require, then that will be the way to go. I still need to use the front end to check that everything is working, especially where there are images, but other than that, I think it is easier.

Glad you like the tweaks to presentation.

My big task now is to enable comments, so that I can enable webmentions. I’d like to make some progress on that before IWC Nürnberg.

How to fold and store T-shirts alone is worth the price of admission.

Leading by example just doesn’t work when the places where it matters most are completely shared. There’s no my space and your space in our kitchen, for example.

Many thanks @GrassBased. I’ll add the graph to my original post, which had it from Seth.

Hey @GrassBased checking old links, found your site either hacked or abandoned. Would love to see this graph again blog.sethroberts.net/2013/09/0…

Someone else finding wisdom in the Marie Kondo thing. I’m not the world’s tidiest person, and I am a bit of a hoarder, but I live with someone who is both less tidy and more of a hoarder than me. That frustrates me, especially over shared spaces, which almost all of them are. Chris highlighted one passage which suggests that blaming someone else for their untidiness is really about one’s own untidiness. I really don’t see, though, how to impose tidyiness on another. I can put stuff back in the “right” place over and over again, doesn’t seem to change anything.

Not exactly sure what Colin Devroe means when he says he’s “just going to publish her on my blog”. I guess that means he’s not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there’s no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don’t want to, you shouldn’t. But I hope he’ll still accept webmentions.

Marion Nestle links to Dole’s declarations as it prepares to go public. As ever, though, while the company may have to settle lawsuits and what have you, it does not contribute to the costs borne by those who succumb to food poisonning.

Pretty impressive, although why anyone would have any tabs open while they are (presumably) asleep is a mystery to me. But then, I’m an old-fashioned kind of guy.
