A demonstration loaf for U day 2. Went very well with @jenniferindc lovely lunch of soup and salad. Not to mention the cultured butter.

Another pair of beauties graduate from Sourdough U

Two women hold a bread board on which are the two loaves they just pulled out of the oven.

Great work from the latest graduates of Sourdough U.

Two women gesture proudly at the loaves of bread they have just baked.

All quiet on the front.

Out exploring with @barksdalep1 and Enzo the Wonderdog.

Haven’t made this much in a while but all all prepped for Sourdough U tomorrow @jenniferindc

Patreon is stepping back, and that’s great. But there announcement prompted me to do something about supporting the podcast, and I’m not going to change that.

I’m late getting to this, but I would say it depends partly on which CMS you’re talking about. I almost always compose directly in Known, and almost never compose directly in either WP or my main site, which runs on Grav. For WP sites, I usually use MarsEdit, which has just shipped version 4 and which is really good and Mac only. For Grav, I tend to compose in Byword and proofread in Marked2.

My best 50% wholemeal Recipe link in bio. And while you’re there, check out the course in DC next weekend.

There’s a lot that’s quite dodgy about the Guardian’s farmer suicides article. See link at www.eatthispodcast.com/those-far…

Had to abandon the latest Gravy podcast because the levels were so all over the place. Pity; it seemed pretty interesting.

If only these self-same people were aware of the power of feeds. I get a pure timeline of Instagram photos from the people I follow in my feed reader and it has made me like it all over again.

@DropboxSupport I’ve fixed permissions and checked for symlinks; thanks. The only app accessing often is nvALT. So, we’ll see if things improve. I hope so.

What is @dropbox actually doing when it is “indexing,” why does it need to do it so often, and why does it hog my computer while it does it?

Fascinating conversation with Jess Phillips on @tppolitics_ especially the bit at about 29:15 when she said: “We are basically retweeting away our liberty.”

And yes, I am aware of the irony. Which is why I posted this on my own site first


Horses for courses

During the virtual IWC tonight, we were discussing third-party clients for publishing to websites, essentially Micropub clients and MarsEdit. And it occurred to us more or less simultaneously, that I do not use Micropub for the site that supports it out of the box, whereas I do use a client for the site that does not support Micropub out of the box. And that is because the post-creation UI is nice and simple for Known, and a right mess for WordPress. So, just to be difficult, I’m using Quill for the first time in a long while to create a Post in Known.
