I didn’t understand all of this, but I can celebrate the conclusion.

People sometimes ask me what the best method of preserving their pictures is, and my somewhat flip but I believe trenchant answer is, “be famous.”

The idea that things are worthless or, worse, actually cost money to hang onto, means things that might be of value some day get discarded. Mike says craftsmanship will also help preserve things, including photographs, but the other thing you need is space, and preferably a permanent home.

@AgroBioDiverse I can find you recipe plans. Basically, brown rice and some fruit and veg, with bits and bobs of other stuff.

@ThatAliceCooks A word to the wise; don’t pour all into the pan at once! As I know YOU know. But you never know who doesn’t know.

@_dgoldsmith Thanks Daniel. I will write up a more detailed account, and try to remember to link to it from here.

Squeaked in under the wire with a submission to @hearsayfestival Here’s hoping.

@Dr_RJByrne I’m sure it isn’t easy, but it could be done.

@Dr_RJByrne There’s a global shortage of opiates; why not give the farmers a real chance at higher incomes?

Took a long while, working out how best to format and then doing it by hand, but I am now reasonably happy with the look of the noters and highlights brought home from Kindle. As a matter of styling, perhaps the Kindle location of the text could be less prominent, but that’s probably gilding the lily.

What I’ve learned is that it probably pays to take more time when actually highlighting the text and writing the notes. But the clunky Kindle keyboard does one no favours. #indieweb

Done. The cost of eating a nutritious diet. Patreons can enjoy it now. Everyone else will have to wait patreon.com/etp

Well, it has been a long couple of days, but I have created pages to bring my reviews out of Goodreads and my highlights and notes out of Kindle. Still need to do a bit of styling; where there is a note attached to a highlight, it would be good to be able to have them side by side, as it were. Trouble is, the styling that Kindle delivers out of the box does not make that easy. #indieweb

I wasn’t aware of the Limited Offensive Unit before, but I’m glad I am now. Very apt.

Spent a little while looking into embeds, as recommended, and it seems like it could be worthwhile. I tested the native embed, as it were, by tacking /embed onto a URL, and it is not very attractive. But customising the embed by using the other image and the audio will take a bit of work. I have found some useful resources for that, notably www.sitepoint.com/customizi… for the code needed.

Might also be worth implementing a different audio player on the site – using this plugin wordpress.org/plugins/p… – but still feeding it the blueberry version of the audio URL to maintain continuity of stats.

Quick question for Chris Aldrich, which I may be able to answer myself by judicious experimentation: how do you reply to two URLs at once?

Later: well, it isn’t by including two URLs in the reply to a site field!

My apologies, Chris. I’m not familiar with the media player you are using on WordPress and so I did not realise that it was an embed rather than a download. That makes everything I said wrong, and everything you said right.

I’ll look into oEmbeds, although I’m currently not sure exactly how I would make use of them.

Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.
