Thanks to Adactio for the link.

I managed to fix a long-standing niggle with my #indieweb practice this afternoon, thanks to some great help from cweiske and others. For the longest time Quill, a micropub client that I can use to publish here, wasn’t showing me an option to syndicate directly to Twitter. That meant that I tended reply to tweets and stuff right there in the silo and not bring them back here. Fair enough, especially when a reply without context is like an egg without salt. But we figured it out, in part by that old standby of “switch it off and then switch it back on again”. That got things working, and was enough of an impetus to upgrade WithKnown to the latest build. And so far, everything looks good.

This is another test

This is a test.

Upgraded Known to latest build; everything seems to be OK but if you spot anything odd, please let me know.

It is slightly odd to see the mad rush away from Facebook. Everything old is new again.

@SmallholderIRL Very honoured to be mentioned in such company. Thank you.

@wordsby_bob Sounds interesting; where was the talk and will it be shared?

I’d say that was progress, yes. Of course, for all I know you might have written that by hand in WordPress, rather than via, say, micro.blog app. Either way, it is progress. And now, enjoy your Mac.

With a whole two days still to run on the trial, I plunked down good money for Tyme-app. It is just so much better than one I was using before. Night and day.

Blimey! I just started another Coursera offering this morning, and this evening I get an email imploring me to look at another 24 courses. Who do they think I am?

I haven’t done the Micro Monday thing before now; Mondays are often a bit busy. But today, I’m going to suggest @modernlittleme for a different perspective on life.

I wanted to use a new highlight in Instapaper to trigger an action, and while last week the email action didn’t work, this week it is the file action that fails. Sure it is free, but this isn’t going to entice me to fork over money for a paid service.

I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that IFTTT simply isn’t reliable enough to, er, rely on.

This is the question that underscores all the subsequent ones:[S]hould we be trying to appease Google?Also, I hope I’m not the only one to be grateful that the article is from Anil Dash.

I noticed the name @Jack in the credits for The Archive, and wondered: Do you (does he) use the zettelkasten method in full, or just take notes with The Archive?
