I don’t see any home brewers around, but they must be somewhere nearby.

Well, this is exciting, and a little bit scary. Proposal for the book of Our Daily Bread is on its way to publisher. Now to wait. Fortunately, baking with natural leavens teaches patience.

I wish I agreed that a code of conduct shouldn’t be necessary, that the law and common sense should be enough to ensure good behaviour. Alas, I think the very point that common sense is uncommon, and that there’s no argument against “I thought I was behaving decently” make some kind of fallback necessary. A code of conduct is not, of course, a legal agreement or contract, but the same reasoning applies: Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

I’ll be sorry not to see Christian at Nürnberg.


Keeping out of mischief.

@cn @lioncourt @vasta Should be fixed now, although the update and the fix exposed a couple of other “issues”.

@nxD4n I’m not absolutely sure, but if you disable the Public Comments plugin, I think that still allows webmentions through.

The release of gitsync 2.0 for Grav can’t come soon enough for me.


On Cash, in which a busker prompts Tim Bray to reassess his priorities

What hap­pened was, I was walk­ing through a train sta­tion on the way to work with the buds play­ing ran­dom­ly on shuf­fle and a knifeblade of Real Mu­sic came in from out­side so I had to pull them out of my ears, there was this young dude get­ting great elec­tric sound out of a tee­ny amp do­ing a slow take on Lit­tle Wing with a re­al­ly good voice: When I’m sad, she comes to me… plen­ty room be­tween the notes and lots of soul in them. He looked a lit­tle hard-pressed; I put my hand in my pock­et for some coin but there was no coin there be­cause I live on plas­tic these days and that busker went un­paid that morn­ing. Another rea­son for a thing I’m think­ing of: Go­ing back to cash.PESOS from Reading.am.


Squalid London - Craig Murray

I read it, I note that I am unsurprised, and I move on. That is what is wrong with me.


"Genebanks are supposed to be forever" recognises the 20-year effort to ensure that at least one genebank is funded in perpetuity. One down, 10 to go.

Nice post, but alas, when I liked it on my stream all it picked up was your author name as Title and the automated summary. I know it is all about the plumbing, but this is one of my chief niggles about automated syndication (by me) – that there is so much variability in what is sent and received that it kind of makes a mockery of the process.

So I’m doing the manual thing now, to make sure this finds its way back to you, in case the other one doesn’t.
