Just wondering why @adactio’s sparklines contain only 131 points on the x-axis. Maybe because a day on which nothing is posted is not recorded? Getting ready to publish my own first sparkline and want to do the right thing.

Thanks Aaron. I haven’t given up yet. In fact, getting another proposal together is high on this week’s agenda.


Definite kudos to @flourambassador for her forthcoming series on women in grain. Really looking forward to reading what she has to say. In the meantime, here’s a little European patriarchy, Watteau’s Ceres.

Chris Aldrich’s clever solution for not drawing attention to visible but “hidden” links doesn’t quite work as advertised, at least not for me in Firefox on OSX.


Every bit as good as it looks.

The light was actually even better than this snap.


I’d be the one up the tree too.

This post opened a whole can of ...

This post opened a whole can of worms relating to Grav’s public comments plugin. Despite being authored by “Team Grav” it hasn’t been touched for going on two years and just doesn’t work. It sends the notification email correctly, but does not acknowledge the comment and does not save the data.

I’ve taken a first look at the code, and it seems like I might just be able to wrap my head around it, but I will need hours free to do that. Hours that I do not currently have.

I could disable public comments again, and just accept Webmentions (which this post is intended to test). But although Comments are rare, some are worthwhile beyond mere affirmation, so I am loathe to do that.

P.s. It also raises again the need to fix Known’s HTML-escaping problem, and makes me wonder why the comment is truncated when it gets to jeremycherfas.net – which means looking at the templates there in more detail.

Ton’s post about his first edit of Open Street Map is just the nudge I need to start doing more of this myself.

@help I truly don’t understand how updates on micro.blog work. I deleted something on this site, which feeds to MB, but the post is still there.

After a month starving in the fridge, we developed a touch of ketosis. 24 hours and a couple of feeds later, we have fine activity and a good loaf. Yay microbiology.

A feed reader that offers control over deletion of old posts is good, I agree. A combination of age of post and number of posts per poster would be great. Like “delete all except the previous five posts per feed”. Wouldn’t work in MB, of course …


Not much of a harvest this year, but stocks are low, so I see marmalade in my future.
