Why butter chicken, why not tomato chicken? @KanjiSuch explains:

If I had to guess, it would be that butter makes it sound fancier and nicer than just saying tomato chicken, because tomatoes are in many other chicken dishes, too.

From the transcript, now available.

For the sake of completion, the solution is to edit Themes/Solo/templates/default/solo/shell/head.tpl.php or the equivalent file in whatever theme you are using.

I’m still, at heart, both a coward and a pessimist.

There is, in my mind at least, some confusion between discoverability and promotion. That is, I want people to be able to find my podcast, which means I both need to promote it where the ears are and, if possible, make sure the ears can find it.

I’ve lost track, Ton. What are you using now as your feed reader?

Making tentative steps towards implementing an IndieWeb social reader and so reading up what other people have done and how they are using these ideas.

Can anyone tell me which template I need to edit to add an extra link to headin @withknown CMS?

Created an account at alltogethernow.io. It’s a start.

[S]o many people in the world today lack the opportunity, knowledge and skill to provide even the most basic perquisites of daily life, and I believe this is a silent pathology that eats at contemporary society.Yup.

I find this very interesting. As a podcast producer, I do not, generally, use a lot of music behind speech. That might be because I am a stick-in-the-mud old fart who learned that craft, such as it is, at a well-known broadcaster. Also, it is really difficult, especially when there is no-one I can ask to do it for me. Listening to track after track after track to find the right one is so time-consuming. But maybe that’s a waste of time? You seem to be suggesting that I just bung some smooth jazz under everything.

I’m pretty sure nothing much has changed in the intervening 28 years.

Thomas PM Barnett seems to be building a combination personal search engine and Zettelkasten called InfoSquirrel and plans to sell it as a service. I doubt I will ever be able to afford it, but it does look interesting and I certainly wish him well.

I love this idea:

Oct 30 (the number 30 in the octal number base) is the same as Dec 24 (the number 24 in the decimal number base)

Thank you Björn Wärmedal

Yes: Wish I could be at IWC Dusseldorf in person, but remote will have to do.
