@annia It’s a nice point, that Anthropocene blames all people rather than the rich few, but alas Oligocene is already spoken for.

@catlilycooks One reason why I always have a pack of Sugru in the fridge. stream.jeremycherfas.net/2022/god-…

As CSNY never sang, Feed Your Children Well

When I published last week’s episode, talking to @TinaMoffat3 about how important school meals are in showing children what it means to eat well, I had no inkling that this would be #NationalSchoolMealsWeek

@marcelweiss Doesn’t seem that extreme to me, perhaps because I have been doing it for quite a few years. But I am no techie, and many modern CMS enable quite a lot of the interaction that IndieWeb promotes.

Just published the latest issue of Eat This Newsletter, concocted from bits and pieces of edible material found here and there. Read it at buttondown.email/jeremyche… and while you’re there, consider subscribing.

@marcelweiss “the indieweb crowd has historically put too much emphasis on this extreme case”. What is the extreme case you are referring to, please?

Improvements over at searchmysite.net – where searches can now be converted to feeds and, thus, subscribed to, definitely merit further investigation. blog.searchmysite.net/posts/lot…

I’ve never really understood why Byword has not so far embraced micropub, which would enable posting to all sorts of different recipient systems. I never used it to post to WordPress because I has MarsEdit for that, but I would surely use it to post here.

The Squeeze smelled something odd as we got on the plane. Minutes later, the captain agreed and called an engineer with a thick binder to confirm. Something was well dodgy, so here we are languishing back in the terminal and waiting for a new plane. The Romance of Travel.™️

@allysseriordan Only three days, which is a bit of a pity. Taking the time to travel by train makes it more of an adventure and let’s me see other places along the way.

@allysseriordan Me too! Three hours into a two-day trip from Rome to Budapest, with an evening in Venice.

@ChrisAldrich Hardly surprising. The topic may have a long history, but it is very of the moment too.

Python dabblers: how do you avoid the dreaded “module not found” errors, when you know you installed the modules? I tried to get into virtual environments, but it seems like overkill. One nice all-encompassing install would do it for me, but it may be too late. Help!
