By what insane twisted logic of airport security theatre is it OK to have soft cheese in the hold but not in the cabin? Bereft

It may well be a known bug, but as it isn't my site that is affected, I cannot investigate in any detail. I feel odd about reporting "issues" that don't affect me directly and that I have only witnessed and wondered about. So I just draw attention to them. I haven't seen similar behaviour on my child of Independent Publisher, I don't think.

If anyone is going to report it, I would think it would be you or James

A #followfriday for micro.blogs is certainly a good idea, but there's something odd about the way Jimmy Baum's site renders webmentions. I'm seeing Chris Aldrich's comment -- which brought me there in the first place -- as "Chris Aldrich mentioned this Article on amongthestones.com".

Shouldn't it be "Chris Aldrich mentioned this Article on boffosocko.com"?

I do wish people wouldn't do Medium's dirty work for it. John Naughton (and plenty of others) said what a great couple of pieces Dave Eggars had written in Medium, without saying that the work wasn't available without signing up for Medium. That may not be the worst thing in the world, but is it too much to hope that Dave Eggars will syndicate his own work to a place where anyone can enjoy it? Maybe eventually it will be in a book I will happily pay for.

I haven't used it,but I think Jared Sinclair's Stormcrow app is intended to build a tweetstorm from z bigger chunk of text, so it would be reasonably easy to use either before or after writing the blog post, if that's what you're doing. There's clearly a difference between text and tweetstorm, though, and, like @nitin, i would prefer to promote something I had written with selected tweets.

This anguishing about comments has been going a good long while. Fun to uncover this one.

All packed and ready for trip that culminates at #hearsay17, hoping that cheap Irish airline doesn't notice the weight of my handbag.
