De problemen die @frankmeeuwsen en ik hebben met de Post Kinds plugin blijken ook een vorm van lock-in. Eens op kauwen hoe ik dat ongedaan maak.

#IndieWeb

After building an OPML proof of concept for federating book shelves, some remarks and questions w.r.t. the utility of OPML and RSS for this use case.

#books #IndieWeb #opml #reading #rss

I created a proof of concept of a booklist in OPML, both human and machine readable, that can point to other people's lists as well for discovery.

#IndieWeb

Matching my ideal feed reader functionalities with IndieWeb components, to see if that shows a potential path to creating it, or remixing it from building blocks others created.

Started playing w CSS grids, to get to a brick layer style IndieWeb compliant Wordpress theme.

Turns out there's a downloadable WP plugin for speakerstack.net that sends PDF to ConvertAPI and puts the returned jpgs per slide in a Slick slider to present them onscreen.

#IndieWeb #scribd #slideshare

Thinking about bringing slide decks now on Slideshare / Scribd 'home' to self-hosting. What would be options? Basic hosting packages (possibly limited storage), cloud storage (possibly hard to embed in viewer), any things between those two?

Some reflection on yesterdays IndieWeb conversation about wikis.

#blogs #IndieWeb #wiki

Writing about the use Del.icio.us had for me, makes me think how to create similar utility (triangulation, language analysis on tags) using #IndieWeb standards with bookmarks across our own websites.

I got featured in the Micro Monday podcast by Micro.blog's @macgenie, in which I briefly talk about blogging, birthday unconferences, #IndieWeb etc. https://monday.micro.blog/2019/11/11/ton-zylstra-aka.html

17 yrs ago today I started blogging. Some reflections on my tech advocacy (#indieweb #indiewebcamp #techpledge #infosec #ethicsbydesign and more) in the past yr.

Human life expectancy is ~80. A company's life expectancy ~15 yrs. When companies disappear they will take your data down with them. You can use platforms for reach and collaboration, but also having your own 'mothership' to host your original material is ~5x as sustainable. #indieweb

#IndieWeb

Following @dshanske 's example I've documented how my WordPress is set up for easy (self) reference. #IndieWeb

#IndieWeb #wordpress

Taking a stroll through archive.org I realised it has my old 2003-2008 postings on a different URL in Dutch and Germany, and 33 postings on energy transition from 2004-2006. Now contemplating to bring them 'home', so I have all content in my main blog. #indieweb

My small change to WP Post Kinds has been adopted into the master code of the plugin. It is mightily pleasing to know I've had some tangible influence on an actual WP plugin I use daily.

This is a good observation. In my mind Flickr for instance isn't about sharing per se, but I see it as an off-site archive next to my photo archive on my laptop and a NAS at home. That it allows for easy re-use of those images in my own site is an added bonus. Will need to write a bit about my own thoughts from this session too.

It's a wrap at #IndieWebCamp Amsterdam. Some after event notes for @frankmeeuwsen @frank to take into account for next editions. #IndieWeb

Random #indieweb question: has anyone ever POSSE'd from their site into the LinkedIn timeline?
