“Google's June filing for political donations is up, and surprisingly, the $203K the company donated to politicians substantially aligns with its stated values of inclusion and respect for employees from all backgrounds.

LOL, I'm just messing with you. Let's go through the worst:”

I managed to work a little on Saorsa this evening, for the first time in a while. Mostly working on the markup of the comments, and adding little accessibility and microformat improvements where I can. I’m really trying not to put arbitrary timelines on things, but I’d like to have the skeleton HTML mostly locked down in time for IndieWeb Summit 2019. Whether that’s achievable will be determined by how much more I can get done over the weekend.

That awkward moment when – while merely throwing around ideas for a project – you realise you’re at £100 in 3D-printed parts before even buying a single miniature to go with those parts… 🤔

Quick update on my Contrast GSC… I’ve mainly the black and metal areas still to do, plus pouches,etc. I’m currently sitting at ~8.5h in total, across 54 models. Which, if my maths is right, equates to less than 10min per model 😳

I’ve ran out of space for paints, so I got this handy corner paint rack. Some assembly required, but it was nice and straightforward. I’ve spent more time blogging it than making it 😂

💬 Replied to: From Following Posts and Blogrolls (Following Pages) with OPML to Microsub Servers and Readers

“Continuing to extend the pathway from easily following websites to having them in your social reader.”

Thanks for consolidating this in one place, Chris. I caught snippets of the series and conversation between you and Ton in my Reader, but didn’t go back to search out everything. Now I have a concise place to go to when I have some time to read everything 😃

For my own part, my Links page is powered by the old WordPress Links Manager. I had no idea that had an OPML import function – that would have saved me hours of manual entry! I also didn’t know it could generate an OPML file for import elsewhere. “Today I Learned.”

In the last couple of weeks I’ve thought about creating a special page on my site to aggregate all of my Bookmark-type posts into one place. Similarly, I could create a custom “Kind” for Following, and aggregate those in a single place. Neither option would have their own automatic OPML file, but using a Kind does allow for a specific Feed for each type. It would allow for the full range of post meta to be added to each type too. The Post Kinds plug-in generates archives for each Kind, but I’m thinking a custom page would allow me to play with the presentation a bit more.

It’s something for me to experiment with at the least!

Speaking of IndieWeb Textpattern, I need to get back in the groove of writing up articles for it. I’ve got a backlog of 5 or so still to do.

🔖 Bookmarked: Step 4 - Sending Webmentions using Webmention.app and IFTTT

“We’ve previously enabled our site to receive Webmentions, but what can we do about sending Webmentions to other sites? Much like we use Webmention.io to handle receiving Webmentions, we’re going to use Webmention.app to handle the sending. And the best bit is, we don’t need to make any modifications to our site!”

I’ve added a new article to TextPattern which covers integrating with Remy’s new Webmention.app service to enable sending of Webmentions for sites which don’t have that capability natively.
