Foursquare / Swarm to my own site, #indieweb style I’ve been adding more “stuff” from my life to this website. I use services like Instagram, Flickr, Mastodon, Foursquare, Facebook, StackOverflow, GitHub which have public-facing components. In the spirit of the #indieweb PESOS I got the notion to import my over-a-decade worth of Foursquare and Swarm checkins to my site. I don’t have a particular...

A fine remembrance of the web as it was; and is ReadWriteWeb Turns 20 by Richard MacManus. Take blogging itself. People don’t have blogs anymore, now they have email newsletters. People used to read blogs in their RSS Readers, and you would visit the website to leave a comment — or write your own blog post in reply, which would show up as a trackback link...

Own your newsletter People talking about newsletters today this week. I appreciated this: Set up a way for your blog to slurp your new Substack posts (i.e. on WordPress you can use an RSS aggregator plugin to pull in your Substack RSS feed) so they’re automatically archived on your own domain. That was from Have you “Moved to...

Why are so many folks compelled by web3? I think this describes it well, by Robin Rendle: The future feels like it’s already owned by Google or Facebook or some other enormous corporate interest, so I can understand that impulse to create something new like web3 because of that. Read the whole thing. I suspect people–particularly younger people–see “just websites” created by individuals...

Quote of the day: on personal websites Personal sites evolve in different ways, and they’re all valuable. There’s design and expression that makes whatever statements you might have at your own domain interesting; the visual sandbox. And there’s the predominantly written or photographic documentation of a life and career; the blog. And sometimes, both of those kinds of site intertwine into a...

It’s been a very long time since I was happy with how my website artlung.com presented me and my work and hobbies. Now I feel like it encompasses me better: my #programming, #comics, #toyrobot collection, #bodysurfing, #drawing and such. I’m a big believer in people owning their online space. I feel very skeptical that #twitter and #facebook/#instagram will be good stewards for people in the long haul. We don’t use MySpace usernames or AOL Keywords anymore but a domain name can—mostly—be maintained by a person. Anyway, I’m feeling good today. Onward!

Instalooter to WordPress I’ve been importing my Instagram posts for my @artlung account using IFTTT for 7 years with good results. But there was a set of several hundred posts from 2011 and 2012 that I never bothered with. To be honest looking back at the posts, and thinking of that time, those were the two years after...
