  Surf Sucks: Time For Misc Ugh. Surf report for south San Diego is dismal this morning: It’s a total mess out there this morning as potent storm front continues to blow through the area. A new and strong WNW swell has moved into our areas and is overriding what ever swell activity is out there. Shoulder to overhead sets are...

Putting your stuff on a companies servers usually means they get to do what they want to with...

  Another day, another… This* is why I pay money to a registrar for my own domain and pay money to a hosting service for a web server and application server and databases and use open software that makes my data portable to myself as much as is practical. * Different reason each week.

  Zero Theme Link-o-rama Being a post on the many things I’ve read, half-read, meant to read. But first, here’s Joe with a San Diego weather follow-up: The Jan. 22 Floods Displaced More Than 1,000 San Diegans from Their Homes. The Bruce Sterling prediction for the future from back when he was doing Viridian remains as true as ever:...

  IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023 This weekend I’ll be participating in IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023. That title is large, but the event will be small and outdoor, befitting the current scary age as we reckon with our nearly-but-not-quite post-COVID age. As a longtime San Diegan I was situated to provide information for a good venue, Blackmarket Bakery on 30th Street...

  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...

  Expatriate I posted over on Mastodon. The most important thing that happened to me was to become, at age 7, an expatriate kid. I was only that for a few years, but the learning stuck. I retain this point of view even decades later. Here’s 5 lessons. 1. I know that the things taken for granted...

  I’m over on Mastodon For those few of you who also follow my Twitter account you may have noticed a severe drop off in my participation on that site. The overall quality of interaction there, along with the aggressively poor behavior of the owner has been enough of a prompt for me to step away from it to a...

  Mastodon! Back in 2019 I first heard of Mastodon. I saw this: a Pi Zero with stats back at XOXO in 2019. Since the Twitter changes, I’m using my Mastodon account more than my Twitter account. Simon Willison recently wrote Mastodon is just blogs, having blogged for twenty years I definitely feel that. Anyway, read Simon’s...

  Twitter went private, then it got weird. I’ve been using twitter since October 2006. That’s not a short amount of time to be using a service. 16 years! It’s deeply weird to return to what was once called “internet time.” Internet time was what we called the era where brand new web pages or services would pop up and get massively popular...
