  1. Happy New Year from UTC-8!It's past 1am here in #Vancouver, because I decided to sit down and flip the switch for my main site to now be powered by #LogSeq Published to #IPFS and served up via the @fission gateway2750 "pages" from ~20 years of ... blog.bmannconsulting.com/2023/01/01/happy-new-year.html
  2. Round two of #ChefsPlate trial. Here’s the Caribbean-style Beef & Veggie Rice Bowl. I’m picking up a few useful tricks for quick meals. I’m going to investigate some standard spice blends to have on hand, and quick aioli from mayo, minced garlic & a little water

  3. You can find a list of 382 public #LogSeq graphs by looking at GitHub repos that depend on the logseq-publish GitHub Actionhttps://logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/63afdf50-30de-40ef-a02e-ed54abd67c2d toolsforthought.rocks/tags/LogSeq
  4. I’ve totally seen this in Stellaris. Guaranteed there’s a space leviathan breeding ground in there mstdn.social/@DrJackBrown/109380352121176236
  5. Also a good excuse for me to link to the Wait Equation. We can “see” 600M light years, what might it take to travel there logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/Wait%20Equation
  6. After getting Chefs Plate, I recreated an entire meal: the Herby Panko-Crusted Chicken. The trick is dredging the chicken in mayo instead of an egg or batter. foodwiki.bmann.ca/December%252023rd%252C%25202022.html

  7. This is a great thread by @piamancini, CEO of @opencollect They’ve helped raise $88M since 2016, and $43M in the last year alone. People pooling funds to make good stuff happen. It’s working! Open source and mutual aid as the top two categories. @piamancini/1606315241343619073
  8. I really enjoyed this call. I’m getting more ranty about how we have to work on a DWeb edge stack ahead of anything else. Thanks @cosmos_voice for having me! @cosmos_voice/1605977763151638528
  9. I am very excited about the @causalislands conference that we at @FISSIONcodes are hosting next April in Toronto. It’s about the future of computing. And we’d love to hear from you about proposing a presentation. Paid speaker travel and small honorarium. @causalislands/1605926142350966785
  10. I went out and took some pictures before shovelling. 30-40cm for sure!Some legend shovelled the entire sidewalk of the whole block, so I just did the rest of the building’s front cement walkway. #VancouverSnow social.coop/tags/VancouverSnow

  12. I figured out today that #LogSeq on iOS, because it’s just Markdown files, gets automatically indexed and included in search. So, a search for “cloud” will bring up notes that have cloud in them. Neat! logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/63a14675-25cb-4700-b0a5-46c502f4b5e2 toolsforthought.rocks/tags/LogSeq

  13. Does anyone know how to get to the source photo from the #iOS “Photo Shuffle”?I have mine set to rotate hourly and it’s great to see them, but then I’d like to perhaps post that photo or remember where / when it was by going to it in my photo library. ... blog.bmannconsulting.com/2022/12/18/does-anyone-know.html
  14. Sometimes working on my notes is exactly like using a fidget spinner. It occupies my mind and typing fingers, but there is no outcome or forward momentum.

  18. It’s fun for me to read it cover to cover, and create a #FoodWiki table of contents for the articles and recipes so I can search it and use it for inspiration foodwiki.bmann.ca/Cook's%2520Illus ... blog.bmannconsulting.com/2022/12/17/its-fun-for.html
  19. Cook’s Illustrated is one of the few pieces of paper-based reading I do. The back cover illustrations are a great excuse to learn about one topic, in this case #Tsukemono, Japanese pickles.

  20.

  21. Lots of cleanup left to do as well as learning what LogSeq can do. Can I mix private and public content? I am nervous / not confident about doing this. This build produces links with hash based routing eg logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/page/github%20pagesAs long as I can easily pe... blog.bmannconsulting.com/2022/12/16/lots-of-cleanup.html
  22. I’d like to import all of my blog content + archive to truly have everything interlinked. It’s about 2000 posts, not clear what the performance will be like for day to day note taking.
  23. And then what? Well, I really want to have good mobile workflows that can be published / shared online. Working Copy on iOS and GitHub Actions work for syncing and publishing. The LogSeq mobile app works. Let’s see if it sticks!
  24. Super excited to see #IPFSThing pre-registration go live today! This is an event for @IPFS & related protocol implementors that had huge impact this year.

  26. After lunch at Kozak Eatery, a Ukrainian restaurant in #Gastown, I picked up some bread, a poppyseed pastry, and a sour cherry bun to take home. They have a mini bakery & deli at the front.#foodwiki foodwiki.bmann.ca/December%252012th%252C%25202022.html social.coop/tags/Gastown

  27. Is how I do posting too convoluted? Can one join the worlds of RSS and blogs with ActivityPub & microblogging?Well, here’s my write up of how I’ve used the #MicroDotBlog features to import all of my Mastodon posts via RSS into my blog ... blog.bmannconsulting.com/2022/12/11/is-how-i.html
  28. One feed to rule them all - now cross posting to this blog : blog.bmannconsulting.com/2022/12/11/one-feed-to.html
  29. Memories from 2008 - @Miss604 posting this snippet from when I was the “third most influential online person in #Vancouver” @Miss604/1601677515290193920 mastodon.social/@Miss604

  30. I was just looking for some other photos around that time, so this “Social Media Cabal at The Templeton” is also from 2008. Darren Barefoot, Monique Sherrett, and Megan Cole.With a Globe & Mail newspaper on the table!

  31. New to me is that I can post here to my Mastodon account, and use Micro.blog’s feed import feature to post to my blog automatically.Testing as of this post!

  32. So it turns out #MicroDotBlog retroactively imports your feed. See screenshot from my blog of my #ToolsForThoughtRocks account posts imported.And hashtags link to a hashtag search on the server on which the account is - pretty cool. social.coop/tags/MicroDotBlog

  34. Robin Sloan’s lab newsletter has been making the rounds robinsloan.com/lab/new-avenues/ Lots of things to agree with here. The last para describes what we’re trying to build at Fission: what if localStorage, but synced between browsers? #xp
    My second question, the real one, is: what's the next-best thing? Is there anything simpler than a remote function, created and maintained by me, to which I get and set a copy of my localStorage? It seems like that would require authentication, the provision and management of something like a user account, and that's what I'm trying to avoid ... Any thoughts?
  35. I found @harper’s reading list and started Central Station by Lavie Tidhar It’s lovely writing so far. A far future #scifi set in Tel Aviv. And there’s a character named Boris, which is not very common. reading.lol/books/central-station/

  37. This doesn’t even cover DID wallets. And Passkeys! Lots of passwordless / cryptography based login stuff coming. Lots of UX work left to do. @FISSIONcodes/1597289243335831553
  38. Sunrise over Fisherman’s Wharf next to Granville Island, plus one of the new murals painted on the wharf. I’m over on this side of the city temporarily while some renovations get done to our apartment. #GranvilleIsland #Vancouver #mural #art
