- My hosted Ghost blog at bmann.ca is up for renewal. - Looking at Railway for hosting it - They have a Railway/Ghost Template but it has the same issue as all of the other things that try and host Ghost - I don't really need another site, but I'm back to thinking about LogSeq/Publishing for my own site - Hugo is what the LogSeq/Schrödinger Plugin, so I'm going to try doing that - I did do a Ghost install on Railway as a test, including adding records to mail.bmann.ca so it's setup to send from there - My private repo for the Ghost source - I don't really want to be using S3 either Ghost/S3…

- Another report from Reddit that Diablo 4 on Steam Deck is incredible - Taking some notes for the design thinking class I'm speaking to this coming week Langara Design Thinking March 2023 - Writing everything in TiddlyWiki and publishing just the public parts TiddlyWiki collapsed:: true - Runs NodeJS on desktop and then tags things with “Public” and publishes those into a TiddlyWiki/Single File Wiki - Which doesn’t work for me. The reverse of how I run foodwiki where every page is a static file is better - - Geoffrey Litt on LLM and end user programming - it seems likely to me that all…

  • vgr Report Cards

    • Report cards are good things and should be designed so nobody can ever coast to good outcomes on them as I did. Good report cards should force you to adapt to a received view of the world that cannot be entirely captured by your nerdy aptitudes, but doesn’t entirely waste nerd energy either.

  • Tom MacWright is building on val town in Recently

    • I’ve been working on a tricky project to move Val.town’s internals to Deno and adding better isolation between execution and the host environment. Luckily, it feels like we’re in the right place at the right time - there are a lot of new V8 Isolate-based JavaScript runtimes coming to the surface, standards emerging for them like WinterCG, and frameworks built for them like Hono and Remix. The last mile - isolation, code bundling, and communication - is still the wild west, and that’s what I’ve been building.

- Jay Graber writes an update on the BlueSky private beta Bluesky AT Protocol - Very inspiring! I love her writing and much of it resonates strongly with me - As a developer, ==you can freely build apps on atproto because open protocols are locked-open APIs==. However, if you just want to introduce another way of showing people posts, or moderating content in the network, we are designing interfaces for you to plug in and do exactly that, accessible through our app. ==If you’re building a new social app, you’ll be able to tap into the social graph and interest graph of atproto users the way…
