Short status updates that may end up elsewhere, too.

Firefox instructions (approximately): type “about:config” in the address bar, search for “javascript” and hit disable.
Looks like the IndieAuth Client for PHP dropped the me param when it exchanged getAccessToken() for exchangeAuthorizationCode() around when it moved to the 1.0.0 version, and that WordPress’s IndieAuth plugin never fully caught up, I’m thinking because Aperture hadn’t upgraded till now (and no one is foolish enough to self-host it, let alone the very latest version). (Also, please correct me if I’m wrong.)
Look, I love (personal) blogs, but I couldn’t care less about your “strategy for making money writing on the Internet.” But, I’ve already said that.
I still have to re-enable link preview cards on this site! *adds to to-do list*
On microformats and Gutenberg. I’d been thinking about this before. I decided against Post Kinds back in the day precisely because a post’s type should simply be implied by its contents. And blocks are a solution for having to type out markup by hand, and you could use them for different custom post types—I do make the distinction between articles (regular posts) and notes (which are short updates without a title).

On accessible, responsive tables. (I happened to need this just now.)

Success in the IndieWeb is not measured by creating an app or platform with a large user-base[.] Success is achieved if even you yourself use your software regularly for your primary web identity.
Love this.

Essentially, I wanted to replace my Twitter timeline with a timeline of IndieWeb posts.

Don’t really like explicit IndieWeb post types (or kinds), but you knew that. And, the spec seems to agree.
[Post Type Discovery] helps avoid the need for explicit post types that are being abandoned by modern post creation UIs.
BREAKING: I cleaned my car today, for the first time in many months. (And didn’t even have to dry it, as it started raining right when I was finishing up. And applied a couple touch-ups to the leather on the driver’s side. Thing turns eight in a month, and it’s kind of starting to show.)

First read about Simi Valley’s Skatelab in a 1998 or so Thrasher or Transworld magazine, and visited the place in 2014 when we were honeymooning in California. (Website says it’s gone now, so I’m a bit surprised to be reading about it, still.)
I very much like the fact that the different “mainstream” IndieWeb plugins exist separately. That way, I can install only what I need—IndieAuth and Micropub.

I might finally create a personal landing page in the near future! But setting up and maintaining WordPress for a single, static, two-column page that should take no more than ~25 lines of HTML and CSS?
