I’m not particularly handy or an electronics whiz—obviously. There’s only two things I’d consider myself better at than most: drawing, and crafting relatively simple websites.

[F]ederation distributes governance and cost, and can allow us to tackle challenges that we couldn’t overcome without it. [….] Viva la federación!

Just threw together https://jan.boddez.net/raspberry-pi, on some of my former RPi “projects.” So I don’t forget. I’ll eventually add some photos (and set up similar pages for my guitars and arcade cabs). I mean, I could blog about all this, one project at a time, but I feel a brochure-like approach is somehow more suited.

Currently using this with (only) the IndieAuth and Micropub plugins. And my own Mastodon and Webmention plugins, for now.

Quickly created this WordPress plugin that basically introduces a short-form CPT—well, two, but you don’t necessarily have to use ‘em both—and maps Micropub entries to it. That’s it. How’s this relate to Post Kinds? It doesn’t. I like how it keeps WP Admin (and permalink URLs) really neat and all, but there’s no meta boxes, and no markup gets generated for you. (Want to add, e.g., u-in-reply-to in there? Gonna have to do that by hand.) https://github.com/janboddez/indieweb-custom-post-types

Going to stop forwarding replies to the “main thread,” I think. On this site, I mean. Their comment/webmention “renditions” are too often missing markup or images. I mean, unless I fix that. The downside would be that “follow-up replies” are currently only shown on that “main thread.” (Aargh.)

Just noticed someone wrap their existing entry-content in another one, causing the element’s overall padding to be twice what it (probably) should be.

(This other thing I keep seeing is p-name inside a note.)

New joystick, button blank where the extra hole used to be. Not perfect, but better.

Knew it.

[T]he team found that there was no relationship between an accelerated academic program—such as [skipping a grade, or entering college early]—and the students’ ultimate psychological balance.

This here’s probably the best guide to “IndieWebifying” any WordPress theme. Two things: (1) You could definitely use a child theme to do this. (Pro: very few files and very little code. Con: can’t have child theme child themes [in case others would wanna build off your work].) (2) You may wanna check for existing e-content and p-summary elements, like those added by plugins—Micropub—rather than blindly add them to every post.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever properly followed up on this. Regardless, I’ve still got to make OPML import and export more robust, but I’m pretty satisfied with all of the other features I was able to add on top of Aperture. I renamed the fork F-Stop, for now. Set up a new instance, too.

Meanwhile, scanned and cleaned up the sound adjustment instruction sheet that can be found inside, ‘cause I felt like it. Also found a complete manual online, in PDF format.
