Caught wind of WordPressers federating comments via Twitter and of course I had to join in. Not impressed with Twitter’s character limit, or its new threading feature, and don’t like Facebook either. Looking forward to the day when participating on the indieweb becomes as easy as participating in silos.

Playing with quill today. Let’s see if I can publish a status post to my personal side, and then, get it to syndicate to Twitter and Facebook, all from my phone.

OK, so it posts, but not with the text of the post. More tweaking is necessary.

There’s an unlabeled field under the tags field in Quill. Need to experiment with what goes in here. Wondering if the text entered in the slug field is what gets used for post text when syndicating. More coffee first though.

Oh hi. The mentions page got syndicated. I suppose this has to happen if mentions are going to be collected. Just restarted the laptop because it got weird with Firefox and it needed a fresh start. Experiment Sunday continues.

VoiceOver, really gonna need you to knock off this constant repetition of “Page two of nine” nonsense. You’re disrupting my complete immersion in my Star Wars playlist goodness. Do not make me pull this screen reader over.

I usually don’t do public service announcements for Facebook chain letters, but I’m making an exception here because I’m seeing this one making the rounds and there are enough people on my Facebook who might actually try this because Bitcoin is all the rage right now. The chain letter goes like this:

Apples secret mining feature

Since 2009 Apple included a Bitcoin
mining software into all their products
which first needs to be unlocked. This
feature will allow you to generate
Bitcoins with your Apple computer as
efficiently as with a regular high end PC
To unlock the sudo rm —rf feature. simply open
your terminal and execute following
code:
sudo rm —r f/ *

That’s not a bitcoin miner. “Sudo” switches you to the root user, which is “God Mode” on your Mack. “RM” is the command to remove. “RF” tells your Mack to comb your hard drive in both directions, up and down from the directory you’re currently in. “*.*” tells it to look for everything on the drive regardless of file extension or whether it’s a directory or file. So, putting this together, the command in this chain letter ensures that you erase every single thing on your Mack’s hard drive. There’s no magic recovery option from this. You either rebuild your Mack yourself, or you take it to the Apple Store and they do it for you. Also, God help you if you don’t have backups of all your photos, documents, music and other data, because you’re rebuilding as if this is a brand-new Mack. Seriously, don’t do this. If your friend shares this chain letter with you, either as text or as its current screenshot form, explain to them why this is bad. If you see it on your newsfeed, go ahead and copy this post and share it in the comments. It’s probably the only time I’ll tell you to copy/paste/share.

I should add that “Plotting world domination with Denise” includes drinking lots of beer and eating lots of good food.

Wil has been banished to the darkness while Denise wraps presents. I’m sitting on the other side of this Facetime call commentating.

Wil found the perverted Christmas playlist on Youtube. This is fun.

Penny is desperately trying not to puppy charge. That dog is such a todler.

I would like to wish all my Christian friends and family who are celebrating a blessed, meaningful and joyous Christmas. And remember, you really do have twelve days, so if you can’t cram everything into one day, spread out the contemplation and celebration.

Dishwasher is loaded and started, trash is taken out, and that’s my productivity for today. We now return you to your regularly scheduled fun.

Life is too short to insist on a distinction between online friends and friends you have in “real life”. Also, who you are online is exactly who you are in “real life”.

Sweatpants are made for those times when you find you’re so full from good food that you need to stand in the corner.

Now that the elves are done with Christmas, they’ll be reconvening the Council of Elrond so they can resume the complete destruction of Mordor. And you thought those bastards slacked off for 364 days a year.

Adding Simple Twitter Response Buttons to WordPress Posts by Chris AldrichChris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)
Back at IndieWebCamp Austin, I became enamored of adding additional methods of interacting with my website, particularly for those who weren’t already on the IndieWeb train. I’d seen these types of interactions already on Tantek Çelik’s site in the past, so naturally I figured I would start t...

I’m writing this reply from my own site while I wait for my Twitter client to update and reload everything. One more advantage to the Indieweb. Anyway, I think having functionality like this inside either the Post Kinds or Bridgy Publish plugins would be great, and possibly have the advantage of wider user adoption. Press This is a feature that’s been removed from current WordPress Core and separated out into a plugin, due to the general lack of bookmarklet use. I happen to be a fan of WordPress’s post formats feature, but am now wishing they would just incorporate microformats 2 so that they conform to indieweb post kinds where possible. I think WordPress should possibly keep the “Aside” format as a longer form of status, or that there should be an indieweb equivalent of this.

OK, the Facebook, you’re getting a little too creepy with the “Please give us money” notifications for my page.
