I’m curious if anyone has tried building a digital public zettelkasten on WordPress in general or using using the Slippy plugin in particular?
Hi Chris,
you would think WordPress could do this.
I installed slippy on a test blog. As far as a quick look showed it would not be useful for a public slip box. There is no published url that I could easily find. The repeated slips appear in the editor.
I'm pleased to report that our iMac is now better than ever, thanks to Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC and Mac (also known as Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop). What exactly is this operating system with an incredibly long name? It is a Linux distro based on Debian with the Raspberry Pi's desktop environment. (This is not actually the operating system that is typically installed on the Raspberry Pi devices (Raspberry Pi OS), but Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop and Raspberry Pi OS are incredibly similar.)

I was interested to read How to Reverse an Animated GIF
convert water-forward.gif -coalesce -reverse -quiet -layers OptimizePlus -loop 0 water-reversed.gif
So gave it a quick try. The result wa fine, but my 228kb gif was 1.1 MB in reverse. So I had a wee look art the gifsicle man page and ended up after a few tries with:
gifsicle -U stairs01.gif "#-1-0" --colors 32 -O3 -o downstairsR.gif
249kb
we currently live in a period of edtech excess and that this is fuelling increasing disadvantage and climate crisis. He remains sceptical, like many of us, that the answer to these big problems is yet more tech.

I just noticed that my Hypothes.is account has passed the 10,000 annotations mark.
Hi Chris,
10,000 I sub to the RSS feed! Not necessarily calming, but an amazing source of serendipity. Much appreciated.
And the documentation to get started https://makecode.com/writing-docs/tutorials
Brian, that is very cool. Pasting an example markdown from github into the editor looks like a good way to figure it out.
I have been lazy in not getting into the IndieWeb game here, but look who is catching up!
CogDog getting into the IndieWeb, what’s not to like.
So, ds106.club is now loading securely over https, not that anyone would notice or care but me. I like tinkering on small, zero-priority sites because they allow me to figure stuff out without any repercussions if things go wrong.
Hi Jim,
Someone would notice & care;-) I log on to the club once every year or so. Just fixed a couple of http references to https. I still wonder if the tilde environment would make a good place to run a ds106 course.
It is also a good tinkering place.
My response: WHO CARES! I started two podcasts (Convocast and Thinking About Tools For Thought) without any media empire support. Did I make any money? No, but that wasn’t why I created those podcasts. I did it for fun and to share information/perspectives with others.
I’ve podcasted both for fun and as an learning experience for my pupils. This rings true.
