Helping me think through the indieweb concepts. Hopefully come the summer holidays I’ll get more time to change things Round a bit.

Chris Aldrich (Chris Aldrich | BoffoSocko)🔗 A tale of two QuickTimes a sad one at that. I love QuickTime Pro. A sort of Swiss Army knife for media. Made doing tricky wee tasks simple. And other things possible if you lack video editing software or skills.
Let me answer that question for you: For MOST* of us, audience DOESN’T matter. Stop talking about it. Period. End of conversation.
👍 Audience Doesn’t Matter, I lost this link and was reminded by @mrkrndvs
Every time I hear something about limiting screen time I cannot help but think about how poorly the concept has been thought out. If we talked about “food time” instead maybe that would help us think that while time matters (eating for hours each day is probably a bad idea), how long you eat p...
@twoodwar’s tasty analogy for thinking about this.
👍 enjoyed Philip K. Dick and the Fake Humans | Boston Review especially in ‘reader view’.

The humble blogroll is long overdue for some updates in form and functionality on the open web.
Chris is rebooting the blogroll idea. I used to have one but it got lost when I moved from pivot to WordPress. We held on to the links in GlowBlogs. The idea of giving the blogroll more importance is attractive, but would bring a deal of maintenance with it.
It is always good to be reminded about OPML, I’ve found Chris’s indieWeb one useful as well as Aaron’s Feeds. I subscribe to both in inoreader, so when they add a feed I do too.
Is there a worry that the already depreciated Links Manager feature in WordPress will go away altogether? I think I recall discussing this with the developers working on Glow Blogs and the links technology in WordPress is old and doesn’t really fit with the way WordPress is developed now.
I am often asked about the adoption of Chromebooks and have spent months agonizing how to respond. This article offers food for thought to teachers, administrators, school board members, and policy…
Fascinating article, I’ve always felt that I’d rather do interesting things on native appplication as opposed to a browser. I’ve not spent enough time with chromebooks to agree or disagree but plenty of provocations here.
DirectLinks: Better link copying
Saw this on DaringFireball.
DirectLinks – Canisbos is a Safari extension. Really useful for copying links from Google Search results. Update 6 Sep 2021: extension is gone, se DF for details, link now to archive. Ironic that the link goes to spam sites now.
Normally when you try and copy a link from a google search you get this sort of thing:
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCwQFjABahUKEwjq9YnOtOPHAhXxS9sKHUQDB-k&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFolktale&usg=AFQjCNHDEzwkM43l294OJ6AptxA7_Gg1pw&sig2=Lnf3ewVtFjbDOa7bl3SosA
As google wraps the link so that they can count clicks. Installing the DirectLinks extension means if I copy the same link I get:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folktale
Which is a lot more useful. A quick google finds ways of doing this in Firefox and chrome too. I’ve not tested those.
