The most positive piece of news. All power to Jack Monroe for drawing attention to a terrible situation & getting it fixed.
Just found this wee guy on a shelf. New battery & it works. Mounts on Mac too via usb. Bought in 2005. Some old #TeachMeet recordings. I’ve still to find out the button presses that make it record. Back in 2005 I noted “Interface is pretty poor compared to an iPod”.
The important thing I’ve learned here has nothing to do with Wordle or WordleBot. It’s that I can use Shortcuts to make an image out any HTML/CSS. As long as I can stuff it into a data URL, I can make an image from it. Could be very useful.
I don’t use shortcuts all that much, but this looks interesting.
Read: Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead ★★★★★ 📚
Great book, story of fictional woman aviator who circles the globe, embedded in family history & film of her life. Covering a lot of ground, in all senses, it pretty much all fits together.
Along the canal, A goosander, hazel catkins & a boat. Weather sleet, hail and breezy! Thanks to @vanessa for the catkin prompt which got me over the door.
My blog was born on 5th February 2005, which makes it 17 years old today. I continue to find blogging valuable, both the process and the concept. I also read old posts most days which may well be the best thing about it.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for this.
One thing I liked when I did Radio Edutalk was by doing the show live I felt no pressure to edit the archives, beyond a bit of levelling and trimming my technical problems at the start of a nicecast broadcast.
One of the values, to me, of listening to a podcast is the extra information, often emotional, that is carried by the voice. This research linked might support that premiss.
As podcasting gets a lot more professional, one of the downsides might be the loss of the unedited voice.
Despite what web3 claims, it’s possible to “own” your content without a proof of it on the blockchain (see: IndieWeb). It’s also possible to create things just for the sake of putting them out into the world.
