Ravens, At last a bright day. I’ve got a new camera, this was at 85x zoom (65 optical and the rest digital I guess) and cropped and resized to 1200 pixels. The zoom lens is a good way to watch at a distance.

Just posted on my class blog.
This week’s microcast answers a question from John Johnston about federation and the IndieWeb.
This is a really interesting listen, Doug takes a philosophical view of the IndieWeb and compares it to federation. I’m going to listen through again before I posts some thoughts.
It was of note I discovered the podcast via a webmention on the post where I asked the question.
Greg McVerry responded in kind Politics of Plumbing: IndieWeb and Federation and Arron’s response to that make interesting listening and reading too.
Doug’s time in answering my question is very much appreciated.
Doug, Interesting, I’ve started using brid.gy via the ‘Syndication Links’ plugin to post to Mastodon. I wonder if it handles replies. This should help me find out.
