I’ve been full on the Get Federated train, and have been most happy with having this WordPress blog going beyond just auto posting posts to the Mastodon but blogging about being a fully fediverse resident entity (if you will) via the ActivityPub plugin. It’s challenging as the expectation for most folks (including me and services […]
Indeed, this post is a test. With the move of this olde barge of a blog from Reclaim Hosting’s shared hosting to Reclaim Cloud, the WordPress Activity Pub seems not to by firing out via @barking@cogdogblog.com in Mastodon. On the publishing side, I see the WordPress wheels spinning in the process, but it never completes. […]
While many people are slamming WordPress because of its baby in charge, I’m focussed still on the open source software I run on my own sites that are not impacted by the tantrums. Lately I have been putting to work on several sites, the WordPress ActivityPub plugin that makes your site publish to and suck […]
There was a moment at the [brilliant] #OER24 conference keynote duo by Catherine Cronin and Laura Czernowicz “The future isn’t what it used to be: Open education at a crossroads” when they asked the audience to Menti respond to a question about what we should do as an action. Watching the responses roll by when […]
I accept being way out of sync with the current state of connected communications, holding stubbornly to ideas as old as a well chewed bone that no one else desired. An old bone, indeed. Hey, beyond bloggingaboutblogging I invent bloggingaboutnotblogging (newly minted tag)? A well worn topic here is the idea of commenting on blogs […]
Managing Open Education Week, one of my major responsibilities at Open Education Global, is just well sort of over… well not really over as I have managed to munge it out in time beyond the March 2-6 dates. I’ve been recasting it for the last three years but yikes, have yet really to blog about […]
Testing some fediversal URL auto embeds for WordPress happening in this here blog, now with slapping a naked URL on its own line: which embeds beautifully just like this- SHAZAM!~ Can we go beyond mastodon? What about a pixelfed URL? and yup. I am seeing an embedded pixelfed photo here. WINNING! As it turns out […]
It’s mad conference activity blog catchup, still lots to cover from last week’s Reclaim Open conference. This is a quick post (hah the previous quick one took like 3 hours) about my session on day 2: Small Pieces Still Loosely Joined, Integrated, Federated. It hardly needs blogging (hah) as it was a good reason to […]
Coming up in a few days, me with a band of other DS106 Never Quitters, are on tap November 4 for a live conversation session for the Reclaim Open Conference – in that session sharing our love for and refusal to stop being part of the DS106 Daily Create aka The Daily Create (TDC). In […]
Just to keep the blog reflexes flexing, this is a brain dump recap of me having enjoyed a session yesterday being on the Reclaim Hosting video chat session Blogging Community of Practice. Is that the right link or is it this one? Anyhow, Maren and Jim et al invited me to blab about “Blogging in […]
