Daniel Villar has been on fire with the SPLOTs. Not only did he invite me for a workshop last month in Coventry University (and that site is a SPLOT), where we got pre-made versions of them available on Conventry.domains, he recently put three different ones into play for his new OWLTEH project. Beyond this, Daniel […]
I do take requests for SPLOT features; the whole evolution of them has been propelled by ideas people have sent me. Readers should ask, “What The Hell is a SPLOT?” Good question, I have a SPLOT that answers that question (google recursion). Before plopping the details, I should acknowledge Reclaim Hosting for starting in April, […]
Syndicating blog posts with Feed WordPress is a good tune, an old song here, from the heady days of early ds106 to my current class. But what about aggregating comments from multiple blogs? It’s come up often over the years, and recently in the Twitters by fellow RSS junkies It'd be interesting to look at […]
I’m a huge fan and repeat user of Martin Hawksey’s Twitter TAGS. If you are doing a class or project with activity around a hashtag, and you are not using this tool, just stop everything and set one up. It’s rather brilliant, a Google Spreadsheet with some Hawksey-ian script genius underneath. It archives all tweets […]
I don’t do a wacksock of presentations these days. When I do, I like running them on the web, from the web, a la SPLOT fashion. But I did/do like the approach of being able to send out tweets during presentations, something I figured out in 2011 with Keynote Tweet. To be clear, I did […]
I’m SPLOT tinkering and feel a wave of totally un-necessary but irresistible song plays… How does it feel to be One of the beautiful splots How often have you added video Often enough to know What did you format when you were there Everything that WordPress can Captions you’re a rich text Captions you’re a […]
Actually my title and featured image went a little off track. This is not about one powerful CSS feature… it’s all of them. Now I know that most people run shrieking at the sight of HTML, and me talking about CSS just ends up sounding like this. And I am far from being a CSS […]
I’m vying in a contest on my own blog for least intelligible post title. The competition is thin. I introduced this word (and the same photo) (because at least people should enjoy the photo) in a talk this week on my approach of “doing it web style”. The audience had not heard the term dogfooding […]
It’s been while since I did a keynote talk… and even longer since I got my gimmick working to automatically tweet from my Apple Keynote slide deck (first done in 2011). I’d pretty much shied away from slide decks, instead doing more talks lately direct from the web using my own SPLOTpoint or doing things […]
“But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born…” The translation of “standard” Lorem ipsum text might be talking about mountain biking… This rather un-nessary bit of web tinkering was triggered by some tweets this morning from Tom Woodward about one of the variants of […]
