Stop being a pawn of third party web hosts who only care to use your content for their own gains.
I made one of those non-resolutions (I prefer them as silent promises) to make an effort each month of 2026 to mop up some of my digital messes. No pledges here. To be honest, some like this one are not really all that much of a technical achievement, no where in the neighbour hood of […]
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 […]
Oi, I have many a blog draft bouncing in the brain to recap last week’s outstanding Reclaim Open Conference– if you missed out pretty much of the activity and sessions is sitting there openly for you to rewild your ideas. Ideally I would have had this post done prior to my Small Piecers Still Loosely […]
If all the technical widgetry works, this post will be published November 4 at the time it will be revealed as its own post (now available post conference) on the Reclaim Open Conference, as my slot on the “Blog-a-thon” day. In the saturated metaphor nature of this post, consider this post having being rooted here […]
Against my better judgement (oh it was against the judgment of the web site owner) I am setting up the old school FeedWordPress syndication bus for the crew painting the Confabulating/Combobulating site for the upcoming Reclaim Open conference. I have discovered finally a Chat AI thing I can live with and love, TomGPT which yes, […]
It’s one thing to mutter promises of being back, it’s quite another to actually do it. Through an unlikely path (again), I have finally managed to resurrect the wall of media web presentation tool I ran with for a long while, that which was once known as CoolIris. This was something I fleshed out first […]
It’s Old Man Blog time again, just sitting here quietly on the front porch of the blog. Not only has the neighborhood gone downhill, the whole dang city has left for the bright lights of the social media mall. Does anyone remember the so insightful writing of Mike Caulfield, written on his blog, you can […]
Hey, it’s a tiny post, just like 2004 days. Short. Sweet. If you are actually reading this post, not just clicking a like button, you hopefully notice a bit more “zip” to it? Like a purring sports car engine. Like… …being now hosted in Reclaim Cloud. It was maybe a year or more ago, when […]
For reasons to be seen soon, I am tending to some domain cleanup. Okay, I am moving this blog from shared Reclaim hosting to their cloud hosting. Over 20+ years with this tank/barge a lot of stuff has piled up that can be better left in a quieter corner. Mainly it’s because for at least […]
Today I am wearing my Get Federated t-shirt as my attire as a guest on an Open Education Week panel on “Where are OER conversations happening anymore?” I sing of a Bridge over some kind of waters: Oh, social media gets brokenAnd followers just can’t be foundLike a bridgy over federated networksI will connect me […]
