micropost
I plan to write a Dutch blogpost on Micro.blog today/tomorrow. It depends on how proactive my daughter will be for herself with the preps for het xmas dinner at school ;-) Anyway, @manton are you available for a quote or perhaps some insights in first growth? Can I mail you?
I am looking for proper explanations or code-examples how to make a facepile of my webmentions. I use Jekyll on GH Pages. Any pointers are welcome!
The word Weblog turns 20 today. Here’s a small part of (Dutch) internethistory written in my weekly digest
Last Jedi. Excellent.
next thing to find out: Can I set the source of my blog to just the site directory of my Jekyll installation and upload that. As in a separate repository or something. Still learning this whole Github thing…
Working at home next to the xmas tree. Too much snow on the road…
This evening I read up on IOTA, a cryptocurrency for IoT devices. I think. I’m not sure what it is anymore since the articles I read are filled with hoopla on The Tangle (some sort of blockchain) and other hyped-up words. Anyone here familiar with IOTA to get me up to speed?
Is any of you familiar with Airtable? I think it’s a great app/spreadsheet/database to organize all sorts of stuff. I wrote a (dutch) blogpost on it. diggingthedigital.com/airtable/
1987 feels as far away for a 14 year old kid today just as 1957 did for me when I was 14 in 1987.

Utrecht gets a new central railway station and shopping mall. I drive by every day to get to work and I have to say I am really impressed how it’s gonna turn look.
I just added a JSON feed to my Jekyll based blog. Took me about five minutes. Without a plugin or difficult configuration. Incredible.
Diggingthedigital.com/feed.json if you want to add some Dutch blogposts to your media consumption 😂😂😂
Anyone with some Webmention experience here? I have the working someway somehow. But is it possible to delete webmentions from my site? On this post there is a test-webmention I did. Can I delete that? Where?
Next task: Why doesn’t my site show the Twitter avatars in the webmentions? See diggingthedigital.com/Jim-en-An… as an example…. Euhm… can I webmention @voxpelli somehow from here?
Well…it turns out I just have to question this stuff, start over again and all of a sudden it works. A combination of Bridgy and webmention.herokuapp.com seems to work. I still need to style everything but the basics work. Not quite sure how but hey…
How do I send myself a webmention to test if the works?
Webmentions. I have no idea where to start. I would like to have them on my site (runs on GH pages) instead of Disqus but I can’t figure what steps to take. I check out Bridgy, webmention.io, the jekyll plugin. But I can’t figure it out. I need a Webmention For Dummies!
Had quite the codefight last night (look at me all rhyming and stuff!) to try a new Jekyll theme. I ended up reading up on Git, Ruby, Bundle and Gem. It’s nice to DIY but it still so far away from hitting it the big league. And I still don’t have a new theme.
What are your thoughts on webhosting? I currently host my blog at Github Pages which is quite alright. I’ve had some experiences with webhosting and VPS, somehow it can get a hassle with those. Hosting at Amazon? What are your ideas?
Just to get a different perspective on another network then Twitter: What would be your definition of a blog? What elements would that definition hold? Is a blog pure txt/img? Is Instagram a blog? Snapchat? When does a blog become an online magazine?
Ik heb geen idee hoeveel Nederlanders hier zijn (10? 15?) Maar voor jullie heb ik wat uitleg geschreven over de #indieweb termen POSSE en PESOS.
Sorry non-Dutchies. I think Google Translate will be your friend reading what I wrote
