Interesting things I've noticed a lot of at #OSCON Day 1:

iPad check-in
Pathable mobile conf app
Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides
Twitter hashtags
macOS & MacBooks
DocuSign contracts
Dropbox file sharing

Wasn't this supposed to be the #OpenSource Convention?

Just read a really interesting article on Zillow’s business changes. First I had no idea about these changes, secondly this is an amazing breakdown of the changes and why they would happen and what it could mean for the real estate industry.

oh no, I've reached that point in a quixotic project where web searches related to the thing I'm working on are starting to bring up pages I wrote, because basically nobody else has ever done this before

Finally time to head back to Scotland. I have truly lived the American dream.

I now get the same feeling reading App Store reviews that I used to get when moderating spam comments on my old Wordpress blog.

I wanted Micro.blog to be so strictly reverse-chronological and anti-algorithmic timeline, that I waited a long time to make this change: just flipped conversations to be oldest at top. The clicked post on the web is also lightly highlighted.

The thing I like about hostels is that it's equally socially acceptable to talk to any person about anything as it is to completely ignore everyone who crosses your path.

oookay, time to attempt to make it the entire width of a quite wide country without buying any tickets in advance and having only a haphazard knowledge of schedules and probably no wifi. It'll be fine. See you on the other side*.

* The other side is Georgia. I'm going through Turkey.

Imagine if people introduced themselves like Web browsers do

Hi, I'm Michelle, actually I'm Angela, I resemble George but not really. As I was saying, I'm Christine, and also Sam.

Reposting @aaronpk's interface they implemented for #ActivityPub mentions in #p3k (https://indieweb.org/p3k) for better visibility and inspiration. Bridging the #indieweb and #fediverse is so exciting. Lets hope this trend continues infinity!
