Getting more and more stoked to spend next weekend in Portland doing the XOXO thang. A good dose of creative energy is just what I need right now.

If you’re there and you see me, please say hello! I’m going to try and grab a stash of awesome (not-branded) Dropbox laptop stickers to bring and distribute.

Has anyone plugged together WebSub (https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/) and Web Push (https://w3c.github.io/push-api/ or https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8030) yet?

Seems to me we could have occasionally-connected and roaming clients getting real-time notifications of things like, say, RSS feed updates, using mostly infrastructure that exists today.

Hello world

People often wonder why printers are so cantankerous but frankly any device that embeds pigmented runes in the remains of long-dead trees is going to be stricken by an ancient faerie curse from the start

@aaronpk yes. There is an update in the store that fixes this.

One of us will post a report on the Hello Code blog sometime soon.

If you say “tacos tacos tacos” over and over, you start to say “ghost tacos”. Spooky.

my next fan fiction is going to be about two people from rival mastodon instances who both don't federated with each other and how they hacked the networks to be able to chat and fall in love

Unix will give you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot. If you didn’t think rope would do that, you should have read the man page.

It's weird that the Mastodon server and the web-based ActivityPub reader that it comes standard with are the same code base and the same project with the same name. It makes it hard to communicate certain concepts like how in theory you could have an account on Mastodon dot social and follow literally only pleroma users

So one cool thing I learned from the Flash Forward listener survey is that my audience is only 50% dudes. Which is rare for a tech/science show! (also hey advertisers who might not think about advertising on a science/tech show because of demographics, get at me)
