Oliver Eric Rawlings must be relieved he apologised. His mum will never find out now.
@iamdanw You funny.
@blech She was keen on @samuelpepys a year or two back.
@blech Oh, ta! Is this a purposeful omission? twitter.com/LouiseMensch/s… Understandable, just wondering :)
@tomcoates Yeah. I like having it as an idea of what I think personal sites should be, an accumulation of everything. But even so.
@tomcoates I want to keep doing it but… time. Even once it’s done and running, everything needs updating, always moving.
@6to5against @samuelpepys It’s his patron, Edward Mountagu: pepysdiary.com/encyclopedia/1…
Years of writing, tweets, books read, photos taken, music listened to, sites linked to, locations checked in to. All of it moving.
That’s the difficulty with “own your own data”. Over the years you accumulate so much that the processes become onerous.
I should rewrite it. But the last Frankenstein’s monster, from the previous attempt, lies half-finished on the table, already obsolete.
My personal site is gradually rotting, interactions with services breaking, libraries no longer being updated, features disappearing.
@productclub Eek, hope it’s all OK!
Writing some PHP, no framework or anything. I feel like I’m cycling my childhood bike downhill with no hands. Brilliant! Wheeeeeee!
@stml I assumed the “Victorian Reptilians” thing (also, what?!) was going to be about Doctor Who: matthewashton.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/madame…
@annegalloway From memory, this talk by @warrenellis was good on utopias youtube.com/watch?v=RLTs4R… (It was good generally too.)
Migrated my Blogger blog to the new format. It only contains two test posts, one from 2000, one from 2007. Due for another soon.
