+ [[The next UK election will be decided in the north of England]]. Because a bunch of seats could switch (back) here.

+ Keep on hearing [[Looking Backward]] mentioned in various places. WLTR.

+ Chuffed to have found my old notes on [[Jackson Rising]] from social.coop reading group. Was a really inspiring book. Might re-read. Should at least see where CJ is now.

+ Oh nice, there’s a [[Jackson Rising Redux]] soon to be published this year. Looks like it might reuse a lot from Jackson Rising, but that’s alright.

Staring out of the window at the crows in the trees, as the trees turn to silhouettes, and listening to this track.

Doing something good to the ol’ brain chemistry.

Thought about [[revolution in the twenty-first century]] for node club this week.

I feel catalysed.

@flancian did it too – very nice to do some [[parallel writing]].

+ Gonna peep [[Revolution in the twenty-first century]] for [[node club]].

+ I like [[Bill Seitz]]’s page on [[parallel writing]]. [[node club]] is an example of it.

The absence of yearning but the presence of regret.

This is great. I’m loving Congotronics. h/t James!

"Using everything from old milk boxes or beat-up Volvos, here are six musicians or collectives embracing the act of upcycled instrumentation."

+ Listening: [[Occupy Wall Street: A Decade Later]]. Really good. Drawing direct links from [[Occupy Wall Street]] to uptick in [[Worker cooperatives]] in the US after it, and mutual aid projects like [[Occupy Sandy]].

+ Reported an issue to [[Resonate]] and it was fixed tout suite. Nice peeps.

+ [[Smalltalk and commonplace books]].

+ Bookmarked: [[General Idea of the Revolution in the Twenty-First Century]]. Sadly looks Occupy hope/hubris that didn’t come to pass.

+ So: [[Revolution in the twenty-first century]]. Plenty of hot takes if you do an interwebs search for it.

+ Reading: [[The Tyranny of Openness: What Happened to Peer Production?]]. Another good ‘un from [[Nathan Schneider]].

+ Landing on articles from [[2011]] full of revolutionary fervour. Planning to listen to [[Occupy Wall Street: A Decade Later]].

+ I want to fire up the [[Captain’s Log]] again. It was a lot of fun and I love the visualness of it. All text all the time is boring. But can’t seem to find the time right now.

+ I am writing this from [[MX Linux]]! My notes on [[Setting up a new box]] have been super helpful – glad I made those. I’m fleshing them out now as I set up this fresh box.

+ [[Problems with an old mouse]] now! Freezing/dying occassionally. What’s going on, this stuff seemed to have all been ironed out. Maybe the mouse is busted.
+ Actually it’s been OK for a while since plugging in to a different USB port. Maybe it’s the port.

+ [[syncthing]] is amazing. I have no idea how it works most of the time, but it does (most of the time). It just magically picked up a suggested peer, presumably because they’re on the same network.

+ Had fun clicking around on [[Thompson Morrison]]’s wiki.
+ Came across it as he linked to http://wellspring.fed.wiki/view/wiki-nature in the FedWiki chat. [[Wiki Nature]].
+ From there found stuff on complex systems, [[autopoesis]], etc. Rad.
+ Found a little sentence on [[Occupy and stigmergy]] wiki. Very interesting to me.
+ I’ve added Thompson to [[My garden circles]].

+ Bookmarked and read: [[The Stigmergic Revolution]]

+ [[Pharo]] and [[Glamorous Toolkit]] look interesting.

+ Listened to Novara Media on [[Ukraine]]. In a nutshell describing what’s currently happening as [[information warfare]], where it’s almost impossible to know what’s actually happening. Their advice: read from plenty of disparate sources. And that it’s probably more fruitful to familiarise with history, reasons for current grievances, etc. than try to follow current events. Adam Tooze has good blo g on this, they say. https://adamtooze.com
