Ahhh this is going to be super helpful: https://github.com/barnabywalters/php-mf-cleaner
My images posts look a little funky, so I’m going to try and fix that – and try to do it in a test-driven way.
I attended my first IndieWebCamp last weekend, in Berlin. It was a brilliant experience – great city, great venue, great organisation, and great people.
In brief, the indieweb movement is about reclaiming your identity and your data back from the corporatised web. It advocates having your own website, where you blog, microblog, post images, add check-ins, etc – and crucially, interact with others – all the things you might currently do across multiple silo’ed platforms owned by the big digital corporations, but here originating from a site under your own control.
Sunday started off with a session with DATA4CHAN.GE – ‘visualising human rights’. It was a mini data dive, looking for patterns in data provided by the Kenyan organisation CHRIPS. We used rawgraphs.io, a really cool tool for playing around with data and quickly visualising it to get a feel for it.
Last chance to make my notes from MozFest before they slip from my mind.
This was my second year attending, and it was just as great and inspiring as last time. If anything there were more talks that I was interesting in attending than last year. (Could have been the whole Decentralization track that added to that.)
Hats off to the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin to opening up their exhibition on the October Revolution for free on November 7th. (Got lucky and strolled past that day while on holiday.)
Great demos at IndieWebCamp Berlin. Loads of cool stuff made in a single day.
Trying to figure out what would be good microformats for a jam post. Running examples from indieweb.org/jam through micrometa.jkphl.is. So far, the default output from the WordPress post kinds plugin seems like the most structured.
