Man, tonight’s livestream of Sherri performing Eisley’s Room Noises brought back a lot of memories. Hard to believe that album came out 17 years ago! Time needs to stop moving so quickly, please.
If you aggregated some RSS feeds and piped the result into a Mastodon account, would that be the United Federation of Planets?
Woohoo, tickets acquired for Death Cab for Cutie / The Postal Service next October! It will be my first time at the Hollywood Bowl, too.
It was the microformats2 feed on your homepage. It still showed content, but it's formatted a bit weird, showing multiple notes in one "post". Try it in the Monocle preview: https://monocle.p3k.io/preview?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcolinwalker.blog%2F
Currently the authorship on my notes points to the homepage, so the h-card there should have the info. It's not as common a setup, but see steps 5 and 7 in https://indieweb.org/authorship-spec#Algorithm
Hello again! I recently saw some oddities in my feed reader subscription for your homepage. I visited and figured out it's at /blog now. I updated the subscription and am seeing your posts in Monocle again.
I learned via a podcast that The Pentaverate is in the same cinematic universe since that’s a conspiracy theory mentioned in So I Married an Axe Murderer!
“He’ll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow.”
Then, just like that, it’s sunny again!
Goodness, this rain. Hopefully I don’t float away.
It doesn’t take much rain to say this in San Diego, but we’ve had quite a bit yesterday and today.
What brings you to town? I just got back from a chilly night walk on that beach!
Yeah, I’ve been trying to get back into that more this last month. It’s fun and I’ve missed it!
Oh no! I hope recovery is quick and no long-term issues.

“The goal of this series is not to present music as disposable background noise to be mostly ignored or tuned out, but the complete opposite — the goal is to present music that can engulf the listener, carefully selected works that can be fully appreciated (perhaps even enhanced) despite sometimes only having peripheral attention paid to them.”
This is awesome, thanks!
I think the easiest way would be to create a separate HTML page for the updates and add microformats for note posts. Then plug that URL in to Granary (https://granary.io/?x=118&y=19&input=html#logins) and convert it to RSS. Granary will give you an RSS URL that people can subscribe to in a reader. That way you don't have to mess with RSS and XML, which can be messy. I do this for the feed of my notes: https://gregorlove.com/notes.atom redirects to the Granary magic and voila!
It is possible, but depends on what software is creating the RSS feed file. I think the “guid” element is the main part of an RSS entry that readers check to determine “is this a new post?” So, theoretically, if the software creating the RSS feed updated the guid and the published date, the content of that entry would show up again in a reader as if it were a new post. Depending on the software, it might be easier to keep a separate RSS feed where each entry is a short text and link to the resources page: “Resources page updated: [link]”
Looking forward to Homebrew Website Club tonight. Join us at 6pm Pacific if you’re interested in talking about personal websites and the independent web!
Ack I missed the Lucius concert! I had it on my calendar and everything, but my brain thought it was tonight, not December 1. Blast.
Anyway, currently listening to Second Nature.
I’m attending December 7, 2022 at 6PM Pacific.
Well that was a fun first: I gave a quick demo of a project for a client’s board meeting of about 75 people this morning. Thankfully via Zoom! I still had the same nerves, but I think I did well at speaking slowly. No questions during Q&A, so hopefully that’s good?
Debugging:
Testing if federation to Mastodon will include the details/summary HTML elements
