Ricardo is talking about RSC, ‘Really Simple Conversation’, a twist on RSS that started with @Dave who is ‘still diggin’ and others like Ricardo @andysylvester @manton and @johnjohnston who are all forking, expanding and twisting some new worlds.
Those of us living in section ‘4635.0063.2384.0006’ of the internet are very happy..
The original philosophy that Dave espouses will be another post that I will push later. Because as he oft’ reminds .. it is all connected.
Colbert coined ‘truthy’ / and the development into truthiness
I am claiming ‘floatiness’ as an instruction to get sections on a web site to get visually lifted ‘off the page background’.
I am liking where 🔗 this is going - thanks for the post @AndySylvester - big fan of a UI that better fits me.
💬 This one is especially for you @devilgate .. does this work for your needs? I should be doing this more anyway.
Connecting dots … and hopefully servers … let’s see.
Me 5 days ago …
At the end of June the orange clown announced that
he had been asked to present the World Cup trophy to the winning team - and said that he would be honoured to do so
Earlier this month, the same clown announced that he
Didn’t want to do any trade with them (Ed-Spain), alright?” and then, “Take it immediately. Don’t even talk to them. They’re hopeless. They’re bad people … They make so much money with us, and we’re going to see that they make a lot less.”
Guess Who I’m Rooting for on the 19th?
Off to find some news.
🎥 Watched 🔗 Death on the Nile ( ★★★ ) over the weekend. Hadn’t I watched it before? Yes of course - but not this one. Another one. I know you know the story - it’s nearly 100 years old so of course you do - just interesting to see the ensemble cast in a murder mystery based on a book written by the inventor of the ensemble cast in a murder mystery - all the way down to the end scene where what ever is left of the cast are stood in a room with the worlds greatest detective reveals the dastardly culprit.
You’ve seen the scene so many times - mainly in films and shows that are NOT Ms. Christie stories.
The TORYGraph today, writing about Andy’s first day in the hot seat …
He will want to appoint his Cabinet, but must also be ready to break off if Donald Trump rings.
“be ready to break off if … ?
I know nothing - but if I was Andy I would not be distracted if an Orange Clown called me about anything. In particular this one.
🎥 I watched 🔗 Rumble in the Bronx years ago and just watched it again last night - ★★★ - not for the acting - can I give negative stars❓ But absolutely for Jackie Chan’s fight choreography - amazing.
👁️ I am no historian … and definitely not in the ⚽️ category .. but other than Hungary beating El Savalador 10-1 in the 80s you have to go back to the 50s for a World Cup score with a total of double digit goals.

👁️ A bumper crop of Readwise highlights this morning. Stand by.
🖋️ ‘Content Category’ is an Oxymoron.
Regular readers will recognise this theme. Reminding again as I read 🔗 Joan Westenberg this morning.
👁️ Watching - and wondering - how the anticipated Andy move on Monday re Digital ID will go. I’m feeling ‘well’ for most people.
📺 Finished watching: 🔗 Unfamiliar Season 1: ★★★ for the second time last night. Not that it particulalrly deserved a second viewing - but clearly it didn’t not! First time just me, This time Jax wanted to watch and I had no objection. Not a bad story at all.
