Wondering if @manton / @sod / others in this fine community are thinking about 🔗 Terry Godier’s Byline - which I am liking the look of. A lot.

🔗 The Byline Site for the full 411.

🔗 Terry Godier’s Byline

my take on extending RSS (and Atom/JSON Feed) in a way that helps provide more context about who writes a thing, and what that thing might be.

💬 Terry Godier

It looks like being fully hosted on Micro Blog introduces limitations - but that I can also bypass - BUT before I do that - any plans to jump on board any time soon?

🔗 Several people write posts on Sourcefeed saying “I have no idea if anyone reads this” - which I consider to be a feature not a bug."

I can happily report though, that every public feed has at least 75 subscribers. So, for now, yes, someone is probably reading that :)

💬 Terry Godier

So this mini blog has at least 75 subscribers? Or Terry’s ‘all feeds’ RSS has 75 subscribers? There is a difference.

➡️ Originating at SourceFeed ... part of 'canonical john' ... for now.

I have no idea how I missed this - futzing with my sound set up last night and Siri suddenly started playing ‘Trafalgar Square’ that I had to Shazam to find out what it was. Then listened to the album once and here we are. Great album. Always nice to discover a ‘new’ artist.

It’s very nice to not be working on CSS. I hate CSS. I now have a slave that does the CSS for me.

So do I, but there’s a problem with slaves …

  • can they really be trusted.
  • they don’t feel the passion.
  • they don’t feel the problem.
  • hell - they don’t even understand the problem.

Jack London used to buy story ideas from the young Sinclair Lewis. He blamed his “damnable lack of origination”: “I’m damned if my stories just come to me,” he wrote. “I had to work like the devil for the themes.”

expression, you see — with me — is far easier than invention.
