😂 🔗 Letting ‘Marketing’ have a ‘seat at the table’
Truth in humor from Tom.
🔗Over on Substack this morning, somebody had taken it upon themselves to ‘correct’ a writer’s English.
Tip: realized not “realised”. I’ll surprised that you got that passed spell …
Just a BIG shout out to @vladcampos for 🔗 📼 this video which talks you through how to rearrange the categories on the archive page of your MicroBlog.
GREAT JOB SIR - most excellent. Really really clear - and it worked first time.
AND of course - big shout out to @otaviocc for the new page.
I did it and it did exactly what it said on the tin.
Sadly it still isn’t quite right - i think mainly because Vlad is using Tiny Theme and I am using Hitchens and I am guessing some kind of styling conflict kicked in and it threw out the rest of my page (like Vlad I am not a developer), but no big deal, we just rolled back and maybe not at 11:32 pm I will look at the coe and se if I can parse what should be changed.
Vlad - one additional thing - rather than saving the name of a page and creating a new one - you can in fact click on the original page and when you save it - it automatically creates the edited page in the block at the top - that will save a few nano seconds.
Anyway - over and out - GREAT job. Thank you.
In case you hadn’t realized - I have been doing some backlog clearing over the weekend, this is one of those catchups. Links from the wild - collected and - not quite curated.
Still there might be …
🔗 📼 This an 11 year old Ted Talk featuring Pablo Holman - demonstrating hacks on the stage. ELEVEN years ago .. so what 2013?
It includes a shout out to Kim Cameron who Pablo called The Chief Privacy Architect at Microsoft, which indeed at one time he was - though Kim retired from Microsoft May, 2011, the shout being an announcement that his hacks allowed him to track KIm as he moved through a conference - and … well, I will let you watch the video.
Imagine what is possible today. And you wonder why we have problems.
Kim of course is the author of The Seven Laws of Identity, that I have had the occasion to refer to on this very blog and it is unclear if Pablo’s call out of what he achieved in tracking Kim had any connection to Kim’s retirement - and to be sure I am not suggesting that at all, and to my knowledge nothing suggests that this was the case.
Fast Forward to last year and here he is again with another Ted Talk ‘Nuclear Reactors Can Solve Inequality’. 🤯
Both Talks were just absolutely inspiring
So imagine my delight to discover this one …. where he is talking at Charlie Muirhead’s CogX last year. I haven’t watched it yet - saved for tonight, but I sure am looking forward to it.

Netflix. Dubbed. Caper. Not much more to say, except I did watch it all the way through.
Crooks on 🔗 Reelgood
It has been brought to my attention that assumptions have been made - and - call me a stickler - that pisses me off.

I have a fundamental objection to Uber. (You might have heard.)
Which is why down here in New Zealand, when one of those kind of pickups is needed I use Ola.

I read something this past week about ‘feeds and posts’ - and I know ‘we’ do all know that the difference is there - but ‘we’ are also aware that it is not always understood … I think maybe @SimonWoods mentioned it recently? Anyway - I was about to reply with something I considered to be an excellent riposte and then stopped and deleted. My 🔗 ‘riposte’ was a reply - not a repost - and wondering if the meaning of the original use of the word that has been subsumed by modernity and partly explains the confusion?
