🔗 WWW
There are a lot of links out to different parts of the web on this site. I try to mark them all so they get listed here.
🔗 Paragraphica by Bjørn Karmann
Interesting project coming out of Denmark.
🔗 Annual profit: $750 million … I wonder how much CNN would be sold for? My guess? Waaaaaay less than ‘a Twitter’.
Search versus Search
For the longest time I have had the wonderful plugin 🔗 ’Search Space’ by @sod running on my site. It is truly fantastic - use it all the time to find post I know I have written in the past - that I want to link to - like here .. imagine how long that would have taken to build without a powerful search.
I also use Hitchens by @pimoore for my site, and Pete rather conveniently included ‘Search’ as part of his template. Not sure what he is doing behind the scenes to make that work - but like all of Hitchens - it just worked out of the box.
But … BUT … ever since installing @sod ’s plugin, having two searches has annoyed me, but I lived with it. Although I knew how to hide the built in search in CSS, I did NOT know how to identify the element that needed hiding, Until NOW.
Thanks to Jason I can now find and identify the elements I need to drop into the CSS. (Again, I new all about ‘Inspect’, but for whatever reason I had a mental block when it came to finding the specifics.)
No longer - and as a result, I now have only 1 🖇️ Search on my site.
No idea if @sod is reading this - maybe I will ping him separately - and find out if he is working on an update - because I do have a few ideas.
🔗Manton Reece - App.net archive migrated
I know Manton isn’t going to do it … but surely this is plug-in potential?
- Install plug in.
- Upload json file you just downloaded from Manton’s archive.
- Create page to display
Simple … no?

🔗 8. Identity Paradigms - by Dr Alan Mayo - Identity 2.5
Kiwi friend Alan Mayo is up to his 8th newsletter as he explores where we are with the challenge of ‘identity’.
‘Identity’ mind you, not just ‘online identity’.
What does this all mean? Well, technology matters and technology is undecided: the performance of Identity 2 is a problem, the potential of Identity 2.5 is not well understood, and the viability of Identity 3 is uncertain.

I like 🔗 About Numeric Citizen’s Craft page … been trying to do that myself - but it quickly gets bloated.

🔗 Amazon to pay out $30.8m over alleged spying on customers.
At first glance I thought ‘typical’ - yet again the big guys essentially gets off scott free for unfettered mass surveillance.
But click on through … it’s not that at all - ‘just’ a rogue employee.
Holy Rings Batman!
🔗 Fax machines and cash-only stores: Japan struggles to go digital.
Not just Japan.
Personal story; I needed to go see a doctor here in California for a routine check up. Last three years of history is actually in New Zealand.
Please have your doctors in New Zealand fax all your records to this number.
Fax? Much easier to send in email.
According to the assistant - no that isnt acceptable, because email is ‘known to not be secure’.
I don’t disagree - but asked her how secure she felt Faxing was?
