I Wonder If There Is A Fix For This?
If I share an article to Drafts from NetNewswire, something like this appears in my draft

If I first open the item in the browser … the full info, created in Markdown appears in my draft, like this.
Nelson Mandela’s paintings from prison to be sold as NFTs – Web3 Is Going Just Great
Anyone know if I can get the full Markdown direct from the feed rather than needing to go to the browser first?

The cranes in the port of Oakland, CA inspired George Lucas to create a certain ‘machines found in Star Wars … these ones are in Auckland.
Only one berth had a ship in place.
When people talk about supply chain constraints in New Zealand .. they mean no ships and no containers.
“The only way to solve this is by creating new systems that start by equipping customers with their own standardized ways to interact with any service function on the sellers' side, at scale. We actually have tools for that called phones and browsers, but we need to advance on both.”
“Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.”

Two interesting viewpoints to what is going on with how we have handles - are handling Ukraine.

Both well worth a read.
“My notes always grow longer if I shorten them. I mean the process of compression makes them more pregnant and they breed new notes.”
Revisiting Oracle
In another life I worked for Oracle in the UK and thence onto the US. When I first met my boss to be, the UK offices were in Richmond. By the time I had joined, they had moved to Chertsey. Within a couple of years we had moved to Bracknell and around year 6 (by which time I was in San Francisco), Reading became their home.
Trying to find some picture of the buildings for a different reason and came across this.
Just a couple of examples. Click through for the mess that it was.
How sad.
The Cherstey offices were always my favorites and home to good friends and good people working on so many things including Oracle’s FIRST applications - delivered through C.A.S.E. Who knew it had fallen into such disrepair? The photos seem to date back to 2015 … but looks like they are no more - and an elderly care home is now there. I wonder if there any residents today that worked in those office back then?
It was long enough ago.
Question for the Micro Blog cognescenti …
Am I right in thinking that a book can only be on one shelf - and just one shelf?
Example, if I read The Jobs Biography, then it sits on the ‘Read’ shelf which means it can’t also be on a second shelf that’s called (say) Biography?
I finally got some of my shirts onto hangers.
Seriously?
None of you fit?

“known informally as a pterodactyl”
Today I learned that pterodactyl is not the official name for a pterodactyl.
My only question is why would you have a common name that is just as hard to spell and pronounce than the official name.
In this case that is a pterosaur.
“Argy Bargey” is definitely an expression I know and understand, just didn’t expect a Kiwi reporter to use it in the middle of their 6pm news report.
What say you Kiwis?
Right To Work ~v~ Union Busting
This post originated as a comment in another thread, but it made me think more - again - about how language is constantly being twisted to operate against people.
I wrote
“Language is powerful - funny how we use the term ‘right to work’ state - rather than ‘union busting’ state ….
and
It’s like how we used to have data warehouses - but now we have data ‘lakes’ and ‘mountains’ that we keep in ‘farms’ - so that we can ‘harvest’ information … it’s all so wonderfully natural - and nothing to worry about …
What say you?
A single post that connects two things I am currently watching - ‘Web3isms’ and ‘Ottawa’.
It happens to be in Ottawa - but that is my shorthand for all the stuff going on around the world that is ‘Ottawa like’ … I’m looking at you Wellington!
We MUST Abandon the Language of the Market to Reclaim our Humanity
🔗 Thomas Keneally’s 2020s vision: We must abandon the language of the market to reclaim our humanity
I posted this link at the time it was published (2020).
It surfaced the other day through my DayONE - and I decided to repost it in the category 🖇️ ‘Language Is Important’- ‘Tom’ and I are on the same page.
