Hey, just a reminder or the evening crowd: I'm moving to @kistaro@dragon.style. See you there!
I’m moving my primary account to @kistaro@dragon.style - please re-follow me there if you want to keep following me.
(A bunch of people I follow here are moving to instances not federated with awoo.space)
google, negative, reminder
@lizardsquid the closest thing I know of that Google announced is a ranking penalty for anything that doesn’t use HTTPS, in an effort to make browser connections more secure on average by poking web site operators into getting a certificate and turning on encryption even if they don’t handle credit cards.
Source: I work for Google as a software engineer on Chrome, which is also part of the HTTPS-everywhere push by labeling all unencrypted websites insecure
@LexYeen this toot has been brought to you by Pax Era and the number 420
Today has been productive. I don't feel like that most weekends, so it's a nice change. I feel like I played a disappointing amount of video games today, but that's okay, there's an extra weekend day to go still. (although that one is going to involve a lot of writing. there should still be time for games though)
I have a tiny notebook full of notes on how I use tiny notebooks as a project/chaos management system! It’s notes, not a real presentation - I will be working on a web site to present this soon. So a legible version, better organized, with full explanations, will be available soon.
But for the curious: https://drive.google.com/open?id=15Bcwe-O9GFruLVh76XlR3JvFYbVxFuL0 (30MB PDF). It is self-describing, since it’s a notebook for a project to write a web site about how I write notebooks about projects!
Two days of furious scribbling have left me with a tiny notebook full of preliminary notes on how I use tiny notebooks for thinking into at work and otherwise storing ideas. Next up: follow my own directions and scan the notebook, then write the website. A PDF of the notebook itself will be available soon (before the web site is)
I think after poking around at Wix, Weebly, Sway, and Squarespace, I’m going to just use Google Sites. I just want an article in the format of a responsive website, I’m not an actual web site designer and I don’t want to be.
I have too much content to write to feel like it fits in Dreamwidth- it needs at least basic navigation and better handling of images than I can do myself with Dreamwidth’s tools.
@cons@lgbt.io I like the idea, but it’s the most effort and the least legible - I’m worried that it won’t actually make an impact that way, unless I then physically mail the notebook to Coudal Partners and persuade them to post it to fieldnotesbrand.com or something, and then I’d have to dump the section on identifying cheap but usable notebooks (to be fair, Field Notes consistently comes out as very high quality - just not cheap).
This weekend, I’m going to create a *something* on my thorough-but-not-difficult system for taking and sort-of-organizing notes (work projects, daily to-do items, thought debris) via dozens of tiny notebooks. I’d like feedback on what format the something should be in:
* formatted text with images (Dreamwidth.org)
* modern scrolling article (Microsoft Sway)
* slideshow (Google Slides)
* unconventional slideshow (please recommend a tool)
* scans of handwritten notes from a tiny notebook
@salameleon it’s almost like federation as a means of keeping a user population small enough for a group of engaged administrators to deal with is actually workable or something :D
Chameleonic dragon. Otherkin. Some kind of eclectic neo-Pagan. Sie/hir or they/them. Software engineer. Seattle-esque, WA. Expect software takes, complaints about the tech industry, board games, video games, an inexplicably obsession with paper notebooks despite my handwriting, and Weird Furry Stuff.
