Developers, designers, and writers gather in Portland for the sixth annual flagship IndieWebCamp I spent this past weekend at the 6th annual IndieWebCamp in Portland, newly christened the "IndieWeb Summit" (to differentiate from other camps throughout the year in the US and Europe). IndieWebCamp is a community of developers, designers, and bloggers working to help people publish on their own websites and just generally have more control over their data. A great thing about the community is everyone tries to (and is encouraged to) be pragmatic, positive, kind, and open-minded; there is very explicitly no one right way to do things.

Publishing weather in posts
What better way to spend the first day of June, which coincidentally is my birthday, talking about the weather which here in the UK is undoubtedly the top ice-breaker to strike a conversation. For over a year now I've been publishing short posts to my website and syndicating them out to Twitter. In an ongoing attempt to offer up more of the features, information and user experience common social networks offer; I recently decided to add my own geolocation functionality into my hand-rolled CMS and from that the option to display local weather information too.
Ich vermisse ehrliche, dramatische, romantische, wahrhaftige Ernsthaftigkeit. Ich kann diese ganze zynische Kacke nicht mehr ertragen.

Bridging the IndieWeb Generation Gap
A week or two ago Kevin Marks pointed the IWC channel to a must-read talk called Inessential Weirdness in Open Source given by Sumana Harihareswa at OSCON this year. Weirdnesses are quirks of your project, community, or culture that might intimidate/discourage newcomers. Essential weirdnesses are foundational; without them, you'd be doing a different thing. Inessential weirdnesses are everything else, losing them might slow you down or make it less fun, but it wouldn't change any fundamental aspect of the project. She makes a point of saying that inessential doesn't mean unimportant or bad - your weird tools (ahem, git) help you get stuff done; jargon is useful shorthand; in-jokes are part of a group's culture.
Stünde es nicht im Grundgesetz, wäre die Aussage "Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar" heute wohl als "linksextrem" eingestuft.

Taking an online book offline
Application Cache is- as Jake so infamously described -not a good API. It was specced and shipped before developers had a chance to figure out what they really needed, and so AppCache turned out to be frustrating at best and downright dangerous in some situations. Its over-zealous caching combined with its byzantine cache invalidation ensured it was never going to become a mainstream technology. There are very few use-cases for AppCache, but I think I hit upon one of them. Six years ago, A Book Apart published HTML5 For Web Designers. A year and a half later, I put the book online.
