Tantek Çelik I ignored city, as it’s so often used that I see it as synonymous for town/village (a shorter version of “settlement” perhaps), but the high school/university ones got on my nerves. Ended up ignoring high school (what even is that) and put Totnes School of Guitarmaking for “university”

Tom Morris tigerchops twitter is just temporary infrastructure for social BC ;) #indieweb

cgcardona this reply is written from one :) But generally I only use them as bookmarks, not “apps”

sophiedennis that’s the plan! I’ll try to gen up on #electronics skills whilst in #iceland so I can get it going when back at home

@john_nye @andycayenne always a permanent marker/thick felt tip for me. Scan, build digitally, print out, scribble, scan, repeat :) Same as how I #design instruments.

sophiedennis your project sounds a bit like my gurdies! I’ve been nearly there for days. Got the Keyboxes glued on today, so almost finished now.

I’m trying to grow up but it’s hard past a certain age

Ha, love it Aral Balkan :)

fraying I don't have a pet currently but I love what you're doing with cute fight — the logos in particular are perfect

sophiedennis Laura Kalbag that’d be brilliant! We really need more designers/UX people helping out. Perhaps discuss it further at #digpen?

sophiedennis one of the interesting things about #indiewebcamp is that there’s almost no discussion about privacy or security. It’s completely focused on sharing, content ownership and lowering the barrier to entry.

Laura Kalbag also, things like Aral Balkan’s great wordpress export tools make it especially easy to migrate to self-hosted indieweb — hosted w/ own domain name redirect is the achievable first step.

.Laura Kalbag “on your own space” is important but not a prerequisite of #indieweb (IMO at least). The domain name is the most important thing, so starting with hosted wordpress.com or tumblr or even just redirecting to it is valid and an easy first step.

I’d encourage you to check out the Getting Started Guide — feedback/edits gratefully accepted, it’s important to me that the guide is as helpful and clear as it can be.

Laura Kalbag would you agree that wordpress.com (and to a lesser extent, other wordpress services) is non-techie-friendly? It supports most of the infrastructure we’re using on our #indieweb sites (e.g. pubsubhubbub, pingback, microformats) and provided you hook up your own domain name is an equally valid way of owning your content/identity online as rolling your own.

Laura Kalbag no, no, no, the #indieweb web is the future :) Not any one silo.

Nick Charlton woah. that is insane.

cgcardona love those old moon–bases :) #lego

@andycayenne @samsweeny123 right at this very moment :) Just drilled and glued all the keys for the two maple 7 string sopranos I’m working on at the mo. If you're interested, drop me an email: barnaby@waterpigs.co.uk

Brennan Novak reminds me of a lovely book I saw called Folds for Designers — filled not even with origami but just folded paper. Beautiful shapes!

branch that’s great to hear, but it’s not my primary concern and not the reason I don’t want to use branch. My concern is that I don’t really want to be hosting my thoughts and/or identity in a place I don’t control.

Most of the time I would post the content here and duplicate it on the 3rd party site, linking back. In this specific case, being asked to log in with twitter purely for the privilege of asking to be part of a conversation was off-putting enough for me not to bother.

Chris Messina tbh I prefer to have actual discussions with people over IRC or hangout or other such medium, and use my website as a destination for solidified results of those discussions, and a broadcast medium to include others too. So I'd love to hear your comments on stuff I’ve said, perhaps in #indiewebcamp on freenode? :)
