good essay about the doc web ^-^ the part about using google docs like social is funny/clever. i might need to do something with that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"I’ve been thinking of this as ‘Out of Feed’ publishing. Using a business tool for social reasons. Bypassing the noisy, crowded world of social media feeds and blog rolls for something more direct."

goodnight i am definitely going to bed early tonight and not looking at random information on the internet under my covers

reply with something u found and enjoyed on the internet this week (image, writing, website, meme, etc.)

can be something new or just new to u (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

omg i just logged on for the day and i think my homepage went viral (๑>ᴗ<๑) drop into the party on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page

squeezed in some small(ish) ellesho.me/page visual updates during a hectic week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i replaced the pop up elements on the homepage for the webring and closet with more fitting ones – a skate deck for the webring and a gunpla sprue tree for the closet. scribbled out with css and emojis (⌒_⌒;)

forums! do u still use any forums regularly? i used to visit a bunch of art, music, and other forums but not much anymore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"When I want information, like the real stuff, I go to forums [...] there is just certain information that requires the dedication of adults who have specifically signed up to be in one kind of community."

i feel like channels here are trying to reach something like this but imo wc channels are missing one crucial feature for this: chrono reply bumping as immediate visual feedback to let u know a conversation is happening within a channel cast (⌒_⌒;)

guys i think i'm finally free!!! i even turned off all my extensions and vpn to check and i still get this message ^-^

(probably just a hiccup but the nightmare is over for now at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

dave winer's blog has been running for 30 years as of today – the guardian wrote a little profile on him and reflection on the state of blogging today. i also decided to mark the occasion by making a feedland account to see what that's all about ^-^

"...most journalists failed to understand the significance of the blogosphere. [...] mainly because mainstream media was hypnotised – and blind-sided – by the vertiginous rise of social media. Journalists came to assume that the blogosphere must be old hat, a relic of the past, a meeting place for cranks, nerds and ponytailed men wearing shoes like Cornish pasties. Social media was what mattered."

"The free tutorials I followed on the internet, the open source software I read, the open source software I used, tech news, resources like w3schools, random tech blogs, all formed the backbone of my education."

a good story about the open internet. even tho things weren't as convenient back then and u couldn't get immediate answers from a chat ai, there was something nice and fun about parsing through other human contributions yourself ^-^

just another day in the screaming box (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

quick note about /vip membership – if you're not a member but u regularly put interesting things in this recurring friday ritual, u will probably get an invite to join so that your replies gets bumped above the fold for everyone else to see ^-^

the new warpcast channel changes are in! it auto-imported 148 members to /vip – which is a lot more than i thought it would be (⌒_⌒;) so i think it should more than cover all the regulars. maybe there needs to be some trimming

if it missed u and u were able to cast in the main channel before, lmk. there might be little things to iron out over the next week or so

i just made a quick banner for the new banner space (◕‿◕)♡

i didn't get much done this week bc of life (╥_╥) but i made a little 88x31 badge for my homepage after being inspired by the eightyeightthirty.one project i posted the other day. the design of the button takes style cues from the original netscape now 88x31 button ^-^ full blog post here: https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#linking

an interesting wip webkit based browser that's not only about browsing but publishing as well ^-^

"Oku is a browser with an emphasis on local-first data storage.
It comes with a unique peer-to-peer protocol that enables:

Creating & publishing sites
Sharing files directly with friends
Storing personal data on the devices you control
Synchronising files between your devices"

me irl today

(my internet service broke)

"What we hardly talk about is how we’ve reorganized not just industrial activity but any activity to be capturable by computer, a radical expansion of what can be mined [...] If we’re not being tallied, we affect the tally of others. We are all data workers."

this essay wonders how can we take back our online time for ourselves when existing online these days is being reduced more and more to numbers and stats. can we still play on the internet? this is also what i'd like to find out https://thewalrus.ca/collapse-of-self-worth-in-the-digital-age/

some good tips for a more thoughtful internet

"It's no use to complain when many of the tools we need to have an more thoughtful internet are out there and waiting for us."

having a clay figure of myself at the internet archive would fix me ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀

new update on my homepage for those following along ^-^

this week was mainly just making details more playful. i did some bts rewrites to the layout and cleaned up some more of the js. added some css animations for the popups so they bounce now when opening and closing. also thinking about some subtle sound design so i made the popups play a random note when u open them now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

read more about it on my blog https://ellesho.me/page/website/now/#fun-details (it's a bit of a depressing one this week)

out of my way i got tcp packets to deliver
