Inspired by the many blog sites out there that display a series of icons linking to the site author's other sites and social media profiles, I set out to add the same to my site.

tl;dr : For my use-case, using WebFonts for the icons made more sense than trying to use the SVG files directly.

@chris As someone who only recently found keybase and thought the idea of cryptographic proofs for tying social media identities together was a cool one, I'm curious why you've decided to delete your account there.

Are they secretly evil, and I haven't discovered it yet?

@chris
I'm jealous of the green!

We have about two feet of snow on the ground here. . .

Apparently, LinkedIn doesn't actually support rel="me" links back to ones personal website(s).

How very disappointing. 😞

#IndieWeb #LinkedIn

With the update of the site to use my new (work-in-progress) theme with #IndieWeb support, I have now completed both Level 1 checkpoints from IndieWebify.Me:

- Get your own domain name
- Set up Web Sign In

@lunduke @purism Family is definitely more important than fancy titles. Keep up the good Dad Work!

@chris @chris_herd I'm definitely in the "I actually work better at the office than I do at home camp", but I am also glad that more and more people are starting to have the option to choose.

I just pushed up tag v0.1.5 of my Basic Hugo Theme.

https://kevin.thecorams.net/2019/11/basic-hugo-theme-v0.1.5-released/

This is the first version that I'm semi-officially announcing. I think it has all of the building blocks that I intended to use in a very basic theme, and the theme documentation is more-or-less complete.

I suppose I should go ahead and call it version 1.0, but I'll wait to see if any more flaws in it shake out from using it as the theme for my Personal Siite.

I think I need to rename my recently launched website. @torproject already uses the tag line of "Take back the internet", so it doesn't seem right for me to use the same one.

I'm not trying to take back the whole internet, anyway. Just my little #IndieWeb #POSSE corner of it.

@sir As a long time book reader, I am so used to black type on a white background that Dark Mode just seem strange. I am trying to get used to it, because in theory it is better for my eyes, but habits are very hard to change.

@Alamantus@cybre.space Very true! I agree with most of the discussion that happened between when I replied (only saw one other reply at that point) and when I see my comment in the message thread.

If people want to send me a whole busy/responsive website they can send me a link to it. And like the paranoid email reader that I am, I can ignore the link and/or flag it as phishing :D

@Alamantus@cybre.space Better something standard like HTML than mailing Word documents around.

Even though it does make it hard to stick with my command line tools . . .

Success! My new personal website -- https://kevin.thecorams.net -- has a verified rel="me" link to my Mastodon profile, allowing it to show up as verified in said profile.
