My day job is in training for an airline. I also develop Indieweb WordPress plugins so that others can take control of their online identity.
Standing at JFK Terminal 5, Sam Cooke’s A Change is Gonna Come is on the PA. I wonder why they didn’t do an airline themed cover…A Change Fee is gonna come.
Webmention for WordPress 5.0 Released
On Tuesday, Matthias Pfefferle and I released Webmention for WordPress version 5. We started this project at the start of the pandemic…and it took a bit longer than we expected. It merges in the old Semantic Linkbacks plugin, rewrites large sections of code, and creates a better experience.
However, we have already received some feedback and are working on incorporating it into version 5.1…which won’t take 3 years to release. The goal is to fix some reported bugs, address some of the feedback, and more.
So, please, if you haven’t upgraded…do so, and give us feedback via Github.
We’re coming close to releasing Version 5.0 of Webmentions for WordPress. This is the culmination of a long process of rewriting(and a few long periods of not) the entire plugin. There are a lot of low level improvements that will set the stage for more in the future. Entirely new parsing code, rewritten display code, new storage. The reason it has been so long is the migration of data to the new storage. There is more for future, but that will occur after this version is released.
I’ve been updating my servers to slightly less old and slow ones. It started with just one…but it seems like there is a knockon effect as now I want to get rid of all the bottlenecks I have.
I had stopped watching the Daily Show regularly and only looked at clips…but I’ve been tuning in on and off to see if any of the hosts are people I’d want to watch regularly. I have been surprised who I liked, disliked, and for what reason.
Enjoying the overture for NYGASP’s staging of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers. Never seen this. Love that they’ve started airing these a few months after the live performance.
