I have to work with a very restrictive tech admin policy with campus desktops and staff laptops. So it was very nice to see ObsidianMD installed its vault inside my laptop’s Document folder without any sort of IT Admin Permissions. Win! #ObsidianMD
Thinking about doubling the size of our aquarium now that the Axolotls are walking to the top of the tank.
End of the Trump Crazy Train
I’m an American voting from Ireland via paper ballot. I enjoy watching elections. It looks like good Republicans today can blame Donald Trump for pushing wacky candidates and for using his jumbotrons to promote his own presidential asperations. Trump’s self-indulgent rallies don’t …
I need to find how to link from either my MB account or from my mastodon account to my ORCID ID. Doing that would improve reference longevity.
When ActivityPub marries RSS
Anyway, when ActivityPub and RSS merge we will have a fantastic social network along with the news reader of the world, as an open system that the Bigs will never break. We will have the online system we’ve been waiting for. Now we just have to do everything right. 😄 Dave Winer …

Looking at using Mentimeter live word clouds at the next ictedu event with @ictedu@mastodon.ie
