If you can’t be bothered writing it, I can’t be bothered reading it. — Crooked Timber

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:33:05 +0000

I totally get the pressure to produce. Academics have been long turned into content churners. ‘Publish or perish’ in some regions and institutions meant how much could you produce in how little a time. As a postgraduate student I attended a workshop where a senior professor describes turning the same conference paper into five publications FIVE!? Who do they think was going to read all this samey shit?

Clicks have killed the Inverted Pyramid

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:29:10 +0000

Writing students once learned that putting the most important information first in an article was the preferred, humane way of reporting on a situation. This allowed readers to quickly decide if a story interested them without having to read further.

How to manage this Hugo based page from my Android phone in 2026 | foosel.net

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 19:22:04 +0000

I recently got a new phone and thus had to re-do the setup of my mobile blogging pipeline. So, basically, allow me to checkout, modify, test, commit and push the sources of this Hugo based static page under Android. While doing so I noticed some necessary changes and improvements, and also wanted to make use of my Taskfile which does most of the heavy lifting now, so here are my updated steps.

PESOS - IndieWeb

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 19:17:29 +0000

PESOS is an acronym for Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site. It's a syndication model where publishing starts by posting to a 3rd party service, then using infrastructure (e.g. feeds, Micropub, webhooks) to create an archive copy on your site.

Blogging After 8PM – Climb to the Stars

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 18:22:35 +0000

I am on my never-ending quest to squeeze more writing into my life (it’s the ugly truth – the squeezing – I know), without sacrificing anything else (I know, I know), and I’m thinking that evenings could be a good plan. The day before yesterday, I managed to eat at a decent time, and get myself ready for the night, and then have time ahead of me to write.

Rebooting The Blogosphere (Part 2: Interaction) – Climb to the Stars

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:02:00 +0000

So, let’s sum up today: interaction is not a monolith. Online conversations occur at varying speeds and are made up of contributions of varying nature. Reclaiming and rebooting the blogosphere and the open web needs to take that into account and embrace it, and figure out how to bring it together in an open way, with frameworks, standards, protocols or the like, not yet another “One Platform to Replace Them All”.

Rebooting The Blogosphere (Part 1: Activities) – Climb to the Stars

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:01:24 +0000

Some thoughts (part 1 of 3) following exchanges on Bluesky with Dave, amongst others. My Facebook exile is clearly bringing to a boil my preoccupation with our reliance on big capitalist platforms for our online presence and social life. Though I never “stopped blogging”, I clearly poured a lot more energy over the last decade into what I now think of as “The Socials” (Twitter, Facebook, Bluesky, Mastodon and the like).

Who Will See My Comment? – Climb to the Stars

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 19:00:40 +0000

Bluesky, Mastodon and Twitter (yeah, and Threads) feel more fragmented. It’s more difficult to follow for lots of people. They are faced with bits and pieces of conversations flying about, and access to the context of those is not frictionless. Part of this, I think, has to do with how publication audience is managed (I’ll definitely have to do a “part 4” about this in my Rebooting the Blogosphere series). And another, of course, is the primacy of non-reciprocal connections on those platforms.

How I write my blogs in Obsidian and publish instantly | Gautham Shankar

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 22:53:56 +0000

This setup takes a bit of initial work, but the payoff is enormous. Once it’s all set up, this workflow fades into the background - I just write, commit, and publish. No friction, no fees, and everything stays in my hands. If you’re looking for a lightweight, sustainable way to blog, this might be worth trying.
