post A short post on why I will not be writing a long post about Ofcom’s Online Safety Act consultation
The late and desperately missed Hilary Mantel’s masterwork, her Wolf Hall trilogy, is 1,888 pages long. I savoured every moment I spent in that world, and grieved each time I was pulled out of it. Her chronicle of the politics of the Tudor court ends, for Thomas Cromwell, as his …

post from The Chicken-Egg Problem of Movie Microformats
In the recent IndieWeb event (I think it was the Black Friday Create Day, but I am not 100% sure if it was), there was a discussion about the microformats. We then continued this conversation somehow in the next London Homebrew club.
