# # Just getting back into twtxt (learn more at https://github.com/buckket/twtxt) # previous address was http://grex.org/~tfurrows/twtxt.txt # Let me know at (echo 'gro.fds@sworruft' | rev) if you see any issues I can address # # nick = tfurrows # url = https://tfurrows.com/twtxt.txt # description = retro-techno-enthusiast, writer, lover of humanity and music, believer in things beyond # 2021-02-24T09:00:11-06:00 Moving to a new twtxt file... welcome! 2021-02-24T09:02:17-06:00 Now I just need to re-learn twtxt 2021-02-24T14:41:41-06:00 This registries thing looks interesting, but I'm still not entirely sure how to find people to follow. 2021-02-24T15:12:45-06:00 @ I'm just using a bash script for a client right now... I'm hoping I got the curl user-agent part right. 2021-02-25T06:26:34-06:00 @ the ad companies want us to lie down and accept their aggressions 2021-02-25T06:29:24-06:00 (#jlla3ja) <-- where did that tag come from? 2021-02-25T06:30:22-06:00 (#jlla3ja) at present, my plan is to scan through my weblog and see if I see anyone I know passing over their user-agent. Then, keeping a look out on gopher for twtxt folks, and perhaps mentioning it here and there. 2021-02-25T06:34:46-06:00 So, the 140 character paradigm is totally optional on here, right? 2021-02-25T06:35:40-06:00 It's tempting to talk a lot about twtxt as a technology, versus using the technology to talk about life. 2021-02-25T06:45:10-06:00 Discovered a user via my web logs, added them to my feed list. Easy enough. 2021-02-25T06:46:54-06:00 All the extra stuff people put in their twtxt files... is there a standard for that? I don't see anything in the spec about notes, but I like what people are doing. 2021-02-25T06:49:03-06:00 'longer status updates are technically possible but discouraged' ... usually when I see 'discouraged' in the context of rules, I view it as an invitation to do whatever I want. I appreciate that the guidance is there, and accept that clients can certainly do what they want, but short form restrictions irritate me, so I'm glad it's only 'discouraged'! 2021-02-25T06:50:00-06:00 also, does 140 characters count all the chars used when you @ someone? 2021-02-25T09:26:39-06:00 @ (#) thanks for the links/info. I had two questions, one about the machine-parsable stuff, and another about the metadata that people put in their twtxt files; you answered both :) 2021-02-25T09:32:05-06:00 (re: twtxt formts) I see the twt subject ext provides for human readable or a hash... that's a nice thing. 2021-02-26T09:50:18-06:00 Still searching for the meaning of social media. I prefer BBSes, to be honest. And letters. And email. 2021-02-26T09:51:32-06:00 I have yet to figure out a solid way to make twtxt a two-way communication method. Probably because I'm recalcitrant. 2021-03-02T10:08:10-06:00 Just had a tornado drill, the kind with cell phone warnings. Always interesting. 2021-03-02T10:09:06-06:00 I have a script for writing twtxt and a script for reading a few folks that are in my space. What remains is to find a great way to reach out to other folks not in my space. I guess I could start with the folks that I see referenced. 2021-03-04T08:36:21-06:00 Day two of deep-cleaning (full disassembly) of a 1989 mechanical keyboard. 2021-03-07T13:18:52-06:00 Been a long while since I've worked hard on a focused, long-term topic of study. It's too easy to get info, and it makes me tend toward laziness. I think I will go somewhere with that thought. 2021-04-30T16:37:00-06:00 Finally doing a 6502 project, and finally learning some asm! 2021-05-24T13:46:49-04:00 Deleted my mastodon account. That took about 2 seconds, and zero hassle. What a difference over the mainline social media outlets!
