I did a quick walk & coffee this morning and listened to the free, short version of @rosano’s new Strolling podcast.
Now, sunny Woodland Park, paired with the member’s extended edition. Lovely to hear from Judy Perly of Free Times Cafe.
Sometimes you just need a big bowl of pasta with a ton of fresh parmesan. Tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, chilies.
Just wow: TiddlyWikiPharo is @Tiddlywiki implemented in @pharoproject & #GToolKit.

An unusual #Vancouver sight: first footsteps in deep powdery snow, plus our snowy East Van street.
Apparently it’s going to rain today & turn this into an icy mess.
New year, new routines! Cappuccino and water to start the day (with global timezones on the wall), and a picture of the hang out room at @MakeshiftSpaces, cloud cover hiding Vancouver’s north shore mountains 🏔
I’m testing the beta version of @logseq mobile.
Currently uses iCloud for sync, including a funky bug where folder creation hangs, but it does work. Congrats to the LogSeq team for another great milestone!
An afternoon snowy walk on #BowenIsland: bridge & beaver lodge, ferns, and treetop wide view.
May your nights be warm & cozy, filled with the friends, family, & food of your choosing.
Today was a gloriously sunny day in Vancouver, although when we set out there was still black ice in many places.
We did a long walk along the sea wall to Granville Island, with a pic of Science World & the public market. Insert your own visions of snow capped mountains.
When you look at MY GitHub commits and want to hire me as a “core frontend engineer”, you’ve gone horribly wrong somewhere.
I did have a nice chat with a different engineering manager & got them to try out @fissioncodes. The reverse poach!
Great meeting up with @MikeGartner for coffee. A member of the #ToolsForThoughtRocks community. Thinking about meetups - a conference? - in 2022.
Whose problem is lack of OSS funding?

A great write up on community tools & trade offs by @rosano, on his new Ghost blog.
There is no one tool to rule them all, but glad to see solid #opensource pieces available.
Whoa! My local coffee place @timbertrain moved their roasting to North Van & is going full coffee shop + in house bakery. Congrats!
Nature is healing: tourists are returning to flock around the steam clock in Gastown.
Weekend Adventure Day
Yesterday was a nice weekend adventure day with Rachael. Didn’t get up too early, had some nice bacon & eggs weekend...#BuildSoftwareTogether is a tag I’ve been using to mean that people should collaborate with developers and each other to build software … together.
And support and maintain it over time, too.
That may seem obvious but in many cases the construction of software is all by the maker, with limited input or support by people who use it.
And that in fact, the users of the software should take more responsibility as well, especially in the context of when they aren’t actually buying the software as a product.
My best suggestion on licensing is that non-commercial forms have the best trade offs: usage by those who make money with it fund the maintainers, anyone else can use it at no charge.
This article goes further to say that the corporate form of software itself is the issue:
Quirky, personal software that is aggressively unscalable & focuses on delivering human needs in human time over machine needs in machine time is nicer to write, nicer to use, and difficult for capital to subvert.
A response to:
Open-Source Needs a Reckoning, Greg Kennedy
See, the core problem with all “free” software licenses is this: they are aimed at only protecting the Product, and not the People who make or use it. The goal is to produce the best software, not the best community.

The rain has been coming down hard in Vancouver so it was nice to get a bit of sun this afternoon.
Pics are of sunny Woodland Park and a view up our street, with leaves in full colour.
Fall is here. Have you taken your vacuum cleaner for a walk yet?
I am once again astounded by the way that TiddlyWiki is a #ToolsForThought app platform.
Check out this Zettelkasten edition “tzk”, including hour long intro video / tutorial, by Soren Bjornstad.
As part of helping to launch the new @tiddlywiki forum, I looked at exporting data from Discourse into TiddlyWiki.
Woot! An offline version of your entire forum content!
A walk before dinner down to the Lagoon on #bowenisland.

Looking across Deep Bay to the mountains at the edge of Howe Sound.

Going to be on Bowen Island for the week. Working, but with a very nice change of scenery.
Went for a before dinner walk and saw this mink at the bridge by The Meadow.
