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.
A sit down duet (macchiato with leftover half espresso shot on the side) at @revolver_coffee with a delicious kouignette.
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!

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.

Feeling locked in by open source
Ton wrote a post about his usage of the Post Kinds plugin for WordPress and used the word “lock in”. I understand what h...Nanaimo day trip: breakfast at Gabriel’s, Neck Point Park, Chris & Erin at White Rabbit Coffee.
Many other places visited, picnics consumed, & parks hung out in, on a long, hot day. Next time, need to include an ocean swim!
Heading to Nanaimo for a day trip. Looking back up Howe Sound as the sun rises.
I tried out the Franklin Food Lab in my #EastVan neighbourhood this week: frozen ramen!
I bought two & had the spicy tonkatsu for lunch, the yuzu shio in my freezer for another time. Very tasty, looking forward to trying all the flavours!
Went to the Imperfect Offerings show at the RAG yesterday.
I was blown away by Naoko Fukumaru’s work, where she does kintsugi on & with a variety of objects & materals: urchins, gilded blackberry spines, & barnacles.
Making CRDTs faster, by @JosephGentle:
“I want Google Docs without Google…I think [CRDTs are] the future of collaborative editing. And maybe the future of all software - but I’m not ready to talk about that yet.”
First time back dining in at Dosanko Restaurant after almost 2 years. House made tsukemono (pickles) — including local fiddleheads. To finish, their own 3 year old umeboshi (plum wine).
“more than other networked software, tools for thought want to be owned. I don’t want to store my second brain on someone else’s computer.“
Tonight is our third swim in the city pool at New Brighton Park. You need to book a 1.5 hour slot, so this picture is as the previous time slot clears out.
With the Port of Vancouver Pacific Elevators behind it.
Stopped in at the new Nemesis next to Emily Carr. Incredibly gorgeous building, filled with delicious coffee & pastries & a bit of brunch.
Miso Pork was the “sausage of the day” at Oyama today.
Kaisereck on Granville Island now has a patio.
Currywurst, Schnitzel plates, and German wheat beer. The fries are excellent!
And it’s @rtanglao’s birthday!
