I guess it’s tepache season again
Easter on Bowen, continuing to help my parents move and settle in.
Forest walk with first bright pink salmon berry blossoms, mossy trees, and the reflective water at the bridge by the Meadow.
I know, I know it’s the middle of the night.
But I had a ton of fun making a shopping list with @TiddlyWiki.
Thinking about migrating @ATBRecipes into this.
Thanks to marxsal for creating Tiddly Groceries!
I gave a talk back in Oct 2019 about #opensource licensing evolution.
A good time to reflect about what you want from your software and your licenses.
I have a Ghost Pro-powered links / newsletter / subscription thing now. I wrote a first post, and it has a couple of interesting links. Never mind about the monkey.
Yesterday was spent on the North Shore. @rachaelashe has work in the art for kids show at Seymour Gallery in Deep Cove.
Then walked the Spirit Trail along the waterfront east to Cap Mall. A bit of sun sparkle & the view over to downtown Vancouver & port.
It’s a rainy cold day, but the cherry blossoms are coming out.
Spent a couple of hours this morning inside, taking a course from Eikcam Ceramics. I made a bento box and side dishes.
A walk to Prototype Coffee. They sell colourful potions & waffles, plus have a mirrored moss portal at their entrance.
North: up Howe Sound towards Squamish
South: Passage Island, out of Howe Sound, across Burrard Inlet, UBC in the distance
West: Bowen Island, Snug Cove and Deep Bay, a short 20 minute ferry ride.
Very interested in @resonatecoop’s work around Verifiable Credentials.
VCs are a DID linked “proof”, and they have a demo including a Discourse plugin to grant access to a private group. Image from technical overview flyer.
Detail of @timbertrain Depot hand made coffe cups, and crocuses blooming in the park. Sunshine time ☀️
My local park was gloriously sun-drenched today. The sun was warm on my face and my skin was just drinking it in.
I sat on a bench & ate some lunch, and walked some laps listening to music after 5 hours of calls.
Round two in the evening, with an energizing talk. Thanks Elty.
Went for a walk along the Fraser and ended up over at the River District.
We biked there to see the murals as they were being painted way back in August.

After getting @mamrotynka to go to Pacific Bread Company, we went to for a walk today and stopped at the yarn store and the Polish deli, Polonia.
I was surprised to see QR codes in the latest edition of Cook’s Illustrated.
It works pretty well, where this Armenian Vospov kofte recipe leads to a video of how to make it.
The Pacific Bread Company has a delicious selection of pastries as always, and that’s without taking a picture of the other case filled with cakes and colourful macaroons.
A walk around the neighbourhood after too much time indoors. It was a nice evening, I got to pet a dog, and the sunset light was lovely.
Autonomic is a tech co-op that just announced “Co-Op Cloud”:
“using existing open standards to build a catalogue of apps, & a CLI client to read the catalogue and deploy those apps”
Co-op Cloud docs cloud.autonomic.zone
The rain and cloud have moved in today on Bowen.
Plus, an incredible selection of fresh pastries & sandwiches at Artisan Eats.
Robin Rendle, Inheritance, on the longevity (or not) of the web:
“the web forgets everything because you’re just renting space…In sixty years will my grandchildren read my blog?”
This is part of why I’m interested in IPFS.
View from Artisan Suites on Bowen Island. We’re helping my parents partially move into their new place this weekend.
I’m very happy to have my #secondbrain notes site auto-building and publishing to @fissioncodes with GitHub Actions.
I also have IndieKit running so I can post from my phone over Micropub to a git commit. Longer write up soon ;)
Here’s a few photos from @bloedelconserv.
You book a 45min slot to wander among the plants & birds & warm air. It didn’t hurt that the sun was out & shining through the dome as well.
A picture of me in the lobby of our apartment.
It’s my birthday today. We’ll visit the Bloedel Conservatory for some nice warmth, jungle plants, & bird life as an antidote to the gray Vancouver winter.
Are you annoyed by #opensource Contributor License Agreements (CLA) assigned to a single corporation?
@kemitchell made a form of XLC that lets contributors pool and manage relicensing without a central entity: Cross License Foundations
