Another Open Collective contributor just now. Thank you Eberhard!

There isn’t a Mastodon account for TW yet, although it will likely be on the Fosstodon server.

The Twitter account auto-posts a few things, including end of month summaries twitter.com/TiddlyWiki/status/

For all three, I’d be using a flow in order to publish.

This means doing a Git check-in and push in order to publish, which means no publishing from mobile.

I’m thinking , with its mobile app, is best suited for what I want: management of everything from notes pages to blog posts.

For all of these, I might revive my setup using [[IndieKit]] getindiekit.com/ to make for easy live posting / publishing on mobile.

The reason I went this route before is because of the availability of mobile clients.

Given the growth of , getting an AP compatible login could mean re-use of all the great AP mobile clients.

I now have three simultaneous conversions of my custom second brain / blog / archive.

(experimenting in parallel with git branches)

1) - I can pour all the markdown in easily. The workflow of static publishing I’m just getting done & automated.

2) - static publishing currently uses hash routing which won’t index well.

3) - brand new, I don’t like the split between tags and backlinks. Opinionated on file naming.

I did some more tinkering with last night.

You can run it locally, so I had it on my desktop and then editing it from my phone in the living room.

This could be combined with @tailscale to just keep it running and be able to access from anywhere.

Formatting is a little wonky on mobile, and nowhere near as interesting as my current home page bmannconsulting.com

I found @harper’s reading list and started Central Station by Lavie Tidhar

It’s lovely writing so far. A far future set in Tel Aviv. And there’s a character named Boris, which is not very common. reading.lol/books/central-stat

Content warning: Food - #cooking prawns 🦐


Final . Yes that’s a lot of prawns to shell and eat, with a pile of pappardelle underneath.

Guten Appetit!

Added the prawns to the pan and some capers.

I would like triple the amount of capers but Rachael is not as much of a fan as I am.

Adding in sliced orange and yellow bell peppers.

I’m not totally sure what else I’m going to do with this. It needs to be at least a little saucy, but don’t want to overpower the prawns.

I’ll add some pasta water and capers to finish I think.

Sautéing a big onion (sliced - you can see my shoddy knife work!) and a lemongrass stalk in butter and olive oil. Added some salt and a goodly amount of fresh cracked pepper.

Doing this on high heat for a bit to get some browning, then adding 2 cloves of sliced garlic and turning it down.

One of the things I splurged on in using up my community supported fishery share was frozen spot prawn tails.

This is going to be a thread.

Content warning: Food - Donuts 🍩


Brought some donuts home. One on the left is pink peppercorn chai mochi donut (Rachael’s pick) and right is chocolate glaze + sprinkles on a cruller donut.

I _really_ don’t like the texture / flavour of mochi, the cruller was great!

Went to Their There, a little cafe with coffee, donuts, and breakfast sandwiches on West 4th. They have a few ceramics & other neat things for sale, plus screens showing peaceful waves. theirthere.ca

Content warning: Food - Broth for Mussels


One of the things I got from was fresh mussels.

Here’s the base of bacon, garlic, shallots, and lemon grass, all sautéed in butter.

Next I added celery salt, chili flakes, and black pepper, plus a couple of cups of water, and boiled the mussels in the broth.

So good I drank much of the broth.

Many many more things to tinker with in there, but I’m glad I can now have a properly permalinked version of my long running food / stores / ingredients / recipes / travel journal published.

A , but for food shopping!

Anyone else seen examples of this sort of food / recipe focused interlinked site? I’d love to find more and see other approaches.

OK! With a bunch of help from Saq, I got my automated static site publishing with up and running.
