Variety.com: The 100 Greatest TV Shows of all Time - I have definitely watched a lot of these shows, and just finished a binge watch of "Six Feet Under" on Netflix (HBO show from 2001-2005) - it was excellent!

For my two active users (Ron and Andre), I have finished making updates to my MyStatusTool site to allow editing of previous posts - I will reach out to you to see when you would like to try this upgrade.

Was able to get the text of a previous post into the MyStatusTool editor window, but had tags appear in the post. Did some experimenting, then I could not decode the HTML entities - frustrating! (Did an edit on the imported text, removed tags, added link manually.

Made a change to MyStatusTool to read the user posts in the Admin interface instead of the full set of user and subscribe posts. Next will be to use the edit button to copy the individual post text to the editor window....

TheCurbShop.com: Poster of "Save The Manuals" - this is a collection of manual shift patterns for cars, I saw this on a t-shirt recently, my first thought was that "manuals" referred to computer software manual - hah!

I did some more checking, and my instance is still not updating the subscribed feeds, so I have done a restart, will see if that has an effect.

This morning, I noticed that Dave Winer's FeedLand Feed did not update for my MyStatusTool instance, but it did for all of the other test instances. If anyone sees any other issues, let me know.

Dave Winer talks about bootstrapping a federated 140-character loosely coupled network. I think MyStatusTool fits the bill! You don't have to get an account on Threads or wait for a Bluesky invite - just download, install, and get started making some news of your own! PS - I already wrote about this bootstrap.

IEEE Spectrum: How the Computer Graphics Industry Got Started at the University of Utah - Adobe and Pixar founders created tech that shaped modern animation - I used image generators from Evans and Sutherland earlier in my career, then they were purchased by Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace) to be part of their simulation business. Exciting times back then!

Zettlekaste.de: Building a Second Brain and the Zettelkasten Method - This post goes into great detail contrasting the "Building a Second Brain" ideas of Tiago Forte and the Zettelkasten Method as practiced by Niklas Luhmann. The author states that both methods can be used simultaneously with little to no overlap (BASB is project focused, ZKM is knowledge-focused. It's worth the time to read!

Greg Wilson: Eleven Tips for Organizational Change "This was a proposal for the US Research Software Engineer Association 2023 conference, but was rejected.... I recognize that they are incomplete—in particular, that they are strongly biased toward what works in affluent, democratic societies—but if you’re tired of rolling heavy rocks up steep hills over and over again, maybe they will help."

Hmph! The pharmacist said he could not give me a Covid booster because I was not old enough and did not have diseases like HIV or cancer. I think I will look elsewhere!

I saw Ken's Smith's recent post on group activities, and I agree that larger social media may not be the place for such groups to work together. I also think another recent post of Ken's (Choose to affiliate) also echoes this thought. To me, MyStatusTool could be the tool of communication for a small work group or organization, with the added plus of owning your content/work. Since it uses rssCloud as the notification service for new posts, real-time conversations can occur there.

JustSecurity.org: National Security Implications of Trump’s Indictment: A Damage Assessment

It is those national security implications, as evidenced in particular by the 31 counts lodged under the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. § 793(e)), which we briefly lay out here.

Another user calling for a tool like MyStatusTool in 2008:

If you hosted your own Twitter, just like you host your own website, you could put your twitter anywhere. Case scenario: I have a twitter blog at dembot.com/twitter All of the friends I follow? How would we connect? You guessed it: RSS! Somebody get me a soda, Im feeling dizzy.

Dave Winer linked this morning to a 2008 post on a "decentralized Twitter". I believe that MyStatusTool meets that definition. I also discussed this more in a February 2023 post where I link to some other Dave Winer posts on bootstrapping. MyStatusTool is definitely in the bootstrap phase, and available to anyone who wants to try it!

My Status Tool is an application that provides the basic posting and reading functionality within Twitter, but using RSS and rssCloud as the enabling technologies. Each post has its own page, just like Twitter.
