I’m here at the first IndieWebCamp Oxford. I can’t quite believe it all came together!

After some introductory rambling from me, the group got down to planning and coding.

…

Garrett Coakley

And it’s been mostly planning and coding ever since, with brief breaks here and there to swear at or about PHP in my case.

Note #10542

@edent here’s where you ought to start with developing a webmention endpoint in PHP: https://indieweb.org/Webmention-developer

Dan Q found GC6K1BC Church Micro 9632…Oxford – Christadelphian

This checkin to GC6K1BC Church Micro 9632...Oxford - Christadelphian reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

After a few false starts with the arithmetic (hint: make sure you’re substituting the right value into the right place!) – thanks for the checker! – this was a quick and easy find. Log completely full and in need of replacement. TFTC!

Note #10536

Just discovered @openbenches (openbenches.org), which tags the locations of benches with memorial plaques. If I could #indieweb webmention my checkins to them, I’d totally promote a new GPS game based upon them. #indieweb #indiewebcamp

Flew by to collect the requisite information while on the way to IndieWebCamp Oxford this morning. So long as the rain holds off and I can solve the coordinates, I may be back at lunchtime to find the cache! Love instruction C, by the way… I’ll consider it!

Super easy find while on my way to an IndieWebCamp event (to work on some open source geocaching tools, no less!) around the corner this Saturday morning. TFTC!

There is no longer any such thing as Computer Security

Remember “cybersecurity”? Mysterious hooded computer guys doing mysterious hooded computer guy .. things! Who knows what kind of naughty digital mischief they might be up to? Unfortunately, we now live in a world where this kind of digital mischief is literally rewriting the world’s history. For proof of that, you need look no further than…

A good summary of the worst of the commonplace (non-spear) phishing attacks we’re seeing these days and why 2FA is positively, absolutely what you need (in addition to a password manager) these days.
