Losing My Revolution: How Many Resources Shared on Social Media Have Been Lost?
1 min read
I'm happy to see some research in this area. I had been starting to analyze some of the early history of blogging so this is relevant. The relevant quote:
From this model we conclude that after the first year of publishing, nearly 11% of shared resources will be lost and after that we will continue to lose 0.02% per day.

Conceptual VR Search UI from 2001. GopherVR had a bunch of neat things. Hulk jumps, stonehenge, spiral stonehenge. We used the open source Doom code to implement the software and a lot of graph paper to make the 3d models..

Internet of "Just Janitor Things"
I suspect these are simple bluetooth low energy beacons. Will find out more on my next visit. I have to wonder about the cost-benefit of these. It seems like you should already have a regular schedule for cleaning. So that leaves out-of-band events. Seems like a sign with a phone number for call/text would have worked as well...
Nit: It looks like sliding left is red. But a great idea, bathrooms aren't often cleaned after the necessary one-off events.
Garry Boyer yeah, looks like someone the beacon was improperly installed. Odd.
Also Amazon Dash for cleaning
The outer part slides, I'm guessing
I've seen gas station restrooms with a regular light switch that perform the same task. Flip the light switch and a light goes on in the back room alerting the staff.
Do so after your business, to prevent unforeseeable things.

1500 Word MTU Experiment: Day #1

1500 Word MTU Experiment: Day #1
[lynx-ified version below]
End of day #1 with Known. I'm quite pleased with the results.
Good Stuff
* brid.gy is awesome. Having +1's, likes and comments consolidated is so nice.
* Webhooks! I'm thinking of writing one to automatically archive pages to archive.org.
* PuSH appears to be fully working. Again, could extend things there..
* Google+ renders images well.
* The editor saves drafts.
* Lightweight page editor should be useful.
* AMP support is there (add ?_t=amp to any page) Some validation issues, but works.
* Real anchor tags and hyperlinks. No more writing [1] [2] in posts with multiple links (like lynx)
Rough Edges
* The built-in Photo type doesn't send the permalink to Twitter, so now I have a weird post without context. Flickr, Facebook working perfectly, might try another setting.
* I need to get to writing a Google+ outbound connector. I'm doing those by hand now.
* TInyMCE sucks. It has always sucked! If only Medium would open source their editor. At least markdown is an option.
* Looks like syndicated Google+ links are using profiles.google.com instead of plus.google.com.
* Some profile pics cloned from G+ are coming back with size 0. This shows as broken images.
* Long status posts have extra long permalink URLs.
* Built-in analytics are weak. Would rather avoid using GA for that.
* Limited import options. Will need to convert Typepad export file to Wordpress format.
* Bulleted lists line-height is tight, tight, tight.
Overall I'm pretty happy and excited about getting more content in place.
And who knew that a post on SSL/TLS certs would be soooo exciting?

GopherVR looks like what I expected the internet to look like, based on having seen this scene in Jurassic Park: https://youtu.be/dxIPcbmo1_U?t=45s. Totally cool.
