#[chrisaldrich]Does anyone do fireworks on their website to celebrate New Years the way many do balloons for birthdays or snow through the holidays?

#maxwelljoslynneat idea chrisaldrich - can't say I do. but i dig it
#maxwelljoslynyoureminded me of a tangential idea - i intend to be the first person to implement a currency exactly and only for use on my website, to "buy" various pointless things ... not sure yet exactly how one will accumulate it, but newsletter subscribers will definitely get some :^)

#ZegnatHmm. That is buying his time? Feels like Mike does it better than, selling stock in his actual life and leaving decisions up to stakeholders: https://kmikeym.com/

#maxwelljoslynThanks Kevin and Zeg. I knew of kmikey, he's a huge drongo, but didn't know of Evab
#maxwelljoslynI was thinking more along the lines of ideaofapear.com
#maxwelljoslynI don't intend any relation to IW code/protocols/boosterism but it's good to see some prior art, tyvm
#maxwelljoslynmmmmm rig up a 3d printer, "insert 1 max pin" digitally, and receive both the I object and the video of the printing (saved nowhere else)

#jamietanna[m]I realise it's only day 1 of 2012 but has anyone had any thoughts about planning for IWC? I'm thinking I'd be interested with helping organise a UK/EU IWC, provided there was some help from experienced folks
vivus and [Rose] joined the channel
#[Rose]Wait, where did you find that time machine? 😉
#[Rose]I'd like to take part in something, though I'm currently over capacity as regards to organising.
#ZegnatI would definitely be interested in an EU thing. But things seem so hard to plan for still.
#sknebelplanning for an online one around 365th of march? :P
#jamietanna[m]Thanks, that's appreciated! I guess probably a good start is getting the wiki updated to start getting some interest / folks together for organising
#jamietanna[m]I'd like to see if the folks from IWC London 2020 are around cause they did a great job ☺

#[tw2113_Slack_]Do any of you have blog/content ideas loosely mapped out for near or perhaps even long distance future? Curious what your thoughts may be regarding publicly publishing the general ideas for others to see. This is regardless of finality, it could be just a loose idea, or it could be a series of posts that you'd like.
#[Raphael_Luckom]I use my blog as the "accountability" mechanism for my software writing--I try to make sure that each thing I do (and write) has enough context to see how it fits in my overall project. Over the last couple of days I've been looking more closely at IndieAuth, so I felt like I needed to expand my conceptual description of what security is for (https://raphaelluckom.com/posts/on_security_001.html ). The last time I wrote about security was in
#[Raphael_Luckom]October, before I had a very clear idea of what I was making. I'm continually starting new threads like that, and tying things back to threads I started previously. But I don't exactly have a long-term plan for what I'll be doing over a year.
#[Raphael_Luckom]I have a private slack org where I use individual channels to take notes on different subjects--what I'm doing, backlog, interesting links, blog topics.

#GWGNeeded a break from finishing up the other project for a bit.
#GWGI just wonder why the 5 point scale is so popular.
#[tantek]GWG, my guess is lots of iteration. People have tried 3,4,5,10 point scales.
#[tantek]5 points leads naturally to expressing horrible, bad, meh, good, great
#[tantek]3 points is similar, down / neutral / up, and Swarm / Foursquare uses that with smileys 🙂 😐 😞 to rate venues
#[tantek]which is also good in that it is easier to express general positivity, ambivalence, negativity than have to figure out is it really good or really bad
#[snarfed]agreed, i settled on three points for mine
#[tantek]5 point scale also relates to A-F grading scale in the US
#[snarfed]no real conscious reasoning, just feel. minimum granularity i felt i needed

#[tantek]we use +1/0/-1 for polling our own dates for IWCs on /Planning ourselves, or when considering renamings etc.
#[snarfed]it’s personal. if this is just for your site, don’t overthink what other people do, just figure out what works for you
#GWGI'm also looking more to report on the experience than give it a number
#[tantek]I suppose there's an aspect of POSSEing if that's important to you. i.e. if most of your POSSE review/rating destinations use a 5 point scale (Amazon, Yelp), then perhaps you want to design a 5 point review rating scale into your own site
#[tantek]GWG, do you plan to POSSE your reviews anywhere? Or do you currently post reviews on Yelp or Amazon which you want to own on your own site and then POSSE to continue with your silo posting of reviews?
#cambridgeport90I have never found the five point scale to be very helpful. It's not really an accurate representation of whatever it is you're trying to review. Reviews need a lot of text. Others might disagree with me, though.
#GWGThe other area related is my 'trip report', which I want to iterate on.
