[chrisaldrich] [capjamesg] I've got a small publishing imprint for a variety of physical and e-book formats if you want to chat about converting a site into physical form. From your cover it looks like you've got a reasonable start though if you go the self-publishing route.
# [chrisaldrich] [tw2113_Slack_] she published it last year, but it's been significantly updated.
# [chrisaldrich] What is updated?
# 
Loqi An updated is a post that has been edited by the author https://indieweb.org/updated
# [chrisaldrich] wishes Maggie's site had a feed for updated posts....
# [chrisaldrich] Loqi, I said "e-book formats" not "microformats". 😉
# [chrisaldrich] gives Loqi an e-book
# [chrisaldrich] Loqi is old school and apparently prefers books of the dead tree variety.
# [tw2113_Slack_] maybe loqi is just short and uses books to reach high shelves
# [tw2113_Slack_] if he just used "javascript the bad parts" he'd have a stepstool with just 1 book
# [chrisaldrich] How's IndieWebbing all the books going [tw2113_Slack_]?
# [tw2113_Slack_] steady though i'm sure my pace is slower than previous years for actually reading
# [tw2113_Slack_] a weekend or two ago I managed to work out what I hope to be accurate "you're on track for this challenge" calculations
# [tw2113_Slack_] apparently i'm now 2 behind schedule https://apiratelifefor.me/book-challenge/2021-challenge/
# [chrisaldrich] What is a challenge?
# Loqi challenge is an event-like post which serves as a (typically open) invitation for people to post achievements towards some goal, like running a total distance, or posting photos at some frequency (every day), supported by silos like Strava and micro.blog https://indieweb.org/challenge
# [chrisaldrich] What?! No book related challenges documented?
# [tw2113_Slack_] in case curious how i calculate https://github.com/tw2113/apiratelifeforme/commit/eacd38a8c3d2b64109fd8548096c9105d18683be
# [chrisaldrich] I'm a bit jealous. Do you have a checklist of Goodreads/LibraryThing-esque features that you're slowly implementing?
# [tw2113_Slack_] i think i have most of what i want. all the meta data i care about, now the challenge status, any time i update a book status it gets tweeted
# [chrisaldrich] I ought to be reading right now, but I'm checking out some of the beta highlight/annotation functionality in Calibre to see how easy (or not) it may be to move highlights out of my books and into my website from there.
# [tw2113_Slack_] all personally taken photos of the physical book. I don't borrow those from elsewhere

# [tw2113_Slack_] i realize it's something that comes with a house and not an apartment, but having a proper study would be cool
# [chrisaldrich] You're not apartmenting properly then. 😁
# [tw2113_Slack_] well, budget and a brother for a roommate kind of makes it difficult
# [tw2113_Slack_] if i were rich i could get a 2bed on my own and make the smaller one the study
# [chrisaldrich] I'm not sure if this one is for sale if you want to move to Baltimore for your IndieWeb book-related dreams: https://bookhaven.stanford.edu/2020/07/a-johns-hopkins-landmark-on-the-block-dick-mackseys-magnificent-home-for-sale/
# [tw2113_Slack_] oh my
# [chrisaldrich] He was a friend of mine for the past 20+ years and redefined bibliomania for me.
# [tw2113_Slack_] very cool
