[Joe_Crawford] ^^
#
[tantek] ^ may I suggest .io as a topic?
#
[tantek] will try to pop-in
#
capjamesg[d] This is about blogging / writing, so let's save that for HWC on Wednesday if there is interest.
#
[tantek] fair!
barnaby, user23 and [Jo] joined the channel
#
[Jo] I'm late but I agree on how the RSS reader kinda robs you of the original site design, I've been thinking about that lately

capjamesg[d] I like narrating the list of other events at the end of an event.

#
[mattl] Would love to write more stuff on my website but I'm still stuck at the part where I put things on my website 😕
#
capjamesg[d] We discussed that today. The sentiment was to start writing, then figure out where to put things later.
#
[mattl] To me, personally, that would be a waste of my time. If I'm going to write something, it has to go somewhere.
#
gRegor Was today's HWC for writing time, or discussing writing? Or both? :)
#
capjamesg[d] It was for discussing writing!
#
capjamesg[d] [Joe_Crawford] did a bit of writing on the call: https://artlung.com/blog/2024/10/08/raw-text-to-speech/
#
gRegor Have never really tried virtual body doubling for writing. I know in ye olde days of in person HWCs the writing hour was helpful for me.

#
[Joe_Crawford] "writing" is being very generous to me there. though this was some writing in anticipation of the meeting. https://artlung.com/blog/2024/09/23/talking-about-writing/
#
gRegor A writer speaks, then the robot transcribes it. :)
#
capjamesg[d] Is one not then an orator?
#
capjamesg[d] (The elocution in that sentence is so poor 😂 😭 )
#
capjamesg[d] I was inspired by HWC this evening to record an audio note: https://jamesg.blog/2024/10/08/monologue-on-modality/
#
[mattl] nice, it would be nice to have a text transcript. i'm surprised macOS doesn't just give me one tbh

#
[tantek] I feel like this is enough of a theme or occurrence among some number of IndieWeb designs that it may be worth its own page
#
[tantek] I've certainly styled my blog that way in the past, and jwz has a similar look too
#
[tantek] does that style have a canonical name?
#
[tantek] design blog https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/its-not-just-you-the-neon-glow-of-terminal-green-really-is-ubiquitous/ calls it "Terminal Green"
#
nemonical well, the wordpress template i've used is called RetroGeek
#
[tantek] saw that!
#
[tantek] Wikipedia refers to the original devices / screens as "*Green screen* [display(s)]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochrome_monitor
#
[tantek] looks like "Terminal Green" pretty much specifically nearly only means this styling: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%22Terminal+Green%22
#
[tantek] whereas RetroGeek shows literally no sign of the styling: https://www.google.com/search?q=RetroGeek&client=firefox-b-1-d (on page 1 of normal results). Even clicking through to image results shows only the WordPress theme as a reference to that styling, no one else (other than the WP theme) uses "RetroGeek" to refer to that green screen display effect
#
[tantek] so I'm going with the web/internet has decided "Terminal Green" is the name of this effect

[mattl] For me green screen is how things looked on the Amstrad GT64 monitor. When I was a kid green screen terminals were how computers looked for the most part.
