Let me interject also to add a caveat to this though
#
[morgan]
A lot of people feel very quick to give feedback on Resumes. Because potentially, in a societal sense, people are used to looking at many of them and rejecting many of them
#
[morgan]
I make assumptions about my reader like that they appreciate what a personal website is, because Ive been a professional web developer for 10 years

For tantek and others building a physical index for their /personal_library post IWC San Diego, Brodart has a sale on index cards this months. viz. https://boffosocko.com/2025/12/18/brodart-colored-blank-punched-catalog-cards/

[chrisaldrich] Are those pictures from your own collection? Or is that of the ones for sale?

Neat, just noticed Amy is using tags to collect CV related posts. That's a unique approach to keep up with your latest: https://rhiaro.co.uk/tags/cv

I've been thinking about getting Instagram Cross postin up with this tool. Cool to see Justin publicizing it. https://justin.searls.co/takes/2025-12-18-18h21m05s/

[KevinMarks]: I have thoughts about the two links that Kevin posted but those thoughts go in several different directions unfortunately, and I'm not sure how to navigate late replies here. Would be easier on a forum.
#
[tantek]
Post about it on your own website and cite the chat permalink
#
[tantek]
Any time you want to reach for writing a paragraph of thoughts on a forum or in chat, write that up as a blog post on your own website instead

No, I won't be doing that in this case. That does relate to something else I've considered though, a response post about situations where response posts aren't the best format.
#
[tantek]
Point is, chat is is brief and realtime. "Late replies" is a use case for blogging

morgan, those are from my own collection. Definitely not for sale. Here's the rest of my boxes: https://boffosocko.com/research/zettelkasten-commonplace-books-and-note-taking-collection/#Boxes%20I

Yea, I recently heard about zettelkasten and bought the book "Antinet Zettelkasten" by Scott P. Scheper. I plan to start off the new year by developing my practice in this. 🙂

snowlesstaco, I know there are several here who do these practices variously under the various labels /digital_garden /zettelkasten /commonplace_book. Personally I think Bob Doto's book is one of the better places to start. Scheper can be longwinded and obtuse. Umberto Eco's How to Write a Thesis is also excellent.

[edit] in Australia, you're liable for comments made (and presumably shown) on your posts (at least on Facebook). a whole new wrinkle in the "what from received webmentions should I show or not?" question https://gizmodo.com/facebook-users-liable-for-all-comments-under-their-post-1847633797

im making a indieweb utilities website (which will probably have tools like guestboard hosting, blog hosting, posts hosting etc etc) all for free

indieweb.org always seems to go down at the same time my own site experiences a massive spike in bot activity. I guess the scrapers are scraping again and overloading the databases.

For those who own their Strava and related mapping data, this might be a fun thing to tinker around with owning on your own site: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1pqmqd7/2_years_ago_i_ran_every_street_in_manhattan/
