[artlung] (morning rabbit hole: offhand mention of a defunct comment hosting service Haloscan by a blog I follow took me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(blog_comment_hosting_service) which took me to https://indieweb.org/lost_infrastructure which prompted me to add https://indieweb.org/Category:Lost )

capjamesg [artlung] GWG Does https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=107943&oldid=106657&rcid=107858 now have a video?
#
[artlung] We were outside for that conversation and I don't think (but don't know definitively, remember for sure) that there's no video.
#
Loqi [github] Successfully deployed aaronpk/IndieNews to https://news.indieweb.org

#
Loqi Okay, I cancelled it!
#
gRegor Hm, looks right on events site but still flipped in this-week preview for me
#
[tantek] correct because it was edited in the event just after that revision of the newsletter
#
[tantek] I mean "correct" I agree with your observation. Should have said "confirmed" 🙂
#
[tantek] am confident it will be corrected in the 14:00 newsletter draft
