Tomorrow afternoon I'm giving a lightning talk at #BlockchainSpirit where I'll explain how I built a Task Manager using the #solid protocol, come say hi if you're around! https://blockchainspirit.splashthat.com/

Here you can find my slides and a summary of yesterday's presentation on #Solid #MyData https://speakerdeck.com/noeldemartin/an-introduction-to-solid

Today I'll be talking about #Solid in the #MyData meetup (talk in Catalan). Come join us! https://www.meetup.com/MyData-Barcelona/events/268485856/

I just found out that most wireless mouse controllers have a hidden compartment next to the batteries to store the USB stick 🤯

@imacrea Yeah I know, I was just trying to be helpful, nevermind xD

@imacrea Yeah I agree, that's why I said "the closest thing", but I guess fosdem is not the best place to find that :/

@vinnl So far I haven't got to watchlists, but it's something I want to do for sure. I am already using schema.org for the models, so maybe I'll find something there for watchlists as well :).

@imacrea there is an open source design devroom, I guess that's the closest thing you'll find https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/open_source_design/

@sl007 @rubenverborgh Nice, I didn't know about offdem, I'll check it out.

I am attending #fosdem this weekend, anyone around who wants to talk about #solid and #linkeddata? https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/attending-fosdem-2020

Some people is against New Year Resolutions, but I do them and here's two things I always keep in mind:

✅ It's better to build habits than set goals, so many of my goals are tracking new habits

✅ Keep them SMART (Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Realistic and Time-related)

"What simultaneously sucks and doesn't? This new robot vacuum cleaner" Is this the best news headline ever? 😂 I signed up for The Register newsletter some weeks ago and it's awesome. Great way to stay up-to-date and hilariously funny. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/23/anker_vac/

Am I the only one who watches videos and listens to podcasts at 1x?

I am a big fan of One Piece, and reading this week's chapter was bittersweet because what happened shows it's really nearing its end. I want to enjoy what's left with as much intensity as always, and so far the series is at its best. Thank you Oda!

After more than a year on my backlog, I finally gave Laravel Nova a try. It was as good as expected, Laravel quality. Read more about it here: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/brushing-up-noeldemartincom#comment-4

These days I've been trying to streamline my media sources, and I'm happy to say that RSS is alive and well! It's true that not all websites provide a feed, but tools like Kill The Newsletter and FetchRSS make it very easy.
