🆕 blog! “Can You Power an iBeacon with a Lemon?”

This is a necropost - resurrected from the now defunct blog of a previous employer. Sadly, all the photos have fallen down the memory hole. So use your imagination. Energy efficiency is the next battleground for electronics. As the price of electricity soars, people will become less and less en…

*sigh* Sure, you needed to send this signal of "appreciating" my point of view. If someone challenges your #POV, I don't think it's quite fine to just discard it and block them without resolving what's left. For example, maybe show why your #preference (or #etiquette) regarding old posts needs to be a written rule of Mastodon's Code of Conduct, or Internet for that matter?

It's not like #necroposting requires a reason other than thread being relevant and adding something to the conversation. If person does not read the thread, it's another issue entirely.

Embrace the #necropost. Use it as a tool to revive right people, get feedback, and ignore jackasses that don't add anything to the discourse but complaints about their inbox being pollutted with old threads they keep voluntarily watching. Peace! ✌️

You'd often see some individuals get upset whenever you #necropost on #forums - that's most likely because they can't ignore it anymore or old thread, that they don't find relevant to themselves, gets a spot in "Last posted" of the #forum.

But when it comes to #microblogging... I don't see the issue, really. My approach is to be grateful that they even had time to find my old post at all and join the exchange. :fistbump:

Mixed Up Memory (Letter to PC Format)

This is a Necropost. Dug up from deep within the archives - my letter was published in issue 65 of PC Format.
I was a massive nerd in 1997 - and huge fan of PC Format magazine. So I turned to them when needing advice on upgrading my computer. I've no idea why I didn't post this on Usenet or CompuServe!

Huge thanks to Chris Chapman for finding a copy in t

Quick Thoughts on Google Glass

This is a necropost - resurrected from the now defunct blog of a previous employer.

Well, I've had Google Glass for all of 30 minutes - so I thought I'd give you my first impressions. No, I haven't read the manual.

The first thing to note is that it is really well packaged. Everything from the USB cable to the bundled sunglasses are held t

@aaronpk Sorry for the #necropost, but didn't you write about your experience shimming ActivityPub into your site? Could you link that? I'm thinking about doing something similar.
