The terrible assumptions of digital literacy

This post is about ridding ourselves of dumb assumptions about digital literacy – who knows about tech and who doesn’t. Mostly, all assumptions are wrong, and do harm to how society progresses as a digital community Recently I’ve been dealing with various projects that relate to digital skill and literacies, and am fairly overwhelmed at how many ignorant assumptions swirl...

Let’s talk about phones

I’ve just upgraded my phone, so thoughts about phones have been in my mind, on a personal level as well as the research. I’ve had a fair few phones over the years but this article isn’t about my historic ownership of phones so I won’t go into the awesome BT fold up phones of the mid nineties (though they were...

How to navigate your digital life

“How to navigate your digital life, or, how to avoid death by a thousand digital cuts.” Recent events have made me consider deeply how digital life affects each of us and how we navigate these unknown terrains, attempt to manage our interactions, needs and expectations, and how others in our networks manage their own lives that intertwine with ours. How...

Data breach at Twitter. I was alerted through Nord VPN Dark Web alerts that there had been a possible date breach at Twitter. BE AWARE. I just received an email asking for feedback from support I requested on 20th of January, asking me to rate the support. I didn't ask for any support. This confirms […]

Visions of smart city as techno utopian VC fantasy have been dying a death in the literature for at least a decade, and Im happy to be a part of that, in a small way. From Jane Jacobs on city is people, memory and lives, not industry, machines and data. Data is generated as a […]

Another earthquake in Malta, the biggest yet of various tremors over past few weeks. The seismic activity monitor at university says its 5.3 but it felt much more and lasted about 8 seconds. All my computer monitors were shaking!#earthquake #malta #Mediterranean

Migrating wordpress to Grav. I tested wp2grav (7 years old) found on old forum posts for exporting WP to Grav. It still works fine, generating markdown with accurate front matter and retaining all urls, plus any in line images (not featured images). Just dump the posts in a new list page subfolder and they show […]

Progressing well with Grav. It's a really good experience to be back doing some dev and brushing up my (basic) git skills. I'm running this in Laragon, which is great, and updated to php8.1. Windows bash works nicely and everything is on a SanDisk USB drive. Theme is Striped, using Markdown Extra, set up a […]

Tomorrow is Friday and I have a gap in "allocated tasks" (aka slog) so I'm devoting the day to reacquainting myself with git (on windows to make it harder) and learn more about Grav. This will divert my attention from dangerous thoughts about jacking in work altogether and becoming a surf bum.#work #dropout #git #webdev […]
