snarfed.org has been around since early 2002. It was born on my own server, which lived first in dorm rooms at school and then in an apartment in San Francisco. It later migrated to a Linux VPS at JVDS, and finally to its current home on a shared FreeBSD server at pair.com.
On the software side, it started on SnipSnap, then moved to PyBlosxom, and now runs on WordPress, originally on its own theme and now on a modified Ryu theme. See my software page for more of its custom patches, plugins, and themes.

Hi i am looking for a person named Andrew cotton mothers name was susan olive and his fathers name was charles cotton they lived a long time ago in a small village in north wales near porthmadog this was in the 1970s im just wondering if he is the one on your web page

hi myfanwy! he might be the one who registered on the site, but i don’t know for sure. sorry i can’t help more…
Anonymous Cellphones might be possible. I got a VirginMobile phone setup and it seems as though I don’t even have to enter in my name, address or anything. Just email when I activated the phone. You can even pay cash.
hi! sounds like you read privacy through prepaid credit cards.
agreed, i’m a prepaid fan too. it is more expensive, but if i ever give in and get a cell phone, i’d definitely go that route.
on a similar note, i’ve been wondering if the prepaid providers support
phone number portability.
even if they do, though, i doubt i could keep my current
Vonage phone number. sigh…
Hi Ryan,
Just curious, but why, if you value privacy so highly (as you should in my opinion), do you use gmail?

Hi i am looking for the guy that i saw in your collection of Big Game 2005

Does anyone have the 31 dowloadable mp3s for beyond good and evil? I tried the stormeffect one and it doesn’t work. Thanx.
hey robert, great question! actually, i don’t use gmail, but not because of privacy concerns. i just prefer pine.
as for privacy, the vast majority of people’s email is stored on a third party’s servers. whether it’s their ISP, gmail, hotmail, yahoo, or another provider seems like a minor distinction. (ok, hardcore geeks with your own mail servers, you’re the rare exception. put your hands down. :P)
if you’re thinking about the ads, i’ll let gmail speak for itself. personally, i think it’s just silly. spam filters have been “reading” our mail forever. in terms of privacy, gmail’s ad targeting is no different. they’re both just computer programs. people play the (unwarranted) privacy card because they want a way to diss ads.

On the Twitter RSS feed, if I did it right, which I think I did, brdcst.it isn’t recognizing it as a valid feed. Anything I can do for that? Thanks!
hmm, sorry about that. let’s see. does http://feedvalidator.org say it validates ok?
Nope. Error 500 is what it gives me.
It’s a very long string. Might it be getting cut off in both brdcst.it and feed validator? Looks that way after I paste it in the latter.
hmm, seems unlikely. feel free to email your feed link to me and i can debug more.
Hi loving bridgy – really enriching the comments on my blog.
Is there any way that LinkedIn comments could be integrated too?
Thanks
Ross
thanks for the kind words, ross! and thanks for the feedback, linkedin is a great idea. i’ve filed a github issue for it.
it’s not an itch for me personally, so i probably won’t end up doing it myself, but if you or anyone else want to take a crack at it, i’ll happily accept it as a contribution !
@schnarfed are these customization packaged in a independent new template?
i really like how it’s easy to spot where you POSSEd that content
@schnarfed so beside the indieweb plugin pack for wordpress and Ryu + custom CSS, nothing more? not even uf2 plugin?
@schnarfed what confuse me in the wordpress plugin list is plugins that are outside the #indieweb pack, not sure how to deal with & use
@RikMende @schnarfed Can I be of help?
@RikMende @schnarfed I help maintain the IndieWeb plugin. We’re always willing to accept suggestions about what to add.
@dshanske @schnarfed at this point, not wanting to add anything, since their use is not clear for me.
@RikMende 1st implements webmentions support, second prettifies them, third adds links to syndicated versions.
@dshanske @schnarfed my goal is to reach the same #indieweb level with my wp instance then rmendes.net for euwatch.eu
@RikMende @schnarfed Publish adds the markup for Bridgy to publish to Facebook, Twitter, etc.
@dshanske so those 3 can coexist with the #indieweb pack without contradiction or double use?
@RikMende The IndieWeb plugin is just an installer.
@dshanske @schnarfed so bridgy-publish is to POSSE content to silo’s – a bit like “Social” plugin from mailchimp does?
@RikMende Bridgy Publish is a service @schnarfed has. The plugin works with it.
@dshanske I’ll start with the pack, but I guess I will have to get this github.com/pfefferle/wordβ¦ to get my template ready.
@dshanske thanks for all the tips, i’ll see where I can get :)
@RikMende Uf2 does as much as a plugin can to add markup. That is normally the realm of the theme.
@RikMende If you need anything, visit the IndieWebCamp irc chat.
@dshanske indeed. i will see how it renders/display everything and will probably switch theme if there something cleaner available out there

@RikMende It installs from the WordPress. org repo. The only conflict would be if you also installed the Github version.

@nitinthewiz I just looked at your site. You are using Independent publisher. https://david.shanske.com has some important updates in his fork. You can use the plugin https://snarfed.org/ recommended of the post kind plugin. It is set up as taxonomy.
I’m not a fan of post kinds plugin. I tried it for a while, but the main posts should remain the default WP, and that’s too much brain effort for me to think through!
I’ll check out David’s fork though! Thanks!
my main problem with that plugin in more once burnt twice shy… What happens when I eventually get off it? Maybe the posts gracefully degrade to WP defaults, or maybe I lose all that content.
This is david.shanske.com entire philosophy of using the taxonomies versos the custom post types. Post types are them specific you will lose them if you switch. The post kinds use taxonomies more resilient. (quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/s/1NhunI)
I remember seeing the taxonomies page when I was investigating that plugin. Hmmm. I’ll investigate again, but I’m not sure how far I’ll go. Maybe a trial website to muck around is in my future.
