The 6th incarnation of Elmer's blog
Second try. Probably need to be subscribed first, then post.
Why just join a Mastodon instance if I can turn my entire blog in to a node in the federated social network space? This is the first post that attempts this feat. If it works I’ll write up what I did to make it work. In the meantime you can follow these antics and more by following elmer@www.symphora.com and @emasters@law.builders.
See you on the other side!

Now, a new study offers evidence supporting what […] has long observed: online social annotation helps students understand and construct knowledge around scholarly content, while at the same time building community.

There is room for the use of social annotation tools in legal education especially as more teaching resources move online. Tools like Hypothesis would provide law students with ways to highlight and annotate online materials and share those as annotations with study groups, peers, and teachers.
Hypothesis is available in CALI Lawbooks, the online publishing platform that for CALI members

Ensuring that virtual worlds are open, accessible, and safe to all is paramount to a successful metaverse.
Here is an outlined approach to PWA implementation for a Drupal site, but other options are certainly available with similar designs.
Putting this here in case anyone finds themselves in need of something to scrape a Pipermail web archive of a Mailman mailing list. This bit of Python 3 is based on a a bit of Python 2 I found at Scraping GNU Mailman Pipermail Email List Archives. The only changes I made from the original are to update somethings to work in Python 3. It works well for my purposes, generating a single text file of the teknoids list archive from 2005 to today.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import requests
from lxml import html
import gzip
from io import BytesIO
listname = 'teknoids'
url = 'https://lists.teknoids.net/pipermail/' + listname + '/'
response = requests.get(url)
tree = html.fromstring(response.text)
filenames = tree.xpath('//table/tr/td[3]/a/@href')
def emails_from_filename(filename):
print (filename)
response = requests.get(url + filename)
if filename[-3:] == '.gz':
contents = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=BytesIO(response.content)).read()
else:
contents = response.content
return contents
contents = [emails_from_filename(filename) for filename in filenames]
contents.reverse()
contents = b"\n\n\n\n".join(contents)
with open(listname + '.txt', 'wb') as filehandle:
filehandle.write(contents)
The WordPress pattern directory finally opened its gates to the entire community today. Anyone with a WordPress.org account can log in, go to the pattern creator, and start designing. For some of u…

This looks like a great resource to help those of us who are “design challenged”. Since the patterns are applied at the page level they will help get that final touch in place that is often missing from a theme.
Here’s an example pattern lifted right from the WordPress Patterns directory.
