  "textContent": "I was reading a post on alexwlchan's\nblog1 that referenced the concept of digital gardens, a concept/analogy for organising information which dates back to the 90s. This old concept is getting new traction today by contrasting the approach with \"endless stream\" as used and abused by social media, but also how blogs are typically presented.\n\n_This site_ , my homepage, has a blog, and that's the bit that most people who interact with the site will experience. Partly, because it's the bit that gets syndicated out: via feeds; on Planet\nDebian and downstream from it; once upon a time on Twitter; nowadays on the Fediverse.\n\nHowever there's more to my homepage than that. The rest of it may be of little interest to anyone beside me, but it's useful to me, at least. So I may switch focus a little bit from mainly writing blog posts, and tend to the rest of the garden a bit more.\n\nSome recent seeding and pruning: Recently my guest status at Newcastle University came up for renewal, so I wrote down my goals in the Historic Computing Committee for the next year or so, and put them here: nuhcc. I've also been pondering what I'm up to in Debian at the moment, so took some time to add my current projects to that page.\n\n* * *\n\n  1. I'm reminded that I should really publish a \"blog roll\" of cool blogs I'm following at the moment, of which alexwlchan's is one.↩\n\n",
