I created the domain omz13.com to use as my online identity in 2003, which in internet years means it is really old.

I have been involved in ICT from about 198x, when accessing Prestel over a 1200/75 baud modem was a thing. These days I connect to the internet over a high bandwidth glass connection (huzzah for FTTP).

Itches
in alphabetical order:


 * avoiding link rot because things on the net have a tendency to disappear (especially when in a silo) so some kind of archiving
 * avoiding the micro and looking more towards the macro
 * plurality because diversity and interoperability are good
 * privacy

Working On
Making my own building blocks and sticking them together with gaffer tape and cyanoacrylates to build an Indieweb-friendly website and service.

So far:
 * a microformat-oriented cms whose content can be updated using micropub (for use by its built-in editor of external clients like Quill) or wordpress api (for use by external clients such as MarsEdit or Author).
 * indieauth client (ssogate) and server (IdP)
 * OAuth2 client (to integrate with the world outside IndieAuth)
 * micropub client and server
 * webmention sending and receiving
 * and some other things...

For public use:
 * Toolbox a hosted web-app (with an IndieAuth-gated login) that offers developers, a way to:
 * check that various metadata can be successfully discovered and parsed, including:
 * homepage profile
 * various IndieWeb endpoints
 * authorization server metadata (rfc8414 )
 * blog api using (really simple discovery ).
 * retrieve protected resources manually by providing a Bearer Token.

Why build it yourself?
Because: kicks and giggles, and, you know, why integrate in 10 minutes with some service when you can spend a year or two building it yourself.

How do you feel about systemd?
It works, so why all the hate about it?
