Part of me thinks links.scripting.com should be on the home page.

It's a damn fine little site, that's been going since April last year, but only got rendered for the first time a couple of days ago.

Wonder what other little gems are sitting out there undiscovered!

BTW, it now updates shortly after I post a new link to Twitter.

And there's an RSS feed you can subscribe to.

Still diggin!

I'm afraid my ride diary is going to be pretty boring most of the time, now that I've found my standard ride.

1. Get on the Hudson River Greenway heading north.

2. Ride nonstop to 94th St, just after the over-water stretech.

3. Get off the bike and sit on a bench, watch the world go by, take a photo or video.

4. Get on the Hudson River Greenway heading south.

5. Get off at 10th St and head home.

Roundtrip is 9.67 miles, it takes almost exactly 1 hour.

Looks like that's the daily ride.

A few weeks ago Twitter added a section to their home page with recommendations of people and companies to follow. I've never really liked it, although I was willing to give it a try after it became clear it was algorithmic. But now that I've given it a try I'd like to opt out of it.

I find it distracting and tiring. The names don't change unless I click the X next to them, and I feel bad about that, because the people didn't do anything to get me to so dislike them. It's Twitter using their names, without their permission. I shudder at the thought of how many people are similarly irritated by my name in their right margin. Who is this Dave Winer guy and when will he stop begging for me to follow him. Thing is, I'm not begging, Twitter is doing the begging.

I'd prefer if they would leave me out of this whole thing, on both sides.

A simple setting that says I have enough followers so please no more recommendations. And another that says that I don't want to appear as an ad in someone else's right margin.

Please.
