2019-06-14 Thread David Gifford
Hi TiddlyTweeter,

Like I said, my comment is just an observation. Not a criticism or 
complaint or negative in any way. Gentle ribbing at most. Maybe I should 
have put a wink face after it.

My point was just that where most people here either post requests for 
help, announcements, or technical stuff about TiddlyWiki, you often tend to 
post about stuff I would normally expect to find on a blog more than on a 
forum, stuff I would describe as "musings about things that popped into my 
head today." Some are directly related to TiddlyWiki, others tangentially 
so. Some are humorous, some are thought-provoking. 

So don't read too much into it. Anyway, Mark S. seems to have understood 
your point and you got him to do some musing, too. Blessings!

Ciao Dave

Thanks for the comment. Eek! I am an avid blog type person. But I don't 
think I personally blog here intentionally. Its not appropriate. That post 
isn't even true and its a one-off :-).

But i'm very interested in how people make meaning. The tech side of TW is 
absolutely foundational but in the end I'm an anthropologist. Why do we do 
what we do? How do we come to understand that? I think that experiential 
aspect is both fascinating and important. The nature of modern culture is 
very embedded in technology. The upshot is TW discussions, occasionally, 
touching on meaning have some value because tech solutions are ultimately 
about helping facilitate human endeavour. I mean what do you have a wiki *FOR? 
*And does it *ASSIST y*ou comprehend your situation?
 
The issue of whether I'm flogging a dead horse in such posts is perhaps 
more salient :-)

Best wishes
Josiah

There are times when I think you are using this forum as your personal blog.

Taking this a little bit further...

Say I had an painful bicep that swelled 25% of its prior state. This is an 
observation, not an explicans.

In reality, simply noting it may help an ambulance asses your situation.

That EDGE between some meaningful event and HOW to understand it is 
fascinating. 

Now I will shut up.
