All things me.

Can someone test by sending a webmention to one of my posts? For instance this one: http://blog.henrikcarlsson.se/2017/11/9520/

Test signal.

It seems like my site has lost the ability to receive webmentions since I moved it to my VPS. I wonder that the F is going on…

I just watched a Kurzgesagt video on how far we’ll ever be able to reach into the universe. I didn’t know and had never thought about the things in the video. Not only are we limited in how far we’ll ever be able to reach in the universe as a species, as time moves on the rest of the universe won’t even be observable from our corner of it.

Even thought I, and anyone who’s likely to read this, will be long gone before this will matter it still made me feel melancholic. I guess sometimes I just don’t want to be reminded about the fact that everything will eventually end. Not just me and everyone I’ll ever known, will know or interact with, but every living thing – the universe itself – will eventually and.

Testing a photo blogging workflow

posted this note on and tagged it with Photo challenge

Doug Lane has a fun idea for an informal photo challenge on Micro.blog. I love the idea of something that makes me post more photos on the blog/Micro.blog, so I’m definitely in.

I’ll tag my photos as snapshots and maybe even some special challenge tag, but I’ll get back to you on that.

Here’s the themes for the photos:

  • Day 1 (Sat): “Squares”
  • Day 2 (Sun): “Tasty”
  • Day 3 (Mon): “On the Move”
  • Day 4 (Tue): “Up Close”
  • Day 5 (Wed): “Liquid”
  • Day 6 (Thu): “Seasonal”
  • Day 7 (Fri): “Shadow”

Allowing rewrite of permalinks on WordPress

posted this note on and tagged it with Narrating my work

Turns out the problem I was having with everything except the front page was due to permalink rewrites not working. It seems three things were incorrectly setup.

First, the WordPress folder wasn’t writable by the www-user.

Secondly, this needed to be done:

You have to edit the Apache conf file (in Ubuntu 14.04: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf) and change the AllowOverride setting from None to FileInfo

<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
Require all granted
</Directory>

You may need to enable the Rewrite module:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

It appears things only semi-work on the new server. All the backend stuff works and the front page works but no other page or feed does. Strange.

Yep, the site is moved to the VPS now and it is indeed faster now than before.
