Tēnā koe! Ko Peter tōku ingoa — Greetings! My name is Peter.
I am a teacher and lecturer at the University of Auckland, where my main teaching and research activity is in the field of strategy. I am particularly interested in Strategy-as-practice (a practice-based view of strategy), Professional service firms, especially engineering firms, and Innovation as strategy, especially technology roadmapping (TRM).
This website is my little corner on the Internet. As well as being something of a commonplace book, I am trying to make this website into the hub for my online identity and communications.
A very solid flat white … Or was it more of a cortado? Either way, it was good, and just what we needed after fighting our way through the crowded streets of Tenby.
After a 2 hour drive this coffee and tea cake were most welcome. Look at the size of that tea cake! Newport is an interest place of contrasts; a very modern shopping centre and a very old traditional high street.
Having a ¨heiße Schokolade" or more colloquially as ¨heiße Schoggie¨ is something of a ´thing´ here. So, we did, at one of the best places for them, the Milch Bar.
You know its good when your hot chocolate is made from Lindt chocolate mix. And the milk was so very creamy.
I arrived in Zürich on Monday to continue my sabbatical (Research and Study Leave) at the University of Zürich.
As always, I broke the trip to Europe with a stopover; this time spending a couple of days in Los Angeles (but that´s another story).
The University of Zürich sits besides ETH Zürich (the federal technical university). Both have similar numbers of students and it seems as if there is a healthy rivalry between them.
We went to Downtown LA to do a bit of sightseeing, etc, and had excellent cortados from Bluebottle Coffee.
Of note, the cafe is in the Bradley Building, which featured in Bladerunner. The building has been done up rather nicely and seems like a rather exclusive haunt.
Thanks for the recommendation Chris. I've been pondering it for a while now; basically putting off doing anything. Then I came across this post on how many zettelkasten. I think you and the post have pushed me over the edge, and I'll start the process of 'collapsing' my separate Zettelkästen into my commonplace book.
SSL certificates are something of a pain for me. I have a number of devices that need then. For example, I use Zotero and keep all my .PDFs on my NAS. That requires WebDAV, and https is the only way to go, so my Synology NAS needs an SSL certificate. Nowadays, the way to go seems to be Let's Encrypt.

Schabram, K., Bloom, M., & Didonna, D. (2022). Recover, explore, practice: The transformative potential of sabbaticals. Academy of Management Discoveries. https://doi.org/10.5465/amd.2021.0100
Sabbaticals have seen an exponential growth in adoption over the last two decades and are ascribed extensive benefits by employers and employees alike. Little is known, however, about how individuals spend their time or how their experiences impact them after they return to work. Drawing on narrative interviews with 50 diverse professionals, we discover that sabbaticals combine "building blocks"− distinct periods dedicated to recover, explore, or practice− into three typical trajectories: working holidays (alternating recovery and practice), free dives (alternating recovery and exploration), and quests (unfolding from recovery to exploration to practice). While participants returned from all sabbaticals feeling affirmed in their own voice, periods of exploration and practice were associated with the extent to which sabbaticals fundamentally changed their self-narrative and disrupted the trajectory of their working lives. Those on working holidays tended to return to their former lives (though with a greater confidence and need for balance), while free divers pursued better fitting but similar work (e.g., a change in position or employer), and questers were most likely to make drastic career changes. Our model extends the breaks literature and authenticity scholarship, and offers insights to those considering a sabbatical.
As I work towards integrating my Zettlekasten with this commonplace book, I need a way to have backlinks between my pages; e.g., when I reference/create a link, say, from "Page 1" → "Page 2", I want to automagically create a backlink that goes in the other direction "Page 1" ← "Page 1".
I rather like the way Karl Voit shows how pages have been updated on his site. It's not a Hugo site, but I can see the value in doing something like that.
First, you should know I am using page bundles. It seems clean to have all the 'content' for a page in one place. Secondly, I'm using org files and not .md files (no markdown).
Rather than actually modify posts when there is an update, I want to add a separate file with the details of the update. In the example below I might have two updates to the blog entry made on 2022-12-27.
Free ice cream courtesy of the Link Alliance. Yum, yum, yum. There was also some street art. I couldn't quite make out what the text said. I think it is, "Forget about the last one. Get yourself another". If so, that's from a song by "Th'Dudes" called "Bliss".
Much of the advices applies to publishing in many/most/all management and organisation studies journals. I.e., it is important to have a clear research question, a rigorous methodology, and a well-written and well-structured manuscript that adheres to the journal's guidelines. Additionally, it is important to have a strong and relevant theoretical or practical contribution to the field, and to properly cite and acknowledge any previous research that has influenced the research. Finally, it is important to be able to clearly communicate the significance and implications of your findings for practitioners and future research.
My About Me page provides a thumbnail sketch of who I am. This page, is more about what I'm doing and planning to do now.
The biggest thing is that I'm now on Research and Study Leave (RSL/sabbatical) for a year (until 23 January 2023). So much of what I'm doing now—work wise—is about my research projects.
Other things are sort of hanging off that big endeavour.
After shopping at Mitre 10 and Bunnings (::sigh:: neither store had all we wanted, so we had to got to both), we went for a wee walk. We've not walked around here before. The artwork was rather nice.
To have responsive images, I used a shortcode for figures. I modified it to handle SVG and rotated images. Alas, I had some other problems with it (too hard to change the size of the images generated for srcset). So I have switched to the code by Charl P. Botha. It's pretty nice.
And again, I've made it work for both SVG and rotated images.
I am in the process of redesigning the site. Well, technically, I'm just doing a new skin (layout, template, or whatever). As part of that I wanted to have a gallery function.
So, this page is my 'test bed' for my gallery shortcode. Basically, it just displays all the images associated with the current page bundle.
To accomodate a complex layout like this, webmention.io-backup would have to parse the config file and look up the date field in all the content files' front matter to figure out which directory corresponds to which website page (basically, the way Hugo does it when it creates the pages in the first place). Programming all this is not impossible, of course, but it would be quite an endeavor that I’m not sure I want to embark on, especially considering the fact that one’s config.toml may contain something along the lines of
[frontmatter]date=[':git','lastmod']
I don’t want to open that can of worms!
These ‘mentions’ on my side aren’t being threaded back to the original post.
Beware, this is Salmention territory you’re stepping into. There be dragons.
The reason webmention.io-backup is failing to correctly work your directory structure is that it expects the directory structure to mirror the URL path, that is, it expects petersmith.org/blog/2022/01/10/third-steps-to-indieweb/ to reside in content/blog/2022/01/10/third-steps-to-indieweb/. In your setup, that directory doesn’t exist; instead, content/blog/20220110-third-steps-to-indieweb is used. I suppose, you are using permalinksconfig option to achieve that? If so, that’s quite a problem, because in this case webmention.io-backup can not really infer the directory name, since the URL is formed based on the date parameter and not based on the first 8 digits of the directory name, right?
I mean, I can make a patch for webmention.io-backup to work on your directory structure, it’s fairly trivial. But I’d be reluctant to incorporate it in the main branch, because it wouldn’t be flexible at all.
...After my first steps to IndieWeb, I got a really helpful message from Robbi Nespu. Alas, I've not (yet) got webmentions working in any real way, and the page he commented on had a broken URL (all my problems, not Robbi's).
Hello Peter Smith, How going? I also using Hugo, the getting webmention response working is easier if using a javascript called as
PlaidWeb/webmention.js
. Some tips from my experience :
Setup the h-card because it important and needed for indieAuth (to use some external services such as
https://webmention.io
)
You may use
https://xray.p3k.io
to inspect if the HTML are parse correctly, you can submit the URL or just paste the raw HTML (even with localhost / 127.0.0.1 addressed inside the source code, it working very well). It save my time during debugging.
I also use
https://telegraph.p3k.io
to preview (check) if all link inside h-entry support webmention. You also can manually send webmention by give a source and target from there.
Previously, I always send my URL to the Wayback Machine to archive it. But now, I have a better way to do it. I use the
Gitlab CI/CD
service to send my URL to the Wayback Machine. It is a free service and it is very easy to use. I just need to add a few lines of code to my Hugo build script.
Here is an example:
First, I need to add some python script called
archivenow
during build stage.
pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- hugo --verbose --minify --enableGitInfo
- git clone git@github.com:oduwsdl/archivenow.git
- cd archivenow
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- pip install ./
- cd ..
- ./submit10url2backway.sh
- echo 'Build is complete and feed submited to web archieved..!!!'
Then, I need to add “submit10url2backway” script to send my URL to the Wayback Machine. Here is the script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Copyright Robbi Nespu <contact@robbi.my> , 2022# License: MIT# This script is used to archive my website to the Internet Archive.# Fetch RSS and read the first 10 URLs send send it to the Wayback Machineurls1=$(curl -s https://robbinespu.gitlab.io/index.xml | grep "<link>" | head -n 10 | awk -F"<guid>"'{print $2} ' | awk -F"</guid>"'{print $1}')for i in $urls1
do archivenow --ia --is --mg "$i"done# Same like previous but for the IndieWeb RSSurls2=$(curl -s https://robbinespu.gitlab.io/indieweb/index.xml | grep "<link>" | head -n 10 | awk -F"<guid>"'{print $2} ' | awk -F"</guid>"'{print $1}')for i in $urls2
do archivenow --ia --is --mg "$i"done# Archive the main websitearchivenow --ia --is --mg "https://robbinespu.gitlab.io/"echo "Done!"
But I have turn off / comment out the script since a year ago because I don’t want to archive my website too often (because I added a webhook to execute CI/CD when received
payload from webmention
).
Plus this tricks only work for existing old post, the new post not being archived yet because pipeline still running and it the “artifacts” still un-publish.
I only want to archive it when I have a new post. So, I will archive it manually 😊
