Best practice for commercial WordPress themes and version control
willnorris.com/2013/best-practice-for-commercial-wordpress-themes-and-version-control/
Though to be clear, it's licensed under the
GPL
so I would have every right to post it publicly, I just don't really want to. But it also seems wasteful to use one of my few private repos on GitHub just for this. It'd be really great if StudioPress had a git repo that paying customers had read access to that they could use for exactly ...
Fetching Go Sub-Packages on Static Sites - Will Norris

Fetching Go Sub-Packages on Static
Sites
. One of my favorite things about Go is that there is no central repository for third-party libraries and code. Instead, import paths resemble URLs and the go get command can fetch packages from wherever it is that they are hosted. There is built-in support for popular services like GitHub and Bitbucket ...
OpenID is not a provisioning engine - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2007/openid-is-not-a-provisioning-engine/
In talking about the future possibilities of OpenID 2.0 and the Attribute Exchange extension, James Henstridge mentions, Imagine being able to update your shipping address in one place when you move house and having all the online retailers you use receive the updated address immediately. Or changing your email address and having all the bugzilla instances you use pick up the new address ...
Free Your ID - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2007/free-your-id/
Wow, when Scott said yesterday that JanRain was going to be making a cool announcement, he wasn't kidding. Today they, along with GNR, announced a new service called FreeYourID, which provides identity services with a .name domain.This top level domain was originally setup for use by individuals in this fashion, but it never really seemed to catch on (at least from my perspective).
A New Kind of OpenID Proxy - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2009/a-new-kind-of-openid-proxy/
It's an interesting concept, however, as a privacy nerd, it leaves me unhappy. You've mentioned that the salt could be stored or compromised, but far worse the actual OpenID used could be stored. As a privacy nerd I must assume the service is my enemy (this is why protocols like ToR and MIxmaster are set up to work even if you do not trust the nodes themselves).
OpenID provider wish-list
willnorris.com/2007/openid-provider-wish-list/
A week or so ago, Nic Ferrier of prooveme contacted me about a previous post I made that referenced prooveme.com in regards to strong authentication. He ended the email, We'd like to be your provider of choice - so do tell us what you want to see.. I had been meaning to post a reply to this for several days, but now with Martin Atkins's Relying Party Best Practices, it seems like an ideal ...

after a good bit of frustration, and a small hunk of cash, everything's back online. all the old journal entries are currently lost in the bowels of the old server, but soon to be recovered.
Plato's Republic

I've been toying with the idea of going into IP law eventually, so I decided to take a few political science classes to make sure I was going to like it.
new layout - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2003/new-layout/
so i came up with a new layout this morning. some of the pages need a little work to maintain consistency, but i'm pretty happy with it so far. thanks to CSS Zen Garden for demonstrating the true power of style sheets.
Identity and Identifiers
willnorris.com/2010/identity-and-identifiers/
I still remember when I made the conscious decision to go by the name "Will" instead of "William". I was 11 or 12 years old, and we were moving from Irving, Texas, where we had lived the last 7 years or so, to Olive Branch, Mississippi.
Google+ Profile Link Chrome Extension - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2012/google-profile-link-chrome-extension/
One of the goals I set for myself this quarter was to get more familiar with the various development platforms that we support at Google. I use a number of Chrome extensions on a regular basis, and I've built a simple "Hello World" style extension before, but never anything that was all that useful.
alive and well in LA - willnorris.com

I still don't have a lot of free time to get online (no internet at home yet), but I wanted to at least let everyone know I'm doing well here in Los Angeles.
DiSo - One Year Later
willnorris.com/2008/diso-one-year-later/
I'm not sure that anyone mentioned it really, but a couple of weeks ago was the one year anniversary of the DiSo Project.In that time, Chris and I were both hired by Vidoop to work on DiSo full-time, and Steve was picked up by Six Apart.We've also seen the entire discussion about these technologies, now dubbed the "Open Stack", move forward tremendously.
A place to call home - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2013/a-place-to-call-home/
Last week, in a post talking about the IndieWeb, I shared my concerns with Mike Elgan's "Blogs of August", in which he encourages individuals to blog exclusively on Google+ for the month of August. I'm happy that the conversation has continued over the last week in various places like Copyblogger and on Google+ itself.. In my post last week, I mentioned:
WordCamp badge fail

Last December, Matt Mullenweg linked to a post titled A lawyer's home base on the web is their blog, advocating the use of a personal website as your primary identity online.
strong authentication and emailing passwords

2023-03-01T00:00:00.0000000
So this afternoon, I happened across i@mdentity listed in the OpenID Directory.They seem to be some kind of identity provider in the UK that has their own authentication protocol that they have a small number of vendors using.
The Indie Web is the new Zines - willnorris.com
willnorris.com/2014/the-indie-web-is-the-new-zines/
I really love these two quotes from Lillian Karabaic's great piece, The Indie Web is the new Zines. They really underscore the importance of the indie web (and ideas like it) to ensuring free speech and diverse opinions:
A class needed by class <...> cannot be found: org/apache/tools/ant/Task

I got this issue when I tried to set up a web service app with jaxws 2.1 to work. I was having another issue, followed a link online suggested that all the jars for jaxws 2.1 should be put in jre/lib/endorsed.
tr.im python script (for Mac)

For a while I have been using a simple AppleScript script to convert URLs into shortened URLs. The flow goes something like: Initiate script from Quicksilver Grab URL from the front-most window in Safari Submit URL to URL shortening service (previously xrl.
Thoughts on Proposition 8 - Will Norris
willnorris.com/2008/thoughts-on-proposition-8/
California's Proposition 8, which proposes a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriages, has certainly been a recent topic of discussion around ours and many Californian's dinner tables. I've talked with friends, family members, and colleagues, listening to the various arguments people have on each side of the issue.
