Today I made an LED turn on and off from a web page. I live in the future now. #arduino #sparkcore #hardware

OH "I thought it would be the next 'cool' thing to have a Windows phone." ... "It's ok, it looks like you have an Android"

Apple is clearly up to more than they revealed with HomeKit in iOS 8 today. An iPhone can't control your home lights if you're away from home without some sort of connection.

If Apple adds HomeKit support to iCloud, then your phone would have a backend to talk to.

The next step would be getting some device to sit in your house to send the raw messages to all the devices. Maybe this will be built into the next Airports, or could be launched as a separate device. This device would be able to use the iCloud connection.

When you're away from home you could tell your phone to turn off the lights, it would send a message via iCloud which would be picked up by the base station at home.

"Because I've already got webmentions on my site, Brid.gy worked straight out of the gate--a lovely demonstration of some small pieces, loosely joined." - @adactio on posting notes from his own website: http://adactio.com/journal/6826/

Just pushed out two fixes for IndieAuth.com:

• Better feedback on SSL errors - https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/issues/40
• Allow http -> https redirects - https://github.com/aaronpk/IndieAuth/issues/28

There is a spider making a web in front of the security camera, setting off the motion sensor all night. #homeautomation #edgecases

Now my site credits the app that was used to post notes, like this one! (See "Posted using quill.p3k.io" in the sidebar)

Also discovered using #mitmproxy: the "Moves" app used to be named http://protogeo.com

Tried finding my updated #secret stats using #mitmproxy but the app crashes due to a bad cert. In the process, I discovered that the app used to be named "Whispr" in development. This is the logs that were sent to bugsnag.com when the app crashed: https://gist.github.com/aaronpk/46e1b3161514ef874019

Just updated the Ruby webmention client to include a command line utility for sending webmentions! https://github.com/indieweb/mention-client-ruby

Testing a new sample app that posts notes to your site using Micropub!

@jlsuttles Are there any more docs on the Ruby microformats2 parser? I can only find the simple usage example in the readme https://github.com/G5/microformats2

Pretty sure some bike messengers could make a killing on bottled water delivery right now #pdx #pdxboil @portlandwater https://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/63892

Thinking about two-factor auth at a nano level, requiring human confirmation before any client can actually post to your site via your micropub endpoint.

For example, I sign in to barnaby's experimental Taproot interface but don't trust it entirely yet. Instead of giving him blanket access to post to my site, every time his app makes a request to my micropub endpoint, it goes and asks me for confiramtion before publishing.

Either OOB confirmation (2-factor auth via SMS or something) or an OAuth-like confirmation dialog from the same browser window.

TIL it's possible to send arbitrary files via iMessage

Just launched keyboard shortcuts on IndieAuth.com so you can select a provider with j/k and press enter to sign in. No mouse necessary anymore!

Handy unintended feature of #iMessage: You can presence-query and test if phone numbers are still active.
