  Also I apparently have Scoble in my address book so I see a lot of weird stuff in my #secretly feed from "friends"

  Emergency alert. Portland strongly urges all residents to stay indoors today & not travel due to ice. #pdx #pdxsnow #emergency #ios

  Super excited to try @felton's new @getreporter app! Also very nice to see the option of automatically saving every entry to Dropbox. I smell a bunch of new data coming to my metrics feed soon! http://aaronparecki.com/metrics #quantifiedself

  @felton @getreporter This app looks awesome! Couple questions:
  
  1) What format is the timestamp in the JSON output? I don't recognize 413656282.490991
  
  2) What does the app do with the photos? Is it uploading them anywhere? What is the expected use of the photo array in the JSON output?
  
  3) Is the app sending reports to your server, or just storing everything locally and saving directly to my Dropbox account from the phone?

  @aaronpk we have no servers. reports are only stored locally and to dropbox (if activated).
  

  @GetReporter That's awesome news, thanks! I bet it makes things easier on your end too. Would love to hear how you came to the decision to not run a server. I'm continually disappointed by the number of silos that exist for this kind of stuff. More of my thoughts here: http://aaron.pk/a4SV1

  @GetReporter I'm also curious about the prompts. How do you determine the schedule? Is it truly unpredictable? More background here: http://messymatters.com/tagtime/#UNP

  @aaronpk timestamp is obj-c timestamp… milliseconds since 2001, but we’re going to make this friendlier.
  

  @GetReporter I'm having a tough time parsing the timestamp, and seems really fragile. Could you use ISO8601? e.g. "2014-02-09T13:12:28-0700" I know it's kind of a pain in iOS, but here's some example code: https://github.com/aaronpk/PushupCounter-iOS/blob/87959778ed973d9b65cf8fad4caea5311f0c3190/PushupCounter/PKDataManager.m#L85
