"I wrote Negroni as an alternative to Martini and it attempts to accomplish similar goals." No, not what you think #cocktails http://codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my-thoughts-on-martini/

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.

The "login" process of Foursquare's new @SwarmApp was impressive. It already knew my Foursquare account and I didn't have to sign in or OAuth or anything! Current thinking is they're using the new UIDevice identifierForVendor property which returns the same ID across multiple apps by the same company.

This week has been a complete technology fail:

• Primary backup hard drive array failed, taking out most of my archive files
• Secondary backup hard drive was deleted due to partial failure of primary
• Literally lost an old photo project save for a few remnants
• Left my #narrativeclip on the plane (got it back tho!)
• My narrative clip failed to record two key events this week despite being fully charged
• Both my primary and secondary #jawbone UP devices failed
• My phone lost all its contacts and won't sync with iCloud or Exchange anymore

Oh, and also lost a single piece from my 1961 Stratego set, making the game unplayable.

Here's looking forward to a better week!

Just set up a weekly #indieweb newsletter published every Friday containing a list of recently-edited wiki pages. Let me know if you want to subscribe! More info: http://indiewebcamp.com/this-week-in-the-indieweb
