Day 29 - Tuned
Day 29. I started this one with the synth chord track. They go in and out of tune across the phrases, only plus or minus half a half-step so it's barely audible but should come across as something being slightly off. The bongo drums were fun to add, that's mostly me playing the piano notes live, and there are a few different kinds of hits in the samples to make it sound less mechanical.continue reading... -
Day 29: Better Media Support in p3k #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I worked on better media support. This involved a couple of changes.Reposting audio and video posts that show the player for the reposted mediaSupport for audio + photo posts (shows as an audio player with poster image)Support for video + audio + photo posts (shows as the video player with a hidden audio link for mf2 consumers)Fallback for browsers that don't support <video> or <audio> that includes a link to download the filesHere's an example of a reposted podcast episode. It includes the episode name and an <audio> tag which plays the episode inline.continue reading... -
Day 28 - Waiting
Day 28. Waiting for the snow to melt. I started this one from the chord progression in the middle, and then built up to and out of it.continue reading... -
Day 28: Updating Syndication Property in Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb
As the Micropub spec has evolved, there have been some minor changes to how Quill used to do things. Today I added a configuration option to allow you to change the name of the property used to indicate the syndication targets.continue reading... -
Day 27 - Echoes
Day 27. Solo piano again. There's a half-measure delay added to the piano. The track that plays the delay is adjusted to make it sound far away, by boosting the high EQ and dropping the low frequencies, and adding a "stereo spread" effect to make it sound like it's coming from both sides. This sounds way more interesting with headphones so you can hear that effect better.continue reading... -
Got stuck in a research hole looking for a new laptop/travel bag. Can't quite find anything that fits all my requirements though. Must be able to fit the following:
• Laptop: 7.75" x 11"
• Keyboard: 5.5" x 15.25"
• Headphones: flattens to 6.5"x7.5"x1.5" or collapses to 6.5"x5"x3"
• Kindle, notebooks: 5"x7"
• DSLR: 3.5" x 4.5" x 6"
• Battery: 3.5" x 6.5" x .75"
• Various wires and cords
For reference, I can currently fit everything in my small Tumi sling bag, except the keyboard sticks out the top by an inch and so I can't zip up the compartment. That bag would be perfect if it were just a little taller.
I want something that doesn't *look* like a backpack, and is nice enough looking to carry in a semi-professional setting. Most backpacks with two straps are too casual looking, and most of the one-strap slings are too small. More zippers are generally good, since I tend to carry lots of little things that would all get lost in a single compartment.
The only ones I've found so far that are close are:
• https://www.amazon.com/Targus-13-3-Inch-Tablet-Backpack-TSB80704/dp/B00KVLM9GQ
• https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-31374701-Travel-Sling/dp/B00Q845R8W

Any suggestions? -
Day 27: Parsing meta http-equiv and returning status code in XRay #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I closed a long-standing request on XRay to return the HTTP status code from the retrieved page, as well as parsing the <meta http-equiv="Status" content="410 Gone"> tag in the HTML. I also now return the final URL that XRay retrieved the document from, after following any HTTP redirects that were sent.continue reading... -
Day 26 - Sherlock at Dawn
Day 26. Time for another mashup! This is the Sherlock opening theme orchestrated and arranged like Nina Simone's "Feeling Good." These are always fun to do because I get to deconstruct two different songs and then put them back together. I also included the audio from the original Nina Simone track since she does a solo introduction in the song, and it lined up pretty well without a lot of cuts! The video is the Sherlock intro sequence mixed with some video of a Nina Simone concert.continue reading... -
Day 26: Tag tokens and publish date for Quill #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Last week, Barry Frost released Micropublish, a Micropub client written in Ruby. It's a very slick interface for posting a few kinds of posts. I noticed that his "category" field looked really nice, and discovered that he was using a Bootstrap plugin called "Token Field". Today I added this plugin to Quill, so now everywhere that you previously had to enter tags as comma-separated values, it's now using this "token field" UI.continue reading... -
Day 25 - The Archives
Day 25. I got started much earlier today, and appreciated having the extra time to work on this! I'm reasonably happy with it, although I think the last phrase could use some more build-up, to emphasize the hesitation and quiet ending even more. The video is from my visit to the Internet Archive in San Francisco yesterday. The Internet Archive main office is in an old church. These are just two of the racks of live servers that power archive.org.continue reading... -

Day 25: Automatically Fetching Reply Contexts for p3k #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I worked on automatically expanding the contents of my reply contexts whenever a new post is created. I also have a utility to fetch the reply context for older posts. I ran it for the first page of replies on my replies feed, and I'm super excited that they are looking pretty good now!continue reading... -
Day 24 - The Cheat
Day 24. I was out and about in San Francisco most of the day, so didn't get started on this until I was finally in the MAX on the ride home from the Portland airport. I started this on my phone, which meant I was relatively limited in what I could do, so I started putting some loops from Garage Band on the iPhone together. I never made it an explicit rule not to use loops, but I've always felt bad about doing that. This one is almost entirely just various loops assembled together. But it was more important to me to get something done than to not use loops, so here we are.continue reading... -
