  • 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.

    @ringmaster we can switch to a longer form blog conversation anytime you like, though you might need to support webmention for both sides of it to show up on your site.

  • 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.

  • macOS 10.12 Sierra: The Ars Technica review | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)
    "Here’s how it works (note that any time you see “Mac” below, the feature also works on iDevices running iOS 10):

    Text or some other item is copied on one Mac. The device then advertises over Bluetooth that it has something in its clipboard, just as it would do if it had content available via Handoff. Unlike Handoff, though, there's no visual indicator on other Macs or iDevices that anything is ready to copy.
    Hit paste on the other Mac. There's a pause that accompanies the action—nearly unnoticeable for a snippet of text or a link but long enough to prompt a little progress bar popup for larger images or big chunks of text—during which Mac #2 requests the contents of Mac #1's clipboard, and Mac #1 sends it over.
    Though both of your devices need to be signed in to the same iCloud account to trust each other, your data never appears to touch Apple's servers—like Handoff, all communication is local. This also means that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have to be enabled on both devices, and both devices need to be within range of each other for copying and pasting to work. You won't necessarily need an active Internet connection."

  • 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.

    The #FlickrFriday challenge this week is "long exposure", I guess 204 seconds should be enough. I went down to the beach to take a nice photo of the "cold bath house" or Kallbadhuset here in Varberg.

    That's great! I was curious what ISO setting was used, but it's not in the EXIF summary, I had to click to show the full EXIF to see it.

    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
    • https://www.amazon.com/Victoriatourist-Travel-Canvas-Shoulder-Lightweight/dp/B01HU9EE1Y

    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.

    You actually want that running on port 53, because DNS is always open!
    Aaron Parecki
    I might have to give that a try too. Tho I have seen some hotspots run their own DNS server and block outgoing DNS requests. Certainly no harm running SSH on both ports.

  • 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.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
