  • Day 40: Webmention Form for IndieNews #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    I realized today that if you visited the Webmention endpoint for IndieNews in a browser, it showed a 404 page, since the Webmention endpoint was only registered for POST requests. Today I added a page that is served for a GET request.

  • Day 39 - Escalation

    Day 39. I don't know if you can really call this one a "song". This is an attempt at making something that could be used in a trailer or as the end of an episode of a TV show. There is a base track of a few layers of string instruments, and then I layered a whole bunch of other sounds to build up to the big "boom" at the end. I reversed a couple of the sounds so that they build up instead of taper off. There's also a heart beat at the super low frequencies that doesn't actually follow the rhythm of the rest of the piece, which I think gives it a nice bit of dramatic effect. This time, I was mixing it while listening on both headphones and my desk speakers to make sure it comes across okay without headphones.

  • Day 39: Including a Featured Photo when Syndicating an Article #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    I've noticed a pattern in the blog posts that I write about these #100DaysOfIndieWeb updates, which is that I almost always include a photo in the article, most of the time embedded in the text. When I syndicate these articles to Twitter, I was previously only including the name of the post and the URL to the post, but I wanted to include the photo as well.Today I updated my syndication code to check for a "featured" photo when syndicating blog posts. It first checks for a "featured" property in the post's storage file. (So far I don't actually have any examples of storing it that way.) It then parses the post's HTML and checks if there is an image with the "u-featured" class. If so, it includes that image in the request to syndicate the post via silo.pub.Now my syndicated articles will include an image!

    Well I clearly know a lot less about circuit design than I thought. There's something wrong with this circuit, and I can't figure it out. Something about the power distribution causes the Arduino to freak out when the 12v supply is powered on and delivering power through the voltage regulator.

    I've decided to cut my losses and replace the motor control portion of this with a prebuilt relay board so that someone else has figured out all that part for me. I just bought two of these boards which can be powered from the 5v off the Arduino, and controls 8 relays. https://amazon.com/dp/B00KTELP3I/?tag=apkdotcom-20

    This will let me completely separate the power supply of the 12v motors from the power supply of the Arduino.

    "With all these negative reviews, I thought it would be hard to get going, but I'm no slouch when it comes to technical stuff so I gave it a try. It was really pretty easy. I got it to work with two different raspian images (hypriot and the standard Jessie) by just adding a few lines to the config.txt:

    max_usb_current=1
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=87
    hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0

    The first line let's the pi send it more current over the USB ports, the other three set a manual resolution for the HDMI. These are standard pi configuration variables, and needed for most bare monitors."

    Day 38. I wanted this one to be mostly piano, with just a hint of some other sounds. You might want to listen to this one with headphones for the full effect. The atonal sounds you hear are sampled from a gong. I like how some of them sound like muffled speech.

  • Day 38: New Sneaky Redirect Test for webmention.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    This was a tricky one, spawned from when sebsel failed to discover the Webmention endpoint for one of Zegnat's posts. In that case, the Webmention endpoint was a relative URL and sebsel was sending a Webmention to a URL that was also an HTTP redirect.The new test, webmention.rocks #23, instructs you to send a Webmention to a URL that is a redirect, and that page advertises a relative URL endpoint. You'll need to make sure that the URL you pass to your relative URL resolver is the final URL after following the redirect, rather than the one you start with.So give it a shot! Test if your relative URL resolution code works properly!

    I've gone back and added spots. it's not quite as smooth. but it gets my most of the time well enough that I don't care

    @ansate So you can at least go back and add sleep later? That might be an okay compromise.
