Day 75 - Dark

Day 75. I used more complex samples than I normally like to, as a shortcut to build up this much sound. (I didn't get started until really late today and needed to do something quickly). I added a few of my own instruments on top though, and tried to give it some shape other than just what came with the original sounds. I kind of want this one to keep going for a while longer!

Day 75: Improvements to the Webmention Wiki Page #100DaysOfIndieWeb

I've been feeling like the Webmention page on the IndieWeb wiki doesn't do a very good job of explaining what Webmention does for users, and jumps too quickly into spec details. I would like to be able to direct people at this page when I am talking to them online about what Webmention can do, which often means what I am trying to show them is how Webmention can be used to display comments and other interactions on a website. Today I started to make some incremental improvements.

Well? Are there?

@isaac32767 It wasn't meant to be a clickbait headline, I'm actually legit asking!

Are there any security implications of a website knowing whether you have the 1password browser extension installed?

This page will find out whether you have the extension installed, and it could send that information back to my server.

Type something into the box below.

Sorry it's intentionally obfuscated in a (perhaps paranoid) attempt to avoid it being used to 'host' nefarious text..

@theosanderson I just figured out the encoding scheme 😂🔐👍

@theosanderson oh I guess that makes sense. I was wondering if it's a huffman-like lookup table or more like base64 encoding.

@theosanderson What's the URL encoding scheme you use for the #upgoerfive editor? I see the text is encoded in the URL but it's not base64

Day 74 - Amaretto

Day 74. I started with the piano and layered stuff over it until I felt "done". There's a 4-part choir, a solo violin, and 6 french horns. The video is me recording the piano track, I liked that the two parts overlapped but never actually hit any of the same notes.

Day 74: Added a Chat Widget to my Website! #100DaysOfIndieWeb

A couple weeks ago, sknebel asked whether anyone in the #indieweb channel had a chat widget on their website. I used to have a form you could fill out and it would send me an SMS to my candybar phone, and a little while after that I had a prototype of a chat widget that disappeared somewhere along the way. I thought it would be fun to resurrect that idea!

Boxes of crap go on sale in three hours. I will be asleep. When I wake up, I have to go buy all your crap.

@obra oh no, I misread your original post and thought you meant 1pm Pacific time! Are they really all sold out now?
