Minor updates to php-comments library:

• Handles like-of and other properties when they are an embedded h-cite object (#6)
• Fixes truncating the name property in certain cases (#5)

Have you ever wondered what other songs used the same chord progression? This is kind of an amazing site that will tell you: http://www.hooktheory.com/trends

Pretty sure Spotify's Discover Weekly works specifically because of the constraint they set up for themselves. It's updated once a week, and there is a finite number of songs in the list. With other services, people turn on the "recommended" station and expect an infinite stream of music that they will like.

Thinking about ways to ease myself back in to writing music and avoiding the creative blocks I was hitting before.

Current thought is to write a series called "bad *" where each song focuses on only one attribute, and I just do the bare minimum on everything else. Possible titles include "bad choir", "bad horns", "bad swing", "bad dubstep", "bad movie trailer".

I call it "bad *" because if it has "bad" in the name I won't worry about making it good and will be more likely to actually finish it.

Made a batch of "Sorta Secret Aardvark Sauce" from http://forums.egullet.org/topic/128657-sorta-secret-aardvark-sauce-habenero-hot-sauce/ last week, it came out pretty good! Not quite the same as Secret Aardvark sauce but still tasty. I ended up using only half the amount of rice vinegar, and it definitely did not come out too thick.

Next time, I want to try it without the curry powder since I think that's what's contributing most to the difference in taste. I also want to add a little citric acid and xanthan gum.

It always annoys me when I hear a cover of "Take Five" that's in 4/4 time. I mean come on, that was the whole point.

Great post by @CaseyNewton on how Slack changed the @xoxo experience this year! http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/18/9349425/slack-future-of-conferences-xoxo-festival

Sometimes I get crap cause I still use PHP. I like to remind people of a few popular PHP sites: Facebook, Flickr, Wordpress, Slack

The replies in this thread are a nice reminder that there are good people on the Internet too. https://twitter.com/anildash/status/643988157734764545

@particle all the projects.particle.io pages are in infinite redirect loops! Can't see any of the pages!

Great to see so many old friends, great to meet so many new friends. Best #xoxofest yet!

Just launched the French version of IndieNews, translation by @xtof_fr! http://news.indiewebcamp.com/fr

Why are we watching two dudes play 3D frogger on stage? I thought this was 2015

Hey I know that photo! @kalmar @doctorow http://boingboing.net/2015/09/09/dear-internet-of-things-human.html

@xtof_fr I just launched multi-language support for http://news.indiewebcamp.com! Any chance you'd want to contribute a French translation?

Even more changes to IndieNews!

• You can submit things by tagging them with "http://news.indiewebcamp.com/"; (similar to a http://indiewebcamp.com/person-tag)
• Launched language-specific home pages, with translations of the interface! There is a separate German and Swedish feed you can submit things to! (Feel free to offer a translation for other languages too)

Just launched a bunch of changes to http://news.indiewebcamp.com which will hopefully make it easier to use!

• No longer requires constructing the IndieNews URL before hand, now you can just send a webmention to the home page. (The permalink is returned in the webmention response)
• Removed upvoting and ranking of stories, and the front page always shows the newest stories first.
• You can submit links from other peoples' websites by syndicating a bookmark post! http://indiewebcamp.com/bookmark

This also means subscribing to the home page in a reader should work better!

Let me know what you think!
