    This seems like a good time to re-read @hertling's book Kill Process, in which the protagonist, a database programmer at the world's largest social network, decides to destroy the company by decentralizing social networking #indieweb http://amzn.to/2FWgmUc

    Just set up @ExistApp to pull my caffeine/alcohol (https://aaronparecki.com/drank) and bike rides (https://aaronparecki.com/rides) from my website! Was a relatively painless experience parsing the Microformats on my website and converting to API requests!

    Just made Aperture download a cached copy of avatars and other media it finds in posts! Now the images will always be available over https, and images from old posts won't disappear!

    If you're running your own copy of Aperture, it'll take an extra step of setting up a subdomain to serve the images from the storage folder. They're not served from the main domain for security reasons.

    Posting GitHub issues from my site makes my day permalinks look much less sad on days I spend a lot of time on the computer. #indieweb

    Just implemented mp-destination on my site! I can connect multiple Micropub or Twitter accounts to my site to be able to post to other accounts from Micropub clients when I'm logged in as me. This is the first step of turning Monocle into more of a Tweetdeck-like experience!

    Fun side effect of using https://granary.io and Aperture to follow conference hashtags is I end up with a private archive of all the tweets! #indieweb #microsub

    It's so nice to be able to go downtown and back in an evening and still have 60% battery. #tinyvictories #newbattery

    ah jeez, Nest changed the mounting bracket and power adapter between their 2014 and 2018 models, so now I have to go rewire this instead of just swapping it out.

    omg. I remember when these were going around physical mail, like "mail $5 in an envelope," I can't believe it's "send $150 on Venmo" now 😱💸◬ https://medium.com/@juliaonken/the-gen-z-pyramid-scheme-sweeping-instagram-e6d53e0e2b46

    Minor flaw in this plan to get to Baltimore super cheap... it involves staying up 3 hours later than normal to catch the midnight redeye flight.

    Got a free first class upgrade again despite losing my status for 2018, but it's just to Seattle so I get to enjoy a whole 35 minutes of it. #whiningontheyacht

    Sometimes I turn on my Bluetooth headphones and they say "Connected to Aaron's MacBook Pro," but that computer is definitely on standby and not plugged in to power.

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.
