Last week I sat down with @nbarbettini to answer some questions about what's going on with the @OAuth_2 Implicit flow. #oauth 🎥➡ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHzERullHe8 -
This book by @anomalily definitely helped me get a handle on my money situation. 💵 You should have seen me before. 🙈 And now her Kickstarter for the second print run is just shy of the $10,000 stretch goal! Let's get it over the top! 🚀

Alright, if you are curious about "Sign In with Apple," I walk through exactly how it works and what it looks like in this post.

Initial test of the "Sign in with Apple" API:
• It's more or less based on OAuth + OIDC
• Their documentation is missing a lot of key info to use it right now, I had to guess at a lot of things
• The `sub` claim includes some sort of unique user identifier, not an email -
To anyone who thought partial redirect URL matching in @OAuth_2 is "good enough," read this thread. Complete Periscope account takeover just by viewing a tweet. https://hackerone.com/reports/110293 #oauth

I realized I was setting arbitrary due dates on my todo list as a way to prioritize tasks so they'd show up in order of importance, but it turns out that's a terrible technique.
I just did a major refactoring of my Todoist and now I'm using priority 1/2/3 tags for that, and due dates only when a task is really due that day.
I'm still figuring out exactly how to use the priorities, here's what I've got so far:
• p1 - this is top priority, I should do things in this list as soon as possible
• p2 - things that I want top of mind, but can wait until things in p1 are done
• p3 - sort of a catch-all when I want something to bubble up a bit quicker than if it has no priority tag
I also switched my main view in Todoist to a custom filter that shows me:
• tasks due today
• priority 1 tasks not due today
• overdue tasks
I'm going to try to stick to this view as my primary view instead of clicking on the "Today" tab.

I decided to set up a URL shortener on my short domain, aaronpk.com, thanks to some recent discussion in the IndieWeb chat.
I found an open source project that is basically exactly what I would have built if I had built my own: https://polrproject.org/
The installation wasn't seamless, but I'm familiar enough with the tech it's built on so I managed to get it set up. I also made one modification to it, which is that if you type in a short URL that doesn't exist, it redirects to the same path on aaronparecki.com, so that all my regular pages now automatically have a short URL.
This is definitely a lot nicer than my previous solution of adding URLs to a text file. -
Yesterday there was cilantro in my soup, and suddenly it tasted so much like soap that I couldn't eat it.
Over the last few months, I've noticed that cilantro has started tasting bad, but didn't really think much of it. I looked up the food sensitivity list of people who also think cilantro tastes like soap, and now I am super confused, because most of these are my favorite flavors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster#Specific_food_sensitivities
• Gins, tequilas, and hoppy beers are my favorite
• I eat brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale all the time
• I am a huge fan of coffee, always unsweetened
• grapefruit juice is a staple in my fridge
• I make my own tonic with quinine so that I can make it less sweet and more bitter than normal
• I enjoy ridiculously spicy foods, and I eat raw habaneros for breakfast every morning
So why is cilantro the one that tastes bad to me? And why did this change? I used to enjoy cilantro! I didn't think this sensitivity was something that could change in people over time. -
Post-IndieWebCamp hacking continues at the hotel bar! Made a few more minor improvements to Monocle:
• Defaults to "https" when you type in a domain, and if that fails, will fall back to http, rather than the other way around
• Added a logout button
• Added mobile screenshots to the wiki
• Updated the indieauth-client-php library to bubble up things like ssl errors so that apps using the library can report errors better -
The map below will show where I am for the next 6 hours!
