Trying to use emoji in my slides and I have some questions:

1) why is there no "window" emoji
2) why is there a floor lamp in the couch 🛋 emoji
3) why is there only a lightbulb 💡 on, but not off

for april 1 next year I think I'm going to change the oauth.net home page to show just a login page that asks you to type in your google username and password and see what happens 😎

It seems to be socially acceptable to watch videos on your phone with the sound turned on in public places like restaurants and cafes in Memphis. I've seen *so many* people of all ages here doing it, and nobody seems to complain. Is this a regional thing?

welp, the rumors were true, Google did in fact buy FitBit: https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/1/20943318/google-fitbit-acquisition-fitness-tracker-announcement

I *want* to switch to an Apple watch, but I can't until it has built-in automatic sleep tracking like the FitBit does!

If Google buys FitBit, I'm quitting and finally getting an Apple watch. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fitbit-m-a-alphabet-exclusive/exclusive-google-owner-alphabet-in-bid-to-buy-fitbit-sources-idUSKBN1X71NY

me: "someone is wrong on the internet!"

also me: tries to find out why this person might be misinformed and track down the root cause to help more people not get confused again later

also also me: this sounds like a lot more work than writing an angry comment

I just realized how outrageous my schedule is the next few days:

Fri: ✈️ ZRH➡PDX
Sat: 🔐 Speaking at BSidesPDX
Sun: 💤
Mon: 🖋 Publish blog post
Tue am: 🔐 OAuth office hours
Tue pm: 🎥 Filming Donut.js
Wed: ✈️ back on the road

Why do I do this to myself

Come hang out with me and my @oktadev coworkers at our virtual office hours next week! 💻 You can get all your OAuth questions answered live!

My todo list in @Todoist got so long that I started a new one for a specific project in Notes and it's been working great.

Not sure if this speaks more to the usability of Todoist or my own organizational skills.

Currently on the plane to Zurich and wow I forgot how much of an accent Swiss German is! 🇨🇭

Getting a head start on IndieWebCamp Brighton hack day! If you are on any page on my website and enter the Konami code, you will get a very small surprise. 😆

I'm not gonna say JSON Web Tokens are *bad* (if used properly), but I'm also not gonna say they're *great* either.

Here's an interesting alternative though: PASETO

A thing I started doing: instead of recording my full workshops, I set a voice memo recorder on the podium, and when someone has a question, I press record, repeat the question, and then answer it. Now my recorder is full of Q&A that I can incorporate back into the presentation!

Do I know anyone in Zurich? I'm gonna be there next week and I have a free evening! Drinks are on me! 🍻🏔

If you've noticed https://OwnYourGram.com has been not working well lately, that's because Instagram is aggressively rate limiting certain requests.

I just updated it so that you can give it the URL of an individual photo and it will import it for you. Importing individual photos avoids a lot of the rate limiting issues so should work a lot better now.

If you've been missing some of your latest photos, feel free to log in and manually import them now!

I spent literally the entire day today on the couch with my cat 😻

and I'm pretty okay with that tbh

It took almost 4 hours, but I finally moved everything from Gogs to Gitea. The migration path was not entirely smooth due to a combination of things, but I'm reasonably confident it is actually working now. Hopefully nothing unexpected surfaces later when I've forgotten everything I've done today.
