  • Day 53 - Epic Trailer

    Day 53. Epic trailer music! I had fun with layering a bunch of orchestra instruments with a choir and several kinds of drums and cymbals. This needed a video more fun than the FInal Cut animations so I found some creative commons drone footage on Vimeo by Stephane Ma. https://vimeo.com/133415675

  • Day 52: First client test for Micropub.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Today I implemented the first client test for Micropub.rocks. This means Micropub.rocks acts as a Micropub server, expecting certain parameters from the client. The first test is a simple test of creating an h-entry with text content. The test describes what it expects, and when the client makes the Micropub POST request, the post is rendered in realtime.

    Day 52. The goal of this one is background music for a trailer or at the end of a TV episode. The build-up and tension at the end is what I've been noticing TV music does, where it resolves but doesn't quite resolve. The video is from morrisey.com's drone footage of the Oregon Coast.

    I'm pretty pleased with this little bit of UI I just added to micropub.rocks.

  • Day 51: Authorization Server for Micropub.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Today I implemented the authorization server for Micropub.rocks. This means it's now possible to sign in to Micropub.rocks from a Micropub client such as Quill.

  • Day 51 - Logo

    Day 51. After a full day of networking events and meetings, I didn't get started on this until I got home at 8:30pm. I wanted to do something short, so I figured I would do more of an "audio logo" rather than a full "song". It turns out that making a 15-second sound doesn't actually end up taking significantly less time than a minute-long more song-like song, I still spent an hour on this. It was an interesting experiment though!

  • Day 50: OAuth for Micropub.rocks #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    Continuing the work on the micropub.rocks client tests, today I worked on the OAuth server so that you can sign in to Micropub clients to post to the test account. Aside from providing the actual sign-in functionality, I also want this to provide helpful error messages and walk you through setting the parameters to build the authorization request.

  • Day 50 - Voices

    Day 50. I'm officially half way done! This one is inspired by Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummers Dance". I used a few different samples of Bulgarian voices from the EastWest "Voices of Passion" set. You might also notice the reverse-piano sound a couple times. I used a mix of the drum track generator plus myself playing the bongo track on the keyboard to get a good mix of percussion.

  • Day 49 - Floating

    Day 49. The opening sound is a reversed piano chord that starts with a tight EQ in the middle and opens up as it builds. I used that sound a couple more times in the song. After getting the piano chords down, I layered a few strange sounds on top for effect.

  • Day 48: Switching to Full Page Load "next" Paging #100DaysOfIndieWeb

    For some reason, some of the time I've noticed that my "load more" links load completely the wrong content. These links previously would load the next page inline, and render the new content without a page load. I liked this as a compromise between traditional full pageload paging and infinite scroll. However, I've been seeing it behave strangely the last week or two, sometimes loading duplicate content, or the page scrolling strange after clicking it.
