Include weather info in location records

Right now, the process of getting weather info into my posts involves an extra step I would like to avoid. I would also like if my GPS logs contained weather info themselves, to avoid having to link up an external dataset to correlate that info.

@aaronpk Hi Aaron! Manton pointed me to webmention.io and I wondered if you would be able to clarify how/if I could use it within the limitations of a Wordpress.com-hosted site. Is that possible? Any help appreciated.

Do you have the ability to add custom HTML on wordpress.com? You'd need to be able to add the <link> tag to your site's header, as described on https://webmention.io

You'll then need to write some Javascript to pull the comments into the page and render them.

Any tips on quantifying goals to track progress? Drawing more, studying front end dev, learning subject x, and so forth?

For encouraging short-term progress on long-term goals I would definitely recommend @bmndr!

@chet We are going to add more header/footer customization soon. You can do some things with CSS too.

You could probably sneak in an image via CSS that way, yea!

@aaronpk Those badges should really have alt attributes to make them accessible to people with disabilities, too. Let’s create an indieweb for all! :-D

You're right! I'll update my examples.

@aaronpk here is a quick and dirty svg version of the badge

That *is* quick and dirty! If you're going to embed the png in the svg then you might as well also set the image-rendering attribute to "pixelated"!

@aaronpk Thanks Aaron, I'm glad it works. I understand the tiers of checking, but I've posted quite a few photos the last couple of days. That's why I was surprised to see how long it takes. Would it be a big hurdle to take your code and install it for myself so I can make it more realtime for my own needs?

It's not too hard to set up if you're familiar with deploying PHP apps already. You'll need to set up the cron jobs described in the readme. I also just updated it so new users will start out at the top tier (every 15 minutes)

Right now the client_id is set to "together.com" which is not where the app is launched! This also means any time I post from it my site is linking to together.com when it credits the app!

My newwwyear goal is to add the current weather based on my current location to all of my posts and to have better post context (likes, replies, bookmarks, etc) based on using my local copy of XRay to parse for information.

I can't wait to see this! This has been on my list forever! I even have a massive database of the historical weather data for my location that I've been collecting for this purpose. I might have to add this as a stretch goal for myself this week!

My #newwwyear goal is to make my Micropub endpoint POSSE my likes and reposts to Twitter when I like a tweet URL. Right now, Quill handles that for me, so when I "like" a tweet URL from my browser, it also gets liked on Twitter. Now that I'm using the Indigenous iOS app more, I'm missing that step so when I "like" a tweet from my phone, it doesn't actually like it on Twitter. Getting my Micropub endpoint to handle the forwarding to Twitter will solve it, and thankfully I can use https://silo.pub instead of dealing with the Twitter API.

I finished early! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/12/27/15/auto-posse-likes

I’m considering buying a microphone for voice recording. Not too expensive but solid quality. Any recommendations? My current favorite is the Røde NT-USB, optionally with a spider shock mount.

I like the Apogee MiC cause it's so small and can connect to both a laptop and iPhone/iPad. That's what I use for my podcast right now.

Oh, haha. Yeah, some formatting from bridge could be improved, but I'm just whining at that point :). I can follow up here after Christmas if you want additional help in making /social bridge work. Would love to participate in socialcg but already have like 5 chat applications...

If you have any suggestions for the Slack bridge, feel free to file issues here: https://github.com/aaronpk/Slack-IRC-Gateway

I'll check with the #social folks to make sure everyone's okay with it, but it's easy for me to run the bridge for that channel too.

I'm in the Indieweb Slack bridge. Wonder if it's possible to bridge the /social into a Slack room? Also there's lots of botspam on that server overall that makes it hard to read (Loqi is cool, but I mostly want to talk to humans :p)

I could see about bridging that room to Slack too.

That botspam is actually all the people on IRC talking. There was a Slack iOS bug fixed a few days ago that made everything look like it was coming from Loqi.

I need to setup an IRC bridge so that I can participate in these chats without having to use an ugly, confusing IRC client... #millenial #problems

I hear all the cool kids like Matrix. You can also at least read the logs here https://chat.indieweb.org/social

bets on whether aaronpk makes it back to Portland tonight? I'm still on BART and my flight boards in 6 minutes

Made it! Got to security 5 minutes after boarding started, but no line for pre-check!

The iMac Pro looks great. I’m still laptop-only, though, so not tempted at all. It’s gonna be popular for video folks and developers.

That does look nice! I've been laptop-only since about 2010, not sure what it would take to make me switch back, but this is tempting. Tho I'm sure once I see the price I'll drop that thought quickly.
