    @aaronpk The short answer is that priority is for projects and up-next is for administrivia. So, for example, when I do a weekly review, I’ll prioritize working on three projects for the coming week, and I’ll add a next tag to a few tasks on single action lists (e.g. “drop off the rent cheque”, “make haircut appointment”, “clean the barbecue”).

    The long answer is that I should write a blog post. 😅

    Please do! That sounds really interesting.

    @aaronpk Yeah, what I’ve settled on for tasks in OmniFocus is three binary axes: priority/not-priority, due/not-due, up-next/backlog. So far so good. 👍

    Aaron Parecki
    Interesting. What's the difference between priority/not-priority and up-next/backlog?

    @aaronpk I like your custom filter, but I think I have to expand the due-date horizon slightly, since even when something is due today I often need a day or two to do the work to complete it.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah good point! I've been looking at the week view up until now so I'll probably expand the filter to maybe 3-5 days.

    @aaronpk @cygnoir I’d be very interested in how you differentiate p1 from p2 and p3! I’ve never had a solid rubric for that.

    Aaron Parecki
    Right now p1 is the only one I feel strongly about. I'll see if I keep using p2 and p3 as I described.

    @aaronpk This addresses something I have been struggling with for quite a while! Do you refrain from adding priority to tasks that are due on a particular day, or do you still add priority?

    Aaron Parecki
    We'll see how it pans out, but right now I don't think I will add a priority when there's a due date since the combined dashboard view gives me a list of both due dates and prioritized tasks.

    @aaronpk Your simplified article on OAuth2 was the first I found easy to understand, thanks for writing it! https://aaronparecki.com/articles/2012/07/29/1/oauth2-simplified

    My iOS Health database is filled with information now, and I think I’ve decided that my project for IndieWeb Summit will be to integrate HealthKit with my website. Collaborators welcome! Especially collaborators with iOS development experience! 👨🏻‍⚕️
    Aaron Parecki
    Looking forward to seeing what you can do with this!

    Disappointed that Ghost created a custom posting API instead of adopting Micropub, which is a W3C recommendation. It’s okay to have Ghost-only APIs as long as you start with standards as a baseline. Now we have fragmented client apps.

    Aaron Parecki
    I just saw that too :-( I understand that Micropub doesn't cover 100% of their use cases, but it would have been a great opportunity to improve the spec to cover more ground too!

    Just gave a fun little talk at the #writethedocs PDX 2019 unconference: Storytelling with Git.

    I’d love some suggestions of other events or contexts that might be a good place for this talk!

    BTW #writethedocs PDX 2019 is fantastic!

    Aaron Parecki
    another great place for this would be https://donutjs.club!

    @aaronpk Just using http://webmention.io and foolishly showed my user token during a live cast implementing it in my blog. Is there a way to renew tokens?
    Aaron Parecki
    Sorry I don't have a button for that but I can do it manually for you.

    But lots of people use that API key from JS so it's not necessarily meant to be a secret anyway. Let me know if you want me to change yours tho.

    Aaron, Can Granary.io also turn Twitter #topic streams into a feed? I seem to only see examples of personal twitter timeline—>feed. I never look at my timeline really, mostly have #topic columns alerts in my Tweetdeck columns e.g.

    Aaron Parecki
    Yes! Try the search feature in granary. The interface is a little confusing but that's what I use to follow hashtags at conferences

    which rule is that? curious so that I can translate that into the URL Rewrite module.
    Aaron Parecki
    I can never remember, but it's a pretty typical Laravel app so you can look for docs on how to set up a Laravel app in Apache or IIS!

    I finally have my sites up, though. Well, one of them, and I have to get an FTP account along with a subdomain for Aperture, but otherwise. @aaronpk, does that require a bunch of htaccess entries? I'm using #IIS.
    Aaron Parecki
    I haven't installed Aperture on anything except nginx myself, but it should only require one htaccess rule to get it going. Feel free to hop in the indieweb chat if you need help!

    @aaronpk That's interesting and kind of weird. I also tend to like black coffee, hoppy beers, strong greens, etc. (and spicy foods, although I would not eat a raw habanero!) -- but cilantro has tasted like soap to me for as long as I can remember, although tempering it with something acidic like a lot of lime juice seems to cut back on the Palmolive a lot.

    Aaron Parecki
    interesting, I might have to experiment with adding lime juice next time! Although actually maybe that explains why I haven't really noticed it before, because most of the time in the US I have cilantro on mexican tacos which often have lime juice, but this time it was a mild soup.

    @aaronpk i'm all for using grid, but <tr> is a 1D row element so there's no real difference w flexbox, is there? you could use align-items: stretch

    Aaron Parecki
    The problem is the <td>s. As display: table-cell, they can't also be flexbox containers to have the contents stretch to the full height of the cell. I need them to be display: flexbox, which means they can't be a table, so then I can use the grid to create the <tr> and flexbox again to contain the rows in the <table>
