  • Maniac May Mornings

    At the end of March, I finished my #100DaysOfIndieWeb and #100DaysOfMusic projects. It was a lot of fun to focus on those during the winter months, but I'm also glad to free up my days now that they are done. It turns out 100 days is a lot of days, and I don't think I'll do such a hard #100days project again. However I did enjoy the focus I was able to achieve, and enjoyed knowing every day what I needed to work on. So for the month of May, I'm starting a new, slightly different experiment.

    I got a late start again today because of the morning W3C call. The call goes from 8-9am, tho sometimes runs late, and there's usually a bunch to follow up on with individual people after the call. I didn't end up getting started until noon!

    This morning I worked on finishing the first two websub.rocks tests for hubs! I managed to finish them pretty much on schedule for the morning. Now you can test whether your hubs send WebSub notifications that are properly formatted! Superfeedr and Switchboard both pass the tests, and I filed an issue for Mastodon's built-in hub which should bring it up to spec.

    I started later than I wanted to this morning, because I got distracted with something else first thing. I'm going to have to get better about jumping straight into these projects in the morning.

    I managed to get a start at an acceptable time this morning! I focused on finishing the websub.rocks tests for subscribers. I pushed a little longer than I had originally wanted to, but I was really close to wrapping up all the tests and figured it'd be better to just finish. I'm happy to say that the tests for subscribers are complete now, including the template implementation report!

    This morning I had a W3C phone conference for the new Social Web Incubator Community Group, so I didn't get started on Maniac Morning until the late afternoon. I ended up at a coffee shop with a nice back patio and made some good progress on websub.rocks!

  • Maniac Morning May 4

    I am on the fence about whether to count today's sprint towards this goal. I started this morning by diving into catching up on accounting in my 3 Quickbooks files, which is something I've been trying to get better about doing regularly since I finally filed my taxes on time for the first time in 6 years. I spent a little over 2.5 hours on the accounting, and managed to get all caught up. (Of course I didn't screenshot that for obvious reasons.) So on that front, it was a successful morning. However, it was also over 80 degrees today which is way hotter than my comfort level and we don't have A/C in the apartment. This led to a relatively unproductive afternoon, and I never got enough energy up to do anything more creative. So on that front, I didn't make progress on my more interesting projects today. Overall, at least I have another data point to reaffirm that I am definitely more productive in the mornings!

    This is not what I intended to do for Maniac Mornings, but I had already been booked to record the talks at CSVConf before I started this project, so I'm posting this anyway. I spent the whole day Tuesday and Wednesday at the conference filming up in the balcony.

    This morning I worked on the websub.rocks test suite, and wrote a helper library for creating a WebSub client.
