    I just launched the ability to create "review" posts in Quill, and added support for displaying them in p3k. p3k adds the additional mf1 classes required for the review to show up in Google results as a "rich snippet", although the Google crawlers haven't made it over to my site yet since launching the change.

    In the process of adding both mf2 (h-review) and mf1 (hReview) markup to my review posts, it demonstrated that there are some serious issues with the mf2 parsers and how they handle backcompat mf1 markup. Here's an example of my post being parsed by the PHP, Python, and Node parsers:

    • PHP
    • Node
    • Python

    The Python parser is the only one even close to correct, although it has added a child h-card based on an mf1 object.

    I've opened issues on the corresponding repos to try to get these fixed.

    • Python parser
    • Node parser
    • PHP parser

    In the mean time, my apologies if these review posts appear super broken in whatever reader you're using!

    So this is actually kind of an amazing little monitor. 13" and thinner than my laptop, real 1080p, and super sharp and bright! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • Marantz NR1605 Receiver

    2 out of 5
    Network resets periodically, making Spotify Connect nearly useless
    Marantz NR1605 Receiver Aaron Parecki 2016-02-17T11:25:00-08:00 permalink
    First let me start with the good parts. I really wanted to like this product. The slim form factor is great, and it has more than enough ports for everything I need. Setup was easy, and everything worked great at first.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the Spotify Connect feature. I hadn't used it on any device before. It's neat because the receiver streams the music directly from Spotify, you can still control it from your phone or computer, but if your phone or computer disconnect, the music keeps playing.

    However, every 30-60 minutes, the network connection of the receiver would reset, and the music would be interrupted. The device would go into the "reconnecting" mode for 30 seconds or so while it established a network connection again, and then I would have to re-connect Spotify and tell it to play the song again. I tried both the wired and wireless connections of the receiver, tried DHCP and static IP addresses, but nothing would solve the issue. I checked for firmware updates but there were none available. I contacted Marantz support, but they also had no other suggestions.

    Ultimately I ended up returning the device after about 20 days of the problem continuing. I am not certain whether this is a firmware issue, or a rogue problem with the specific refurbished device I had. At this point I am unwilling to risk it with another Marantz model and am going to try a Yamaha instead.

    Amazon Echo Aaron Parecki 2015-06-23T08:11:59-07:00 permalink

    I've had the Echo for a few months now, and despite being skeptical of voice control in general, have been pleasantly surprised by Alexa!

    Realistically, I haven't found all of the promoted features as useful as they try to make them appear. So far, it has been most useful for:

    • setting timers while cooking, so I don't have to fiddle with the crummy interface on my microwave with my hands covered in goo
    • turning off lights after I'm in bed
    • setting an alarm for the morning
    • asking "what's the weather" while I'm getting dressed
    • adding things to my grocery list
