Wow! I’m not sure how much we had but it poured for awhile!

Ohhh that makes sense. 👍 Colors approved of, then. Lol

I’m not surprised! Hotel beds can be a challenge and I don’t think our bed at home quite cuts it for Ashley (my wife) and baby! How long was the drive home?

One of these is not like the other… it drives me crazy seeing the color mismatch because of iWork! Haha

Looking nice!!! 👍

That’s excellent!!! 👏👏

Welcome! It takes a bit to find your groove, but it’s a great place to be! I started out by checking out the discover section daily and following people I found interesting, and then replying to their posts as a great workflow. (I still check the discover section daily)

Cool, that sounds good. Good to know it’s improved, if I feel like I need a change from Spark it’s good to know it’s a good option to try again.

Oh my!!! That’s crazy!!

What’s new about it that you like? I used it awhile ago, but went to Dispatch and most recently Spark has won me over.

Definitely!! 💯

Welcome to Micro.blog!! 👋

Oops something went wrong with my Bridgy syndication so there’s some missing bits to this convo. This issue is being closed because the issue is actually with webmention.io

See https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/21/5/ for more info

Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.

Yeah, that’s definitely happened. It’s trippy, isn’t it?

Hmm that’s a good question, I’ll use my Micro.blog hosted account to test that out, and see if there is an issue in Indigenous, Aperture or your set up and get back to you

I think it should work great for cleaning up sermon recordings. When I do microcasting with the Wavelength app, it sends it through auphonic and it sounds so much better after processing than before!

and… he’s nowhere to be seen! They’ve given us an inducement date of next week Friday, July 27th. He could still come anytime before then, but he doesn’t seem like he wants to!

Webmentions are great! I’ve been using them since 2017 and it’s changed the way I interact. I just wrote an article about how I got into Webmention and other IndieWeb technologies. Give it a read (https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/07/20/11/article/) and join us (https://indieweb.org/discuss)

That’s a great idea. I’m doing something similar. I’m in the process of leaving Facebook, so I created three topics (Personal, Family, Tech) that people could sign up for. I have a monthly email that sends posts that are of the topics the person is interested in.

aww thanks! 😁 wait until I finish work on my cats’ sites.

that’s actually the thing I love about your guys’ show. Makes me feel okay that I’m just trying to figure things out myself. Very human 💯

Less than an hour until we go check in with the OB and find out what next steps are… it’s the due date but Luke is in refusal to come out 🙂

Thanks! That’s great to hear, I definitely wanted to make sure onboarding was nice. The lack of button feedback is a strange bug… it should be changing color. The next update will have that fixed! Thanks for letting me know! Definitely send me any other thoughts you have on the app.

Last night I sat down to start writing a blog post… I quickly realized it needed more than one. Now I’m planning at least 4. You can read the first part now, and the others I’m planning on writing over the next week (or as much as I can write before my son is born)

Always the highlight of my week to listen to The Weekly Review! Can’t wait to listen!

That’s great, thanks! I don’t see a problem with it being part of the same issue. If someone else working on Vouch does, they’ll leave a comment in the issue. As Vouch is relatively new in actual implementation, it’s great to have as many eyes on it as possible

Let the rabbit hole take you in!! 🙃 I’m slightly kidding, but also serious. I embraced the rabbit hole a year and a half ago. Best thing I ever did tech-wise!

Those are some valid concerns. One thing I’d like to point out at the bottom of the spec is a link to Vouch, which is an anti-spam extension to Webmention that is in development (https://indieweb.org/Vouch)

Looks great!! 🤤

That’s great! Anything to help make sites easier to set up is a good thing!

I think it’s that way for two reasons: they want the home screen to remain “simple” and nested folders don’t feel “simple” and they haven’t bothered to have any write any home screen code in forever.

So I guess the question is, if the checksum fails, how do you fight it? Contact the bank? The restaurant?

if you decide to do it and have any questions, feel free to reach out. My website is powered by Node.js and I’ve built Node.js Slack integrations before.

The actual code itself wouldn’t be too different. The main challenge would be the node.js library itself, getting it running, maintaining the system, etc. the actual programming is pretty similar.

Those look delicious… I want to go get some strawberries now!!

I’ve been having this issue!! I’m gonna have to try this!!

That’s sad! If anywhere, not the tortillas!!

Haha! Yep! July’s should be pretty good too!

hmmm that’s really strange! Do you have the newest version of IndieAuth the plugin? It’s had to go through a lot of updates recently, but the newest version should work good.

Thanks 🙂 There’s a lot of improvements I want to make, but small steps are the best way to get there.

Thanks 😁😁

Great sign! I love how it has it in different languages and everything!

June’s Monthly Review was a bit late since we’re 2/3 through the month. 😆

Oh my, that’s crazy!!

Nope, not yet! He’s holding out. Haha. Due date is tomorrow, but he doesn’t seem eager to arrive. We’ll see what the doctor says at our routine appointment tomorrow.

Thanks 😁 I’ve wanted to actually get an app on the App Store for probably 5 years, so its an exciting milestone for me!

Thanks!! 😁

👏👏 let me know if you have any questions!

Testing my new JSON Feed with micro.blog… 🤞

Thanks! Pretty excited since it’s my first app in the App Store 😁

Yeah, that’ll be great! After IndiePaper for iOS is in the App Store, Ver 1.1 or 1.2 should have some X-url-callbacks so people can save to IndiePaper through Shortcuts without having to manually configure the token

Really excited that Indigenous has received 74 downloads 😲 Wow. I’m sure to some, that doesn’t seem like a lot, but it does seem like a lot to me! Still working on the next updates.

When you send a second webmention, Bridgy replies with: Sorry, you’ve already published that page, and Bridgy Publish doesn’t yet support updating or deleting existing posts.

It would help to add a “url” attribute that provides the url of the previous syndication. This would allow me to send webmentions for posts that had previously be syndicated and get the URL of that syndication into my system :)

I love that they are moving software updates into the preferences panel!! 👏

I would definitely recommend it. @schmarty is great, I’ve gone several times!

Carla brought focus and hard-work to the ThreatConnect team. It was a pleasure working with her as she always brought solutions for problems that arose. She was always pleasant to work with both eager to help out others (including me) and never shy to ask for help when she ran into a problem herself. Carla fits the definition of a team player which can so often be rare in the world of software engineering. Her leaving will be a loss for our team, and it would be a pleasure to work on the same team as her in the future.

🙂 I am sure their reporting is biased. But I think everyone is biased, even Rush. Doesn’t mean he’s wrong all the time, but it does mean he has a filter that colors how he sees and interprets things. But Trumps pretty explicit support of Russia seems hard to spin either way.

I work remotely, so I only go in once a quarter. Very cool! We’ll have to organize a Micro.blog meetup at some point to gather all the DMV Micro.bloggers

Hey! Yay for fellow Marylanders! I work at ThreatConnect in Arlington, VA.

Testing out a new homepage after thinking it through on my podcast. Definitely interested in any feedback you all have, it’s still a work in progress.

Here’s Castro’s URL as well: https://castro.fm/podcast/f0e304b9-c62f-4550-82be-e3a08dc0e21e

Looks great! I love the clean styling!

Watching ABC #worldnewstonight and extremely disappointed and saddened about the words and choices of the U.S. leadership.

Ohhhh cool!!

This is what I was talking about: https://monday.micro.blog/2018/07/16/eddiehinkle.html 🙂 I’ve wanted to be on a podcast that wasn’t just me talking to myself in a mic for awhile, so this was very exciting!

Oh wow, congrats! 23 years, that’s great!! Sorry to hear about the car, but hopefully you all can find a nice way to celebrate soon.

My pleasure 🙂

Super excited to be a guest on this week’s Micro Monday! Thanks for the great conversation and enjoyable time, @macgenie!

Interestingly it’s not new! 🤔 I looked on my computer when I saw this and it’s available in High Sierra.

Awesome, I’ll get this added to Indigenous’ Microsub help page! Thanks for helping create more Microsub Server options 😁

Webmention enables a LOT of possibilities, at the root it is just a decentralized notification from one website to another. Currently, the best and most common use case is social media style responses (replies, likes, emoji reactions, and listen posts).

Just read a really interesting article on Zillow’s business changes. First I had no idea about these changes, secondly this is an amazing breakdown of the changes and why they would happen and what it could mean for the real estate industry.

I enjoyed that too, although my favorites were Rampage and Galaga.

I just had s’mores tonight too!!

I remember those books! That’s a game based on the book??

Beautiful landscape, but wow what a long hike!

💯!! I loved it. So funny and engaging! I hope we see a lot more Marvel movies like this coming out soon.

And of course, Micro @monday should be on there as well 🙂

Great idea!!

Microcast Name: 30 and Counting Url: https://30andcounting.me User: @EddieHinkle

😉

Just saw that before I saw this and thought, “amazing!!!” 💯 great change!

Haha, awesome! 👏

Oops, not hyperlink…. https://micro.blog/discover/podcasts

This is the closest thing, which is just individual episodes, not overarching microcasts.

The ease of use was great! The person was a little confused by my exact question (it was if they recycled 1lb propane tanks), and answered about 20lb propane tanks. So I just called my local store 🙂 but I can see it becoming handy in certain cases

I am Team Logan 🙂

You should do it!! It can be intimidating but with Wavelength it’s really easy. Once you do it a couple of times, it becomes something that feels more comfortable.

That’s awesome! Great job 👍

Wow! That’s awesome. Totally adding that to my “if ever in Denmark” list.

That’s great to hear! 🙂 I need to get my wife to binge it with me, so I can re-watch the series and prep for it

Haha! That’s a great description! And yeah, I loved Enrico Colantoni! Their dynamic was one of the best aspects of the show! I never did see the Veronica Mars movie

I haven’t watched The Good Place, but I LOVED Veronica Mars!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Interesting! I’ve started trying to re-do my homepage the other day and so I started exactly this way. Added some header elements, text elements and divs to group things. I’m sure I will end up doing some more tweaks because I’m not yet happy with it, but it is an interesting experiment so far!

Interesting. I’m guessing the best way to handle that is to automatically remove any syndications that are activated but no longer returned from the syndication target config query.

My wife and I did really enjoy it when we were out there two years ago on vacation. It would be a drastic change to go from Maryland to LA, but who knows what the future holds. 🤞😬 I would be open to it, my wife however is an east coast girl at heart. Haha!

That’s a tough decision. I can see both sides. On one side, it’s not too difficult to add an “-x” to the properties in the Micropub servers. On the other side, it seems like leaving it the same until the standard is the simplest step.

Sorry I’m not much help, but I can understand the catch-22.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! That’s the worst ☹️

Oh my!! That’s amazing!

I definitely miss Hawai’i. I think it’s too far away to move back to, but I would love to end up in California at some point. Nice middle ground.m between Hawai’i and the rest of the mainland.

Definitely! Keep posting your thoughts so we can make them the best they can be!

Yes!! 💯

That’s awesome! Congrats!!

Thanks for writing this up. The standard is stable enough to be used daily but as you said, the features to make the apps (including Indigenous for iOS, which I am developing) excel are still in development. I’ve been able to implement some of what you mentioned (mark posts as read/unread), but others are still on my list of things to tackle (sorting, filtering, etc). I think two things are needed to get where we need to be: 1) all Microsub developers need to use it daily (I’m pretty sure we all do) and 2) People that try it out need to write blog posts just like this one so that we see where we need to improve and iterate.

Thanks for trying Microsub out. Hopefully it won’t be too long before it supports the features you need! 🙂

That’s awesome! But I’m scared of heights so no way that I could go up in it. I couldn’t even do the Eiffel Tower when I was in Paris!

@padraig I’m loving Castro 3! Switching to Castro and using the Queue system has revolutionized my podcast listening! Question: any plans for CarPlay support?

Great episode! I think it’s a great idea having some new user orientation. I also think when they sign in and don’t have a timeline of users that they follow, you could mention that and then provide the current discover feed. So essentially instead of getting a blank timeline, they are provided with a temporary feed to find people to follow. Kind of like how Twitter has you “select people to follow”, but instead of doing it based on popularity, they can do it based on the content provided. Feels very Micro.blog-ish

Awesome congrats! I have 3 in operation at my house with 3 more waiting for me to get lamps to put them in. I enjoy them a lot, but I do want to buy a HomeKit button soon to give some real world tactile feedback.

😁 I just got finished with a fun new experience. I’ll share more in a couple of days

Ohhh interesting. That cool. I was picturing a sci-fi thing, like the Enertron from Chrono Trigger. 😆

Thanks 😁

That. Looks. Amazing! What game is it??

What a great idea @manton! I really like how it shows the people you aren’t following. For some reason that didn’t occur to me but I think it hits the nail on the purpose of the feature.

What is a sleeping pod??

Sleeping cats are the best cats!

⚾️ Game over! Frederick Keys List! 13-12. So close!

⚾️ Inning #11 both teams scored 2 points for a total of 11-11. Onto #12!

⚾️ Inning #10 both teams scored 3 points each. Still tied. The Frederick Keys had a narrow miss as they had someone running to Home from 3rd when the 3rd our cut that point short!! Into inning #11

⚾️ Final inning, Frederick Keys were 2 behind and caught up, getting a tie, 6-6. Onto Inning 10 🤞

Yeah, that price drop makes it a much different decision!

Oh wow! I’ve been thinking about getting an August Smartlock too! That’s a great tip!!

Hmmm, I’ve been looking at a couple of “minimalist” blogs, and there’s something about them that I like. I definitely want to make my site feel simplified and cleaner but since my site also has podcasts, photos, and watch/listen posts I’m thinking about what a minimalist version of those items would look like 🤔

Good luck! Hope it’s not too tiring!

That’s really cool!

Awesome, welcome! 👏

In adventures setting of my Eeros, so far with just the center Eeros WiFi node, seems to be behaving normally compared to with the Comcast router. The main difference being that my Apple TV in my office changed from 57mbps to 179mbps. Next up: install my first beacon.

Awesome, great job! I just grilled Shrimp for the first time this past week! It’s always fun trying new experiences, especially when they turn out well.

Those fuzzy swan babies are adorable!

A great perspective, thanks Colin!

Awesome! 🙂 I’ve done similar things before. Good luck!

I think Dark Mode is coming with the UI refresh, so I’m guessing it got pushed back to next year.

Congrats!!! I’m looking forward to hearing more about it!

Was that required or just how you felt like presenting your resume?

[@manton](undefined) I don’t think a master list is helpful. Although one alternative middle ground could potentially be a list of all “2nd level associations”, so instead of showing me everyone that “Bob” follows and everyone “Jill” follows, if those lists were joined into the list of people that my list I follow, follows, that could essentially do what the original lists are trying to do without showing as much individual information. Good luck, @manton 🙂 I’m sure you have much to think about

Oh wow, that’s a really interesting idea!!

It’s interesting thinking about emotions and how we feel about a thing. I currently rate my mood once a day in Exist, but I’ve been thinking about tracking this on my website 3x a day, and using emoji to quantify that. I do feel like there is something to be said for having a gradient of 3-5 emojis that can express how you feel about something (whether about a post or about your day)

Yeah, I think from the micro.blog side of things it makes sense to hide it from the UI. From the IndieWeb side of things, I think over the next year we’ll see expansion into follower lists to help readers, recommendations and the vouch system. For this reason, I think data wise keeping the full follower list is important.

Adorable ❤️

My pleasure! 😁

In fact, that reply (and this reply) was sent into Micro.blog system via webmention from my website.

Hey there! M.b does support webmentions, just not 100%. There are definitely more improvements @manton can (and has expressed a desire) to make. Unfortunately, every feature has to be prioritized 🙂 This has the current info on what is working for webmentions: http://help.micro.blog/2017/webmention/
