Kind: Notes

short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title

In 21 days, I am set to spent nearly two months living in a strange city out of a hotel room. The hotel room has a kitchenette. To make a hotel room like home, what should I bring? Both tech, entertainment, etc.

Version 4.2.0 of Syndication Links was released today. This version refactors the site to icon mapping to try to improve accuracy. It also includes:

  •  Adds support for generating a custom feed to syndicate to Micro.blog and pull back the links to your posts
  • Add support for Bridgy Mastodon, courtesy of Charlotte Allen
  • Visual enhancements to the Syndication metabox in the post editor, courtesy of Caspar Hübinger

And the usual miscellaneous bug fixes

 

I have always thought the TSA should get Disney Imagineering to design their checkpoints. They really know how to set up a queue. Catchy music, theming… maybe a people mover.

When I leave the country, I find streaming services don’t always work. So as I do other stuff, I’ve been ripping my physical media so I can have some entertainment if I need it. I have started, for some reason, with my box set of I Love Lucy.

 For IndieWebCamp Berlin 2 2019, I built this proof of concept feature in the WordPress Admin. It does actually work, but the functionality that enables the posting needs a lot more backend work before it will work properly.

Problem is that the WordPress post endpoint does not allow you to set a taxonomy during post creation, so I need a custom endpoint. If I need one, it needs to be a bit more fleshed out so I can use it.

I considered modifying the Micropub endpoint to accept local queries and sending everything in Micropub, but a custom endpoint seems simpler for what is being done.
