Working on expiring tokens for the WordPress IndieAuth endpoint. This would be a breaking change, as currently, tokens issued by the endpoint never expire. This is a security concern, if you keep issuing tokens without ever expiring them. With the new system, you can renew a token, or even disable expiry in the admin if you need a long-lived token. There is a way to have the client get new tokens regularly that I could implement, but currently no client supports it.

94 Years Ago Today, Charles A. Levine became the first transatlantic air passenger. Levine, certainly a largely imperfect character, has been largely forgotten by history.
Waiting for the Doo Wop Project’s Drive In event… they filled every other spot in the parking lot… big stage… spots in between are for sitting.
In November 2018, we went to Orlando to perform the Parkeology Challenge. We came close, but did not succeed. We had always hoped to try again, but illness, as well as the pandemic restricting travel, had pushed it off. Now one of the team is no longer with us(the one who took the photo).
I’ve never been particularly good at speaking of those who have gone, and the stories I might choose to tell are probably would not do justice to the memory.
There is little to say when someone is taken from their friends and loved ones too soon. When we were kids, he, being a few years older, was primarily my brother’s friend, but we all did things together…our families frequently got together. It is hard to accept I will not see him again.
The best I can think of to do that would please him is to finish this one thing we never completed someday.
Looking at my ADS-B receiver…lot more planes in the sky lately. Recovery?
Just began a major reorganize at of my apartment, as I’ve been here very little in the last year. This will take weeks to complete. Anyone have any advice?
Just a few updates from the last week.
- Updated the Parse This library to optionally flatten the location parameter, as Indigenous and other Microsub readers do not recognize a nested location parameter.
- Fixed a Simple Location issue where it was not setting the location taxonomy on Micropub post.
- Simplified some of the Location interfaces
- Minor bug fixes.
It is Pi Day again, March 14th or 03-14. While arbitrary, I’d like to take a moment to appreciate the Raspberry Pi, the small single board computer that launched a lot of great hobbyist projects. While it running off a microSD is incredibly frustrating at times, it is really easy way to play with small dedicated computing.
Home Sweet Home
Haven’t posted on Facebook since June 10, 2018 because it doesn’t allow me to link back to my own site. Someone created a tool that might allow that again, so testing it with this post to see if I can pull back responses.
As I’ve been backfilling weather on old posts on my site, I’ve also been fixing photo markup so that old photos will show up in the photo grid I added not long ago at /kind/photo. You can also look by year by adding the year to the end of the URL(/2020 or such). May add some links.
WordPress allows for custom archive templates. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to change the archive for my photo posts to show them in a photo grid. So, I’ve now done that at /kind/photo. You have to click the photo to see the full context, but I like the presentation of all photos I’ve posted. This does not include photos in other types of posts, but it’s probably the most visual item I’ve put out in a while. I hope it causes me to post more photos.
Coming up on the 25th is the IndieWebCamp Create Day. This is an online event where people will work on projects while sharing in a common Zoom room, so they can collaborate with others, or just bounce ideas and feel togetherness. People are invited to demo to others what they worked on. If you have no other plans that day, why not join us for a little while, or a long while.
I like this much better than a coach seat.
In my bedroom on the Autotrain…they are putting the train together. After that, we get into Sanford FL just before 9am tomorrow.
