Trying to flash some boards with new firmware. Holes too small. Internet suggested sewing needles. Didn’t have any. Borrowed some from parents. They came from Shopwells…which ceased to be in 1986. Clearly we don’t sew much. Needles worked though. 1 board down, 10 to go.

I heard some social networks were down. As long as I have my website, my social network is always running. If you’re interested, join the #indieweb community on Wed at 6PM PST/9PM EST for Homebrew Website Club, this weekend for Create Day. All events at events.indieweb.org.
Dinner in the sukkah. It’s nice out today.
They keep telling me to have a bricktastic day.
Bought a photo scanner with an automatic feeder. Back in 2013-4 I paid for a service to scan thousands of family photos. Then I found more. This time, doing it myself. Went through 1200 photos in a day.
Got an email from the place I got my car congratulating me on its two year anniversary. If not for the pandemic, I would have used it a lot more.
Decided to finally dispose of my MSI Wind U100 netbook. I bought it on March 19, 2009 for $299, and immediately added an extra GB of RAM and an extra battery and installed Linux. I haven’t used it in years, and it is time to retire it.
After declaring my intention to help iterate on the Ticket extension to IndieAuth, I built an experimental ticket endpoint, which is available on my test site. I was able to test it using Martijn van Der Ven’s test form for requesting a ticket., after some troubleshooting on both sides. Still have some tweaks to make and questions to answer for expansion, but it turned out that adding support for receiving and redeeming a ticket was relatively easy.
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.
