  • 100 Days of Music

    Wed, Dec 28, 2016 10:05am -08:00

    #100DaysOfMusic is a project to write a short 20-30 second song every day for 100 days. My goal is to create something that's "finished" enough to be able to use it as a podcast or video intro song. It doesn't have to be long, but has to sound decent.

    The only way to get better is with practice, so forcing myself to limit myself to 1 day for each "song" means I won't be able to get stuck down a path of trying to make something sound "perfect", and will just focus on trying out new things all the time.

    Subscribe to the podcast feed or view on iTunes!

  • Currently debating between #100DaysOfMusic or #100DaysOfIndieWeb for my #100Days project. #100DaysOfMusic - The goal would be to write a short 10-20 second song every day. The goal would be to write something that's "finished" enough to be able to use it as a podcast or video intro song, so it doesn't have to be long, but has to sound decent. I want to get back into writing music, since I've only done a tiny bit over the last couple years, and it helps to have a more concrete goal. The only way to get better is with practice, so forcing myself to limit myself to 1 day for each "song" means I won't be able to get stuck down a path of trying to make something sound "perfect", and will just focus on trying out new things all the time. #100DaysOfIndieWeb - The goal would be to make a visible improvement to any of my IndieWeb projects every day. Some of these projects are things like the interface I'm using to write this post, or the IndieWeb chat client, or the validators for some of the specs. The motivation for this is that I was just looking through the GitHub issues on some projects and realized there are some issues that have been open for over a year. I never regret making progress on these projects and would benefit from an excuse to do so regularly. Crazy idea... maybe I can do both?

  • @1password Any chance you're working on an iOS keyboard so I can avoid switching out to the app all the time?

  • 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!

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write about OAuth, and am the editor of the W3C Webmention and Micropub specifications, and co-editor of WebSub.

I've been tracking my location since 2008, and write down everything I eat and drink. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel.
