A silly amount of computing devices.
@MrHenko A few weeks back I was with my family down the shore. There were stacks of MacBooks. 🙃
@MrHenko Do you have a favourite?
@Bruce But that was multiple people’s devices, right? This was just my stuff, trying to get some work done. :)
@martinfeld Generally answer to that would be the MacBook Pro. It enables me to do 100% of my work and everything else that I might ever want to do on a computer.
However, I’m right now reconsidering the technology I’m using to get work done. I’m drafting a longer blog post about this but haven’t quite gotten around to finish it yet. The short version is that I’m right now testing out the iPad Mini, and that’s the reason for the insane pile of technology yesterday as I was trying to get it setup just right. My hope is to have a setup where I can do 80% of the work on the iPad Mini but still do most of it on the MacBook Pro. The benefit I’m hoping to get out of it is to be able to grab the iPad at a moments notice and go for a walk or just sit down at a different place when I feel the procrastination coming. It’ll also help a lot on the days when I’m staying at home with one or more sick kids and need to get some lighter work done in a more portable setting.
@MrHenko Great answer! I’ve always been a Mac fan but I also enjoy the ability to just pick up the iPad and start doing something away from a desk. I look forward to your longer blog post!
🎞 Watched: Black Panther (2018)
The MCU movies keeps on delivering. This was another really good one.
🎞 Watched: Interstellar
Me and Linn watched Interstellar last week and we both really liked it.
@MrHenko This film blew me away. I saw it first at a second run theater with smallish screens, so I jumped at the chance to see it at the science museum’s jumbo theater, then later in one of the few theaters outfitted with 70mm equipment. Stunning.
@macgenie That sounds like a lot cooler circumstances than we watched it in. For us it was a 37″ television at home, with the kids literately sleeping on the other side of the wall that the tv hangs on. So the audio and visuals didn’t quite give the impact that I think Nolan was going for. Probably why the music, that everybody seems to think is brilliant, sort of underwhelmed me.
I just found Rebble, a project to keep Pebble watches working. Maybe this is what gets me to love my Pebble again.
Okay, let’s give this a try then!
oo this looks like a fun project
Den som förespråkar liberal frihet förväntas ofta visa att detta resulterar i att människor väljer klokt och resultatet blir gott. Men människor måste också vara fria att fatta svåra beslut och ta risker.
Right now is my favorite time of the year.
The kids are asleep after a long day of playing in the sun and I’m sitting on the deck, programming and blogging.
My somewhat ridiculous setup for listening to music outdoors today; a Raspberry Pi running PiMusicBox and Spotify Connect connected to an external speaker and being powered by a power bank.

19 augusti, 2019 17:28Does this show up in micro.blog as well?
Henrik
19 augusti, 2019 18:31I wonder if this will show up in micro.blog?
johnjohnston
18 augusti, 2019 23:27@blog @MrHenko it does! I see the re comes from @blog but it has your avatar. Are you using the post_kinds WordPress plugin for replies?
johnjohnston
18 augusti, 2019 23:32@MrHenko that fixed it, but I see 2 messages in the main timeline? Only one in conversation view (mac app).

19 augusti, 2019 09:28@MrHenko Are you planning on doing a write-up about this process when you’re done? It looks like you and @johnjohnston found at least two areas where extra care was needed (m.b webpage URL has to match blog url, webmention replies “doubled” if not also excluded from feed sent to m.b), and it would be good to have a detailed-ish document about WordPress webmention replies and Micro.blog out there on the web (and in the wiki)….
smokey
19 augusti, 2019 09:32@johnjohnston Hrm, you’re @johnjohnston in that reply, even though your M.b profile URL matches your blog URL…. (And there’s that strange “Like this:Like Loading…” at the end.)
smokey
19 augusti, 2019 09:36@smokey @johnjohnston Oh, weird; something’s busted in @-mentions for “domain usernames”; it’s truncating at the period (which explains John’s mentioning of “blog” in this reply)…

19 augusti, 2019 15:10@MrHenko @smokey Thanks! If you write this up, feel free to include bug reports in the blog post too. 🙂 The double posts might be a bug, but I noticed that the URL is different for those 2 posts: one uses the format
p=10756
in WordPress, so Micro.blog can’t know that it’s the same as the other permalink.manton
19 augusti, 2019 15:24@MrHenko Did you remove one of the duplicates? It’s no longer showing up in the conversation, but it was a little while ago.

19 augusti, 2019 15:39@MrHenko I’m interested in knowing more about what you did. I’m sending my blog here, and using webmentions on my blog to track convos, but hadn’t seen how to link stuff here back there. I generate different rss entries for short and long blog posts (I created “microposts” on my blog which come through as simple messages, while normal ones do the ”title, link” thing).
johnjohnston
19 augusti, 2019 19:06@smokey @MrHenko @manton the “Like this:Like Loading…” comes from my use of the Jetpack like button. I probably need to give that up or understand a bit better how a mention is grabbed from a post…
My micro.blog account has johnjohnston.info/blog/ verified. I guess the incoming mention is reduced to the domain and not the folder my blog is in. Would it help for me to add a rel link to micro.blog on the home page? Will that confuse things? I’ve got the link on /blog/
manton
19 augusti, 2019 20:25@johnjohnston Ah, I see. Yes, Micro.blog assumes for incoming Webmentions that the verified site is just a domain name without a path. I don’t think you need to add anything else, because you do have a
rel=me
on the reply pages already (but Micro.blog doesn’t check that currently).johnjohnston
19 augusti, 2019 20:28@manton if I added rel=me on my domain page and verified that, would that break anything or help anything?
manton
19 augusti, 2019 20:31@johnjohnston You’d also need to update the URL on your profile to just be the domain name. That may be a good short-term change while I consider if there’s more Micro.blog could do here. Thanks!
