I was reminded (thanks @girlvsplanet) that I'm “not on social media much these days.” I’m not sure why. I want to be, to stay connected, but I often feel like “what should I say?” I do still read it a lot, though.

So, uh, what should I say?

They always remind me of spinning songs with you, @gRegorLove, @girlvsplanet and company.

Aw man, I miss turntable.fm. Been a while since I listened to @shinytoyguns too. Listening to We Are Pilots v3 now.

I haven’t listened to Snow Patrol in quite a while. Their new song “Life on Earth” is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqYWcp1JH7Y

Now to re-listen to Eyes Open.

Just a newbie’s question: a template file is required in this branch as well? I suppose a namespaced one?

Yeah, the template file is needed. Namespace is optional, but recommended.

Dear @gRegorLove - is there any ProcessWire webmentions Modul/Plugin working on the current pw version 3.0.98 ?

I have an in-progress PW3 branch that should work, though I haven’t tested it in a while. If you try it out, please let me know any issues you run into. In the coming months I should be able to get an official release out.

In the end I did not go this route. I instead used the hCard microformat. Are people still using microformats?

http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard

Yep, microformats are alive and well; used a lot in the #indieweb community. If you’re adding them to new content, I’d recommend checking out microformats2 h-card. Easier markup and parsers are backwards compatible.

Notes to self for iOS distribution certificates with Phonegap Build (and no Mac).

Generate 2048 bit RSA private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ios.key 2048

Generate CSR with that private key:
openssl req -new -key ios.key -out ios.csr -subj "/emailAddress=MY-EMAIL-ADDRESS, CN=COMPANY-NAME, C=COUNTRY-CODE"

Visit Apple Developer iOS Provisioning Portal > Certificates > Add.
Upload the CSR. Download the resulting .cer file.

Generate a PEM file from the .cer file:
openssl x509 -in ios_development.cer -inform DER -out ios_development.pem -outform PEM

Generate a p12 file:
openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey ios.key -in ios_development.pem -out ios_development.p12

Visit Apple Developer iOS Provisioning Portal > Provisioning Profiles.

If the distribution provisioning profile has not expired yet, edit it to use the new distribution certificate.

Otherwise, add a new provisioning profile using the new distribution certificate.

Click Generate to generate a new provisioning profile. Download it.

In Phonegap Build, upload the .p12 and provisioning profile to the account’s signing keys.

Update the existing provisioning profile with the new distribution


I am currently safe during the earthquake that happened 12:30pm in southern California. Didn’t feel anything where I am; it was further north San Diego County and LA area.

If only my younger self could see me at 31: burning the midnight oil, classics music blaring overhead, scribbling furiously, painstakingly rendering a butt.

What is Digg going to do to make sure this link (this discussion) still exists in 5 years?

Unfortunately not very surprising: this digg.com URL discussing digital rot did not even last 3 years. It redirects to the homepage now. Despite Toby’s response, I cannot find it using their search.


Facebook, I have never even heard of these organizations much less been a customer. I manually removed at least 100 of these from my Ad Preferences page recently and now there are these 15. What are you doing?

New release of mf2 to iCalendar

I’ve released version 0.0.2 of mf2 to iCalendar, a library to convert h-event microformats into iCalendar.

It now supports dates with local time (no timezone) and it prefers the content property over the description property. Also, unit tests. Because test ALL THE THINGS!
