#[tantek]I'm doing this starting with posts dated March 16th (posted after the fact), the day before we started our shelter-in-place in SF: https://tantek.com/2020/104/t2/sunset-before-distancing — that's my "day 0" post. I'm using my existing blog, with the hashtag #SFdistancing (manually POSSEd to Instagram, and partially to Twitter due to text length limits and limit to 4 photos per post)
#ZegnatLooking forward to seeing the monthly report pop up in my reader then :)
#ZegnatI have a Beurer BF600 (bluetooth scale) as well as Beurer AS97 (activity tracker) on its way to me. There was a cheap package deal and decided it would be worth a try.
#jeremycherfasI haven't yet made good on my foolish thought that I should learn `awk` but I think that would help me automate some charts.
#jeremycherfasThe tracker did look interesting. I looked at the Amazfit Bip and then withdrew. I don't really need it.
#ZegnatI was really interested because this one says it can do heartrate tracking. Something I have only seen in more premium trackers before.
#ZegnatI doubt it can do continous tracking, but if it can, maybe I’ll pu my pulse on my site.
#jeremycherfasDid you see that other one that does continuous tracking, without a display. Whoosh? Let me check.
#ZegnatNot a lot of indiewebing getting done on my end today though. Currently playing around with a browser extension idea in wait for my weekly D&D session to kick off.
#jeremycherfasHeart rate attracts me too, because I would like to see changes in resting heart rate and variability, but I really don't know how reliable any of the affordable trackers are for that. And right now an Apple watch is not affordable.
#ZegnatYeah, that is my concern too with heartrate. But the Beurer is a - imo - good enough hardware brand that for the sales price I found the package deal at I was willing to try
#ZegnatI have had some issues with the OneTab browser extension, so I am building my own
#jeremycherfasThe buggy with snabb motor looks like a lot of fun.
#ZegnatIt is one of those types of stores that sells any random gadet thing. A telescope fork all the way up to full Raspberry Pi kits. But you need to have a bit of luck on the sales.
#jeremycherfasThere are a couple of those here too. One I get a daily email from with a bunch of things that might be fun to play with, but not so much fun that I am actually going to spend money.

#[LewisCowles][jeremycherfas] [Zegnat] not much. I've been tinkering, but mostly I'm relaxing
