I found my next blogging project. It's overlapping with the tail end of my 100days project (photo posts) but that's ok. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/13/smarter-living/why-you-should-start-a-coronavirus-diary.html

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)

[Tantek Çelik] 🌅 Sunset at Ocean Beach on March 16th, the evening before distancing in San Francisco. A surfer calls it a night(1). A minute later, clear dark blue to yellow and orange gradient on the horizon, reflected by the wet sand(2 click the image for wall... https://fastly.4sqi.net/img/general/width960/476_bEcJ56qhtvyTJgP6RX0LJs0gpzjzDUJML5PSXO928CE.jpg

Good morning IndieWeb

Good morning jeremycherfas

Hello [LewisCowles] What are you up to?
#
jeremycherfas
I ran into a blank wall on an Applescript thing this morning, so now I am doing non-indie things.

Good morning IndieWeb :) jeremycherfas, [LewisCowles] :)

Hello Zegnat. I found my first ever weight graph yesterday while bringing old posts in.
#
Zegnat
Ooh, exciting!
#
Zegnat
I hope there may be a chance my weight chart gets automated some time next week
#
jeremycherfas
Completely static, with a regression line. There'll be a link in the monthly report for April.
#
jeremycherfas
Because you bought a scale?
#
Zegnat
Looking forward to seeing the monthly report pop up in my reader then :)
#
Zegnat
I 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.
#
jeremycherfas
I haven't yet made good on my foolish thought that I should learn `awk` but I think that would help me automate some charts.
#
jeremycherfas
The tracker did look interesting. I looked at the Amazfit Bip and then withdrew. I don't really need it.
#
Zegnat
I was really interested because this one says it can do heartrate tracking. Something I have only seen in more premium trackers before.
#
Zegnat
I doubt it can do continous tracking, but if it can, maybe I’ll pu my pulse on my site.
#
jeremycherfas
Did you see that other one that does continuous tracking, without a display. Whoosh? Let me check.
#
jeremycherfas
Total overkill.

I don’t know, I imagine a future where my website can have a live beating heart emoji in the corner, jeremycherfas ;)

Not 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.
#
jeremycherfas
Heart 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.
#
jeremycherfas
Sounds interesting.
#
Zegnat
Yeah, 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
#
Zegnat
I have had some issues with the OneTab browser extension, so I am building my own
#
jeremycherfas
Where was the Beurer deal?
#
Zegnat
Teknikmagasinet’s spring clearout
#
jeremycherfas
The buggy with snabb motor looks like a lot of fun.
#
Zegnat
It 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.
#
jeremycherfas
There 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.
#
Zegnat
I moved to chat :)

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