Post details
Sarah Kocianski is joined by some great guests to discuss the first 2 years of Open Banking in the UK - what's worked, what hasn't and how many more opportunities and innovations are yet to come.
Very interesting podcast about #OpenBanking and #StrongCustomerAuthentication. It's nice to hear some other folks' thoughts on what it looks like both as a bank and as a third party https://fi.11fs.com/573 #FintechInsider

Woops by making the changes in https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/washd/ I've also broken my Micropub endpoint's ability to RSVP to meetups, as the response is coming back with a new location format. Oops!
I've just updated https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/12/19/meetup-mf2-hfeed/ with a note that last night, https://aaronparecki.com helped me get the h-feed support in https://aperture.p3k.io/ over the line!
It required some changes to return a valid parsed-MF2 location which it didn't up until now (https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/meetup-mf2/-/merge_requests/5)
And I also made a change to render the HTML description from Meetup actually show as HTML for the consumer, as well as rendering a plaintext format (https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/meetup-mf2/-/merge_requests/6)
And here is what the new notifications look like for https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/12/webmention-notifications/ for my webmentions

Woops, after spending ~40 mins working on getting my Webmention notifications (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/12/webmention-notifications/) to send the author's avatar in the notification, I've now realised the Pushover API doesn't support it. Doh!
I will be attending
I've just updated https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/12/webmention-notifications/ to mention that I've replaced Pushbullet with Pushover for my Webmention notifications service! Looking forward to getting lots of lovely push notifications, again!
Thanks Alexa did telling me it wasn't going to rain today 🙄

Hey https://twitter.com/GoustoCooking are there any plans to create an Alexa Show app for cooking? It'd be very cool to have, similar to the Android app, but bigger screen in the kitchen would be awesome #gousto
After the day I've had, it doesn't feel like I've been away at all 😅 at least I've got a massage now at https://www.beautytemple.co.uk/ now 😴🤤
#Nottingham / #Sherwood folks, does anyone have a driving instructor recommendation?
Week Notes 20#4 (3 mins read).
What happened in the week of 2020-01-20?
https://gregorlove.com you'll be happy to know that when talking about a different Gregor my phone autocorrected it to gRegor!
Removing Distractions with the Focus Mode within Android's Digital Wellbeing (4 mins read).
How I'm using Android's Digital Wellbeing functionality to reduce endless scrolling of social media, and reduce my reliance on my phone.
Very cool! Looking forward to getting this into my muscle memory
This is very cool. I've been thinking about containerising my personal APIs for this site, and I guess this would remove a lot of the work! Looking forward to playing with this once it's released.
Good news: after a week on holiday my body is now waking up consistently at a reasonable time.
Bad news: that time is 0830 when I'm meant to have already left the house for work
Not sure how I'm going to cope next week without a litre of sangria and a steak a day 😅
What are folks using for free/low cost notifications for personal projects? I know https://indigenous.realize.be uses https://pushy.me and until now I've used https://pushbullet.com, but given https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/01/yelaf/ I may need to replace it with something more substantial
I used to write a lot of shell scripts before realising that what I was trying to do was treat shell scripting as a "full" scripting language (I won't define here what I mean by "full").
Its not - reach for a higher level scripting language like Ruby or Python when things are getting more complicated, and allow shell scripts to glue things together, or be for quick tasks maybe a few lines long.
When you do write them, this advice is great but it's definitely worth gaining understanding of when you should and shouldn't use them.

I've just announced #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham on February 5th https://events.indieweb.org/2020/02/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-8IgcYeAQhIKX - just turn up, or RSVP via https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/08/21/rsvp-from-your-website/
There are also lots of #HomebrewWebsiteClub events across the world where you can come and build, or enhance, your personal website with something #IndieWeb related - we've got one in Nottingham! https://events.indieweb.org/tag/hwc
For anyone at #NaConf looking to learn more about owning your data and the #IndieWeb, I recently did a talk about it, with a transcript available at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ which will hopefully shed more light!
