Amazing Icelandic aurora film project: icelandaurorafilms.com made by some friends — I’ve seen some of the footage and it is STUNNING. Can’t wait to see the final piece!

New favourite misspelling: replacing “voilà” with “viola”

Made wonton soup variant of taste.com.au/recipes/31255/fragrant+chicken+wonton+soup, wrappers from allrecipes.com/Recipe/Wonton-Wrappers — turned out pretty good, with enough leftover soup to use for soba noodle soup tomorrow

Beginning to suspect that perfect #granola is a heisenrecipe, i.e. is only possible to achieve when you’re not recording ingredient quantities

What’s your favourite road to drive along, anywhere in the world?

Thanks @jetbrains for giving me a free PHPStorm opensource license to work on Taproot #indieweb tools! Best IDEs I’ve ever used by a long shot, highly recommended.

Any #silex devs who want to add #indieauth sign-in or micropub to their applications? Take a look at github.com/taproot/authentication, I want to improve the documentation so indieauth can make more sense to new users.

#TIL there’s a URL-based API for Google street view. Spent this afternoon making a tool for automating hyperlapses with it developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview

Latest #ksp invention: Reverse Bamboo Staging! Like asparagus, except you blow spent fuel tanks off the top of the stack (helped along by some separatrons) rather than blowing the engines off too:

Successfully gets me into LKO with a full main tank. Haven’t decided what to do with it yet…

The fact that pressing buttons and watching lights on a screen change lets me fly to another country still weirds me out.

How to query for all highways in #OSM Overpass API (demo: overpass-turbo.eu/s/3sB):

<osm-script output="json">
  <query type="way" into="highways">
    <bbox-query {{bbox}}/>
    <has-kv k="highway" />
  </query>
 
  <union>
    <item set="highways"/>
    <recurse from="highways" type="down"/>
  </union>
  
  <print mode="body" order="quadtile"/>
</osm-script>

This returns all highways without filtering, check out the OSM Highway docs for different possible types of highway, and add a v="" attribute to the has-kv element to filter.

Latest weird, quirky thing discovered by accident whilst trawling through #OSM data: vikingsacrossafrica.webs.com

Thanks to everyone who tried/bought our granola this morning! Had a blast selling it with @brennannovak and meeting you all. This isn’t the end of Reykjavík Granola Co., stay tuned for more…
