So I’ve been trying to export my Day One entries and been hitting a snag.
The app asks if I want to download all my images, I say yes, and the progress bar gets stuck on 0%.
I contact Day One, they say they know there’s an issue, but there’s no workaround and no ETA. 😣

I find my podcast playlist gets unmanageable when I start listening to an audiobook (in this case Persepolis Rising) and I have to start deleting some episodes.
What are some podcasts that you would never skip episodes of, and which shows are you happy to pick and choose?
A suggestion for Apple to create a cross-platform system for managing contacts.
Note to self: Need to look into Drafts 5 more.
How do you use post kinds?
I’m still trying to figure when to use “read”, “bookmark”, or “like”. If I read a physical book that I liked, which post type would I use? What about an article that I read, what to keep record of, but can’t say I liked?
Same goes for things like “watch” and “listen”. If I want to track everything I watch, and mark everything as “watch”, how do I then mark some as stuff I like as opposed to stuff that’s just “meh”?
I’d like to hear how others use post kind.
This is the keyboard I use with my iOS devices (though the black model, not the wood one).
Apart from looking cool and having blue mechanical switches, it can also pair with three different devices. 👍🏻
Fellow cat lovers, apparently we’ve been holding our cats wrong! 🐱
Seriously though, I think this would be an interesting video for all cat lovers.
Btw, I wish my cat was a shoulder cat!
A cry for help regarding Micropub+WordPress
I’m wondering if any techy people out there can help me with my Micropub plugin.
I’ve installed it on WordPress without any problems, but when I try to use Quill or OwnYourGram, I keep getting the same error message. I tried using micropub.rocks to test out the connection, and the same error message shows up:
I don’t understand what any of it means but in the Micropub FAQ section, they mention this:
If your Micropub client includes an Authorization HTTP request header but you still get an HTTP 401 response with body missing access token, your server may be stripping the Authorization header. If you’re on Apache, try adding this line to your .htaccess file:
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1If that doesn’t work, try this line:
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
I did that, and my error message from Quill turned into this:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: nginx/1.12.2 Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2018 06:32:25 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive
Since that didn’t work, I reversed the changes I made and followed the next instruction on the Micropub FAQ:
If that doesn’t work either, you may need to ask your hosting provider to whitelist the Authorization header for your account.
This took a week of back and forth with my hosting provider (Bluehost) as most of their first level customer service agents have no idea what I’m asking them. Finally a technician gets back to me to tell me that they can’t whitelist the authorisation header for my account.
So the final piece of advice on the Micropub FAQ:
If they refuse, you can pass it through Apache with an alternate name, but you’ll need to edit this plugin’s code to read from that alternate name.
I’m afraid this is way above my tech level. Can someone help walk me through it?
