I didn't really do a great job with it... I was still learning back then. But it was fun!

Sort of funny, I posted a link on Hacker News to a good article that somebody wrote:

It was late at night, and it got to the #1 position. :-)

I think Rotonde grew by about 10x today

Over in the Dat ecosystem, I announced my new project named "Pipette" ... it's blogging system.

I created a "dev blog":

@dominic I'm following you now!

Rotonde needs some work ... new people are basically invisible until somebody follows. I'll try to follow everybody on this thread...

@tim I get timeouts trying to load your Rotonde portal. You might want to use hashbase.io so that there are some online peers for it even when you aren't online.

I want to link my Fritter and my Rotonde and my Patchwork and my Cabal and my gitverse together somehow... and somehow get notifications to my phone.

Got cabal-mobile partly working on iOS!

![ios-cabal.png](&QreXuu/c5c3bhRLHLkIBl/Me8M9nGfCq5IqoeN3Uxac=.sha256)

Lots of toolchain messing around silliness ... seems like a lot of peer-to-peer software could be made to work on Android + iOS this way.



Date: Mon Jul 02 2018 14:24:42 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

I've been trying to avoid posting too much to Twitter (apart from retweets) ... I've mostly been using Fritter.

But... not enough other Fritter people are posting, so I feel like I'm drowning out the public feed. There's only about 100 or so people, and only about 10 active posters, and they're probably all enjoying the summer weather.

So, I think I'll post a bit more here...

I'm going to be having coffee tomorrow with somebody who wants to talk to me about Dat and IPFS. I've done some basic IPFS demos, but I haven't built anything elaborate with it, so I'm going to tinker with it a bit today.

Going to try out this tutorial here:

https://medium.freecodecamp.org/from-zero-to-interplanetary-hero-7e62f7d4427

Looks interesting... IPFS seems to be the land of "gateways" compared to Dat. But it's not like Dat can completely get away from the idea of gateways either - especially if you look at my glitch.com demos, which all have a gateway baked in.

Prepping some visualizations using vizceral and mininet for the presentation I'm going to do in SF with mafintosh.

Now I can dynamically add new nodes to my swarm:

I dumped the MaxMind GeoLite2 geo IP lookup csv files into a hypertrie (single-writer hyperdb). And I made a little command line tool to do quick IP lookups by sparsely querying the database:

https://github.com/jimpick/dat-geoip

```
$ npm install -g @jimpick/dat-geoip
```
```
$ dat-geoip 64.46.22.7
{

Inspired Ed Silverton's talk at #DWebSummit - I made a test site for Beaker that can do zoomable tiled images without a server!

I was inspired by Brian Warner's talk about Secure Ecmascript at #DWebSummit, and I made a chat bot server for cabal so I could try it out.

Any user can upload javascript for a bot and it will run. It's running live on the public cabal chat right now!
