I was reminded of the April Fools joke I posted in 2005. I was a holdout on getting a cellphone and posted that I finally got one. So many blog comments from friends. I miss those days.
I did finally get one in 2006, though.
Happy don't-believe-anything-you-read-on-the-internet day!
Tho come to think of it, that's becoming increasingly true for the other 364 days of the year as well now.

Yes I do realize the irony of paying someone to add a tip jar to my iOS app. But I've been putting off submitting the update to the App Store because my attempt at a tip jar was unsuccessful, so maybe this will finally get it out the door.

OAuth: "grant" vs "flow" vs "grant type"
Is it called an OAuth "grant" or a "flow"? What about "grant type"?
Happy World Piano DayĀ¹!
Because there are 88 keys on a standard piano, the 88th day of the year was established as a day to ācelebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listenerā.
There are multiple websites about Piano Day:

* https://www.worldpianoday.com/
And related #socialMedia and other profiles:

* https://linktr.ee/PianoDay
* Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2v022joEJ1ZUPi99NHDVNm?si=mmT4rDchTzW60KC3lsTksQ&nd=1&dlsi=2a348a57822c4217
I appreciate that Piano Day is on an ordinal day of the year (88th) rather than a Gregorian date (e.g. 8/8 or August 8th) which is subject to leap year variances. The 88th day of the year is the 88th day regardless whether it is a leap year or not.
From a standards perspective, we can express todayās Piano Day as 2024-088, an ISO ordinal dateĀ², however there is no standard date format for just "the 88th day of a year" without specifying a year (yearless).
There is (was) a way to specify a yearless month and day, like you might see as a birthday displayed on a social media site, without disclosing the year, or an annual holiday like May DayĀ³, that is May 1st, without a specific year:
--05-01
This yearless date format (--MM-DD or shorthand --MMDD) was supported in the ISO 8601:2000 standard, but then dropped in the 2004 revision. This omission or deliberate removal was an error, because there are both obvious human visible use-cases (communicating holidays, and yearless birthdays as noted above), and other standards already depended on this yearless date format syntax (e.g. vCardā“ and specs that refer to it like hCard and h-card).
Every version of ISO 8601 since 2000 has this flaw. Fixing (or patching) #ISO8601 is worth a separate post.
Returning to yearless ordinal dates, since they lack an interchange syntax, we can define one resembling the yearless month day format, yet unambiguously parseable as a yearless ordinal date:
---DDD
e.g. Piano Day would be represented as:
---088
We have to use three explicit digits because there's also pre-existing "day of the month" and "month of the year" syntaxes which are very similar, but with two digits:
--MM
---DD
This yearless #ordinalDate syntax (---DDD) is worth proposing as a delta "repair" spec to ISO 8601 (use-cases: Piano Day and others like Programmerās Dayāµ), alongside at least a restoration of the --MM-DD yearless month day syntax (use-cases: publishing holidays and yearless birthdays), perhaps also the ---DD day of the month and --MM month of the year syntaxes (use-case: language independent numerical publishing of Gregorian months and days of months), and propose adding a NewCal bim of the year syntax --B (numerically superior replacement for Gregorian months and quarters).
