Personal Informatics

The personal informatics blocks located at the top of each page and on the “Now” page are generated using a combination of PHP and Python, and the respective services’ developer platforms:

  • Right Now: Aaron Parecki’s Overland app for iOS logs my location at one-second intervals and pushes the collected data about every five minutes over the internet to a MySQL database on this site.
  • Last Checkin: Check-ins are entered using Foursquare’s Swarm app for iOS. A developer web hook issues a payload to this site, where a Python script generates weather information for the check-in location and creates a map of the location that is published to my BlueSky social feed. A Google Apps Script attached to a spreadsheet in my Google account updates itself every two hours with a complete log of my check-ins that you can look at any time.
