This is truly awesome. After a bit of fiddling I have things set up so that any photo I take with Instagram on my iPhone appears as a new journal entry and also gets saved to my flickr photo stream. Used Hazel and IFTTT to hook it all together.

Really great to be able to do this. Now how do I get it to save my facebook status updates? I guess I can use IFTTT to save the status update to a text file in dropbox, but how can I get slogger to pick that up and insert it as a new Day One item? Anyone done that?

Huge respect for building and sharing this!!

One temporary work-around would be to send your status updates to Twitter and pull the feed in that way.

If you don't want all of your FB status updates in your 'regular' Twitter account, create a separate Twitter account just for instances like this.

I have mentioned doing this before for the service, RunKeeper. They don't provide an RSS feed of my activities, but will post them to Twitter. So I set up a Twitter account to handle these posts and pull it into Day One via Slogger. I also use that Twitter account to pull in feeds from my Instapaper and Pinboard accounts so I can capture that info as well.

Your mileage may vary...

That's a great idea, will have a crack at that later. Now next question (sorry): I just uploaded two pictures to flickr from Aperture on my Mac in quick succession. I have IFTTT set up to copy the pictures to a dropbox folder and then a Hazel rule to watch that folder, run the slogger_image.rb script and then move the image out of that dropbox folder to an archive folder elsewhere. However only the 2nd image has ended up in Day One. Any ideas why or is this by design?

Not be design. Have you restarted Day One to make sure the image wasn't picked up?

Jeff Jenkins — Aug 18, 2012 06:53 pm

Actually scratch that, it's there now. I had to wait a bit and re-start Day One for it to appear for some unknown reason. WIll be more patient in future!
