hey tantek
#
tantek
evening!
#
tantek
was just popping in quickly for the night
#
tantek
I think I've wikified the Etherpads of sessions for the day
#
tommorris
managed to login
#
tantek
woohoo!
#
tantek
which auth provider?
#
tommorris
twitter
#
tommorris
my Firefox was being weird: combination of Aurora and crazy extensions
#
tommorris
I tried it in Chrome and it worked fine
#
tommorris
just noodling around making an OSM XML to simple HTML venue list script to show how to use OSM for open webbish stuff
#
tantek
oh nice
#
tommorris
and started hacking on tommorris.org version n+1 on the train
#
tommorris
basically, what I want with the OSM thing is a way to give it a lat-long and it gives you back a list of vcards of foursquare-ish like venues near that lat-long
#
tantek
reads the scrollback in the archives
#
tantek
that would be sweet
#
tommorris
where a foursquare-ish like venue == pub, bar, restaurant, shop for the time being
#
tantek
this is funny tommorris: "getting very confused by the indiewebcamp wiki. it's rather like a wiki I use every day but strangely different. ;-)"
#
tommorris
i should probably just use the keyboard shortcuts on mediawiki anyway. ;-)
#
tantek
we didn't take a team photo like we did the other times but I did take photos of the main room with everyone: http://statigr.am/tag/indiewebcampuk

#
tommorris
^ almost forgot about the most useful OSM tag.
#
tantek
oh neat
#
tantek
would be interesting to hear aaronpk re: OSM venues
#
aaronpk
sounds like a good idea! I haven't actually looked much into the business data they have yet.
#
aaronpk
I'm more familiar with the administrative boundaries so far
#
tommorris
also, the other thing I'm really wanting to nerd out over is the Facebook and Twitter style name detection
#
tantek
tommorris, btw Aaronpk is co-founder of Geoloqi
#
tommorris
oh cool, I registered for Geoloqi and installed it on my Android phone earlier
#
tantek
a-ha - yes indie person auto-suggest
#
tommorris
needs more front-end-fu to write something like that
#
tommorris
if it involves handling a few hundred gigabytes of XML data, I'm happy as a pig in shit. but things that humans use? oh god no. ;)
#
tommorris
it's basically named-entity-recognition-as-you-type
#
tantek
I'm wondering if it would be possible to build a web service that did that RESTfully in real time.
#
tommorris
may be hard, but if each little personal site had its own list of people, it could query against those
#
tommorris
and that list gets built up by crawling the various YASN
#
tommorris
of course, the people who actually have their own shit running on their own domain get put to the top of the list
#
tantek
of course:)

Instead of "@adactio", in indie web land, "<a href="http://adactio.com/">Jeremy Keith</a>" ;-)
