#
Jihaisse
the archive is empty
#
pfefferle
can you give me a link?
#
Jihaisse
pfefferle: strange, I've just try it now, it's working...
#
pfefferle
perhaps some caching problems on your server?
#
Jihaisse
I will try it later directly from the update manager in wordpress
adactio joined the channel
#
Jihaisse
pfefferle: I've found the bug
#
pfefferle
hmmm… i updated it via the update mechanism and it worked perfectly
#
pfefferle
i will have a look
#
pfefferle
oh, have you installed a github version and tried to update via update-mechanism?
#
pfefferle
that might be a problem
#
Jihaisse
yes, that's it
#
Jihaisse
shure :)
#
pfefferle
rename the folder to lowercase
#
pfefferle
then the update should work
#
pfefferle
should fix that in the git repo
#
pfefferle
strange update process anyways
#
pfefferle
wordpress should search the new theme by the folder name of the installed one...
#
pfefferle
i mean "shouldn't"
#
Jihaisse
pfefferle: thank you
#
Jihaisse
that works
#
pfefferle
your welcome
#
Jihaisse
so, I realy need curl installed

good morning #indiewebcamp!
#

Good morning tantek
#
tantek
we have an informal #indiewebcamp hack day coming up next week in SF on 2013-08-06, just before the W3C socialweb summit
#
tantek
who here is in the SF bay area and/or is interested in remote participating?
#
gjones
tantek I should be able to remote in, also do you need any help with the UK event or is it all sorted
#
tantek
gjones - can definitely use help with the UK event
#
tantek
need a co-organizer on the ground who can be here on IRC as well to coordinate
#
tantek
Aral is taking care of some things, but AFAIK he's never on IRC.
#
tantek
gjones, do you see Aral regularly?
#
gjones
More than happy to help, but dyslexia makes me a little slow on IRC front
ozten joined the channel
#
tantek
gjones - slow on IRC is no problem at all. as long as there is at least some contact. :)
#
gjones
Yes I do see Aral around we are often only working streets apart
#
tantek
great

will do, I drop Aral a line off the list and see if there are things I can pick up
#
tantek
also if you could get Aral to login to the wiki and add his user page that would be great too!

aaronpk - new IG spam virus/worm - e.g. see http://instagram.com/dburka
#
aaronpk
not found?
#
barnabywalters
this is another one?
#
tantek
oh weird, people have to web enable their profiles?
#
tantek
oh crap
#
aaronpk
that's nice actually
#
tantek
his account just got deleted!!!
#
Loqi
lolz
#
tantek
I just reloaded it on my ipod and got user not found
#
tantek
damn that's nasty
#
aaronpk
how does that help the worm propagate?
#
tantek
don't know. maybe overzealous admin action.
#
tantek
anyway I have the link - screenshotted his profile before it disappeared
#
tantek
aaronpk - sending to you via Messages / iPod txt
#
tantek
screenshots of dburka's profile both before deletion, and after
#
tantek
so weird
#
aaronpk
wtf weird
#
aaronpk
jeez that sucks
#
aaronpk
well in case anyone is interested, check out http://flickstagram.org to export all your instagram photos to flickr as a backup
#
tantek
and in going through some of my old hand-written "in-reply-to: " links in notes, I'm finding 404s
#
tantek
yet more real world examples of why it's good to copy reply-context content into your local content store
#
tantek
the person's twitter account still exists, but they deleted 3 tweets that I'd responded to
#
aaronpk
well if they deleted them, that also begs the question of whether you should continue displaying them on your site
#
tantek
it's a good question.
#
tantek
for something like a tweet - I think of it as fair-use (IANAL) - similar to a blockquote from part of an article
#
tantek
yet from a social convention perspective, if someone has deleted something you replied to, does that mean they no longer believe what they said?
#
tantek
even if we do choose to store/display such reply-contexts, would be useful to indicate that the original has been deleted?
#
tantek
also - this is why h-cite has a dt-accessed property
#
tantek
perhaps reply-contexts should be marked up with h-cite
#
tantek
since they are a citation of content from elsewhere
#
barnabywalters
tantek: ooh good idea
#
aaronpk
interesting. I like the idea of showing "deleted"
#
tantek
and you could even display *when* you / your cms retrieved the reply-context info
#
tantek
and thus mark it up visibly with class="dt-accessed"
#
aaronpk
I kind of feel like the implication is if you share it publicly then anybody may copy/cite/etc the content, and you can only indicate you deleted it, but you can have no guarantee that it will actually be deleted
#
tantek
aaronpk - I think that's reasonable
#
tantek
I'm thinking also from a social etiquette perspective
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: agreed. notes are a historical record
#
tantek
I believe part of the Twitter API TOS requires respecting delete requests
#
barnabywalters
they solidify opinion at a moment in time
#
tantek
so yet another reason to not use the Twitter API to retrieve tweet content
#
aaronpk
yea, it's at least as much a social convention as it is a technical issue
#
tantek
might be interesting to consider annotating reply-contexts with something like "Apparently deleted" (maybe even with a date) in such cases
#
tantek
aaronpk - yeah
#
tantek
I'm more interested in the social convention questions
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
tantek
anyway, we can start with marking up the dt-accessed
#
tantek
note that the entirety of the reply-context content can be marked up as a p-content
#
tantek
of the h-cite
#
aaronpk
oh, reply contexts should be marked up with h-cite?
#
barnabywalters
requiring people to remove any record of a piece of content is the equivalent of requesting people’s minds be wiped after a conversation if you changed your mind afterwards
#
barnabywalters
if you changed your mind — great! publish something new, mention known replies to the original
#
tantek
barnabywalters - though I do think suggesting deletion can be helpful, e.g. comment CRUD
#
tantek
the Pilgrim Protocol ;)
#
barnabywalters
then the clarification will pop up as a mention/comment on the note commenting on the original, outdated content
#
tantek
I'm editing the reply-context markup suggestion accordingly
#
tantek
I think h-cite is more appropriate than h-entry in this case
#
aaronpk
I do like the idea of h-cite for the reply context
#
barnabywalters
we could always use both
#
tantek
barnabywalters - why?
#
aaronpk
I avoided marking up the reply ocntext on my site because I didn't want parsers to think the reply was my content
#
aaronpk
I didn't think of using cite as an explicit way to mark that up
#
tantek
aaronpk - I just thought it myself
#
barnabywalters
tantek: if you’re publishing entry data, using h-entry properties, then may as well say it’s a h-entry
#
tantek
as I was going through more of my in-reply-to code
#
aaronpk
h-entry inside an h-cite?
#
tantek
barnabywalters - but it's not your entry
#
tantek
aaronpk - no, h-cite inside the h-entry of your note
#
barnabywalters
tantek: so? that much is communicated by the author property
#
tantek
h-entry for your reply, and embedded inside, h-cite for the reply-context
#
aaronpk
right, would the h-cite have an h-entry inside with the reply context?
#
tantek
barnabywalters - it's more accurate to claim you're citing content from that author, than propagating content from that author
#
tantek
especially given that you don't want to follow delete semantics
#
tantek
for deleted originals
#
tantek
aaronpk - no need for an h-entry inside the h-cite
#
tantek
the h-cite directly handles everything
#
aaronpk
so it has similar properties as h-entry then?
#
barnabywalters
to clarify, I was thinking <div class="h-entry h-cite"> not nesting
#
tantek
barnabywalters - I know, still, no need for that
#
tantek
and h-entry implies syndication semantics, which are incorrect in that case
#
barnabywalters
makes sense
#
tantek
good questions nonetheless
#
tantek
capturing...
#
tantek
(see this is why it takes me so long to implement things :) )
#
tantek
is thinking too hard, and spilling his brain onto the wiki. Pardon the mess.
#
barnabywalters
okay, pushed

#
tantek
and now to update my Falcon markup
#
tantek
ooh - all I have to do is add h-cite to my existing u-in-reply-to! and the u-url and p-name is implied :)
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: pushed?
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: .p-in-reply-to .h-cite on note feed and permalink pages
#
aaronpk
good lord you're fast
#
barnabywalters
to be fair it involved a change of about 10 characters across two files
#
aaronpk
er barnabywalters your notes list lost the permalink to your own note. the whole thing links to the reply
#
barnabywalters
too fast, apparently
#
aaronpk
oh, no, my bad. the whole thing underlines on hover, but it links correctly
#
barnabywalters
yeah, now I have in-feed reply contexts, I’m going to clean that up
#
aaronpk
yea that's awesome
#
barnabywalters
so it’s only ever the date and *maybe* location
#
aaronpk
but the permalink on your own note "In reply to
#
aaronpk
werd.io 28th of July 2013 at 16:34"
#
aaronpk
the whole thing underlines on hover
#
tantek
in-feed reply contexts now make a lot more sense as citations
#
barnabywalters
yeah. it’s messed up
#
tantek
rather than nested entries
#
aaronpk
totally
#
tantek
not sure why it took me so long to connect those two things
#
aaronpk
so in the case of my tag list, I should keep these all as h-entrys since they're all syndicated from others' sites right? http://aaronparecki.com/tag/indieweb
#
@veganstraightedge
@mekajfire @lalavalse If you want to help build the future, I encourage you to join the #indieweb set.
#
tantek
aaronpk - I think the h-entry semantic implies you can syndicate *from* it as well
#
tantek
not just that it was syndicated from others' sites
#
tantek
off to lunch. bbiab!
#
barnabywalters
so, I just realised something…
#
barnabywalters
posting in this IRC channel is probably the easiest, quickest way on the web to publish h-entry data
#
barnabywalters
are webmentions sent for the permalink pages?
eschnou joined the channel
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: we talked about sending webmentions before, and decided it would need to be restricted to a whitelist of people whose IRC lines got sent out
#
aaronpk
using the irc-people page
#
barnabywalters
ah very good plan
#
aaronpk
that would also mean the h-entries published could link to the person's website and image URL
#
f-a
nice article, aaronpk
#
aaronpk
hah awesome, I pasted in his tweet in my site and it auto-corrected the reply-to URL to his own domain

Writers: You don’t need Medium. You can host your own blog on your own domain with lots of other tools and hosts.
#
@ironicsans
@marcoarment I’ve been confused over why anyone self-assigns a piece, writes something good, then posts it on someone else’s site for free.
#
aaronpk
sounds like the benefit most people are getting out of it is the distribution network
#
@joshuaziering
@marcoarment @Stammy Medium has the one feature built in that I want -- an audience.
#
aaronpk
oh nice, he's also using the landowner/tenant analogy
#
tantek
we have a name for people just looking for a blanket "audience" of randoms rather than connecting with people through relevance (read: search and word-of-mouth discovery of your content). Spammers.

Shouting in a forest hoping someone's gonna hear you?
#
f-a
especially that tree which is falling
#
aaronpk
I think you just said it. Using a platform like medium, forbes, wired, etc, is not "without consideration" since they have an established audience that has certain expectations, and the people writing are trying to follow those expectations
#
tantek
really? I'm not sure what specific expectation is being set/met by medium. Forbes means somewhat of a business filter. Wired means somewhat of a tech filter. But medium? It's just … misc.
#
tantek
Aaronpk - what sources are your tag pages aggregating from? e.g. as you said: http://aaronparecki.com/tag/indieweb
#
aaronpk
currently that is things I've replied to or replies to my posts
#
tantek
I don't think Medium has a specific audience except "readers" - which means pure numbers. Just like spam doesn't have a specific audience except email readers.
#
aaronpk
considering adding things I've "starred" on Twitter as well
#
tantek
aaronpk - whoa - really - you're aggregating comments / others posts into that too
#
tantek
interesting
#
aaronpk
yea, it was kind of a side effect of something else and I kind of liked it so I left it
#
@bronwynjones
@joshuaziering @marcoarment @Medium And making Editor’s Picks as a nobody is a little ego boost, untrivial to any self-disrespecting writer.
#
@joshuaziering
@bronwynjones @marcoarment @Medium More imprortantly, it might give you the exposure you need for the next project.

"Editor's Picks" <-- validation from an outside party. everybody always likes that

aaronpk: your site theme is a little bit confusing if I may: you're using the same underlined color for links, hashtags with links, Twitter accounts without links and hashtags without links. Hard to know where to click
#

they are links. something else is blocking the click

Oh yes. Didn't even check the source I must say
