bret, aaronpk, one thing we can do is to create a page for each buzzwordy term that people use in discussions, define it, provide indieweb perspectives, and then add FAQs related to that term as needd

so when ScottJenson or anyone else says something like "federation is likely doomed as the UX is so bad" you can point them to indiewebcamp.com/federation

"It turned out that these two ideas were Isomorphic. Then the term isomorphic was used about 20 times in the next 5 minutes."
#
barnabywalters
is isomorphic like orthogonal in this context?
#
barnabywalters
iso + morphic = same shaped?
#
tommorris
wants to find everyone who uses the term 'orthogonal' and introduce them forcibly to the much simpler term 'separate from'.
LauraJ joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
tommorris++
#
aaronpk
it's a mathy term
#
Loqi
tommorris has 11 karma
#
aaronpk
yea, same shaped
#
tommorris
orthogonal is one of those terms that people hear and then think "ooh, that's fancy, I should use it" even though it makes things less clear
abrereton joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
okay, so orthogonal = separate from and isomorphic = similar shaped
#
aaronpk
tommorris: lol
#
barnabywalters
I remember being confused by similar terminology when I was new to the channel
#
barnabywalters
let’s not use it :)
#
barnabywalters
^ is a nice looking site
#
barnabywalters
very minimal
#
aaronpk
whoops i am not resolving relative URLs
#
barnabywalters
../../../..

#
barnabywalters
greetings jschweinsberg — nice indieweb site!
#
barnabywalters
RE authorship on eschnou’s site, if I don’t find a p-author or rel-author but there is a root h-card on the page with a u-url with the same domain, I use that
#
jschweinsberg
barnabywalters: Ohh thanks. :D
#
aaronpk
jschweinsberg: hello! I just sent you a webmention. I had to tweak my discovery code slightly because of your rel value, but it works now!
#
jschweinsberg
FYI I'm not @jschweinsberg on twitter. So autolinking is on the one hand I cool thing but on the other hand some sort of curse. :)
#
aaronpk
I wasn't looking for http://webmention.org, was looking explicitly for http://webmention.org/ with the trailing slash
#
jschweinsberg
Oh, good to know.
#
aaronpk
fixed :)
#
aaronpk
oops I shuoldn't have sent that one to twitter
#
aaronpk
has not fully woken up yet
#
barnabywalters
poll: rel=prev or rel=previous?
#
Loqi
previous has 1 karma
#
aaronpk
isn't that documented somewhere?
#
barnabywalters
I think you’re supposed to be able to use either
#
barnabywalters
just wondering what people prefer
#
aaronpk
i've used "prev"
#
aaronpk
cause they're both 4 chars that way
#
barnabywalters
I used to like that neatness but it seems arbitrary now — I just use the whole word
#
Loqi
rofl

aaronpk
I should go get some coffee, brb

sad to see that they’ve supported OpenGraph before microformats :(
#
Loqi
aww, cheer up
#
barnabywalters
thanks Loqi. you’re always here for me
#
Loqi
you're welcome
#
barnabywalters
actually, it’s a bit creepy
LauraJ joined the channel
#
XgF
barnabywalters: Because OpenGraph is widely supported, while microformats (xfn/hcard aside) are very rare?
#
barnabywalters
I didn’t say it was bad prioritisation, just that it made me sad
fmarier joined the channel
#
XgF
TBH, I can't stand the mess that Microformats makes of a page. class is for styling, not semantics
#
barnabywalters
XgF: incorrect
#
barnabywalters
“ authors are encouraged to use values that describe the nature of the content, rather than values that describe the desired presentation of the content.”
#
barnabywalters
values that describe the nature of the content = microformats
#
XgF
But note the reason that advice is given - so that authors name their classes things like "title", "header", "menu" as opposed to "bigtext", "blue", "small"
#
barnabywalters
XgF: citation?
#
tommorris
Class is for whatever you want to use it for. It just so happens that CSS uses it.
#
tommorris
HTML4 defines class rather nicely
#
tommorris
The class attribute has several roles in HTML:
#
tommorris
As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign style information to a set of elements). For general purpose processing by user agents.
#
XgF
Be as it may, I prefer RDFa for properly separating presentation and semantic information
#
tommorris
I actually think the idea of "semantic markup" is a confusion.
#
tommorris
There's descriptive markup - <address> rather than <span class="address">
#
tommorris
but the problem with the term "semantic markup" is that it makes people belive that by using the correct HTML elements they are doing something vaguely like the semantic web

kernel panic. probably ran out of ram. rebooting and should be back in a few
#

wonder what application caused it to run out of ram
#

suspects MySQL :D

re prev/previous, I use rel=prev
#
tantek
and note that rel=prev is the defined value here (the official registry) http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values#formats
#
tantek
whereas rel=previous is marked as a synonym
#
tantek
so you can use either

just implementing original-post-discovery
#
tantek
barnabywalters - excellent!
smus joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
it is the start of an incremental set of mf-processing endpoints I’m making which will in the end combine into something resembling a feed reader
smus joined the channel
#
tantek
barnabywalters - interesting. when I wrote up original-post-discovery its purpose was to provide a building block for more-indieweb-friendly reply behaviors.
#
tantek
I'm curious how you're using it as part of a reader.
andreypopp joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
it’s the first endpoint I’m making as I need it right now
#
barnabywalters
but it is practise and foundation for others
#
barnabywalters
e.g. for combining mf, filtering mf, rendering mf into HTML
#
barnabywalters
getting feed lists from h-card/XFN data which can then be fed into the above
#
tantek
barnabywalters - what do you think of the rel values for following / follower ? http://microformats.org/wiki/xfn-brainstorming#fans_and_followers

oh, and no it wasn't mysql, I don't run mysql on that machine (re: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2013-08-27/line/1377622235)
#
aaronpk
i have a separate server that only runs mysql, no web server
#
tantek
interesting - then I do wonder what ate up all the memory
#
aaronpk
huh, it was some http thing
#
aaronpk
looks like it was aaron.pk
#
aaronpk
probably something it talks to started hanging, leaving a bunch of apache threads open which kills ram fast
