@brennannovak
@adactio nice! Veklomin to the #IndieWeb POSSE style!

#
aaronpk
KartikPrabhu: just for you I added a "slug" field
#
aaronpk
it's live now
#
KartikPrabhu
nice nice! I'll play around with it on my next note :D Though I have to add the code for it :P
#
aaronpk
yeah I had to add it to my micropub endpoint too. luckily it was really easy
#
kylewm
aaronpk: does your site still show realtime comments?
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah shouldn't be much trouble except I use 'slug" as the uniqu identifier which might be troublesome
#
aaronpk
kylewm: it should... but I think there's something weird happening where it doesn't render the actual content, just shows the URL
#
kylewm
aaronpk: testing now :)
#
aaronpk
i saw it!
#
kylewm
ha, yep you were right, the URL pops up
#
KartikPrabhu
snarfed: should bridgy be using micropub instead of webmentions to POSSE (ideally) ?
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: bridgy publish?
#
aaronpk
good question! I've only thought about doing syndication at the same time as creating the post so far
#
aaronpk
hm wait that's backwards tho
#
snarfed
KartikPrabhu: that could work. i think i'm pretty happy with how it works now, but yeah, i guess technically micropub is more appropriate
#
KartikPrabhu
basically using micropub to post to twitter with bridgy acting as a translator
#
aaronpk
right now it's a clever overload of webmention
#
aaronpk
just realized he hasn't used "overload" in that context in probably about 10 years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading

Loqi
KartikPrabhu meant to say: oo adactio added notes! sweet... POSSE ftw!
#
kylewm
KartikPrabhu: checking my understanding, bridgy would be the micropub endpoint?
#
aaronpk
yeah which is kind of odd
#
snarfed
eh it's similar to how it works now
#
snarfed
it proxies indieweb protocols for silos
#
aaronpk
it's not really micropub or webmention
#
KartikPrabhu
right now it is a webmention endpoint
#
aaronpk
it just happens to use the same parameters as webmention right now
#
KartikPrabhu
i mean micropub is also just HTTP with added parameters in the spec
#
aaronpk
wait a sec...
#
aaronpk
sorry KartikPrabhu
#
aaronpk
yeah bridgy publish needs some sort of authentication
#
KartikPrabhu
oh yeah I pointed that out long ago :)
pbeaulieu joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
Can I POSSE someone else's notes as mine?
#
snarfed
no, you can't
#
snarfed
it works similar to relmeauth. it only lets you publish content from the domain that's in your silo's web site field
#
snarfed
aaronpk: yes, right. you can posse his content for him, but not anyone else's
#
aaronpk
that still seems bad
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah that was my secret note :(
#
snarfed
oh definitely, agreed. it's missing some auth there
#
snarfed
heh, it definitely can't see (or posse) non-public stuff
#
snarfed
but yes, extra checks there would be nice
#
snarfed
just hasn't become a priority
#
snarfed
i punted because i'd need to add something like indieauth login, which would take a bit of work
#
aaronpk
snarfed: i'm working on an indieauth client to help bootstrap services before implementing the whole flow
#
KartikPrabhu
wouldn't setting authorization_endpoint as indieauth just work?
#
aaronpk
i don't think bridgy has any sort of auth of its own, it just uses silo auth directly cause that's all it needs right now
#
aaronpk
this is an ugly version: http://client.indieauth.com/signin but my ios app uses it right now
#
aaronpk
cause the last thing I wanted to do was implement indieauth+oauth in objective C
#
aaronpk
so if Bridgy Publish can post a syndicated version out to Twitter, it should have a mechanism for notifying your site of the Tweet URL
#
aaronpk
GWG: nice!
#
aaronpk
one note... might be helpful to add some sort of border or drop shadow to the screenshots of the interfaces like http://david.shanske.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Screenshot-from-2014-05-26-200431.png because right now it looks like a real form
#
GWG
aaronpk: What is?
#
GWG
Let me see what I can do.
#
GWG
I just set up the manual POSSE to G+
#
aaronpk
i just mean the screenshots in that post
#
aaronpk
they look like the real part of the webpage
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: bridgy/publish does send the url see: https://www.brid.gy/about#response
#
GWG
I wish it would stop doing that every time I update
#
aaronpk
GWG: that's correct behavior for your site, but kind of incorrect behavior of the IRC bridge
#
GWG
aaronpk: I think I fixed that.
#
GWG
aaronpk: I meant the IRC
#
aaronpk
in IRC it should say something like "updated" instead of "linked to"
#
aaronpk
or just ignore it
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I also probably sent you a webmention.
#
KartikPrabhu
should have some notification page for new things on the site
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: I don
#
aaronpk
KartikPrabhu: the convention seems to be making a /mentions page like http://aaronparecki.com/mentions and http://waterpigs.co.uk/mentions/
#
KartikPrabhu
s/I don/I don't see any
#
Loqi
KartikPrabhu meant to say: GWG: I don't see any
#
GWG
I linked to your no comment story
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: yes I have seen those... :)
#
aaronpk
also see: http://indiewebcamp.com/mention-app which will send you push notifications about mentions if you publish a page like that
#
KartikPrabhu
oo neat...
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: link to your post?
#
aaronpk
(it doens't exist yet)
#
aaronpk
(but is well spec'd out)
#
GWG
IT gave me a 500 error when I tried to send it with your form
#
KartikPrabhu
aa then something wrong on my end... will look into it :)
#
GWG
I wanted to give you props, and you are propless?
#
KartikPrabhu
haha! I will use your post to debug... biut first some manner of dinner
#
aaronpk
hm dinner is not a bad idea
#

bret adobe brackets is pretty nice
#
bret
i have an old computer and it runs terribly on it unfortunately
#
rascul
ahh yeah
#
bret
but i agree, really nice!
#
bret
same issue with light table and atom editor
#
bret
sublime manages to still be fairly snappy even on old hardware
#
GWG
Thinking about adding more metadata. What would a location field attached to a post be like?
#
bret
What is location?
#
bret
is that how that works?
#
Loqi
location is a key aspect of checkin and event posts http://indiewebcamp.com/location
#
aaronpk
needs an indieweb examples section
#
snarfed
aaronpk: re an old comment of yours, bridgy publish returns the id and url of the newly created tweet/fb post in the webmention response
#
aaronpk
yeah that might cover it
#
GWG
I've been adopting a two pronged approach to adding features.
#
GWG
Manually adding the data, then automatically adding it
#
snarfed
manual++
#
Loqi
manual has 1 karma
#
aaronpk
manually doing things is a great way to test them out. then automate if successful.
#
GWG
For example, I just added the variables for syndication links
#
GWG
A future step is to pull them from Bridgy and other sources automatically into said variables, instead of filling them into the boxes I set up
#
KartikPrabhu
is quite annoyed with having to edit MySQL field lengths all the time :|
#
aaronpk
KartikPrabhu: just use TEXT
#
KartikPrabhu
instead of char or others... hmm interesting...
#
KartikPrabhu
which is why I i should just build my file-storage
#
aaronpk
unless you're talking about millions of records there's not a lot of downsides to just using a TEXT column
gregone joined the channel
#
aaronpk
okay... we should no longer see duplicate mentions
#
aaronpk
it was the least I could do
#
GWG
aaronpk: Thank you. I found the duplication annoying
#
GWG
What are the new parameters?
#
GWG
How does it decide something is a dupe?
#
aaronpk
webmention.io just won't send an irc notification if it's already sent it in the past
#
GWG
aaronpk: I really wish I had someone who did things so fast working for my employer.
#
GWG
We've had the same problem on and off for 10 years on our website.
#
GWG
We finally had the idea...why are we trying to prove to the web team there is a problem? Let's ask them. They must keep data on failures in the logs.
j12t joined the channel
#
GWG
Guess what...they don't.
#
GWG
On a positive note, documentation and logging suddenly seem so very important to me.
snarfed joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i have sort of the opposite problem with logging
#
GWG
aaronpk: Too much of it?
#
aaronpk
by default I try to log too much, a lot of it ends up being not important except for in the short term, and then is a burden to store
#
GWG
I set up collectd on my server to gather all sorts of stats...and I probably use them sparingly.
#
GWG
I made some nice graphs
#
GWG
I get more use out of an install of monit and a license for Pushover.
#
KartikPrabhu
which threw my parser into a fit.
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I know. I messed it up when I was trying to fix it.
#
GWG
Next project
#
KartikPrabhu
aah ok :) feel free to resend the mention, I have it done now
#
GWG
You account now for bad coding?
#
GWG
Or you want me to wait til I fix the problem I created while trying to fix the problem?
#
KartikPrabhu
no, I am truncating the title of your post since the wrong one is picked up
#
GWG
Interesting
#
GWG
I am going to be returning to the theme work next, as I just finished ripping out the comment section into a separate plugin
#
KartikPrabhu
sure thing
#
GWG
Much of my theme work, as I mentioned, lately is completing destroying my previous work

oh no I mentioned that in the post

#
GWG
Cyborgcamp?
#
CaptainCalliope
I.. ok. This was an unexpected place for my tweet to show up.
#
CaptainCalliope
Happening at MIT in October.
#
GWG
Hello, CaptainCalliope.
#
CaptainCalliope
Hi!
#
GWG
What brings you here?
#
GWG
Other than the obvious?
#
CaptainCalliope
Oh, plots to take back the web, etc etc.
#
GWG
CaptainCalliope: So, the Captain refers to your rank in the Internet Liberation Army?
#
CaptainCalliope
Been a remote admirerer of IndieWebCamp since its inception. Looks like I'll finally be able to participate in one.
#
CaptainCalliope
And no, didnt' even know the Internet Liberation Army was a thing. It's more whimsical.
#
GWG
CaptainCalliope: Which one?
#
GWG
CaptainCalliope: It's a thing? I just made it up I thought.
#
CaptainCalliope
The title of Captain.
#
rascul
forks the Internet Liberation Army into the People's Internet Liberation Army
#
CaptainCalliope
Huzzah! Interoperable made-up armies!
#
GWG
forks the People's Internet Liberation Army into the Popular Front for the Liberation of Internetdom
#
CaptainCalliope
I'm a volunteer with Mozilla and do some Code for America stuff here in Boston.
#
rascul
there's an indieweb thing in cambridge later this year
#
CaptainCalliope
Which is what brought me here. :)
#
GWG
CaptainCalliope: Ah, Boston....Okay.
#
CaptainCalliope
Just found out.
#
GWG
I thought you might be coming to the East one.
#
rascul
i may be able to go to the cambridge thing
#
rascul
it's still months away so i have time to build my site first :)
#
GWG
Good move
#
CaptainCalliope
So, I'm interested in helping with the event. Possibly helping organize. Maybe trying to see if I can get Mozilla to foot the lunch bill. Would CaseOrganic be the main person to speak with about this?
#
aaronpk
CaptainCalliope: for boston? Yep! or myself, since I'll be there too
#
CaptainCalliope
Sweet!
#
CaptainCalliope
I've added this room to my autojoin list, so I'll be around.
#
KartikPrabhu
neat! welcome :)
#
CaptainCalliope
Community organizing is most of what I do, so ping me for anything. :)
#
aaronpk
awesome!
#
GWG
aaronpk: A chance to meet you in person? I should stop by.
#
aaronpk
will definitely be in touch then
#
GWG
Hmmm...not likely.
#
GWG
Oh, well
#
GWG
Why is the parser showing my entire article as the name?
#
aaronpk
probably missing a p-name property, so it's using the implied name rules
#
GWG
aaronpk: I'd better start looking
#
GWG
There is one that I see
#
GWG
I'm using the article I posted earlier
#
aaronpk
there is something odd
#
GWG
Oh?
#
aaronpk
it's hard to see
#
aaronpk
i think there might be a mismatched close tag somewhere messing everything up
#
GWG
I'm trying to find it myself.

KartikPrabhu: Can you clarify?
#
KartikPrabhu
not microformats errors
snarfed and squeakytoy joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: you have a <div> with class=h-entry and id=primary but then inside that you have an <article> with class="hentry h-as-article"
#
KartikPrabhu
the p-name is then scoped to the <article> with class=h-as-article but not to the first h-entry
#
aaronpk

#
Loqi
KartikPrabhu has 28 karma
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: I was looking at the source because my webmention parser also gave the whole article as name :P
#
rascul
sounds like that was harder to find than my looking for red!
#
KartikPrabhu
also due to all the practice with mf2py I can parse microformats easily... not sure if that gets me into any superhero league ;)
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: What would you recommend?
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: do you know what is inserting the first h-entry?
#
GWG
I only see one in the page though
#
GWG
But, yes.
#
KartikPrabhu
wordpress is known to do weird stuff with old microformats and new ones... for instance in your case there is one h-entry (microformats2) and a different hentry (microformats1)
#
KartikPrabhu
you want to remove the first and add it to the second
#
GWG
I removed it from the second and added it to the first
#
GWG
Because the article enclosure didn't include the comment section.
#
KartikPrabhu
aah then you also want to remove the "h-as-article" from the <article> because anything that is h-* will count as a microformat "head"
#
GWG
Well, I may try to move the /article till after the comment-form.
caseorganic joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
yes that seems better... but then all the "h-entry h-as-article" should be on the <article>
#
GWG
Yes.
#
GWG
My original solution was wrong
#
GWG
I moved the h-entry
#
KartikPrabhu
cool let me know if the microformats are still coming out wrong
#
rascul
GWG i now see a </main> on that link on line 253 but there's no <main>
#
KartikPrabhu
another thing you might want to do is move the "p-category" to each tag instead of the container
#
GWG
rascul: I'll look for a main.
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I think I fixed h-entry
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: yeah I checked that look good.
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: That might take a bit to add the individual p-category. But let me have a look.
caseorganic joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu
the thing is right now you have a category as "category1 category2" instead of being a list of 2 categories
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: on the quill homepage, if I click "Sign in" with a blank URL field it throws errors "no authorization endpoint". instead you should add "required" so that it saves a request and gives the correct error :)
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: I fixed it for categories. Need to write a custom tag function to do it for tags.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah microformats don't distinguish between them
#
GWG
KartikPrabhu: Try it now
#
KartikPrabhu
yup works :)
#
GWG
Glad that is fixed.
#
GWG
Should I have marked up my link to your article?
#
GWG
rascul: I see a main and a /main
#
rascul
oh i see main now
#
GWG
I may mess the markup up again
#
GWG
I keep ripping pieces out of the thing.
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: no. unless your article is a "reply", "like", or "repost"
#
GWG
Well, in one case, it is sort of a reply
#
rascul
GWG firefox says there's something wrong with it http://rascul.io/tmp/gwg.png
#
GWG
Odd. But there is still a main
#
rascul
running it through w3c validator could be helpful
snarfed joined the channel
#
GWG
I may do that. I haven't in a while.
#
GWG
I've made so many little changes.
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: that is because at the start you have <main> then <article> so you should be closing them as </article> first and then </main>
#
KartikPrabhu
you might also want to be careful about the <div> in the middle. the correct order is </article></main></div>
#
rascul
oh i see, the /main /div /article are in the wrong order
#
rascul
heh KartikPrabhu wins
#
aaronpk
ooh what's the prize?
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah what's the prize?
#
rascul
i didn't plan this far ahead
#
GWG
Again, my fault
#
GWG
I did that quickly when I fixed the other problem
#
GWG
Fixed now
#
GWG
So, what is missing now

only thing I would point out is that your really detailed h-card is a child of the h-entry, but the h-entry’s author is much less detailed — why not just make your detailed h-card the author h-card?
#
GWG
barnabywalters: My mother told me she doesn't know what the heck I'm talking about.
#
barnabywalters
GWG: ha ha, yep I get that often too, so try to post at least once or twice a week about non-web stuff :)
#
GWG
Well, the h-card is in the sidebar, which is now inside the content.
pfefferle joined the channel
#
GWG
I changed it because of the fact the comment section was outside the h-entry
#
GWG
I may need to rearrange things to move it out.
pbeaulieu joined the channel

GWG
If you look at the page visually, I have this sidebar I'm barely using.
tilgovi joined the channel
#
GWG
So, I don't have a use for the sidebar right now, yet I have one.
#
GWG
Which seems stupid.
#
luxagraf
surely we could come up with something better than "facepile"...?
#
GWG
luxagraf: It is a term already in use
#
luxagraf
terrible word
#
GWG
I didn't come up with it
#
luxagraf
GWG: oh I wasn't directing that at you, that words been grating on me ever since i heard a facebook engineer use it
#
GWG
barnabywalters: I could do the detailed h-card for each h-entry and hide the details I don't want visible.
#
GWG
luxagraf: I created the /facepile page on indieweb
#
GWG
barnabywalters: But I have that business card like display in the sidebar.
#
GWG
luxagraf: I feel responsible.
#
GWG
barnabywalters: That i think I can fix.
#
barnabywalters
so all you have to do is add p-author to the class attribute, and remove the smaller h-card, and it becomes the author
tobiastom_ joined the channel
#
GWG
barnabywalters: What about on the main page?
#
GWG
Where I have multiple h-entries?
#
luxagraf
GWG: where does h-as-article come from? I can't find that on microformats.org
#
GWG
luxagraf: Where did I take it from?
#
barnabywalters
GWG: well, the sidebar won’t be part of any one of them, so the p-author has no effect
#
GWG
luxagraf: pfefferle 's code, actually.
#
barnabywalters
unless you make the page an h-feed, in which case the h-card would be the p-author and the h-entries children
#
barnabywalters
which is how my site works
#
luxagraf
okay, i was just wondering if there was a definition somewhere
#
barnabywalters
either approach is perfectly valid
#
GWG
barnabywalters: The same code generates the single page and the h-feed.
#
GWG
I think I may have to do it that way.
#
barnabywalters
GWG: so you should still be able to just add p-author to the sidebar class attribute and everything will work
#
GWG
It's non-standard Wordpress implementation, because Wordpress assumes multiple authors, but I can work with that.
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: so that's been confusing me for a while, what's the advantage of making the whole page an h-feed?
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: h-as-* refer to activitystream object/verb types — they’re published experimentally by a few people but not AFAIK consumed by anyone
#
luxagraf
i.e. should i do that?
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: got it
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: RE why h-feed — it’s a point of discussion, and both approaches (using h-feed or bare h-entries) are perfectly valid and supported by consumers. more details http://indiewebcamp.com/h-feed and http://indiewebcamp.com/feed, let me know if you have further questions

barnabywalters: the validator tells me to use u-url, but it's a permalink page which seems strange to me, shouldn't it just assume that the url is the url?
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: it seems strange, but is useful when, for example, “social media tools” add annoying utm_source query parameters
#
ben_thatmustbeme
I think it makes sense, it what defines that it is the permalink
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: hmm, good point. hadn't thought of that.
#
luxagraf
ben_thatmustbeme: to me the rel=permalink pattern does that more clearly, hey, maybe that's me
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yes, but that depends on how you got to the page
#
ben_thatmustbeme
if you get to the permalink from a link that doesn't have rel=permalink... how would you know

#
barnabywalters
the advantage of having u-url as well is mainly for feed or archive pages with multiple entries on – most people also put it on permalink pages for consistency
#
barnabywalters
but consumers should also consume rel=canonical, so go ahead and publish that, and if it doesn’t work it’s a prod to the consumer to fix their code :)

#
luxagraf
for easy copy paste
tilgovi joined the channel
#
luxagraf
am i correct in thinking that there really is no h-* syntax for marking up a photo gallery?
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: there’s no microformat vocabulary specifically for that
#
barnabywalters
the best thing is probably to use h-feed and h-entry, and give the h-entries u-photo properties, but no (or little) content
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: what about hMedia? Never got updated to mf2 syntax it seems...
#
barnabywalters
when choosing what microformats vocabulary to use, the main consideration should be “how do I want people to be able to use this content”
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: hMedia never really got consumed by anything
#
barnabywalters
so there was no compelling case to create an equivalent microformats2 vocabulary
luxagraf joined the channel
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: in the case of h-entries/u-photo wouldn't a consumer rightly consider the photo to be supplemental, rather than the actual entry?
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: maybe a way around that would be to not have a content property
#
barnabywalters
another way around it would be to have the HTML for the photo *in* the content property
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: ah, i like that better
#
barnabywalters
this does open up the question of what consumers should do with a photo property
#
barnabywalters
only show it if they’re not showing the content?
caseorganic joined the channel
#
barnabywalters
it’s a similar problem with the summary property — should the summary be an excerpt from the content, or shown alongside it?
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: yeah the summary example on the wiki seems to imply that it would be considered supplemental rather than an excerpt
#
luxagraf
which threw me at first, but then it seems like the more common use in the wild is as an excerpt
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: agreed, that’s the more common usage. my current article markup doesn’t do this and it’s bothering me
#
luxagraf
my assumption with u-photo was that it would be considered similarly tangential/supplemental but maybe I'm wrong
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: real-world usage is the only way to figure out what actually works best
#
barnabywalters
so go ahead and mark up galleries with whatever makes sense
#
barnabywalters
you’re on the cutting edge ;)
#
luxagraf
ha. well, I'm not aware of any consumers for photo galleries so there probably isn't much point right now anyway
#
luxagraf
I'm just in a metadataforallthethings kind of mode right now
#
barnabywalters
luxagraf: if you add h-feed h-entry markup then anything which can consume notes can consume your photos
#
barnabywalters
e.g. show them in a feed reader, or in reply contexts
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: the problem is I don't currently have permalinks for the photos, just galleries of photos
#
luxagraf
barnabywalters: still working out how to move away from my flickr-to-personal site workflow and what I want to do with my photos in the end
#

kylewm: Not sure what you mean by “an indiewebcamp cert”, but changing to a new cert is just the same as installing a new one. It’s a complex sequence, but not difficult. I recommend ssls.com, who resell certs from multiple providers and have a 5-year cert for $25 total. (Plus all the fancier, more expensive ones like wildcards and such)
#
dariusdunlap
kylewm: The process for generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and installing the cert differs a bit by hosting company or platform. One of my domains is real straightforward, but the other involves sending a support request for the CSR.
#
dariusdunlap
Sorry if you know all this.

dariusdunlap
A lot of my certs over the years have been self-generated. Which works fine if it’s just for your personal OpenVPN certs, wprdpress admin panel certs and stuff like that.
#
aaronpk
dariusdunlap: yeah this indiewebcamp authority is similar to self-signed, but you won't see any browser warnings at all if you install the root cert
#
dariusdunlap
These cheap (and FREE!) certificate authority certs were a real revelation!

aaronpk
so it's slightly better than using self-signed certs
#
aaronpk
bnvk: nice!
#

bnvk: no notes about html format?
#
bnvk
oddly, the format that seems simplest for human readability + a standard + ease of implementing is email…
#
bnvk
IMHO
#
aaronpk
yeah the email format is quite tempting actually, especially cause it's easier to add other metadata than the IRC txt format
#
dariusdunlap
At one point I was fairly organized and had done the same thing… basically set up my own private cert authority and installed the root cert on my computers (and my wife’s)
#
aaronpk
bnvk: can I add the HTML format I'm using for my text messages?

and the big gain is it can imported into any standard mail client and it should thread conversations and replicate that experience the best

bnvk: are you pretty well settled on the one-file-per-month format?
#
bnvk
well, the thinking with Mbox is that it is 1 file (per conversation) which contains multiple messages
#
aaronpk
right, except for mbox
#
bnvk
so I was thinking 1 file per conversation
#
aaronpk
"conversation" becomes harder to define with a long-running thread like SMS
#
bnvk
Facebook API has some threshold cutoff of segmenting
#
aaronpk
I split mine up into files by month regardless of whether it's part of the same "conversation"
#
bnvk
well that is tricky
#
aaronpk
I didn't see any benefit to try to guess conversations from the SMS threads
#
bnvk
yah, SMS might be harder
#
bnvk
I think Facebooks is date based- they try to detch abonormally long gaps and then group them that way

it would get several of my conversations wrong then :)

once I dropped the idea of needing to support photos like I do on flickr it became much easier to solve

I'm storing my family photos at Smugmug right now.

bret: like mine?
#
bret
luxagraf yeah totally!
#
bret
looks great
#
GWG
I instead only post photos I want public to my actual site.
#
luxagraf
bret: thanks. i use leaflet http://leafletjs.com/, with leaflet-providers https://github.com/leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers to load the fancy tiles
#
bret
I have played with that before*
#
aaronpk
oh yeah we put the arcgis tiles into leaflet-providers
#
bret
just a matter of time

bret: if you hit any snags let me know i'll try to help (I'm no expert though)
#
luxagraf
aaronpk: yup. just had to change one line from http to https
#
bret
I'm not sure how to really approach it quite yet
#
bret
if I should do a separate program or generate some kind of json file with jekyll
#
luxagraf
bret: I would go with a json output file from jekyll myself. just add a couple custom yaml tags for lat/lon and then loop through all your posts and write those a json file.

bret
also not sure if I want to make a separate set of files for locations or have them pegged to notes
#
GWG
Can I ask you all some more basic location questions?
#
bret
I'm eyeing a secondary post folder that keeps track of uninteresting things like likes, and possibly checkins and keep those out of my main stream
#
bret
GWG just ask!
#
luxagraf
GWG: sure

If I want to add location support to my notes and other data types, what forms should that take?
#
GWG
What services do people use for that sort of thing?
#
GWG
And considering I rarely want people to know my exact address...
#
GWG
How do I set parameters
#
luxagraf
GWG: re: services
#
luxagraf
at the moment I use geodjango which handles a lot of the dirty work for me and allows my admin interface to just present a map that I can drop pins on
#
bret
I'm not really sure exactly, but I would look at others who have done something close to what you want
#
aaronpk
I publish my current location on my site to two decimals of precision
#
aaronpk
and I reverse geocode to a city name for a lot of the location on posts, so you'll see things like "Portland, OR" on notes and stuff
#
luxagraf
GWG: However for the photos solution I'm building I'm leaning toward reverse geocoding using http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/

aaronpk: Do you share the coordinates?
#
aaronpk
GWG: not yet, still trying to figure out how to do that in a not crazy way
#
GWG
aaronpk: But you store them in your database?
#
luxagraf
I publish very accurate location data on my site and hide in my bunker
#
luxagraf
Actually I used to use flickr's geofencing feature to limit geodata close to my house, so i suppose i'll need to replicate that somehow
#
GWG
aaronpk: I would if I was at an event...such as Indiewebcamp, but not places I don't want people to know about.
#
aaronpk
yea makes sense
#
aaronpk
but in that case I usually publish a venue specifically, rather than just lat/lng
#
GWG
aaronpk: How do you get your location?
#
GWG
It sounds like I might as well just put in a text box.
#
aaronpk
this app runs all the time and sends it to my server every couple minutes https://github.com/esripdx/Offline-Logger-iOS

GWG: you use wordpress? something like this might work: http://www.wpgeo.com/
#

heh, no
#
GWG
aaronpk: Darn
#
aaronpk
but there's probably 100 existing apps that you could use on android
#
aaronpk
90 of which probably suck :P
#
GWG
aaronpk: Generally low opinion of the OS?
#
aaronpk
maybe :)
#
aaronpk
I had an android at one point
#
GWG
aaronpk: It has gotten better since the G1 days
#
aaronpk
mine was an HTC Evo 4G
#
snarfed
GWG: just fyi, wordpress already has geolocation support built in, and the android app can send it automatically
#
snarfed
it might require an extra plugin to display though. finding...
#
luxagraf
It seems the general consensus is that StartSSL is the way to go for free https... is that what people here are using?
#
snarfed
luxagraf: often yes
#
snarfed
what is https?
#
Loqi
HTTPS is an abbreviation for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, a protocol for secure communication, supported by web servers (like Apache & nginx) and browsers http://indiewebcamp.com/https
#
GWG
aaronpk: It was not the finest hour.
#
GWG
snarfed: I usually use the desktop.
#
GWG
I use startssl
#
luxagraf
They don't seem to do wildcards certs for free i see
#
aaronpk
well you have to pay to verify your identity, but then you can do free wildcard certs all day long
#
aaronpk
all year long actually
pbeaulieu joined the channel

aaronpk: wait so the $60 is to verify ident and the certifcate is free? i didn't catch that. interesting business model.

if i'm reading the logs right
#
kylewm
aaronpk: also, does indieauth.com can't read https://kylewm.com since i'm using a self-signed certificate... does that kinda defeat the purpose of having https?
#
KevinMarks
trading bio writing is a really good idea
#
aaronpk
kylewm: yeah for anything public you should get a real certificate, not use self-signed or the indiewebcamp ones
#
KartikPrabhu
is pretty bad at bio writing
#
kylewm
doh, it's not exactly public but i get your meaning
#
aaronpk
well if anybody besides computers under your direct control plan to access the https version of your site it's public
#
aaronpk
(and yes, I hopefuly eliminated duplicate mentions from the irc logs)
#
aaronpk
(either that or I eliminated all mentions...)

Example "My name is Tantek. I work on open web standards and the indie web. I code, design, run, climb, and fight for the users."
#
KartikPrabhu
GWG: a useful thing I have found is to use verbs... as in "I do so and so..."

allows you to be very broad and I think more complete

ah. you could maybe construct the right google site search (start with search in the log pages, then mess with inurl: or the time controls)
