afternoon all
#
snarfed
anyone else seen gradual degradation in twitter api's availability over the last few weeks?
#
snarfed
used to be only ~.2% of bridgy's twitter polls would time out on an api call (avg 2-10 calls per poll)
#
snarfed
now it's ~2.6%. order of magnitude increase. :/
#
snarfed
gRegor`: looking
#
snarfed
!tell gRegor` i suspect your bridgy access token has lost the write permission (somehow). try disabling and re-enabling publish?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
KevinMarks__
maybe everyone looking at analytics is bogging them down
#
snarfed
KevinMarks_: heh. it started ramping up weeks ago though

kylewm
snarfed: re Publish to Wordpress comments -- are there three separate ways to receive comments in wordpress wp.com, jetpack, and plain old comment form comments (is that what you have?)
#
kylewm
that is, I think the three ways to receive comments are: {wp.com, jetpack, comment form}
#
snarfed
kylewm: kind of. they're not disjoint, more like extensions of the built in comment feature
#
snarfed
kylewm: oh, you mean, how to create them programmatically? in that case, wp.com and jetpack are the same: both handle the REST API
#
kylewm
ah ok, so I think those were the two separate issues tantek was asking about -- comment form vs. jetpack/wp.com
#
snarfed
hmm, maybe. i definitely interpreted it differently. meh, no matter!

lucasgonze
All done: http://s.gonze.com/ . Got the number of setup steps down from 7 to 4.
#
aaronpk
that's awesome
#
aaronpk
I thought about doing my short URLs that way. I will probably archive some of my shortURL domains that way when I stop using them to make new links
#
aaronpk
I like your trick of autogenerating new codes on requests for starter.txt
#
lucasgonze
that was most of the work. it's a php script.
#
bear
I use a variation of that method for my nginx configs to rewrite my old blog urls to the new domain - I was thinking of doing that for a shortener and now I see you have proved it would be useful
#
lucasgonze
it only works if the .htaccess generated by the script is not the .htaccess aliasing the script
#
lucasgonze
it's a super robust method
#
bear
nods
#
bear
my method involved creating a custom *.conf file that is included into nginx - the benefit of .htaccess is that it doesn't require a restart of the web server
#
lucasgonze
if there's a nginx-friendly syntax for the starter.txt output, it would be good to make a generator
#
lucasgonze
not hard at all to create nginx-starter.txt, once I know the rule file to generate
#
bear
for your RewriteRule ^jzPqF$ http://tinyurl.com/ [R,L] -> rewrite ^/jzPqF/$ http://tinyurl.com/ permanent;
#
bear
you can s/permanent/redirect/ to change it from a 301 to a 302
#
bear
the list of rewrite lines would go into a seperate file and then just included into the location / {} block for the subdomain

not many examples.that's interesting
#
acegiak
trying to work out how i want to do it
#
KartikPrabhu
I know kylewm has people tagigng
#
acegiak
cause at the moment i use a person's twitter @tag as the text of a link to their url
#
acegiak
yeah a cache is what i needithink
#
acegiak
im using my wordpress blogroll as a contact list at the moment so maybe ineed to use that
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah that could work

#

KartikPrabhu: While I have every confidence in my own team, I fear the higher ups at the university may begin blocking access to the fragmentions project. Have you pulled to your own fork recently?
#
KartikPrabhu
neuro`: very nice post indeed... I was meaning to write one similar in spirit maybe soon
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: not recently... i'll pull one now
#
JonathanNeal
It would be a good idea. There was some uncommunicated shutdown of access. After I’ve pulled the latest myself, I’ll email them about it.
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: done... I'll also make a local copy
#
kylewm
colintedford: KartikPrabhu: I like the proposed fragmentions icon, it reminds me of http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/King_Kai :P
#
KartikPrabhu
I had made my own version of fragmention icon wait I'll upload it
#
KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: local copy made
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: looking forward to it.
#
colintedford
JonathanNeal: Thanks. Hopefully someone with the skills to make something more finished out of it can do so.
#
colintedford
Ooh, or we can see what KartikPrabhu has!
#
JonathanNeal
Fusing the quotes and the link icon might be work experimenting in your design, colintedford.
#
colintedford
JonathanNeal: I'll mess around with it later; that had crossed my mind but one very brief experiment with it didn't pan out.

kylewm: Every time you use a fragmention you can imagine King Kai delivering it or speaking it :)
#
colintedford
KartikPrabhu: Ooh, nice.
#
KartikPrabhu
it s based on the link icons from Entypo so that version would have to be CC-SA . If a more liberal license is needed I can make one from scratch. I also haz SVG version ;)

KartikPrabhu
JonathanNeal: just so understand, the people at Chapman U can block access to fragmentions by changing the license?
#
JonathanNeal
KartikPrabhu: I’m more concerned with them removing the repository before we pulled the latest changes, if they somehow deemed it unfit.
#
KartikPrabhu
aah I see. well they can't now :P
#
KartikPrabhu
I'll "watch" it on github and periodically update my fork
#
JonathanNeal
The team I worked with was incredible, but I never really fit in with the institutional infrastructure or culture there. In my last few weeks, they really started tightening things down, restricting access, etc.

Added NPL time parsing for fun, try “meeting @test today at 16:30” make sure you add 2014-08-29 into publisheddate
#
barnabywalters
glennjones: that’s a nice touch!
#
barnabywalters
there’s an extra <time> element inside the <time datetime> attribute!
#
barnabywalters
and twitter usernames can’t have dots in
#
barnabywalters
listing which datetime segments are implied is SUPER useful — might be an idea to add timezone to the datetime info too — e.g. in this example the timezone is implied

Wow the server crashed while you where making your request

"Post Thumbnail, now Featured Image, is an image that is chosen as the representative image for Posts, Pages or Custom Post Types. The display of this image is up to the theme. This is especially useful for "magazine-style" themes where each post has an image. "
#
KevinMarks__
they didn't mention monoculture explicitly, which is why I pinged them to go on and explain
#
KevinMarks__
but they talked about it implicitly
#
tantek
it's funny, the monoculture pattern replicates so often and regularly, how could they not see it?

If everyone just uses the [software|protocol] I've come up with, it'll all be fixed!

that was it, they talked about diaspora and identica and tent

it's kind of subtle

I just kind of assumed any old tech person had developed a marketing/promo-language-filter.
#
KevinMarks__
the difference between interop and point integrations is subtle
#
tantek
from repeated exposure
#
KevinMarks__
gina talked about email as the only successful federated protocol
#
KevinMarks__
which is kinda ironic as they have an irc channel
#
tantek
KevinMarks: even email is failing as that, as in practice more and more folks are switching to hosted email by a large provider like gmail
#
aaronpk
irc isn't really federated tho
#
tantek
aaronpk true! irc is like diaspora in that regard. lots of little pods (servers), who don't talk with each other.

the "federation" people talk about is how there's a bunch of freenode servers rather than a single freenode server, but it's not like anyone can set up a server to join the pool

Hello, I'm looking to rent a IRC service to have a bot 24/7 in the channel I registered
#
tantek
tommorris: my user name is pen & pencil (the emojis aren't too readable in IRC)
#
tantek
lol indie-visitor
#
tantek
how did you register a channel as indie-visitor?
#
tommorris
tantek: do post them in IRC so I can copy-paste them on the iPhone. ;-)
#
indie-visitor
Am I in the wrong place?
#
indie-visitor
I did register it with another nick
#
aaronpk
I can't find pen, unless it's the fountain pen
#
tantek
excellent. type /nick yournick
#
indie-visitor
me?
#
indie-visitor
my nick is: alfacent
#
indie-visitor
just a sec
#
tantek
aaronpk, pen & pencil are right next to each other on iOS's emoji keyboard
#
aaronpk
ah ok. it says that user doesn't exist.

hi alfacent
#
alfacent
Hi
#
alfacent
I'm back
#
KevinMarks__
so, what was the question? You want an irc bot?
#
alfacent
So, can you help me with that?
#
alfacent
Yes, I want it to be 24/7 on the channel
#
tantek
alfacent - welcome and what's your website?
#
KevinMarks__
and do what?
#
alfacent
And do thinks like posting every new post/link from a specific subreddit. They have a rss feed for that
#
alfacent
things
#
alfacent
Also let users know of any tweets that contain specific words
#
alfacent
(from twitter into my channel)
#
alfacent
Can you help me out with this?
#
tantek
alfacent - why not aggregate all that to your own website instead? much more usable/visible/searchable
#
donpdonp
alfacent: an irc channel dedicated to irc bots might be more helpful
#
alfacent
do you know of any such channel?
#
tantek
alfacent - that's what I mean by searchable!
#
tantek
your asking that question demonstrates that it's hard to search for/in IRC channels and thus discovery is difficult (as you demonstrated).
#
tantek
whereas searching for indieweb sites is much easier
#
tantek
assuming you want to build a community around your specific subreddit
#
alfacent
right now I just want to get started with a bot to make this IRC channel more cool
#
alfacent
I don't want to have a website at this moment
#
tantek
but what if one already exists that is cool? do you want to duplicate the work?
#
alfacent
You are making my life difficult. I just want a bot in my IRC channel.
#
alfacent
it seems IRC bots is not your field of expertise. Am I right?
#
tantek
alfacent I am merely asking questions. If you know the answers it should not make your life difficult.
#
tantek
Why do you want your own IRC channel for a specific subreddit?
#
alfacent
why not?
#
tantek
better to have a community for a specific topic
#
neuro`
tantek: agree with your point about how difficult it is to search a IRC channel history. Tech companies have been struggling with that for ages (and are still)
#
tantek
which a website is a better suited for
#
alfacent
For people interested on that subreddit to get to know each other on IRC
#
aaronpk
alfacent: this channel is about the http://indiewebcamp.com community, and while we do use IRC and have bots, you will probably get better help from a channel dedicated to people making IRC bots.
#
tantek
alfacent - better to start with a website so that people interested in that topic can more easily find it! since IRC channels are so hard to find - as you demonstrated with your questions about IRC channels for bots.
#
tantek
if any such channels exist - good luck with your search!
#
aaronpk
also search around github as there are lots of IRC bot frameworks you can use
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu, kylewm_, aaronpk, regarding representative images for a post, did you see what GWG pointed to? http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Thumbnails
#
tantek
the WP community now calls them "Featured Images"
#
tantek
but I wonder if "Image" is too restrictive
#
aaronpk
interesting!
#
tantek
why not a featured video?
#
tantek
or heck, a featured audio clip?
#
aaronpk
have you seen any exmaples of people doing that?
#
tantek
yes! wikipedia
#
tantek
and many online media/news sites have featured video accompanying an article *instead* of featured image
#
tantek
and aaronpk, the biggest example, to which you yourself have contributed to - Twitter Cards
#
tantek
I should say /Twitter_Cards ;)
caseorganic joined the channel
#
neuro`
Twitter Cards provide a great case study of featured content, with markup, rules etc...
#
tantek
and how it is far too easy to overdesign metadata
#
neuro`
The worst part of it is that you nede to provide metadata for Twitter, Facebook and G+ repeating the same thing 3 times
#
KevinMarks__
well, G+ will read the FB ones
#
tantek
neuro`: or you reject them all and help create an open standard
#
tantek
instead of Dr. Seuss metacrap like "twitter:label1" and "twitter:label2"
#
neuro`
tantek: definitely agree with you (even though I'm using them for pure ego marketing presented as user experience)
#
neuro`
BTW, the variety of Twitter card is a self resignition of how they failed at analyzing the data by themselves.

tantek - nice, i'll give you a polite poke when the deadline passes \o/
#
tantek
KevinMarks__: they could have started with merely a u-featured URL for example
#
neuro`
tantek: they could, but I believe they need that much data to help display ads.
#
KevinMarks__
they could have started with allow us to attach metadata and seeing what we converged on
#
tantek
neuro`: I'm saying for 80 (90?) % of use-cases, all the other information can be derived from existing data
#
tantek
and say, content-type of the URL
#
tantek
KevinMarks__: hahaha yeah. Then rohit and I scared them with colorized tweets ;)
#
neuro`
tantek: sure, but why spending time and resources processing the data when you can have people format them for you for free?
#
tantek
they didn't expect anyone would fit an entire style sheet into 255 bytes ;)
#
KevinMarks__
so if I'm doing a fragmentionsession at mozfest, we will need a firefox plugin...
#
tantek
neuro`: the usual, can't trust metacrap
#
KevinMarks__
or is that a goal for the session? Port the plugin to FF?
#
neuro`
Colorized tweets? You mean like people using colors on IRC? Scary.
#
tantek
KevinMarks__: yes! what are the existing browser plugins?
#
tantek
or addons?
eschnou joined the channel

KevinMarks__
should we get JonathanNeal to move the code to the indieweb github?
#
tantek
neuro`: YES. I figured out a way to compress a style sheet, including rules, for styling chunks of the text in a tweet, into 256 bytes (or was it 512)

here's a funny article - gosh I'm amazed at how optimistically hypetastic journalists are about every little sneeze from a fashionable company: http://gigaom.com/2010/06/20/twitter-annotations-are-coming-what-do-they-mean-for-twitter-and-the-web/
#
aaronpk
KevinMarks__: I think webmention.com was registered way before we were doing webmentions
#
KevinMarks__
.org goes to the github
#
aaronpk
registered in 2007
#
KevinMarks__
anyone speak dutch and want to call bert?
#
aaronpk
i'm glad I got micropub.net
#
KevinMarks__
i have fragmention.com and org, but maybe i should get fragmentions.com too
#
KevinMarks__
or fragmentations as that is what everyone types ;)
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: featured image is good. but that is still different sounding than representative image
#
KevinMarks__
well, they make sense in different contexts - the splash image behind the top so you look like medium and every damn other site, and the image that is shown by sites linking to you
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: did you read the URL I pasted or the quote?
#
KevinMarks__
so is fragmention "Build and Teach the Web" or "Open Science and the Web" or "Open Data"
#
tantek
it specifically referred to *representative image*
#
tantek
Build and Teach the Web
#
KevinMarks__
right, and it was called thumbnail, which implies a small preview
#
tantek
it *was* called that
#
KevinMarks__
but then they changed it because it was used for splash images
#
tantek
note the evolution in terminology, likely due to experience from usage
#
tantek
so let's learn from their experience and simply skip to the answer
#
tantek
and rather than "featured image", drop the "image" and just use "featured"
#
bear
notes he has webmention.co and webmention.me registered
#
tantek
which would then allow for any of the kinds of objects/cards that Twitter bolluxed up with too much complexity
#
KevinMarks__
well, there is still an ambiguity of goals
#
tantek
bear - do you redirect them now?
#
bear
no, but give me a target...
#
bear
cname to indieweb wiki - on it
#
bear
or url redirect?

#
KevinMarks__
fragmention.com redirects to my post; fragmention.org to /fragmention
#
aaronpk
url redirect, cause cname can't go to a page obv
#
aaronpk
micropub.net redirects to indiewebcamp.com/micropub right now
#
tantek
KevinMarks: what goals? perhaps you can add them to a "use cases" section on http://indiewebcamp.com/link-preview
#
bear
aaronpk - yea, 2 beats after hitting enter I was like "d'oh!"
paulcp joined the channel
#
tantek
otherwise I say for now we go with WordPress's experience from "thumbnail" and conceptually "representative image" to "featured image", and drop the "image" from the name because it isn't needed.
#
tantek
thus a u-featured property, to link to an image (or video, or audio stream) that a "featured" piece of media for the post.
#
tantek
inside an h-entry obv
#
KartikPrabhu
u-featured hmmm must ruminate on that
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: does the change in meaning of u-photo then only apply to h-entry or also h-card?
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: feel free to pick apart my "proof" analysis above that results in that conclusion ;)
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: I certainly like dropping the "image"
#
KartikPrabhu
but just featured sounds too broad... does not convey any meaning as to what can possibly go there
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: I'm not sure any change in meaning of u-photo is necessitated in the general case
#
aaronpk
oh yeah there was a discussion of u-photo recently that I was supposed to chime in on but was AFK

#
KevinMarks__
is that a good precedent? or are we better off explicitly distingusing the 'image to one side" and "image as focus" cases?
#
tantek
brilliant! the internet archive captured the tweet styler prototype that Rohit and I hacked up !
#
tantek
using Twitter annotations
#
tantek
including the TSS to CSS converter I wrote, in CASSIS of course: https://web.archive.org/web/20140829191332js_/http://xent.com/tss.js
#
tantek
yes with just that little bit of CASSIS code, we demonstrated how trivial it was to arbitrarily style tweets in a handful of bytes in a single tweet annotation
pauloppenheim joined the channel
#
tantek
we started with colorizing a "Hello world" tweet in two colors
#
aaronpk
so what you're saying is you turned twitter into myspace
#
tantek
and finished with showing how you could recreate the poster for the hackfest in a single tweet + TSS
#
tantek
aaronpk, no we would have turned *every tweet* into a myspace
#
aaronpk
bear: lol! that's a lot of them
#
aaronpk
i'm keeping webmention.io the same :)
#
tantek
the look of horror on ev's face was hilarious, and then we realized afterwards that we likely scared them into killing off twitter annotations
#
bear
yea, I found that I had the others - completely forgot about them
yakker joined the channel
#
tantek
because we'd gone the extra step of releasing TSS decoding as open source - so that *every* twitter client could trivially add support for displaying it (encoding was pretty trivial to)
#
tantek
and once twitter clients supported colorized tweets, there would be no turning back
#
tantek
to try it out, go to https://web.archive.org/web/20100603210918/http://xent.com/rtf and simply pick various options from the "presets:" pop-up menu - it will prefill the "tweet" "tss" text input fields, auto-compute the resultant "html" and then display it inline below.

it occurs to me that they already have this "notes" concept at the bottom of every post (their term for "reactions", which includes likes and reblogs and responses)

and it would be a pretty cool advocacy for having your own indie blog to say: hey, you can interact with your friends on Tumblr and your friends on Facebook and your friends on Twitter, all from the same place

ben_thatmustbeme: that's a UI prototype right? because those items are just navigation links AFAIK - not actual "contact" URLs per http://tantek.com/2014/084/b1/urls-people-focused-mobile-communication
#
aaronpk
some of them are contact URLs
#
ben_thatmustbeme
yeah, the ones i felt it made sense for are
#
KevinMarks__
G+ rather than Hangouts
#
ben_thatmustbeme
most of those require login

this fits the "apps with difernt modalities have differnt icons" idea

i wish hangouts had a way to link to start a connection
#
tantek
aaronpk, ben_thatmustbeme contact URLs are not just "elsewhere" URLs
#
tantek
they're supposed to *initiate* contact
#
aaronpk
right. the first several are real contact URLs
#
tantek
not just take you to another profile where get distracted by another list of posts
#
ben_thatmustbeme
hmmm, good point I'll likely split them up
#
tantek
aaronpk - no, NONE of them are "real contact URLs"

aaronpk
you must be looking at something else

as posted above

ben_thatmustbeme
i wanted to put all my "digital card" in one place" i was thinking more as "contact list entry" not "contact me"
#
tantek
*all* of them take you to another profile where get distracted by another list of posts
#
aaronpk
SMS, email, call, AIM, fb message are all real contact URLs
#
ben_thatmustbeme
tantek, login and you will see those
#
tantek
ohhh ok
#
ben_thatmustbeme
sms, email, call, aim, fb are all white-list only
#
tantek
so those make sense then as contact buttons
#
tantek
other profiles don't really - since they just provide another form of non-contact distraction
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i need some way to divide the list. But i want to still have elsewhere links for people to connect me with other locations
#
tantek
why not use the Twitter DM link at least?
#
tantek
instead of just to your Twitter profile?
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i have both, but you are correct, doesn't make sense to have that behind white-list and the twitter link not
#
tantek
similarly with FB - since you're already providing your FB id -
#
tantek
use FB Messenger link instead
#
tantek
and then from a UI perspective, providing profile links actually makes it *worse*
#
tantek
since you're diluting contact links with non-contact links
#
tantek
and worsening the paradox of choice
#
tantek
some of which don't even perform a contact function! so it becomes a guessing game as to which buttons actually "work" to contact you vs. read you
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i agree, i need to categorize Contact vs Follow type of idea
#
ben_thatmustbeme
non login shows FB message and Twitter DM now

"They also start using phone calls and face-to-face chats to resolve issues quickly, so they don’t metastasize into email threads the length of “War and Peace.”"

hm, not sure where in the chain this is happening, but caseorganic noticed that some of the comments here say "mentioned this on twitter.com" instead of showing the tweet text http://cyborgcamp.com/2014/08/cyborgcamp-mit/
#
aaronpk
oh funny... that's actually Lin's favorite of benwerd's tweet that's showing that
#
KartikPrabhu
aaronpk: ha yeah I have noticed one instance of that too
#

snarfed, kylewm possible Bridgy bug? ^^^
#
snarfed
aaronpk: probably expected, due to https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/154
#

aaronpk: https://kartikprabhu.com/article/indieweb-love-blog#mentions here the 2nd tantek face is tantek fav-ing a tweet which mentioned this post
#
snarfed
(aaronpk, tantek, this is actually part of what you all have been advocating for: stricter interpretation of what's considered a direct reply/like vs just a mention :P)
#
snarfed
aaronpk, assuming you're using pfefferle's wp plugins, i believe he always just renders "mentioned this" for mentions, no snippet
#
aaronpk
well +1 from caseorganic then, she just made a comment to me about how weird it was that some of the tweets only say "mentioned"
#
aaronpk
snarfed: there's several tweets that show the full tweet text and "via twitter.com" at the bottom
#
snarfed
aaronpk: yes, i expect those were sent with u-reply or u-like-of, as opposed to just u-mention
#
snarfed
details in the issue i linked

snarfed, hence "possible … bug", as I figured I was likely just getting confused ;)
#
snarfed
tantek: agreed! trying to get all the semantics right, for all cases, is complex and confusing.
#
snarfed
this is also closely related to distinguishing posse from non-posse, like we've been discussing

the logic that's running now is (i think) the best consensus we have so far, minus KevinMarks's 24h heuristic. we'll definitely keep iterating! feedback welcome on the wiki and on https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/51 and https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/154

KevinMarks: re: that NYT email article, what if I told you I just did an experiment with waiting a week to read email? Forget 7-7 rule, about the the every 7 days rule?
#
tantek
and I didn't miss that much, and the actionable things I did miss (expired) were not really a big loss.
#
tantek
this is really interesting

I kind of do that, in that I don't ever "process all" email but I let "important" ping my phone
#
tantek
I have a whitelist that pings my phone
#
tantek
"phone" haha. I might as well call it a jeejah http://anathem.wikia.com/wiki/Jeejah

How to Internet: 1) Read cool post 2) Leave supportive comment & link 3) Receive email from author saying comment is spam 4) They delete it.

what happened to Brett Slatkin when he commented referencing POSSE on that winer post
#
tantek
trying to get him to upload a screenshot of his comment to the indiewebcamp wiki

you know, for an example of a /Disqus silo comment

and a real world example of why you should #ownyourcomments

that's annoying, @haxor - did you post the comment on your own site too? That's what @davewiner recommends http://scripting.com/2014/08/27/#a1409147402 #indieweb
