Hi, Schnitz
#
Schnitz
Hi GWG
#
GWG
How's the site coming?
#
Schnitz
GWG: You mean, uhmm... my indieweb-friendly tumblr site I'm working on?
#
GWG
Yes
#
Schnitz
Thanks for asking, I'm personally extremely satisified with what I got to work in last week
#
GWG
I'm just updating my itch list.

So back to on topic, very happy with how belp.audio works with webmentions. I cleaned up the template just now and uploaded it GitHub. No perfect, but a start. I wrote little User Experience write-up on the Wiki where I collected my experiences with this, trying to address non-technical people coming for the first time from Tumblr: http://indiewebcamp.com/User:Belp.audio/MyTumblr
#

On a related side note, I'm a bit positively surprised how much traffic there is on indiewebcamp. I opened up this more personal page (see above link) and it has already accessed over 100 times since 24 hours. For a quite hidden page deep down this is nice. Hope its not all bots :-)

#
rhiaro
kevinmarks.. Ohh boy. No idea what is happening there.
#
[kevinmarks]
Hm, they're blank on your homepage too
#
rhiaro
Something is triggering a new bit in my micropub endpoint
#
rhiaro
Presumably my new posting app
#
rhiaro
But it's not corresponding to me using it
#
rhiaro
I've clearly majorly screwed something up here
#
rhiaro
turns everything off
#
tantek
does anyone here post "played" posts, or perhaps "performed" for when they themselves play a musical instrument or do a musical performance?
#
tantek
in contrast to say a /listen post
#
tantek
thinking about this as I'm re-teaching myself piano this year and will likely be capturing when I feel confident playing various pieces again
#
tantek
perhaps even recording and posting
#
aaronpk
neat. I hadn't even thought about that
#
tantek
"play" could be so many things, like games etc.
#
tantek
though in music track terminology, "performer" is used, so perhaps "perform" is a reasonable shorthand name for this kind of post
#
tantek
I vaguely remember acegiak capturing / posting "play" of games posts
#
[kevinmarks]
That was why we picked it as a verb in activity streams originally
#
aaronpk
I would assume "perform" implies audience, so it would seem strange to use that when just noting playing things yourself
#
tantek
which "it" ?
#
tantek
aaronpk: what if the audience is as a result of the post?
#
[kevinmarks]
"play" as a verb
#
aaronpk
that is more like a recording then
#
tantek
aaronpk: in musical recordings there is (typically) no specific audience you are performing for
#
davidmead
happy new year all :-)
#
aaronpk
i guess i could see noting "practice" and "perform"
#
rhiaro
kevinmarks: lolll bug in my mp endpoint wasn't doing auth properly so I think crawlers must've been triggering blank posts all night \o/
#
[kevinmarks]
Music metadata in general is crap at this
#
rhiaro
marvels at her incompetence
#
tantek
kevinmarks, the term "performer" or "performed by" seems quite dominant
#
tantek
in CDs, LPs etc.
#
rhiaro
Well that could've been worse
#
[kevinmarks]
call it an art project
#
tantek
kevinmarks, you mean like performance art? ;)

[kevinmarks]
With music data you tend to see a title/artist/album model applied in a Procrustean way
#
tantek
what is Procrustean?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Procrustean" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Ab
#
[kevinmarks]
Breaking out performer, composer, lyricist, remixer etc is rarer
#
tantek
(aside: whenever kevinmarks says procrustean I imagine someone who is vehemently for eating the crusts of toast and pizza slices)
#
davidmead
hmm. that’s odd tantek. i just posted that error on the Wordpress Plugin Forum. Didin’t expect to see it pop up here
#
tantek
forum -> twitter -> IRC :D
#
petermolnar
since when flickr photo search doesn't contain real links?! inline JS, 'onload' adding target url to the images, this is WRONG.
#
tantek
Resisting IRC discussion is futile, all discussions lead to IRC ;)
#
aaronpk
petermolnar: yeah :( I think with the last redesign
#
tantek
petermolnar: since last year's JS fashionism
#
tantek
also does anyone post MIDI?
#
aaronpk
I started to last year but never launched it
#
[kevinmarks]
“each service has their own database. if you can match 85% you're a magician”
#
tantek
e.g. with playback using http://www.w3.org/TR/webmidi/
#
[kevinmarks]
Karaoke tracks as midi used to be popular
#
tantek
I need to figure out what the latest interface is between 1980s MIDI and 2010s USB
#
tantek
connecting devices across three decades seems pretty fun
#
wolftune
totally missing the context, but… tantek: I posted old music of mine under CC-BY-SA recently and included MIDI files as some source material…
#
petermolnar
wolftune see 3 days ago
#
petermolnar
(the guardian link)
#
tantek
wolftune awesome!
#
[kevinmarks]
Quicktime supported midi playback since the 90s, for .kar files etc
#
wolftune
I'm still way way behind on where I want to be for Indie Web… I want to get fully independent, I'm not, but I posted here for now: https://archive.org/details/Conspiracies-Racketeering-Aaron-Wolf
#
petermolnar
tantek I've checked midi a few years ago, when I dived a little into dj controllers; both arduino and raspberry pi has impressive libraries to handle and interface midi
#
wolftune
there was chat in LinuxMusicians forum about GPL for music ideas and what it means to provide source for art and music… complex topic, interesting though
#
tantek
wofltune - you're posting directly to archive.org?
#
wolftune
tantek: that's right. I still need to figure out getting my own server and moving my site off of Blogger :(
#
tantek
wolftune: have you considered starting with a withknown.com site?
#
GWG
Seems there is a problem
#
tantek
(pretty easy to transition to your own Known install AFAIK)
#
wolftune
tantek: that's a new one to me…
#
tantek
and pretty sure (not certain) it can import from Blogger
#
davidmead
GWG I can send you screenshots and the text if you want.
#
wolftune
what are the ramifications / downsides vs the full goal of my own server running my own site (acknowledging that isn't happening easily right away) ?
#
tantek
wolftune: AFAIK, not many if any
#
GWG
davidmead: I'm looking into it now.
#
tantek
easier to get started on withknown.com
#
tantek
and I believe they commit to redirecting to your own domain once you have one
#
tantek
to preserve links
#
tantek
pretty amazing actually
#
wolftune
yeah, I really am concerned about link preservation / redirects
#
wolftune
the thing is, I'd like to eventually have a totally distinct site that does all the various things I want differently and better than my blogger thing… is withknown a positive step toward that?
#
davidmead
tantek are those commitments to build something, or just implement POSSE, PESOS, etc., on your own sites & silos?
#
wolftune
I have my own domain and lots of existing links that are out there in the world…
#
tantek
davidmead: they are different for every person
#
aaronpk
I might need to "extend" my deadline to the end of the weekend :)
#
tantek
aaronpk do it! edit the wiki accordingly to note that - helps give others implicit permission to also do so!
#
wolftune
"Registration for free Known sites has been paused while we prepare for the next iteration of the Known platform" is an interesting message… maybe I should wait for a coming-soon iteration regardless of free vs pro?
#
davidmead
OK. I just implemented an IFTTT recipe for posting Swarm checkins to WP via Foursquare, and Foodspotting & Untappd checkins to WP by using RSS & a WP plugin
#
tantek
hmm - that is odd, I'm not sure why they paused registration
#
tantek
davidmead amazing!!!
#
davidmead
I can add those there
#
tantek
what is Swarm?
#
Loqi
Swarm is an app by Foursquare focused on checkins and showing nearby friends https://indiewebcamp.com/Swarm
#
wolftune
tantek: they say the "free" is paused but they still accept Pro for now
#
tantek
can you add a PESOS section there that describes how to do what you di with Swarm checkins to WP via Foursquare?
#
tantek
similarly
#
tantek
what is Foodspotting
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Foodspotting" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10Ac
#
tantek
oh hey ^^^ davidmead perhaps start that page?
#
tantek
what is Untappd
#
Loqi
Untappd is a social silo for posting consumptions of beer (which they call "Check-ins" to beers) and optionally any or all of where (venue, thus making it an actual checkin), 1-5 star rating, photo, or review commentary https://indiewebcamp.com/Untappd
#
tantek
^^^ and add a PESOS section there too!
#
