barnabywalters hey aaronpk, have you shared your #tag-retaining note shortening function anywhere? It'd be really useful, especially as an addition to #cassis

@BarnabyWalters Let's see how well auto @-naming works with syndication: @barnabywalters @indiewebcamp

tommorris potentially of interest to indieweb folk: https://blog.mozilla.org/webdev/2012/09/14/apps-the-web-is-the-platform/
# barnabywalters tommorris: I've been playing around with a simulated B2G (firefox os) phone recently
# barnabywalters it's good.
# barnabywalters what is an APK?
# barnabywalters ah, okay
# barnabywalters can android do the iOS save-to-home-screen thing for web apps?
# barnabywalters the thing I like about b2g web apps is (provided you have fallbacks for mozilla device APIs) they can be used on iOS as well
# tommorris http://imgur.com/dno3Q - got ferocity on my second home screen
dascher joined the channel
# barnabywalters so you have a samsung galaxy s2? that is the model I am considering getting hold of to instal b2g on
# barnabywalters s/instal/install

# @BarnabyWalters Okay, so I got a #statusnet install up and running. It's amazing software. #indieweb #fsw
# @BarnabyWalters Other @indiewebcamp people: let me know if you're having #statusnet interop problems, I'll try subscribing and show you the logs
# barnabywalters as the Loqi twitter pulls are saying, I set up a statusnet server so I can get at the logs and try to figure out what's going wrong for remote subscriptions
# barnabywalters let me know if you're having problems and I'll try subscribing, look in the logs/at your feed and see if I can diagnose the problem
# barnabywalters tommorris: in Profile, on the right, under following, there's a "remote" button
# barnabywalters once you get it working it's actually an awesome feed subscriber
# barnabywalters tommorris: well, to a certain degree. aaronpk and I have had a nightmarish time getting SN to reliably subscribe to our feeds
# barnabywalters but PuSH does work, and well
# barnabywalters aaronpk: your feed is currently not PuSH-subscribable as there are XML mismatched tags: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Faaronparecki.com%2Fnotes.atom
# barnabywalters tommorris: seriously? on identi.ca?
# barnabywalters have you reported it?
# barnabywalters probably a good idea :)
# barnabywalters works fine for me
# barnabywalters ah, that *could* be the problem
# barnabywalters sounds like FF beta breaks quite a lot
# barnabywalters s/lot/lot of js
# barnabywalters not tried identica in FF, I'll give it a go
# barnabywalters works for me in FF too
# barnabywalters I'll try subscribing to you on identica and my own instance
# barnabywalters okay, subscribed to you three times, so you should be able to see some data in the hub debug if you couldn't before
# barnabywalters okay, I'll keep an eye out for the PuSH pings
# barnabywalters now I've got it and auto twitter syndication working I'm going to do a screencast demonstrating it

# barnabywalters hey brennannovak, how's it going?
# brennannovak barnabywalters: hey there! Going pretty well
# barnabywalters cool
# barnabywalters just wondering if you could give any pointers about where to start solving the broken profile URL bug in SI
# brennannovak barnabywalters: ahh yes... we need to write a method that functions similar to profile_image in the Social_igniter.php library
# barnabywalters looks through source
# brennannovak similar in that the existing function handle profile image cases and the later should handle if the "people" app is installed
# barnabywalters so profile_image can be used to get the URL of a users image or set it to a new one
# brennannovak yes
# barnabywalters right, I'm going to add docblocks to these functions as I go along
# brennannovak Oh great!
# barnabywalters it'd be a silly task to try to do all at once, but doing them as I go along is a no-brainer
# barnabywalters and essential reference for myself :)
# brennannovak Nice
# brennannovak Also, I've been meaning to check your installer thing more thoroughly as some quirks have come up with other people (and myself) trying to use it
# barnabywalters okay, let me know what you find
# barnabywalters I've only tested it on my local/remote servers in safari
# brennannovak perhaps could you notate down all of your server settings and such? It's mainly been permissions issues with creating the config files
# barnabywalters ah, interesting
# brennannovak you tested it in MAMP right? My one friend was trying in his MAMP and couldn't get past the first step
# barnabywalters I'll give it another go to make sure it's working for me, and note down my setup
# barnabywalters yep
# barnabywalters can you get people who are having problems to create new github issues?
# barnabywalters it'd be v. useful
# brennannovak Absolutely!
# barnabywalters fab. I'm going through and doing another test install
# barnabywalters I need to get more familiar with unix permissions before I purposefully mess up my permissions to see if I can get some errors
# brennannovak heh
# barnabywalters hm, I'm getting exactly the same problems I *thought* I'd fixed with the update
# barnabywalters okay, I did a fresh pull from the git repo on my server and the error reporting is working fine
# barnabywalters but things still freeze on "Creating Database"
# barnabywalters well, I'll see what I can do about that tomorrow. Getting later here. Goodnight!
