#
barnabywalters based on this John Battelle article, which mentions POSSE vs PESOS: http://battellemedia.com/archives/2012/01/put-your-taproot-into-the-independent-web.php

tommorris Happy new year, tantek
#
tantek Happy new year tommorris. Really happy with what we were able to figure out and create/build in 2012. Excited to see what we can do in 2013.
#
tantek "we" as a community :)
#
tommorris Indeed.
#
tommorris I've got lots of personal-site-related todos that need doing as soon as I have a clear schedule
#
tommorris photo upload is one
#
tantek for one thing, congrats on relaunching and reinvigorating your personal site in 2012. kudos on what you've rapidly gotten done.
#
tommorris well, IWC in Brighton was responsible for that.
#
tommorris it's one of the few tech events I've gone to and rather than despairing at bullshit, I got on the train and my immediate thought was "let's build things!"
#
tantek YES!
#
tantek now that's a testimonial if I've ever heard one

tommorris QFT. ;-)
#
barnabywalters that is a good summary of IWCUK ;)
#
tommorris tantek: are you planning a re-run in the UK this year?
#
barnabywalters tommorris: http://indiewebcamp.com/2013/UK
#
tommorris aha
#
tommorris should probably be used to checking the wiki by now.
#
barnabywalters at the moment looks like tantek will be a bit lonely :)
#
tommorris thinks it might be an idea to templateize...
#
barnabywalters I will almost certainly be coming but it’s hard for me to solidly commit to anything right now

#
barnabywalters I will more than likely be in Iceland when the PDX one is on
#
barnabywalters and to you tantek!
#
tantek tommorris - always looking for co-organizers! (re: IndieWebCampUK 2013)
#
tommorris yep, thanks tantek for bringing this community together
#
tommorris really looks forward to MediaWiki templates being written in something other than MediaWiki template syntax.

#
tommorris ah, I bet it hasn't got extended parser functions turned on
#
tommorris tantek: mind if you delete those pages? they have 'if' statements, which requires you have ParserFunctions extension installed.
#
tommorris should really check wikis before storming in with Wikipedian assumptions.
josephboyle joined the channel
#
tantek or we could ask aaronpk to install ParserFunctions (if you think that's something we should do on the IndieWebCamp site)
#
tommorris yep
#
tommorris it should be part of the default install. ;-)
