# eschnou erinjo, thanks for your comment :-)
# erinjo eschnou Hi! I glad to hear you're working on Storytlr for indieweb people
# barnabywalters hey erinjo, great to see you on IRC :)
# erinjo :-)
# eschnou yeah, I should have done it long ago, not much was missing for storytlr to comply to indieweb standards :-)
# eschnou it's a nice community, I see a good momentum building up, I'll try to be more active and help push ideas forward.
# erinjo echnou No. I think I originally stumbled on it after my SweetCron installs had died and I was looking for other lifestream options
# eschnou cool, that's been a while then :-)
# erinjo eschnou Yeah...
# eschnou what are you using on your site now ? is it a wordpress plugin ?
# barnabywalters and welcome eschnou :) I’d not come across storytlr until a week or so ago, and I like what I see
# eschnou erinjo, and you have a storytlr in the pull section, awesome !! I'm finally catching up on issues, so now is a good time to add bugs in the tracker.
# erinjo eschnou erinjorichey.com is static with timeline code using ThinkUp info, erinjorichey.com/thumos is Kirby CMS, erinjorichey.com/push and erinjorichey.com/pull are Storytlr, flatfrogblog.com is WP and I'm debating some updates to it
# eschnou barnabywalters, nice meeting you as well, I find the luthier/web mix awesome :-)
# barnabywalters eschnou: :) It always surprises me how many thought patterns are transferrable between the two disciplines!
# erinjo eschnou I would love if the post to Twitter worked. That's my biggest request. I know the authentication has probably changed since it was originally done, I just never had the time to poke around and see if I could update it
# eschnou erinjo, post to twitter is fixed
# eschnou all fixes are on the dev branch, I'll repackage a stable release in the coming days
# erinjo eschnou Awesome. If I have time this weekend I want to spend some time with my installs, maybe making updates
# eschnou now also have PuSH with Atom feeds and activity streams
# barnabywalters pokes around in the Develop branch
# eschnou and wrapping up work on an api so I can post directly to storytlr from other clients
# erinjo eschnou Cool. I'll take a look at it
# barnabywalters erinjo: wow, I never realised just how many different pieces of software your websites used!
# erinjo eschnou That would be great. I have trouble myself using it as my intended push/Twitter replacement because I send so much from mobile
# erinjo barnabywalters Yeah, it's a bit of a mess actually. There are also more… I was deleting some of the more broken bits last night
# eschnou erinjo, that's also why I like to mix POSSE and PESOS (using indieweb terminoligies :-) Sometimes you just want to use a cool client (instagram...) but still like to syndicate back on your site.
# erinjo eschnou Yeah. My terminology is PuPuPu :-)
# eschnou hehe
# barnabywalters I have quite a few different things on my server, but the only public ones are my software and OpenPhoto. The rest is personal stuff like CalDAV/CardDAV
# barnabywalters erinjo: Hah, PuPuPu needs a wiki page!
# erinjo barnabywalters Yes! I think some Finnish people on Twitter were kind enough to suggest a bunny rabbit as a mascot also
# barnabywalters so PuPuPu means something in finnish?! I love it when stuff like that happens
# erinjo barnabywalters How have you been liking OpenPhoto? I have one of the hosted accounts that I've haven't done much with because I couldn't get the self-hosted one going, but I've been meaning to go back to it
# barnabywalters I like openphoto, mainly because of the mobile app and the API
# barnabywalters the default theme is not very nice, but it’s a solid, actively developed piece of software
# barnabywalters meaning I can focus on developing more connectedness with other sites instead of making boilerplate apps and photo content types myself :)
# erinjo barnabywalters https://twitter.com/erinjo/status/215901685678227456
# barnabywalters oh that’s awesome :D
# barnabywalters starts PuPuPu wiki page
# erinjo lol
# barnabywalters erinjo, do you have a link to your original pupupu tweet/post? where you first publicaly announced it?
# erinjo barnabywalters OwnCloud and OpenPhoto are on my to-do list, just a bit further down right now
# barnabywalters brilliant
# eschnou And now I can rebrand Storytlr as a PuPuPu platform :-)
# erinjo eschnou Excellent! :-D
# barnabywalters eschnou: feel free to add it to the list of implementations, and http://indiewebcamp.com/projects
# barnabywalters oops, hadn’t realised it was already on projects!
# eschnou :-) I've added a week ago, in the experimental
# barnabywalters wow there’s a lot of stuff on there. I haven’t added much of my stuff :/
# barnabywalters eschnou: I see you mention using salmon in storytlr. Is this something you’ve started experimenting with yet?
# eschnou barnabywalters, not within Storytlr yet, but I did a full salmon implementation in my node-ostatus project a while back.
# eschnou barnabywalters, and salmon interoperability is a real pain, so that's why I'm relunctant to spend to much time on this in storytlr.
# barnabywalters oh cool, node-ostatus looks impressive! I tried to start using it in my software a while ago and found the same thing — salmon (and by extension webfinger) is a bloody nightmare
# barnabywalters our current efforts to get inter-site commenting/etc. going are using Pingback and webmention (a pure-HTTP version of pingback authored by sandeepshetty)
# erinjo Hmm, I might have to add some platforms to the projects page...
# eschnou barnabywalters, yup, crypto interop is always tough, you need to get some many little details right... I even experienced doign salmon in bash :-)
# barnabywalters eschnou: wow, you’re hardcore :D

# eschnou is it webmention.org ? I never came accross that one, will definitively have a look !
# eschnou barnabywalters, you are in UK right ?
# barnabywalters eschnou: that’s the one. It’s essentially pingback but without the XMLRPC crap
# barnabywalters yep, I am
# eschnou any plan to visit Belgium and attend FOSDEM ? (fosdem.org)
# eschnou ping me if around !
# barnabywalters not as yet, but I’ll be sure to ping you if I’m ever headed that way
spinnerin_ joined the channel
# barnabywalters wow fosdem looks great
# eschnou we'll most likely do some informal #fsw meetup, evan from status.net will be there and a few others
# eschnou yes, fosdem is an awesome event
# eschnou and it's free
# barnabywalters looks up flight prices
# eschnou I even know people flying from Portland, OR just for fosdem ! insane :-)
# barnabywalters wow!
# barnabywalters my schedule at the mo is dominated by urgent gurdy making, but as it’s only two days, I may be able to go
# erinjo eschnou Who's heading over from Portland?
# eschnou erinjo, part of the &yet team. You know them ?
# erinjo eschnou Hmm, I don't think so. I'll have to look
# eschnou andyet.com, really nice team, they are doing a lot of stuff with XMPP and the winter XMPP summit is always next to fosdem. The summer one is around OSCON.
# erinjo eschnou Oh cool
# eschnou erinjo, your instagram in storytlr, is it just rss or something else ? any plugins or other code changes worth sharing ?
# erinjo eschnou I believe it's an rss I grabbed from something like web.stagram.com. No special code or plugins yet. I tried to go through my list of most used services and grab rss where ever possible
# erinjo eschnou I noticed yesterday that one of my feeds is generating a lot of 404s, so I'll have to look into that more this weekend
# eschnou let me know if you upgrade/merge the latest code and run into issues. and make sure to make a backup before you try, this hasn't been tested much yet :-)
# barnabywalters eschnou: does storytlr have an automated test suite?
# barnabywalters evening tantek
# eschnou barnabywalters, *blush* nope... it was back in the days... you know... 5 years ago.. when I started this.. I was young :-)
# eschnou hi tantek !
# barnabywalters eschnou: hey, no problem :) I only learnt automated tests *existed* last year
# eschnou tantek, I finally joined #indiewebcamp following your latest post on the #fsw mailing list :-)
# erinjo eschnou I'll probably play around with a fresh install before trying to merge anything. I tend to mess with parent themes instead of child themes and do things that break when i upgrade
# eschnou tantek, as I mentionned, I would like to make storytlr a good #indieweb citizen, so feel free to shout if you think I'm missing things
# eschnou I would love to join in Portland, but it's a looong way, will try the remote participation.
# eschnou UK is definitively feasible and already slotted in my agenda, will depends on my workload at that time.
# barnabywalters tommorris: Planet referring to the OSM Planet, or something else?
# barnabywalters ah, found it
# tantek eschnou, sign up for 2013 UK! http://indiewebcamp.com/2013/UK/Guest_List#RSVP
# erinjo tommorris PlanetIndieWeb - I just pictured Atlas shouldering the world
# tantek here's another such "planet" http://planet.mozilla.org/
# tommorris also, IWC UK 2012 was something I included in my 2012 year-in-review post. http://tommorris.org/posts/8022 ;-)
# eschnou thank you all for the great discussion, I'll try to join more often, cheers
# tantek aaronpk - what do you think, easy enough to watch http://indiewebcamp.com/planet#Planet_Sites for changes, do discovery on the URLs in that list and have the Planet aggregator update automatically?
# barnabywalters tommorris++
# barnabywalters tommorris tantek: we can always provide filtered feed URIs, e.g. http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes?tagged=indieweb
# barnabywalters lovebombing? I am learning lots of new words this evening
# barnabywalters as the distinction between a note and an article is quite a personal thing anyway, I’d start off by leaving it up to the author
# erinjo I agree that a feed of filtered posts or self-selected posts is better for Planet
# barnabywalters not that it’s something which would be easy to enforce
# barnabywalters tommorris: or just removes it from the wiki!
# barnabywalters tantek: indeed, but apart from that, in terms of length, whether or not it’s a reply, whether or not it’s time context sensitive, it varies hugely
# barnabywalters tantek: what aaronpk said
# barnabywalters hm, new article coming on: "What makes this article an article?"
# barnabywalters aaronpk: and was some useful conclusion reached?
# barnabywalters tantek: sheesh, don’t even start ;) I think that was one of the first indieweb-related articles I ever wrote
# barnabywalters (note that a lot of my opinions have since changed without me updating that article yet)
# tommorris.org created /Semantics_Of_Article-Note_Distinction (+746) "let's give this a go." (view diff)
# barnabywalters tantek: you mean it’s working? I thought I broke it a while ago
# barnabywalters tries on FF

# barnabywalters I am doing some things with my articles module now to associate each <ins> and <del> with an update # fragment automatically
# barnabywalters tantek: is this in the status/note/update article? as I said, it is not in sync with my current opinion
# barnabywalters recently I have started using "am I likely to update this in the future" as a differentiator to, hence the SVG github-esque update histories on the articles page
# barnabywalters but practically speaking, "does it have a title" is the most efficient distinction
# barnabywalters tantek: IIRC I tried that and it wasn’t possible
brennannovak joined the channel
# barnabywalters argh, why is there no easy way to debug/modify :hover styles in devtools
# barnabywalters oh, FF provides one
# tommorris well, one of the things that's quite attractive about posting your "tweets" on your own site is that you can edit them afterwards. Twitter not letting you edit statuses is... well, I spoke to one of Twitter's engineers and I understand why they did it for technical reasons and so on, but it's still annoying.
# barnabywalters tantek: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/Tutorials/Using_CSS_transitions#Which_CSS_properties_are_animatable.3F says gecko refuses to animate to/from auto, webkit does it badly
# barnabywalters no idea, at the moment webkit is refusing to even do the rollover which is weird
# tantek !tell eschnou on http://storytlr.org/about.html it links to http://wiki.github.com/storytlr/core/asking-for-help "lively community" which redirects and then 404s.
# tommorris whoever said that sarcasm doesn't work online? http://tommorris.org/posts/8027 [re the Twitter/Library of Congress thing]
# barnabywalters ha ha ha
# barnabywalters tommorris++
# tantek tommorris - sorry to be all serious and stuff, but (from the URL you linked to): "the collection will eventually be made available only within the Library itself so that its archive doesn’t compete with commercial services that offer Twitter archives — that’s part of the agreement with Twitter."
