#
@biancawelds So my #indieweb progress has been thwarted by a lack of internet. Clearly I need to do that for myself too. #ownyourdataconnection
andreypopp and donpdonp joined the channel
#
barnabywalters donpdonp: hm… wasn’t the indieweb butler thing activitystreams over websockets?
#
@donpdonp @GitStreams another todo: provide an activitystreams API over websockets so new entries are pushed to me. #indieweb http://pusher.com/tutorials/realtime_activity_streams
#
barnabywalters the only bit of the code I looked closely at was the browser extension, so it might not have been
#
barnabywalters on which note: is anyone actively using indieweb butler? looked like a really nice system
scor joined the channel
#
donpdonp here's a demo id like to share http://donpark.org/blog/2013/04/17/neuronirc-script-ecosystem

#
barnabywalters tantek: I’ve been thinking of adding a graph view to http://waterpigs.co.uk/notes?tagged=steps — does that count?
#
barnabywalters tantek: no, I have a primitive pedometer :)
#
barnabywalters one with an LCD display
#
barnabywalters tantek: yep
#
barnabywalters tantek: pretty much a picoformat, yes — there are also a couple of other rules
#
barnabywalters to deal with missing/excess counts
#
barnabywalters eventually I will mine the data and/or make pretty graphs, yes
#
barnabywalters and correlate with other data
#
barnabywalters well, compare
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: I’ve not tried it with this data yet — i’d be interested to hear your thoughts/problems you’ve had with similar data
#
barnabywalters donpdonp: I had a go, yep — looks cool!
#
barnabywalters is there a way to associate badges with domains rather than email addresses?
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: hm, yes, I suppose so
#
barnabywalters although if there’s a data point every day, it’d be fairly easy to compare — say, with temperature
#
barnabywalters perhaps I should start adding location data to the #steps notes so I can map out the average number of steps per day in different locations
#
barnabywalters at the moment that’s only back home vs. in iceland, but that alone might be an interesting comparison
#
barnabywalters or just figure out how my walking patterns change throughout a week/month/year
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: is that something you’re recording?
#
barnabywalters :(
#
barnabywalters in other news: firefox OS dev devices available in europe from next week!
#
barnabywalters wooo
eschnou joined the channel
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: what hardware are you using? arduino?
#
barnabywalters oh, when you said you were recording it I thought you meant you were, like “recording” it ;)
#
tantek ok Barnaby, feel free to add more details of your "steps" work here: http://indiewebcamp.com/note#Steps
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: with steps, I decided that one short note a day was tolerable on my website, but I don’t tend to POSSE them unless that day was a particularly interesting outlier
#
barnabywalters or the walking was primarily with some other people — the “Had a great day walking X #steps with Y and Z” kind of thing
#
barnabywalters I think evanpro posts his BMI or some similar number on identica
#
barnabywalters or, is he using pump now? either way, that is another example
#
barnabywalters tantek: just looking now
b0bg0d joined the channel
#
barnabywalters “evan prodromou bmi” is my contender for today’s weirdest search term competition
#
barnabywalters http://evan.status.net/tag/bmi — looks like he stopped 6 months ago, I’ll ask him why
#
barnabywalters maybe he came across a problem worth documenting
#
waterpigs.co.uk edited /note (+126) "/* Subtypes */ Restructured health tracking, added evanpro BMI example" (view diff)

#
barnabywalters aaronpk: as far as high friction personal data collection goes, my iOS data is right up there ;)
#
barnabywalters lots of copying+pasting+emailing :/
#
barnabywalters any thoughts on how google glass (or preferably an open source hardware clone) might reduce personal data collection friction?
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: it may have the potential to do a bunch of the things on your list
#
barnabywalters ambient sound recording is particularly interesting!
#
barnabywalters I’d love to try that
#
barnabywalters :|
#
barnabywalters problem with ambient audio is that’s a *lot* of data to store, even more to process
#
barnabywalters transcriptions would be really cool
#
barnabywalters one of my friends has a cousin who records a lot of his conversations — or used to. Often without telling the person being recorded, to mixed results
bwelds joined the channel
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: absolutely. have you read The Art Of Noise?
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: I’d probably go for once every 30 seconds OR if there’s an outlier
#
barnabywalters like the life recording cameras
#
barnabywalters RE art of noise: I just finished reading it — it’s like a 5 page PDF: http://www.artype.de/Sammlung/pdf/russolo_noise.pdf
#
barnabywalters from 1913, about futurist noise music
#
barnabywalters I was quite impressed with tropo’s automated, free audio transcription. Not sure how well it’d hold up to ambient conversations — it certainly wouldn’t differentiate between different speakers, or handle people talking over each other
