barnabywalters: monoculture is a great idea for a page
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: it’s something I remember discussing here before, but I wanted a page to link to when writing that note about Ghost promoting monoculture
#
barnabywalters
it just needs some tidying up

oh, tryghost.org

tommorris: btw, RE your writing about yourself blog post: wow

thanks.

I just know far too many interesting lovely people who should be writing about themselves - because they have interesting things to say - but don't because of fear.

so, do we want to have a page on the wiki listing services you can use to track where the stuff you write is being posted?
#
tommorris
because I just discovered http://www.reddit.com/search.xml?q=url%3Atommorris.org&sort=new&restrict_sr=off&t=all - RSS feed of tommorris.org stuff posted on Reddit
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: do we already have an aggregation page?
#
barnabywalters
if not we probably should
#
tommorris
you can substitute .json in place of .xml if you prefer. :)

tantek: popped it up there. feel free to shunt it around.

tantek
makes sense - I don't have any better ideas
#
tommorris
so, I was thinking today about how to post to Google Plus. The conclusion I'm coming to is hilarious: PhantomJS and GhostDriver
#
tommorris
Yeah. Google's commitment to openness is making it so I have to use a fake WebKit browser to artificially simulate user interaction to post to G+
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: lol, that’s amazing
#
tommorris
if you can post to G+ via an API, it's certainly something they are making cryptic
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: AFAIK the API is completely read only at the moment
#
barnabywalters
they have several different URL API-type UIs
#
barnabywalters
which might make manual POSSE bearable

#
tantek
barnabywalters, tommorris - I think Will Norris figured out a way to cross-post to G+ via a +1 button
#
barnabywalters
tantek: oh cool, is it documented anywhere?
#
tantek
I think he blogged about it?
#
tantek
not sure if it is worth it though?
#
tantek
I find fewer and fewer people paying any attention to G+
#
barnabywalters
tantek: quick search doesn’t find anything
#
tantek
the whole point of POSSE is to reach your friend where they read stuff, and if you don't have any friends paying attention to G+, then what's the point of crossposting there?
hober joined the channel
#
tommorris
I have a small number of friends who like G+. amazingly, not all of them are Google employees.
#
tantek
yeah I think that's it
#
tantek
ok I'm off IRC for a bit while I go jump on the train. back in a bit.
#
tantek
barnabywalters, take a look at Will's post & plugin and let us know what you think
tantek and caseorganic joined the channel
#
tantek
oh, one exception - G+ event posts seem to garner attention
#
tantek
so perhaps G+ might make a decent event POSSE destination
#
tantek
but I don't think the +1 button will syndicate an event from your site to G+
#
tantek
so we need an API or some hack to create a G+ event

Is rel=me broken on Twitter? It's giving me a t.co url and only putting my site url in title.

aaronpk - re: location information in your notes, how do you publish it? do you have example URLs?
#

and do you ever publish location information in your @-replies or reply posts in general? (again, URLs of examples?)
smcgregor joined the channel
#
tantek
aaronpk, oh dear: <abbr class="geo">San Francisco, CA, USA</abbr>
#
aaronpk
we had this discussion already :)
#
tantek
but that's not just not good - it's bad - it's not a "geo"
#
tantek
how about just <span class="p-location">San Francisco, CA, USA</span> for now?
#
tantek
because you don't have access to the individual components right?
#
tommorris
I have some geo posts.
#
aaronpk
i can do that
#
tantek
URLs?
#
tantek
aaronpk - cool, that way at least we won't be misleading anyone about "geo" markup
#
tommorris
tommorris.org/posts/8245
#
aaronpk
the idea was to put lat/lng in there, but I backed off on that plan until I think it through better
#
tantek
so when you do put lat/long, then we can discuss how to geo mark it up ;)
#
aaronpk
p-location or p-locality?
#
tantek
content first, markup second
#
tantek
p-location e.g. same as the property from h-event
#
tantek
p-locality is for the city
bnvk joined the channel
#
tantek
meaning the location where you posted it
#
aaronpk
oh yea ok
#
tantek
tommorris, do you have access to the individual location components in "Congress House, Great Russell Street, London" or do you get that from a service as an opaque string?
#
tantek
and while your (tommorris) use of "geo" will "work", it's unfortunately still a (known) abuse of the abbr title
#
tantek
(not really a listenable title value)
#
tantek
here's a mod with the data element instead
#
tantek
<data class="p-geo" value="51.51738;-0.12833"> … </data>
#
tantek
(assuming you're able to use fancy HTML5 elements since you're already using <article>)
#
tantek
aaronpk - let me know when to reload :)
#
tommorris
tantek: Nominatim, the service I use, returns an XML/JSON blob with address parts.
#
tommorris
tantek: I'll switch it over to data.
#
tantek
tommorris if you receive the address parts separately, the you can mark them up hopefully with adr properties
#
tantek
or h-card
#
tantek
tommorris e.g. <span class="h-card"><span class="p-name p-org">Congress House</span>, <span class="p-street-address">Great Russell Street</span>, <span class="p-locality">London</span></span>
#
tommorris
tantek: will do at some point. the data fix was <5m, so I've done it now. will deploy when I'm on a stable connection
#
tantek
tommorris - cool
#
barnabywalters
I too use nominatim and convert the nominatim values to structured h-adr. I’m not overly happy with the translation though
#
barnabywalters
part of moving to flat file storage will involve taking location info out of machine tags and structuring it better
#
tantek
barnabywalters - I don't see any location information on those posts
#
tantek
oh on the permalinks only
#
tantek
whoa - nice markup!
#
tantek
that's a neat pattern
#
tantek
we should capture that on the wiki
#
tantek
disembarking train - bbiab
#
tommorris
nominatim needs a lot of improvement. it's nice that it is open data: it means if it is broken you can fix it. but it's still a long way from perfect.
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: how does one contribute to it? by adding data to OSM or by working on the nominatim code?
tantek joined the channel
#
tommorris
barnabywalters: both. I mostly do it by finding things that are broken in OSM when I checkin.
#
tantek
Or I'll just lurk from my iPod for a bit.
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: I often add address info to POIs and areas, I’m assuming that has some effect…?
#
tommorris
I was in Retro Bar, a gay bar in The Strand. I checked in and Nominatim said I was in Chinatown. which meant that it was obviously going to it as the suburb marker. but The Strand isn't in Chinatown
#
tommorris
so, I go in and edit Chinatown from being a node (Nominatim was using it as the suburb because it was the nearest suburb marker) and restrict the area to just the area around Gerrard St
#
tommorris
it needs local knowledge.
#
barnabywalters
is that potentially of use for nearby venues to check in to?
#
barnabywalters
I’ve done a whole load of UI brainstorming on note posting UIs recently, focusing on location+checkin stuff
#
aaronpk
oh! would love to see it!
#
barnabywalters
it’s on github at the moment:
#
aaronpk
oh great!
#
aaronpk
will check it out
#
barnabywalters
specifically, the ones entitled note-post-x
#
barnabywalters
the format is A4 pages split into three columns — state, UI and annotations
#
barnabywalters
unfortunately the scanner chopped some of the edges off but I don’t think too much was lost

barnabywalters
there are some more in my notebook which I’ll draw up larger tonight, including venue page layout
#
shaners
barnabywalters: what is the "live" checkbox do?
#
barnabywalters
briansuda and I also did some brainstorming of route UI (e.g. “I just walked up this mountain, here’s the route w/ speed+elevation data”)
#
shaners
barnabywalters: what DOES the "live" checkbox do?
#
barnabywalters
shaners: where?
#
barnabywalters
ah! the checkbox is associated with the Location label, the live link goes to the note permalink

I have a screen printing business and like printing for conferences. Did you guys figure out shirts for indiewebcamp yet for the event in Oregon?
#
cyg^
if not, I'd love to discuss with someone

cyg^: hey! we haven't even had shirts in the past, but would be a fun idea!

I've done shirts for BarCamp Philly a lot

BarCamp used sponsors to pay for the shirts, then gave them away

tantek: just dumped some notes and screenshots here, would be interested to get your thoughts on it http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE_to_Facebook
#
aaronpk
the weird stripey lines are because I authorized the app to post "only visible to me"
#
tommorris
I need to sort out POSSE to Facebook. I was doing facebook app dev last week and am not wild about doing more for few days. ;)
#
tommorris
it's pretty easy. OG API is pretty straightforward
#
aaronpk
it's incredibly straightforward
#
barnabywalters
I just POSSE there manually using their post to feed URL api
#
barnabywalters
sure it’s easy, but SO SLOW
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: what is that? and can you add that as an option to the page I just made wtih screenshots?
#
Loqi
that is what my approach boils down to
#
aaronpk
Loqi: you don't posse to facebook at all, shut up
#
barnabywalters
Loqi: seriously.
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: I think I documented the endpoint on /webactions somewhere, I’ll add it to your new page

aaronpk, we were discussing the pattern of using an illustrative image with each blog post so it gets picked up in link-previews on link sharing sites/UIs like FB/Tw/G+ etc. Crystal's blog has some good examples: http://skinnywhitegirl.com/blog/
#
tantek
note how the summary image in the aggregate view is not necessarily the same as the image on the permalink

(or sometimes not even an image but a video - at the permalink)

aaronpk I don't get on IRC that much but my email is stuart@vacord.com and vacord.com is the screen printing site if you wanna talk more about shirts. I'll come back in next time I get on IRC tho
#

thanks y'all, have a nice evening
#
tantek
ooh shirts!
#
tantek
aaronpk, t-shirts? we could also do something like embroidered patches which people could choose to put on any particular item of clothing or bag or ...
#
tantek
(idea via skinny)
b0bg0d, tantek_, tilgovi, singpolyma, caseorga_, bnvk and tantek joined the channel
#
aaronpk
ooh embroidered patches would be cool
#
aaronpk
I think those are like $4 each
#
tantek
aaronpk - so $200 for 50
#
tantek
aaronpk - just checked out your updated location markup
#
tantek
looks like you're using class="geo p-location"
#
tantek
drop the "geo" until you're actually putting the lat/long in there (e.g. in a link to a map etc.)
#
tantek
just class="p-location" for now
#
aaronpk
the "geo" is what my CSS uses to style it
#
aaronpk
what's the mf2 markup for "geo"?
#
tantek
ah ouch - another instance of where using a microformat class for styling breaks things
#
aaronpk
exactly, i'm trying to move away from that
#
tantek
because it's an invalid geo (no lat long inside)
#
aaronpk
i'm making a point of not including any CSS rules on the new *-* markup
#
aaronpk
so I'll implement h-geo once I have a lat/lng
#
tantek
any chance of dropping or renaming the "geo" until then?
#
tantek
and yeah, I've been using other class names for CSS hooks
#
aaronpk
I can probably change it to something else like "location"
#
tantek
and in general trying to figure out some kind of modular templating setup for Falcon
#
tantek
otherwise with just a plain geo with no lat/long - it shows up as an error in Firefox with Operator
