Hi, my is Sandeep and I was a bootstrapaholic: http://www.sandeep.io

aaronpk, any idea how to debug a 401 error from Twitter's OAuth? Been having trouble upgrading to the 1.1 API :9
#
tantek
(since you're the one writing the book on OAuth ;) )
#
tantek
(in particular I've been trying to update the RelMeAuth prototype to use Twitter API v1.1)
#
tantek
nevermind about the rel-me part (that will take additional debugging) but just try to sign in with a Twitter profile URL, e.g. https://twitter.com/aaronpk
#
tantek
This is the open github issue on the update problem: https://github.com/themattharris/RelMeAuth/issues/2

tantek: wow was not expecting that response re: measures

#
barnabywalters
RE the whole measures thing: if you’re just going to canonicalise the value + space + unit anyway, why not just use data and have the @value be the canonical value? that’s pretty much how <time> works after all
#
barnabywalters
then it’s up to the application to decide what to do with the value
#
barnabywalters
as is the case with datetimes/times/dates/tzs
#
aaronpk
barnabywalters: that means adding a unit attribute to data?
#
barnabywalters
aaronpk: that’s one option, but IIRC tantek’s suggestion was to canonicalise the parsed measure + unit into a standard “value + space + unit” string. So why not start with that in the first place instead of new microformats, elements or attributes
#
barnabywalters
<data class="p-weight" value="12kg">twelve kilos</data>
#
barnabywalters
follows the standard <data value="machine readable">human readable</data>
#
barnabywalters
which is exactly how <time> works
#
barnabywalters
it would also make the probably-common usage of marking up values which are already machine readable, e.g: <data class="p-weight">12kg</data>
#
barnabywalters
*make that usage easier, rather

barnaby's suggestion is a good one, we can start with using <data> as he suggests, and see if there is any usability / data quality benefits to be gained from using a separate <measure> element or not.
#
aaronpk
makes sense
#
aaronpk
unit names never contain digits, so there should be no ambiguity in joining the number and unit into the same string
#
tantek
CSS has a lot of experience with parsing number+unit
#
tantek
and specifying as such
#
aaronpk
oh good point!
#
tantek
so I'd start with referencing the syntax that CSS uses
#
tantek
re-using the syntax/grammar for such units accordingly
#
aaronpk
guess I shouldn't have started my research by looking here http://microformats.org/wiki/measure ;)
#
tantek
yes, and that page needs *a lot* of updating - it's very out of date
#
aaronpk
I was so busy trying not to re-invent research done in microformats already that I didn't "think outside the box"
#
tantek
it's always good to try not to re-invent
#
tantek
and read up on previous research
#
tantek
it doesn't mean you can't improve upon it :)
#
tantek
simplify it
#
tantek
a lot of ideas / proposals are overly complex until someone comes up with a clever simplification
#
tantek
typically complex ideas precede simpler ideas
#
aaronpk
well my first pass was to convert the microformats-1 research into the microformats-2 way of doing things
#
aaronpk
i think I captured that pretty well regardless

aaronpk - you have some time this late afternoon / early evening? (in Portland)
#
tantek
I'm going to be in town and could desperately use some OAuth debugging help :/
#
tantek
happy to write-up anything/everything publicly and contribute it as raw troubleshooting material to your book etc.
#
tantek
(which I think is one of the hardest parts of OAuth - it's much harder to debug than username/pw APIs)
#
aaronpk
oh! cool.
#
aaronpk
yea that should work... amber and I are going to work on slides for a bit this evening, but would be great to meet up
#
tantek
great
#
tantek
here's the live thread of the issue I'm working through (in public of course) https://github.com/themattharris/RelMeAuth/issues/2

what's the algorithm of separating the real author from the other authors in the h-entry?
#
tantek
cweiske see: /authorship
#
cweiske
thanks
#
JonathanNeal
tantek: you're the only person I know who does that.
#
JonathanNeal
It's fun.

tantek
who does what?

aaronpk marks up his bookmarks as class="bookmark type-bookmark" and has two links in it
#
cweiske
one for the bookmark link and one for the permalink of his bookmark
#
cweiske
how would you suggest to mark up bookmarks? u-bookmark?
#
cweiske
the irc log of the bookmark discussion last time didn't contain that aspect
#
aaronpk
where'd you find that?
#
aaronpk
I haven't done any mf2 stuff with my bookmarks yet
#
cweiske
it ain't mf2, that's right

that's cause twitter is t.co'ing your website, look at the source on twitter.com/jon_neal

I don't suppose there's any way around that right now.
#
aaronpk
unfortunately no, the best alternative is to use Github right now

aaronpk: the other bug is that it does not support protocol-less urls.
