andreypopp joined the channel
# 01:34 KartikPrabhu tantek: do you markup sections with references, notes about article with a footer tag or aside tag?
# 01:42 dietrich_ aaronpk: do i need to call to get in the building later? can bring bike up or lock up outside?
skinny joined the channel
# 01:51 bret dietrich_ there is parking outside and racks inside
squeakytoy2 and aaronpk|m joined the channel
# 01:56 aaronpk|m dietrich_: we have room for bikes upstairs.
# 01:57 aaronpk|m Also will need to call if you get here after 6:30, but Bret offered to let people in before then
# 02:06 skinny tantek: was looking for more specific error messages will less us of pronouns. If i knew what the root problem was, I could write up the error text for each.
# 02:07 tantek skinny - see IRC from earlier (that I referenced) - did exactly that - replaced pronouns with actuals.
# 02:07 tantek and aaronpk said he thought it was a good idea too
# 02:09 skinny tantek: yes, was much improved
# 02:09 skinny i was offering to write the error text for all the cases.
# 02:11 tantek skinny - you'll have to ping aaronpk about that

# 03:07 caseorganic Would be nice if we had a stable phone connection and then the video
# 03:07 bret should maybe break off into our own conversation?
# 03:08 npdoty +1 caseorganic, for future I think clear phone audio is probably more important than video

# 03:12 tantek potential to augment human relationships in a positive ay
# 03:12 aaronpk not something he will share in its entirety, but more interested in sharing the components as modules
# 03:12 tantek we were also talking about this needs to be calendar based
# 03:14 npdoty are more people using the word "augment" since the recent Doug Engelbart news?
# 03:14 npdoty light minuting on comparison between NSA social graphs vs. calendar/address-books for personal use
# 03:15 tantek most recently contacted, most frequently contacted
# 03:15 aaronpk bret: files on disk makes sense. but is less solid on how best to render the different views of the post based on the canonical file
# 03:16 bret aaronpk: talking about p3k's db-less model
# 03:18 bret it took a week to set up irssi + screen, so make sure to set up a git repo on your config
# 03:18 tantek quick survey: how many people wrote most of the code that runs on their site? vs. most of the code on their site was written by someone else?
# 03:18 bret tantek: yes! most people here wrote their own code for their site here, but of varying complexity
# 03:20 skinny tantek: i cloned a jekyll repo whose theme was pretty close.
# 03:21 bret aaronpk: showing his yaml + plaintext/markdown post sorage format

benwerd joined the channel
# 03:50 benwerd Note to self for later: lots of talk about public/private keys. I think there's value in having a token per relationship rather than a simple key release system, so that I know, eg, "tantek accessed this", and I can decide what he gets to see & change it later without worrying about revoking keys. i.e., a CMS problem.

# 05:32 aaronpk and why do you have to upload your site there to submit it
# 05:33 julian` i might make a comment and link my site but i doubt he will take it into consideration that it was in the spec to use hotglue

snarfed joined the channel
# 05:49 julian` aaronpk i think you need to be invited to post? i'm not sure though...
# 05:50 shaners julian`: that was true originally. but i thought they opened to the public a few months back.
# 05:50 julian` + isnt writing about indiewebdev counter-productive since its all about owning your own content and then you're giving your content to a social medium?
# 05:50 shaners aaronpk: i wrote up a manifestoy/vision kinda list a while back about Homesteading.
# 05:52 shaners yep. i'm on team PULL aka poll aka opposite of push for web architecture
# 05:52 shaners Push™ is shiny. So everyone wants to (over)use it
# 05:53 shaners there are some small places where it makes sense. i'm not a total zealot. ;)
# 05:53 aaronpk actually I guess it's more like a "ping" since you're not really sending any content
# 05:54 shaners we use webhooks at work with no payload as a kind of ping for downstream to "pull if you're otherwise not busy right now. else, pull on your regular schedule."
# 05:54 shaners have i ever shown/told you about our architecture at work?
# 05:56 shaners but back to "PULL is the verb". that's the idea. no payload. pings only.

# 05:58 shaners it's good enough for the web. it's good enough for you! :P
# 05:58 aaronpk well I think we can do better than polling (and we already are)
# 05:58 aaronpk but i'll agree that pushing content around is not a good design
# 05:58 shaners and again, i'm not a total zealot. for _some_ realtime stuff, push or synchronous makes more sense.
# 05:59 shaners not pushing content is the intent of that item (maxim?)
# 05:59 aaronpk where pushing content around means sending actual note/article/reply/whatever data in POST payloads
# 06:00 shaners aaronpk: any other things on the list that makes you raise an eyebrow?
# 06:02 shaners that's my guiding force. especially when recruiting people to help with HS.

# 06:16 aaronpk shaners: i'm getting rid of the stupid apple shine effect and making my icon jpg instead of png
# 06:18 shaners all good stuff. i was surprised how few people had already added an icon.
# 06:18 aaronpk shaners: if only you published your travel plans on your site, I would have known that already!
# 06:18 shaners i've been doing it on other sites for prolly as long as @adactio
# 06:20 shaners my weekend schedule is in flux. but totes wanna hang out.
# 06:22 aaronpk cool, well I'm pretty flexible this weekend so let me know
# 06:22 julian` no point going to sleep now to wake up in 30 mins
# 06:23 shaners 1. my iPhone 5 (iOS 7) doesn't respect my png alpha mask.
# 06:23 shaners i.e., my avatar is a circle. but iOS fills in the corners with black
# 06:23 Loqi aaronpk meant to say: I don't think any iOS icons support alpha channel
# 06:24 aaronpk you're forced to fit into the standard iOS icon format with rounded corners
# 06:25 shaners omigosh. you're right. just re-looked through all my home screens. all rounded squares. Human memory is a weird thing.
# 06:27 Loqi shaners meant to say: i type something wrong like THIS
# 06:29 Loqi julian` meant to say: Oh I dont get it now
# 06:29 aaronpk as in, the main point is "people first", not "faces first"
# 06:29 shaners i've had this avatar and the original version since 2008. people know me by that more than my face (which wasn't bearded back then and had different glasses).
# 06:29 aaronpk and tantek even says "...adding icons of each other..." not "faces" or "pictures"
# 06:30 shaners oh. he did? i thought all the logs he was saying photo photo photo
# 06:30 aaronpk the assumption he makes is that people will use their face for their icon
cweiske joined the channel
# 06:32 aaronpk well i'm not convinced faces is always the way to go
# 06:33 aaronpk actually up until facebook/twitter, I always used an icon for myself online, rarely ever put a photo of myself anywhere
# 06:34 shaners i only added my face to my site footer for google authorship siht
# 06:35 cweiske I decided to stay out of this, because it's google-only
# 06:36 shaners twitter is twitter only. Facebook is Facebook only. etc.
# 06:37 cweiske but google is mixing up their search engine with their network
# 06:39 Loqi Ok, I'll tell him that when I see him next
# 06:40 aaronpk so this brings up another issue with the icon discussion
# 06:40 aaronpk tantek, caseorganic and I all have favicon.ico files which are some icon representing us that is not our face
# 06:41 aaronpk should the 16px favicon.ico necessarily be the same as the larger icon on phone home screens?
# 06:41 aaronpk it tends to be the case that a 16px version of anything doesn't look good by default, you usually have to explicitly design an image to work at 16px
# 06:42 aaronpk I'd like to keep my "pk" 16px icon because I think it's more recognizable at that size than the photo of my face
# 06:43 aaronpk unless there's some way to make a photo of myself that scales well down to 16px
# 06:43 aaronpk yeah probably not, unless you have like giant eyebrows or something
# 06:43 shaners even my flat colors avatar doesn't look great at 16px
# 06:44 shaners it tolerable. but whatever. it does the job for bookmarks and tabs.
# 06:47 shaners but i guess i need to switch to my square avatar for icon
# 06:50 aaronpk KartikPrabhu: wait why are there two of everyone there
# 06:52 KartikPrabhu I wanted to use my logo for small sizes too. but that sort of seems wring
LauraJ joined the channel
# 07:07 aaronpk I don't think we've encountered a case where that's needed yet. what are you trying to do?
fritzy joined the channel
# 07:09 KartikPrabhu I am just trying to parse webmentions correctly and I hit upon this thought. Currently it only matches exact url and won't match a link to a particular section for example
# 07:09 aaronpk afaik nobody sends webmentions with fragments in the URL. perhaps we should explicitly disallow that in the webmention spec
# 07:10 KartikPrabhu i was also autosending webmentions where I was wondering if I should drop fragements before sending
# 07:10 cweiske whenever I link to some page with a fragment, my linkback server sends a ping to that url
# 07:11 shaners aaronpk: that'd have the bonus knock on effect of discouraging /#! URLs from javascript driven "apps"/sites
# 07:11 aaronpk cweiske: ok yea that makes sense. but I think KartikPrabhu is talking about source
# 07:12 cweiske although, if you don't have one page per resource but multiple
# 07:13 KartikPrabhu I am sort of asking both. So if source links to target.com#fragment then should it send the fragment in the target parameter of the url?

# 07:14 aaronpk the webmention is ust a notification that x links to y.
# 07:14 Loqi aaronpk meant to say: the webmention is just a notification that x links to y.
# 07:17 KartikPrabhu also does anyone use webmention to interlink their own posts? like "this topic was already discussed ina aprevious post"-type thing?
# 07:18 aaronpk KartikPrabhu: yes I do that (it happens automatically)
# 07:18 aaronpk shaners: i'm adding a bunch of people to one page on my phone
# 07:19 KartikPrabhu aaronpk: yes I was asking for auto-sending too. thanks. back to writing python
# 07:19 aaronpk i realized I only actualy know what's in the first two pages of icons. the rest is a mess and I just launch those apps by searching for them, not tapping.
fritzy joined the channel
# 07:20 aaronpk and the rest of the apps are getting shoved into folders called "random" and "random 2"
# 07:20 shaners so much so that i reorganized my apps so they're all in folders on screen two, except my home screen 16 apps
# 07:21 aaronpk which, coincidentally, is how I start labeling boxes when I move houses
# 07:22 shaners this whole people centered ui is right in line with one of my (i'll never have time to build until i have an army of minions/partners) apps called Dark Matter
# 07:22 shaners the elevator pitch is that email/txt/im are the real social network
# 07:37 aaronpk maybe firefox is smart enough to prioritize the jpg over the ico?
# 07:38 KartikPrabhu yeah :( I thought that was your intention too! would have been great if it worked. Maybe put jpg first? but then browsers will take jpg too
# 07:38 aaronpk hm, btu I want browsers to use the ico for bookmarks and title bar, etc

# 20:08 hadleybeeman Said they didn't want the "spammy feel" of Twitter, with so many input sources.
# 20:09 KartikPrabhu hadleybeeman: spam happens on G+ anyway. just look at 'what's hot' section
# 20:09 hadleybeeman (Personally, I thought that severely cut down on the innovation possibilities… but spam is indeed a price to pay there.)
# 20:09 aaronpk hadleybeeman: is that conversation documented anywhere? that's the first time I've heard that as the reason, which is fascinating
# 20:09 hadleybeeman I guess that's fair, KartikPrabhu. It goes to show that I don't pay attention to the "What's hot" section. :)
# 20:10 hadleybeeman I don't think so, aaronpk. It was just a face-to-face chat.
# 20:19 hadleybeeman Also, aaronpk & KartikPrabhu: worth noting that that was over a year ago. I don't know what they're up to now.
# 20:20 KartikPrabhu hadleybeeman: yes. I haven't been able to find anything that says that they intend to have a POST api
# 20:22 hadleybeeman That makes sense.
# 20:24 snarfed they don't really talk about it too much publicly, but yeah, the examples of app spam on fb walls (primarily) and twitter were big influences
# 20:25 hadleybeeman Ah, thanks snarfed. I didn't realise you were at Google.
# 20:25 KartikPrabhu but they can have people post to their own stream from outside though (?)
# 20:26 snarfed KartikPrabhu: what do you mean by "from outside" ?
# 20:26 KartikPrabhu snarfed: I mean. I should to be able to post to my own stream through an API from an app/my own site
# 20:27 snarfed ah. sure, you can definitely argue they "should," but they made the choice not to allow it through the API, only manually
# 20:30 snarfed fwiw, i posse some things to g+ manually. copy and paste is pretty easy :P
# 20:31 KartikPrabhu so far that is what i do too. But would have been nice to to do it from my site admin.

# 21:35 tantek aaronpk thanks! that was the image I used in my blog post :)
# 21:36 tantek note how much nicer the *-precomposed icons look (without the white curvy overlay)
# 21:36 aaronpk already updated mine! if you tap my icon and caseorganic's then your home screen should refresh with the new icon
# 21:37 tantek we should get more people to ad personal site face icons
# 21:38 tantek I'm already signed up to help two people from last night's meeting
# 21:38 tantek everyone got pretty excited about the possibilities
# 21:38 tantek benwerd even added some generic contact icons at the top of his home page to test things
# 21:38 tantek and I was able to tap his icon on my homescreen and start a facetime
# 21:38 barnabywalters brian made an icelandic public holiday calendar website, which updates to show the date of the next holiday
# 21:38 aaronpk oh nice! they only appear when the browser is narrow
# 21:39 aaronpk ok yeah totally changing my home page around this weekend
# 21:39 tantek barnabywalters - that is a fascinating observation: "...web apps a huge advantage over native apps, the ability to update their icons"
# 21:39 barnabywalters they can only do it when visited, which I suppose is vaguely analogous to updating a native app
# 21:40 tantek except that it occurs in the natural flow of using the app!
# 21:40 tantek you don't have to go a separate "App Store" app to futz with it
# 21:40 tantek I can imagine some "abuse" of that (animations?)
# 21:40 aaronpk I used to update my twitter icon with seasonal decorations, like different border colors and such depending on season/weather
# 21:41 aaronpk would be fun to do that again with home screen icon
# 21:41 tantek barnabywalters - how do you remember animating <title> elemens?!?
# 21:41 Loqi tantek meant to say: barnabywalters - how do you remember animating <title> elements?!?

# 21:42 barnabywalters also bear in mind that my friends and I had our own private 90s web reenactment in secondary school
# 21:42 tantek in other news, cropping and uploading screenshots from my iPod directly to the wiki was surprisingly quick & easy
# 21:43 tantek "private 90s web reenactment in secondary school" sounds amazing
# 21:43 tantek that's like Adactio's command line mode browser re-enaction at CERN

# 21:43 barnabywalters indeed. (un?)fortunately our… output… was all hosted on transient silo-hosts and is now no longer around
# 21:46 barnabywalters when I’ve deployed then new taproot live I’ll see if anything from then was archived anywhere
# 21:58 tantek while creating a mobile icon based comm bar for the top of my site (on mobile) I'm figuring out that I can put almost all my "Elsewhere" links into related "folders"
# 21:59 tantek yes - the things that appear when you drag one icon onto another on the iOS homescreen
# 21:59 tantek which show little mini versions of the icons inside, and then expand when tapped
alaricmoore joined the channel
# 22:00 aaronpk oh sorry what? not sure how the iOS folders relate to your "elsewhere" links
# 22:04 tantek aaronpk - it'll make more sense with a screen shot

# 22:08 tantek oh man the g+ iOS web shortcut icon is super grainy crappy

# 22:20 Jeena Why would you want to use g+ anyway? Facebook all the things (instad)!
ryana and _6a68 joined the channel
# 22:32 aaronpk barnabywalters: YEAH! your icon oh my home screen is now your face!
# 22:33 barnabywalters all in all, a fairly seamless deployment — POSSE to twitter is broken but apart from that all seems to be well

# 22:34 barnabywalters it turns out apple’s inability to correctly parse space-separated rel values applies to ATOM feeds as well
# 22:35 barnabywalters at least in old safari, only rel="alternate" is supported, not rel="alternate updates"
# 22:36 tantek whatever, apple is dropping feed support from safari anyway

# 22:41 tantek barnabywalters - you got POSSEing of your icon from your site to your Twitter avatar working?
lukebrooker joined the channel
# 22:42 barnabywalters tantek: what? no, I’ve never implemented that. was referring to deployment of the new taproot, not just the icon :)
# 22:49 acegiak tantek, your post about phone contacting people etc has me all energized again
# 22:50 tantek barnabywalters oh sorry - I thought you had combined the two concepts
# 22:50 tantek e.g. have an upload new icon function on your personal site (say you just took a good #selfie ;)
# 22:50 barnabywalters tantek: interesting idea, probably not worth the effort unless I changed my profile photo frequently
# 22:50 tantek and then your personal site updates your icon and all that - which iOS viewers will automatically get next time they tap your home screen shortcut
# 22:51 tantek and also pushes out a new avatar icon (POSSEs out) to Twitter, FB, etc.
# 22:51 tantek one fewer reason to visit those silos to update them (even just your avatar icon in your profile)
# 22:51 barnabywalters although back when I was brainstorming ideas about social networking tools for power users one of the things I considered was one-stop profile photo changes
# 22:52 tantek barnabywalters - you could show it off changing seasonally currently as aaronpk suggested
# 22:52 tantek so there you go - this is a perfect excuse to do one-stop profile photo changes
# 22:52 tantek looking forward to see what you do with your site
# 22:54 acegiak im not a privacy kind of person so initially i'm adding tel: etc to my page and.wprking out a mobile firendly layout
# 22:55 acegiak and then once we've worked out good ways to manage trust networks then i'll restrict those things to trusted folks
# 22:57 tantek acegiak - even with a tel: link, adactio gets very few phone calls
# 23:00 acegiak for a while i took a bit of joy in using spammers/cold callers as targets for releasing pent up tension, but i've decided to stop doing that because i know i could handle that when i was a door knocker but i don't want to push someone having a worse time than me over the esge into a breakdown
# 23:01 tantek acegiak - yeah, empathy for the individual being underpaid to actually do the call.
# 23:01 acegiak i know there's markup for linking to an irc channel somewhere, is there something similar for linking to an irc user on a channel/network
# 23:02 acegiak tantek: plus i read a couple of studies that said redirecting anger to things like pillows or spammers just made you less good at managing it
# 23:03 acegiak kind of like you have an anger management muscle that gets stronger/weaker the more/less you use it
tpinto joined the channel
# 23:06 acegiak i'd only seen irc links in passing and always for channels
# 23:08 acegiak are nested properties legal in h-card? like having two spans for first and last name inside a third fullname span?
# 23:09 barnabywalters acegiak: that doesn’t actually result in nested properties, and is perfectly legal
# 23:09 aaronpk I believe so? Could always try it and see what parsers think
# 23:09 barnabywalters elements can be nested however you want, properties will all come out on the same level
# 23:11 aaronpk but what if I visit from an android phone? wouldn't that be a little weird?
# 23:12 tantek (insert per-mobile-platform work to make it prettier elsewhere)
# 23:12 tantek I want to see how far we can push this "my mobile home page as me" interface
# 23:13 acegiak do we have a solution for sms and tel being the same number? or are we just having two hyperlinks?
# 23:14 tantek acegiak - people typically click separate apps/buttons for those
# 23:15 acegiak i have a telephone link on my page, that has my phone number, having a separate link with the same number for sms seems to violate dry?
# 23:15 tantek so you could either use two links for two buttons
# 23:16 tantek or you could auto-create the links/buttons using JS that reads your hCard

# 23:25 aaronpk yeah definitely need to get indiecheckins working
# 23:25 aaronpk at the very least I think I'll start by PESOS'ing my checkins from foursquare (and also my instagram photos)
# 23:26 aaronpk there's enough stuff to sort out without worrying about a posting interface yet
# 23:26 barnabywalters import is a good place to start as it allows you to concentrate on getting the UI working without having to build syndication or posting UIs
# 23:26 barnabywalters that was the case with comments on taproot — I imported old notes with comments from diaspora before displaying indie comments
# 23:30 tantek PESOS is a trap - because it make you too complacent to ever actually build owning your data and POSSE.
# 23:30 aaronpk OTOH it's been over a year since I've been *wanting* to have my checkins and photos on my site
# 23:31 tantek so I disagree with PESOS for Foursquare. back up your data sure. but presenting it on your own site should be done by posting it on your site.
# 23:31 aaronpk and either way I'd still need to figure out how to display it
# 23:31 tantek aaronpk - so if you want to make it *even longer* until you have checking in and posting photos on your site, then the PESOS route will delay that for you
# 23:31 tantek if all you want to do is figure out how to display it - just create a sample post by hand in markdown
# 23:32 tantek and eventually if that post type is something you do often, you can build a simple posting UI
# 23:32 tantek since tommorris and benwerd have both built checkin posting UIs I don't think it can be that bad
# 23:32 tantek especially maybe you can borrow some idno php to do it
# 23:33 tantek barnabywalters - I totally don't understand your home page brainstorm. but that's ok. I can tell there is awesomeness going on. :)
# 23:33 tantek aaronpk - latest checkie crashes on launch on my ipod
# 23:33 aaronpk well I'll be digging into the source of Checkie to make it work for me, can see what the crash is then maybe
# 23:34 aaronpk tantek: that's awesome. I don't even want to know how long it took you to make that.
# 23:34 tantek these are screenshots made by re-arranging icons on iOS home screen
# 23:34 tantek figured I'd do the concept art first before trying to code it in HTML+CSS
# 23:35 tantek where if *you* tap it, it opens mobile twitter website to the DM tantek page
# 23:36 Loqi aaronpk meant to say: yes but how did you get that icon on your iPod!
# 23:37 tantek I know it's funny - it makes it look like there's a super secret new "Twitter DM" iOS app coming
# 23:37 tantek barnabywalters - yes - it's the first time I've used the iOS homescreen for prototyping
_6a68 joined the channel
# 23:41 tantek if you click that you should see a field to send me a new DM
# 23:42 aaronpk wow JSON in HTML tags <meta name="twitter-redirect-srcs" content="{"pwreset-iphone":true,"android":true,"email":true}
">
# 23:43 tantek this is what happens when you spend more time in the mobile web version of a site than in their "native app" ;)
# 23:44 aaronpk yep and it even said "The message was sent" instead of how it used to say "The tweet was posted" which gave me a bit of a panic attack every time
# 23:45 tantek so now you have your direct DM URL that you can share with others
# 23:45 tantek so they can click it to start writing a DM to you.
# 23:45 aaronpk tapped the push notification which launched the twitter app, still waiting for the twitter app to load the message history so I can read it
# 23:46 tantek yeah the twitter "native app" is sooooo slooooooww
# 23:46 tantek see, browsers are VERY GOOD at loading things
# 23:46 tantek so native app authors have to all write their own loading code and get it wrong in so many ways
# 23:51 aaronpk well all this stuff is making me really excited to have time to work on my site again!
# 23:51 aaronpk hopefully can make some progress this weekend and next week!
# 23:52 snarfed agreed, i can't wait to carve out some time to hack together a "contact me" userstyle too
# 23:52 snarfed …on a totally unrelated note, i'm still ironing out kinks, but http://brid.gy/ is getting pretty usable and ready for alpha testers
# 23:52 snarfed if you POSSE posts to silos, and you accept webmentions, feel free to try it out!
# 23:54 snarfed thanks guys. please hold your praise until you see it actually work though. always conservative :P
# 23:54 aaronpk snarfed: whoa so I just logged in with twitter... now what
# 23:54 aaronpk would be nice to be taken to a page explaining something
# 23:54 aaronpk cause otherwise it looks like it didn't do anything cause i'm back on the home page
# 23:55 snarfed refresh the page and see if it has "last polled" and "recent comments" links
# 23:55 snarfed again though, let's see if it actually works for you, then maybe we can get excited
# 23:55 aaronpk HAH my bad... I'm not accepting aaron.pk webmentions yet
# 23:56 aaronpk can you delete my account and I'll add it back after I fix that?
# 23:56 aaronpk I see in my logs that it tried to send a bunch to me
# 23:56 snarfed woohoo, seeing exceptions already. time to fix bugs
# 23:57 barnabywalters snarfed: I accidentally signed up before checking: does bridgy prevent backfeed of tweets which are POSSE copies?
# 23:57 aaronpk no like if benwerd replies to me on twitter, he also sent the webmention from his own site
# 23:57 barnabywalters snarfed: but if someone POSSEs replies, will the POSSE tweets have webmentions sent too?
# 23:57 aaronpk maybe that's actually something my site should sort out!
# 23:58 snarfed ah. right. i don't do second level de-duping like that
# 23:58 barnabywalters this was the big stumbling block I hit up against last time I tried implementing twitter backfeed
# 23:58 tantek aaronpk > " my bad... I'm not accepting aaron.pk webmentions yet" HAH!
# 23:58 snarfed maybe so, yeah. i like that it only sends webmentions, it doesn't decide if or what to render on your site
# 23:58 aaronpk barnabywalters: yeah actually I think that's the responsibility of your own site to de-dupe!
# 23:58 aaronpk or even augment the reply on your site with a syndication link!
# 23:58 snarfed aaronpk: deleting UI and auth is up next, thanks for the nudge
# 23:58 barnabywalters aaronpk: yes, worth checking though as I need to implement that before starting to use bridgy :)
# 23:59 snarfed heh. also, all you alpha testers, feel free to wade through the links to logs. i included those since i knew you all write code and wouldn't be scared of them
