#
snarfed thanks, man!
#
snarfed much appreciated
#
snarfed looking forward to adding likes/favorites
#
bnvk I need to get web mentions supported on my domain so I can use it :)
#
snarfed definitely!
#
bnvk how do you get around Facebook's lack of a notification API feed?
#
snarfed i just poll recent posts and all of their comments
#
snarfed not winning any efficiency awards
#
bnvk gotcha- so it won't work on older that "recent" posts
paulcp joined the channel
#
snarfed no. i can set the "recent" number arbitrarily high though
#
bnvk Cool. Is the code itself open source?
#
snarfed definitely!
#
snarfed https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy
#
bnvk sweet- python too :)
#
bnvk hopefully i can integrate it into Mailpile at some point!
#
snarfed sure!
#
snarfed as long as you don't expect an SLA :P
#
bnvk A service level agreement? Hehe.

#
tantek that's pretty slick bnvk
#
tantek nice clean presentation and graphics
#
bret nice
#
bret so you are here till the 14th?
#
bnvk tantek: thanks :) have some more ideas I was discussing with aaronpk: yesterday about making it more end-user friendly, like detecting the viewers location, and by default showing the plans relating to while i'm in their town... the rest would be under a "see all" type menu
#
bret bnvk, ill ping you when I figure out what days are best.
#
bnvk cool
#
bret !tell aaronpk bnvk is in town. Down to do some indieweb stuff this week at all?
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

bret oh :p

#
bret gah, stupid virtual server hosting company canceled my paypal subscription wtf
#
aaronpk tantek: ironically, I alsmot didn't click the link to your post because it ends in "-pdf"
#
Loqi aaronpk: bret left you a message 6 minutes ago: bnvk is in town. Down to do some indieweb stuff this week at all?
#
tantek aaronpk LOL!
#
bnvk tantek: aaronpk: is there a page on the wiki explaining all the hate for the .pdf format?
#
bret it used to be more anoying before browsers had built in viewers
#
aaronpk yeah I suppose some of my aversion is due to the terrible UX before browsers had it built in
#
bret its still a sucky format to deal with on the web though. ex copying text from a two column document that has hyphens. gah the worst!
#
bnvk That is def understandable, but I haven't had a hicup with that for a few yrs now
#
bret its also terrible from a standards perspective
#
bret Did you know PDF can incorporate 3d! :D o.0
#
aaronpk bret: i hope you're kidding
#
bret no way! It totally does
#
bret for your CAD drawings, doy
#
bret Someone gave this incredible talk on exporling the PDF standard... its was so great.. I forget where I saw it though
#
bnvk hehe, YAY 3D
#
Loqi does a happy dance!
#
bret The basic message was "look at all this disgusting inappropriate things PDF tries to do"
#
aaronpk lol
#
bret found it
#
bret http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6eaiBIQH8k tantek, you might enjoy that
#
bret "OMG WTF PDF [27C3] "
#
bret "how many of you know that you can play a quicktime movie inside a PDF?!?"

#
julian` what's the best way to get font-sizes responsive depending on browser zoom and resolution
#
KartikPrabhu julian`: what do you mean responsive to browser zoom?
#
julian` today in a presentation i presented my site on a projector and the text was all messed up
#
julian` id like it to stay same size with zoom
andreypopp joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu julian`: there are 2 different things. One is zooming in the browser and the other is screen resolution. If you want the font-size to remain fixed use px to declare font-size in CSS
skinny, lukebrooker, 16WABO4K0, snarfed and cweiske joined the channel
#
julian` wouldnt there be a way to achieve both staying a constant size in relation to the resolution
#
julian` i looked at vh and vw
#
julian` but it doesn't seem to do what i want
#
KartikPrabhu julian`: vh and vw are in units of viewport height and width. ems and ens will respond to the parent elements font-size. px, pt and inches cm are all absolute units, independent of resolution. There aren't CSS units that do both.
skinny and tantek joined the channel
#
julian` well the viewport height and width values dont seem to be working since if i change the viewport size (with zoom) the text doesnt change size...
#
julian` even on a page reload
#
KartikPrabhu viewport size is not related to zoom. 1vw means the font is as big as 1% of the viewport
#
KartikPrabhu julian`: maybe this will help understand all the font-size units http://css-tricks.com/the-lengths-of-css/

#
julian` it was just the vh and vw i wasnt sure of - but that fixes the sizing of fonts on different resolutions so thats good
#
julian` just thought the viewport changed on resolution dont know why
#
julian` i meant zoom^

barnabywalters at hakkavelin we’re playing with calling computers/devices using URLs
alaricmoore joined the channel
#
barnabywalters I added a “call me” URL to my elsewhere section (only currently visible on large screens) which in theory starts a webRTC session with my laptop
#
barnabywalters it actually worked for a few minutes!
#
barnabywalters using http://click2dial.org
#
barnabywalters and a free SIP account at sip2sip.info — interestingly the software on click2dial is all open source an in theory could be run on my own server
