# 00:17 KevinMarks hm. well, a strict activity stream would be 2 entries, but I can see marking that up more compactly using microformats
pauloppenheim joined the channel
# 00:28 acegiak kevinmarks: yeah ive got a bunch of posts have 2 or more verbs
# 00:40 KevinMarks thinkg is , there's always at least a post verb plus something else
# 00:41 kylewm is there a database trick to get the # of articles/notes in the current day? or do you just do a select and take the maximum of all the count values?

# 04:35 bear now that url is giving me a domain issue
# 04:37 aaronpk bah I messed something up with the key for that cert. I used some other private key
# 04:38 bear clearing a private key is tedious but doable - google has the solution
# 04:39 bear https will let you connect with odd cert orders from browsers
# 04:42 bear I could have sworn that nginx page had that line
# 04:43 bear must be a version diff then - my configs don't have ssl on
# 04:44 aaronpk ok added back the cipher line and everything is still working!
# 04:44 aaronpk yeah that was my bad. i've always used "ssl on", and didn't notice the "default_server" at the end of the listen line. so now mine looks like the wiki.
# 04:45 bear k I get what you meant now (and I googled nginx ssl on) - it had been a while since I last used that
# 04:45 bear the important thing is that you are now SSL enabled
# 04:47 aaronpk man i'm still on the fence about whether to use linode or aws for this stuff
# 04:48 bear I have personal servers so for me it's a moot point
# 04:48 aaronpk it's easier to throw servers around and upgrade parts in AWS
# 04:48 bear I prefer AWS or Rackspace just for that reason
# 04:49 bear linode makes me all stabby with their UI
# 04:50 aaronpk i'd have to figure out how to handle wiki file uploads if I move to AWS
andendau joined the channel
# 04:51 aaronpk yeah, all the images that are on the wiki are currently in the filesystem of the machine. but that's not good in AWS
# 04:51 bear yea, you could run a job that s3cmd rsyncs
# 04:51 bear it's what I do for a lot of stuff that is on AWS
# 04:52 bear either have a daemon monitoring dir or run a cronjob every couple of minutes

# 04:57 bear I no nothing about wordpress or it's realm
# 04:58 KartikPrabhu the reason I ask is Jetpack seems to be able to auto-publish to a Google+ user page, but there is nothing about this in the Google+ API
# 05:11 KartikPrabhu aaha! So it seems Google provides write access through their APIs on a case by case basis. Wordpress.com has access and the Jetpack plugin just piggybacks on that.

# 06:12 KartikPrabhu scottjenson: I think the article is more about having another social network. I did not get any sense of encouraging "writing/sharing on your own space" instead of an aggregate silo.
basal and cweiske joined the channel
# 06:30 basal Hey all, trying to get into indieweb and understand microformats and all
# 06:32 basal Most of this seem to be focused on personal sites. I'm becoming the webmaster for my college newspaper, any different takes for an organization rather than individual?
jeukku_ joined the channel
# 06:33 cweiske you still have posts/entries with a date, heading, content
# 06:34 basal yep we're using wordpress
# 06:35 cweiske then it's the task of your wp theme to add the correct markup/classes
# 06:36 basal yeah, right now I don't have access to the theme but when I get permission there will be lots of fixing up
dvirsky joined the channel
# 06:37 basal I added SubToMe to make it easy to subscribe to the rss feed
# 06:38 basal wish there was something similar for podcasts
jjuran, tantek and netweb joined the channel
# 06:53 basal Well there are lots of podcatchers, most people use iTunes but there are Miro, Zune, gPodder, Winamp, Juice and that's not including mobile.
# 06:54 basal cweiske, I guess it's tough because most podcatchers arn't websites
# 06:56 basal with media attachments
# 06:56 cweiske so when the applications register themselves as handlers for those MIME types, the browser would open them
# 06:58 basal well now browsers can handle most media formats themselves thanks to html5
# 06:59 basal now I use my phone to listen to podcasts though
# 07:03 basal on android there is a "share via firefox sync" option that I use to send pages from my phone to computers. Having that functionality on a website, to send the page to your phone, would be amazing.
# 07:03 basal if anyone from Mozilla is listening
# 07:09 cweiske then you still only have the link in firefox on your phone, not on your podcast app
# 07:11 basal well like you said before, the application registered to handle the MIME type can grab it
# 07:11 basal or "intent" in android
# 07:12 cweiske my workflow is: subscribe to feed => opens my feed reader => I put it in the "podcasts" category => my phone podcast app fetches the OPML file for the podcasts category from my feed reader => automatically has the new podcast
netweb joined the channel
# 07:14 tantek cweiske - not true, numerous Mozilla people are listening here (myself included)
# 07:14 tantek basal - podcasts are an interesting case for sure!
# 07:15 basal tantek, I'm glad it's on topic
# 07:16 basal cweiske, so your feed reader is web based? how does the podcast app fetch the OPML?
# 07:22 basal useful for multiple devices

# 15:12 chrisroos Would anyone be interested in a London Homebrew website club? I'm keen and have an office we can use.
# 15:13 chrisroos Alternatively, is there already one happening that I've managed to miss?
CheckDavid joined the channel
# 15:22 chrisroos would/should a London HWC share the same schedule as the others (i.e. every other Wednesday evening)?
# 15:25 tommorris chrisroos: weekly might be a bit much. we could start monthly and if there is demand, then try fortnightly, then weekly
dariusdunlap joined the channel
# 15:29 chrisroos tommorris: how does next Wednesday (19th March) sound for the first one?
# 15:30 tommorris chrisroos: that sounds like an awesome idea. I’m happy to post about it and promote it. where’s the location?

# 15:37 jonnybarnes tommorris chrisroos maybe every few months you could do a homebrew meetup on a weekend, only way I as a Mancunian could make one
# 15:38 barnabywalters jonnybarnes: might there be enough interested people in manchester to put together a small meet up?
# 15:38 tommorris jonnybarnes: well, we’ve had IWC in Brighton. It’d be awesome if we could have communities set up across the country
# 15:38 tommorris jonnybarnes: I’m sure Ian Forrester from cubicgarden.com would go to a Manchester event.
pasevin joined the channel
# 15:45 chrisroos So, should we try to fit in with that schedule, or are we happy to create our own schedule (next Wednesday doesn't fit in with the existing fortnightly set-up)?
# 15:46 tommorris I think Wikipedia’s old dictum of “Be Bold” applies here.
# 15:48 tommorris michielbdejong: no, but if a Paris IWC happens, I’d book my Eurostar ticket pretty much immediately. ;)

# 16:22 chrisroos tommorris: Yeah - that's what I was trying to say earlier (but obviously did a poor job of communicating it)
# 16:22 KevinMarks_ well, you can't really sync exactly, unless you want to meat very early in the day

# 18:35 kylewm I also need to be able to reply-to >1 post at once ... so I could reply to a comment and the original post I think
# 18:36 snarfed btw, if you get tired of writing silo api code for posseing, feel free to try out http://brid.gy/publish . i'll have docs up in a day or two. ping me with any q's!
# 18:37 snarfed dariusdunlap: usually streamed, not sure about recorded
# 18:38 dariusdunlap Cool - if someone can stick the link on the wiki that would be awesome.
# 18:40 KartikPrabhu dariusdunlap: nice site! If I may suggest getting better contrast on some of the text colour v/s the background. Sort of hard to read
# 18:42 snarfed minor nit: the links at the top don't yet point to the right places, but you probably already know that
# 18:44 KartikPrabhu dariusdunlap: sorry. it seems the colours are fine, just that Lato is a very thin typeface!
# 18:45 dariusdunlap Lots to fix still, including the weird gradient behavior when you tighten the horizontal width.
# 18:45 KartikPrabhu dariusdunlap: of course, the template is very nice... just minor suggestions :)
# 18:47 snarfed eh, looks like the gradient is just the background while the images load. i don't mind it! looks good on my phone (android n4)
# 18:47 dariusdunlap You don't end up with the gradient extending below the carousel image, leaving the light gradient with light text overlaid?
# 18:48 snarfed aha, good point. yes i do. maybe there's a setting somewhere for how to crop/fill
# 18:49 dariusdunlap Yeah, I'll fix it, but some of this "serviceable" but not perfect stuff is going to wait until after I get all my hCard and other important hookups working.

# 19:52 tantek kylewm, sounds like we need "like" testing/validation in indiewebify.me. cc: barnabywalters, bnvk
# 19:54 dariusdunlap Interesting question. Could be my wordpress theme, or could be something odd with Brid.gy
# 19:57 tantek wonders if there's a feature request / issue filing spot for indiewebify.me
# 19:59 kylewm dariusdunlap, I'm wondering now whether it might be related to the issue snarfed linked me to earlier. kind of a shot in the dark though
# 20:01 KartikPrabhu dariusdunlap: I don't think kylewm's like went through bridgy. for wordpress what are you using for webmentions in case you know?
# 20:02 dariusdunlap hmmm. maybe it's that plugin. I only just set this all up, so I'm not entirely clear on what does what.

# 20:16 kylewm KartikPrabhu, very kind of you to look into it
basal and pfenwick joined the channel
# 20:29 jonnybarnes looking at aaronpk's markup when quoting external content, i.e. a tweet he's replying to or an indieweb comment, the actual content is being marked up with both e-content (makes sense), and p-name. Why the p-name?
Kopfstein joined the channel
# 20:35 kylewm jonnybarnes, I noticed that people will mark up notes with both because they have no title
# 20:36 KartikPrabhu notes have no title, and the implied name that mf2 parsers might guess could not be what you want.
tilgovi joined the channel
# 20:39 jonnybarnes so if there was a title, that'd be tagged p-name and the note itself would just be e-content?
# 20:40 KartikPrabhu but notes usually do not have titles. So if aaronpk did not put a p-name there then mf2 parsers would try to guess one and it might guess something not nice, like the entire text of the h-entry.
snarfed1 joined the channel
# 20:42 jonnybarnes so with regard to short notes like tweets, is aaronpk following recommended practice?
# 20:45 KartikPrabhu afaik there is no "recommended practice" It depends on what you want to be seen as the title of the note
# 20:45 KartikPrabhu using e-content seems like a good idea. I don't know what else could be used
# 20:47 kylewm i had the same thing happen on my first couple attempts
ttepasse joined the channel
# 20:49 KartikPrabhu kylewm: yes definitely. I still don't have mf2 done as well as I'd like on my site
paulcp joined the channel
# 20:52 KartikPrabhu funny enough, in that example, I think it tried to guess a p-name and then a u-url and maybe other things and my comment failed all! so it used the content :P

# 22:56 snarfed1 yeah, right now bridgy only sends wms for specific post links, but you could hack it to send on everything
# 22:57 snarfed1 but i'd suggest those atom feed generators instead
