hey emmak! re your PR, you can call Facebook(access_token=…) to use a hard-coded token

this is the kind of thing I was thinking of: http://indiewebcamp.com/User:Tantek.com#need_help_with

I'm hoping that both someone might discover that who has some time and skill to help and that others will add "need help with" sections on their User: pages so we can all offer help to each other where it is needed!

#
Loqi
bret meant to say: tired of things breaking in unexpected places
#
bret
are there test tokens available?
#
bret
like one that would return valid for example.com
#
aaronpk
you should be able to stub out tokens in your test framework

Loqi

ohh cool, just found an addon for this test runner that lets me make http request to the actual server
snarfed joined the channel
#

wow, I did a lot of this incorrectly. totally need to rethink how configuration setting meander there way into request objects

#
aaronpk
hm, for $12/mo I could set up an AWS server with 120gb of storage and run a dedicated bittorrent sync instance
#
@martinlindner
@guenterhack ja, das ist natürlich idiotisch. aber was wäre die richtige tool-ebene für ein trotzdem deppenfreundliches #indieweb?

#
bret
aaronpk they allow torrent traffic?
#
aaronpk
oh huh, good question
#
bret
hosts, historically have been pretty hostile to torrent traffic
#
bret
its my impression they are letting up a bit
#
aaronpk
they have official bittorrent access to your S3 files
#
aaronpk
so i'm gonna go with yes
#
bret
aaronpk is that not way cheaper than dropbox>.
#
bret
its acutally about the same wow
#
aaronpk
actually dropbox is a little cheaper
#
aaronpk
oh wait I priced AWS at 120gb instead of 100gb
#
bret
dropbox: 100GB = $10
#
bret
its the same
#
bret
except you get 20 moar gigs
#
aaronpk
dropbox is $8.25/mo if you pre-pay for the year
#
bret
oh hrmm
#
aaronpk
and to get the price I said on AWS you also have to pre-pay
#
aaronpk
you can get the ec2 price down to $4.50/mo if you pre-pay for a year
#
bret
condalisa rice personally spell checks your documents on dropbox too!
#
bret
i have some mailbox for mac beta invites if anyone wants them
#
jonnybarnes

@aral also agree p2p is required. Alas, a very hard problem to solve for a use case like Twitter /@schofeld @indiewebcamp

Did this tweet get picked up because of "IndieAuthorClub"? http://twtr.io/pwT9SHFxN8
#
gRegor`
Er, wrong tweet
tilgovi, paulcp, wolftune and tantek joined the channel
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: Indieweb already does p2p - @aral may be unaware of that.
#
KartikPrabhu
tantek: he seems to be contrasting p2p and the web so I dn't know what he means
#
tantek
That broader perspective often requires actually shipping indieweb support yourself on your own site, including owning your own notes & replies.
#
tantek
Instead of sharecropping on twitter (as he and others like @anildash) still do.
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: You don't know what he means because he's fundamentally wrong, and so obviously so to those of us that already publish and use webmention p2p.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah that is what I thought
#
KartikPrabhu
also the attitude that we must fix everything before we start doing little things right is un-feasible
#
KartikPrabhu
"I will post my own notes only when we have p2p distributed DNS system world-wide" --- errr not going to happen
#
bret
there is a P2P DNS system in place, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia the pirate bay, a very global website, depends on it
#
tantek
Or use BitTorrent
#
bret
bittorrent sync is pretty amazing, such a step forward from the traditional website/tricker/client bittorrent model
#
tantek
But yes, the fix everything first from the bottom attitude is fundamentally obsolete.

Only by reusing and building upon existing building blocks can we focus on the more important problems, namely UX.

will do tonight
#

Cool
#
gRegor`
I think the one after this we'll move the start time back half an hour.
#
KartikPrabhu
oh this is still 18:30 ?
#
gRegor`
Yeah. I guess it could be changed still.
#
KartikPrabhu
gRegor`: all depends on others who might want to attend. I am pretty neutral about the time
#
gRegor`
Only Margot responded to my query about the later time and she said in general it's not the time that's a problem, just other conflicts.
#
KartikPrabhu
we should invite adactio if he's still around in chicago oon wednesday
#
gRegor`
But since we're the majority (only :) attendees so far and it works for us, I think it's fine to move it back.
#
Loqi
yea!
#
gRegor`
Oh yeah! Forgot about that. I asked him what brought him here, but didn't hear back.
#
KartikPrabhu
yeah i saw. we'll see
#
gRegor`
You should ask him about Wednesday. You two have actually interacted; he probably doesn't know me.
#
KartikPrabhu
gRegor`: yeah I will.
#
KartikPrabhu
!tell adactio: if you are still in Chicago by Wednesday evening, you should be our special celebrity guest attendee to the Homebrew Website Club! ;)

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

^^^ quite a bit of design thinking already there, along with incremental steps to implement.
#
bret
snarfed PESOS RTs should be pretty easy as its just new content
#
bret
so I can build off of micropub
#
snarfed
bret: sure! if you already have that set up, and esp if you're already using the twitter api, then definitely
#
bret
new to the twitter api
#
bret
from there, I could create a bookmarklet that works off of the back feeder and do POSSE RTs
