# 00:02 GWG KartikPrabhu: I remember what Mayor Giuliani said before he went nuts that I agreed with.

# 00:04 GWG KartikPrabhu: The...you are either with us or against us philosophy is what I object to.
# 00:05 KartikPrabhu I am glad people are taking a more moderate stance on this even though I am not
# 00:06 GWG You can criticize and prefer an alternate method without rejecting the use of the format by others, or supporting it.
# 00:06 GWG I don't like AIM, but I keep my account up because 5 people I know still insist on using it
# 00:06 GWG Of course, I use Bitlbee to make it look like IRC to me, but...
# 00:08 GWG KartikPrabhu: Either way, the stakes are different for me as opposed to you.
# 00:08 GWG You have to make a decision to support RSS. I'd have to make a decision to not support it
# 00:10 GWG But we criticize everything in the wiki
# 00:10 GWG I criticize WordPress in the wiki, and I like WordPress
# 00:11 GWG I want XMLRPC to die and be replaced by JSON REST, but I recognize the community philosophy is that XMLRPC continues for backward compatibility for the foreseeable future, and I understand that.
# 00:12 KartikPrabhu jumping from XMLRPC to JSON does not do anything IMO. FWIW, HTML has stood the test of time better than any of these ephemeral fashion-formats
# 00:16 GWG KartikPrabhu: I want XMLRPC gone because I hate the implementation. JSON REST is what the community decided they would implement as a better replacement.
# 00:16 GWG I will agree with you that simpler works better

# 00:40 GWG pdurbin: I feel strongly about a lot of things.
# 00:41 GWG But if I went off and didn't work with others because I didn't like their views...where would that put me?
# 00:46 pdurbin It sounds like Dave Winer is waiting for alternatives to RSS to become popular before he supports them.
# 00:47 GWG I don't think of h-feed as an alternative per se
# 00:47 GWG It's the sae file you were serving

# 06:46 tantek !tell elf-pavlik should I add a follow-up agenda item about the problem of when people spend more time emailing about the social web rather than building it on their own personal sites?
# 06:46 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 06:56 tantek It's amazing how slow, unfriendly, fragile, and network inefficient all silo posting user interfaces are.
# 06:56 tantek E.g. Instagram takes so many steps to post a video, and then crashes before I can add a caption.
# 06:57 tjgillies tantek: stop using instagram? ;)
# 06:57 aaronpk instagram is one of the better ones too, since at least it handles offline posting relatively wel
# 06:57 tjgillies im about to get rid of my last silo as I transition to quitter
# 06:58 tjgillies twitter is still good for DMs though
# 06:58 tjgillies thats pretty much my email-lite
# 06:58 tantek tjgillies: you'll find that lots of folks here use Instagram as a posting user interface, for photos and video.
# 06:59 tantek because others are worse, and it's hard to build one yourself
# 07:01 tjgillies does known do video?
# 07:02 tjgillies i'll have to hack an html5 video plugin together
# 07:03 tantek tjgillies: I know Known/idno had challenges with video
# 07:03 tjgillies <video src="video.file">?

# 18:18 Loqi kylewm meant to say: snarfed: nice shoutout from adactio!
# 18:26 snarfed kylewm++ for adding search to activitystreams-unofficial!
# 18:30 Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
# 18:32 ben_thatmustbeme the author stuff will be fine, but its somewhat interesting to deal with markup of a new message that should be appended to the log
# 18:37 Loqi slack/snarfed: kylewm: apologies in advance for the no-look review... my main q is whether the opensocial API (which it's based on) supported search. if so i'd want to consider that
# 18:37 Loqi slack/snarfed: otherwise I bet yours is great!

# 18:38 Loqi slack/snarfed: ben_thatmustbeme I assume you looked at the web irc logs?
# 18:40 tjgillies anyone know a place that does free email hosting for your domain?
# 18:42 GWG ben_thatmustbeme: What sort of tripod?
# 18:42 Loqi GWG: ben_thatmustbeme left you a message 1 hour, 45 minutes ago: you were asking who has a link rel=me in the head, I have one for an internal page
# 18:42 Loqi GWG: ben_thatmustbeme left you a message 12 minutes ago: do have a tripod if needed
# 18:43 ben_thatmustbeme i'm not very familiar with "types" of tripods, its a camera tripod that a photographer co-worker uses
# 18:44 ben_thatmustbeme also GWG you should add yourself as a co-organizer since you seem to be dealing with all the web presence stuff
# 18:45 GWG ben_thatmustbeme: I will. I'm doing it sort of adhoc.
# 18:45 ben_thatmustbeme KevinMarks, snarfed: what is really strange is the markup of a single message that isn't (yet) part of the chat logs, and how to markup what chat it is a message to
# 18:46 ben_thatmustbeme thats why i'm doing h-feed with u-url and the message with u-in-reply-to that is the h-feed url
Sebastien-L and Guest____ joined the channel
# 18:46 GWG I should still have access to the Indiewebcamp account from last time if we need Google. Otherwise, I need to get with bear on a talky test
# 18:47 KevinMarks I suppose that makes more sense than in reply to the last message
# 18:47 KevinMarks you may want an in-reply-to override for actual direct replies
# 18:48 KevinMarks thinking about the twitter precedent here where time ordering was never quite right and explict
# 18:48 KevinMarks not saying do it now, but be aware of that as a useful enhancement in the thinking
# 18:50 GWG ben_thatmustbeme: Re relme, I've determined the only instance I've seen in the wild is Jihaisse and his Indieauth Links plugin for WordPress. Can't find any others.
# 18:51 ben_thatmustbeme KevinMarks, right now i'm thinking only in the chat or direct messaging model, not in threaded messaging like posts
# 18:51 GWG So, I can't find a compelling reason to do it.
# 18:55 GWG I suppose. Also some things don't want a visual element.
# 18:55 GWG It is also bringing me back to the issue of an expanded hcard

# 21:11 elf-pavlik render map + markers?
# 21:13 KartikPrabhu in any case, you can transmit mf2 as a JSON object and do the same things
# 21:13 elf-pavlik i asked if anyone does something like that
# 21:14 fkooman elf-pavlik: done :)
# 21:14 elf-pavlik also mf2 JSON object doesn't get indexed by search enines, some people care about that

# 21:25 ben_thatmustbeme and you just define a feed url that is really just the name of the room/file but i think i might play with that as a uid instead

# 22:13 ben_thatmustbeme Actually I was thinking something of a square with multiple circles in it. Like logs piled up
# 22:15 snarfed google used lots of logging industry terms for its internal log processing stuff
# 22:16 snarfed like how i hoped to use ag terms for indieweb terms, based on "silo"
# 22:18 ben_thatmustbeme Well honestly of it came to actually logging servers I would just use logstash. Though would be actually pretty interesting to have an output plugin to store your logs after processing to logstore
# 22:24 Loqi ben_thatmustbeme meant to say: Karma for whoever gets that reference
# 22:33 snarfed looks like http://www.opensearch.org/ is the high level answer, but it's not clear if/how that integrates with the opensocial api itself. and even if it does, it's probably way too heavyweight for us
# 22:39 kylewm snarfed: it seems like ?q= is pretty common, (in the world and in this document)
# 22:40 tantek.com edited /wikifying (+96) "expanded itches guidance just a bit to encourage broader thinking of what "online" may mean, include personal digital devices when offline - another challenge for owning your data, and a step for things to get to your indieweb site" (
view diff )
# 22:44 Loqi slack/snarfed: I'll leaning toward note those specs in related work section, then ignore them :p
# 22:45 Loqi slack/snarfed: btw, funny, WordPress is actually ?s=
# 22:56 snarfed so kylewm the use case for search in a-u is woodwind? (and maybe eventually monocle etc?)
# 22:56 kylewm yep -- i wanted to see twitter?q=indieweb in there
# 22:59 kylewm I was looking at the Twitter streaming API, kind of surprised it's literally a streaming HTTP connection, and not like a pub/sub thing
# 23:01 snarfed kylewm: yeah it's unusual in that sense, but kind of entrenched now
# 23:02 snarfed heh, speaking of games, kylewm i stalked your stackoverflow profile(s) a while back and saw you asked a question about ico!
# 23:02 snarfed ico and sotc are two of my favorite games ever. so good
# 23:03 snarfed i'll buy a ps4 just for last guardian if it ever comes out
# 23:03 kylewm amazing games, I played them for the first time relatively recently. can't imagine playing them at the time they came out... would've blown my mind
# 23:06 snarfed i worked on a 3d engine at lucasarts way back in 2001, and i remember comparing how western 3d game art tried so hard to be "correct" and looked sterile, while japanese developers just cheated and hacked and pixel painted everything and got great unique results like ico/sotc
# 23:10 snarfed yup. i just finished the grim fandango remaster. such a classicv

# 23:52 pwcc GWG: Adelaide on the other hand is slightly smaller than the average NY apartment block :)

# 23:54 pwcc acegiak: solid middle of the road but I don't want to be a sysadmin.
# 23:55 acegiak yeah, I'm a bad sysadmin of my home server that's serving acegiak.net and my company's website
# 23:56 acegiak I really need to make that website look less awful
# 23:58 pwcc We all think that from about two weeks after any website is launched :)
# 23:59 GWG pwcc: By the way, anything you are thinking for the Indieweb Fun Pack?
