sooo….i have code up and running that scrapes m.facebook.com with a session cookie and converts it to atom

looks great in my feed reader, and includes way more posts than the API ever did

#
tommorris
today, I've mostly been thinking about location stuff, and building the back-end for doing geonames lookups. then sketching possible front-ends for it and typing out ideas of how it could work
#
tommorris
I've been looking a lot at how Twitter does location sharing. when you share your location on Twitter, it is vague by default - city level. but you can tick to enable sharing of exact locations
#
tommorris
seems like that's the right divide - vague location is city or large town (30-50,000+ people) - exact location is street/venue level
#
tantek
good defaults with location stuff seems super important
#
tommorris
well, twitter's defaults are sensible because twitter is mostly public web while swarm is private.
#
aaronpk
tommorris: i'm curious how often you've wanted to actually "check in" to a vague location like a city
#
tommorris
aaronpk: not so much check in, but annotating that you are in a specific place
#
aaronpk
i've only encountered a couple cases when I want to do that, mostly when traveling and I land at an airport, I want to say "hey i'm in this city!"
j12t joined the channel
#
tommorris
the distinction I've come up with is between "dateline" (e.g. this post was made when in New York) and "checkin" (I'm at this bar, and the gin is awesome!!)
#
@jkphl
wished he could be over in #Brighton now and join @adactio, @Lottejackson, @glennjones & all the others @ HWC. Have fun! #indieweb
(twitter.com/_/status/631506861083201536)
#
tommorris
and the former should be vague by default, while the latter only really works if it is specific
#
aaronpk
yeah, I like when my posts and photos and things include the location, but I often want that location to be just the city
#
tommorris
in terms of posting UI, the distinction becomes one of "add location" vs. "checkin"
#
tommorris
so, my solution on the dateline stuff is to use geonames to find the nearest city. just need to run a bunch of tests to decide what feature types should match on
#
tommorris
I ended up writing most of the RDF juggling code for it this morning. (and, yes, RDF.)
#
tommorris
Geonames' RDF stuff isn't rate-limited like the XML/JSON endpoints are
#
tommorris
so I use the JSON endpoints for search, then switch to using the RDF endpoints because I can GET them without having to burn up rate-limit credits
#
tantek
that's, ironic
#
tommorris
refers back to that Rorty quote about not caring what brand of duct tape one uses to keep the philosophical plumbing working.
#
tantek
tommorris: maybe you can talk KevinMarks into hosting an RDF endpoint -> JSON transformer on unmung ;)
#
tommorris
well, JSON-LD is a thing.

In another example of perfect (or just "better") is the enemy of good, or something, I'm *still* rewriting it as a blog post. Hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

They've started plastering various construction walls in SF with giant black & white posters with their logo and something about f*** ads on social networks.

I'm wondering if someone is going to just cross out the "ads on" portion :P
#
tantek
yes that's it
#
tantek
and yeah, drop the "Ads on"
#
tantek
also really bad line-breaking on that copy
#
tantek
makes it read as two statements "Ads on Social" and "Networks Suck."
#
tantek
and wow - that's not "street art" WTF.

#
tantek
whoa - try https://ello.co/thomashawk on a cinema display full screen
#
aaronpk
lol sidebar "beautiful and ad-free" with a sign-up form for ello... that looks like an ad to me
#
tantek
aaronpk: self-ads aren't ads, they're marketing ;)
#
tantek
I think "ad" implies being paid to show it
#
aaronpk
true haha
#
tantek
like being paid *by someone else*
#
tantek
I have a feeling Thomas's praise of Ello is somewhat a result of Flickr screwing up their web UI with so much JS sluggishness.
glennjones joined the channel
#
tantek
also to be fair, that thomashawk profile on ello loads WITHOUT JS and fairly quickly. scrolls fine too despite large images etc.
#
tantek
looks like just the comments don't work without JS
#
tantek
hmm looks like Andy abandoned his account: https://ello.co/waxpancake - also the text fails to responsively resize on a fully zoomed cinema display window - which I'm thinking it should to be consistent with the wide photos.
#
tantek
what is Ello?

Ello is microblogging silo similar to Twitter or Tumblr for posting short status update notes and pictures https://indiewebcamp.com/Ello

also twitter is mainly notes so no title to generate slug, ello has articles where by a readable slug can be generated from title instead of an opaque hex code

KartikPrabhu: I'm not sure that would help

tantek
slugs shouldn't be used for permalink identity anyway :P

the way to avoid the database-id-as-hex-or-alpha gibberish is to use date-time based ids

rather than dates. I never remember date/time for a post I read
#
tantek
the point is not memorability, but rather visual appeal
#
ben_thatmustbeme
i think the changing case is the only part that doesn't look good to people
#
tantek
the theory being that URLs that look more sketchy tend to not get clicked as much
#
KartikPrabhu
slugs do look nice ;)
#
tantek
I think the only exception is for *short* uses of such gibberish, e.g. link shorteners
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu: exactly, permalinks should have slugs, but the slugs themselves should not affect the resolution of the URL
#
ben_thatmustbeme
slugs are really for SEO (at least originally)
#
KartikPrabhu
I have read that, but still use slugs on my site. no trouble so far. Will reconsider if I do run into something
#
gRegorLove
Same here, KartikPrabhu
#
gRegorLove
If a slug gets truncated in an email, I plan to have my 404 page perform a search and suggest possible matches.
#
tantek
seems fragile
#
tantek
however, worth documenting as an alternative approach
#
tantek
anytime we're trying multiple approaches, we should documen that, with reasons for each and methods
#
gRegorLove
I've yet to hear of people having a hard time clicking a link to my site somewhere and ending up at a 404.
#
tantek
KartikPrabhu, gRegorLove could you add that perspective/examples to http://indiewebcamp.com/URL_design#Topic
#
ben_thatmustbeme
all that really is needed in my urls in the numbers /2014/12/30/1
#
ben_thatmustbeme
the slug is all optional, it will redirect to the correct url
#
aaronpk
what is your plan if you want to change the text of the slug?
#
tantek
ben_thatmustbeme: right, same here
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "your plan if you want to change the text of the slug" yet. Would you like to create it? http://indiewebcamp.com/s/101J
#
ben_thatmustbeme
actually if you change the post type it will redirect correctly too
#
gRegorLove
1) It's quite rare that I change slugs 2) ProcessWire performs 301 redirects
#
snarfed
aaronpk: if you do that, you need to handle redirecting the old slug anyway…so it kinda seems equivalent
#
gRegorLove
I debated including day and ordinal number in my URLs, but ultimately I didn't want more than YYYY/MM/
#
snarfed
fwiw i've used short slugs and no dates in my non blog post urls forever, and i've always been happy with it
scoates_ joined the channel
#
aaronpk
the way i handle it is the slug is just informative, so /2015/08/01/1/whatever will always redirect to the current slug
#
ben_thatmustbeme
so post type is actually just informative as well
#
gRegorLove
aaronpk: Do you use rel=canonical on those pages?
#
snarfed
i guess i don't mind having dates in my blog post urls, but i care more about showing the date on the page itself, so i'd probably be just as happy w/no dates in blog post urls either
#
aaronpk
on what pages?
#
gRegorLove
Just a sec. Let me try an actual URL
#
gRegorLove
Ah, nevermind. I was wondering, for example, if http://aaronparecki.com/notes/2015/08/10/5/abcdef would just show the proper note, but it redirects.
#
gRegorLove
I like that method. Only reason I'm not using it is because I decided to only have the year and month in my URL hierarchy.
#
aaronpk
honestly I prefer the way yyyy/mm/slug looks for blog posts, that was always my preferred setting for wordpress installs
#
tantek
aaronpk, I know what you mean, and that's why I prefer yyyy/ddd/

I figure the /t1/ or /b1/ is fairly innocuous after that

fsvo "require"
#
KevinMarks
it does make DNS harder
#
aaronpk
harder yes
#
aaronpk
not impossible
#
KevinMarks
I di start setting up g.kevinmarks.com and a.kevinmarks.com for google and amazon mirrors, but as posting to my site isn't automatic,…
#
KevinMarks
maybe I should go back to that idea
#
aaronpk
I wonder if I should spiderpig my own site before I switch it over to the new version
#
tantek
not a bad idea
#
aaronpk
really wish i had done that to my first site
#
kylewm
aaronpk: it actually *is* impossible with just plain DNS right? some registrars or DNS services provide a feature to alias a bare domain, but it does something tricky behind the scenes

ben_thatmustbeme: do you support posting or receiving https://indiewebcamp.com/tag-reply posts?
#
aaronpk
a top-level domain can't be a CNAME if that's what you mean
#
aaronpk
but some hosts give you a couple of IP addresses you can use, and then they do fancy routing tricks behind the scenes
#
aaronpk
Amazon does a crazy thing where they set the TTL of your domain to 60 seconds and update it with the IP of your load balancers in real time
#
ben_thatmustbeme
tantek, no not yet
#
tantek
huh I thought maybe you did as part of your person-tag support
#
tantek
does the basic premise of it work for you?

aaronpk: darn - by old site do you mean pre-2011?
#
aaronpk
no, before that
#
aaronpk
the 1999-2002 version
#
aaronpk
the one where I made a couple hundred HTML files by making an excel spreadsheet with the data then doing a "mail merge" in word with the html template
#
aaronpk
that was before I learned Perl...
#
tantek
archive org likely has it
#
aaronpk
sadly i hid a lot behind javascript popup window links *headdesk*
#
tantek
aww sadness
#

what is js;dr?
#
Loqi
js;dr is JavaScript required; Didn’t Read https://indiewebcamp.com/js;dr
#
aaronpk
there are still some floppies at my parents house that might have a copy
#
tantek
perhaps add that use of js and subsequent non-archiving as an IndieWeb Example to /js;dr ?
