#tantekjust went to FB to create a private event (since I don't support events nor private posts on my own site yet) and there's no obvious way to do it
#tantekThere's a status text box, a button for photo/video, and a life event
#tantekbut no button or obvious UI to create a new event
#GWGSomeday I hope to have enough events to make event creation worth focusing on.
#Loqicreate in the context of the indieweb refers to the act of and UI for creating a new post, in its simplest form, a new note https://indiewebcamp.com/create
#tantekThis is very odd. Their general "create" UI has a "life event" option but no "event" option. Do people really create more "life events" than "events"?!?
#tantek.comedited /create (+307) "/* Facebook Events */ Issues, photos should allow choosing from existing, guests should be able to invite mutual friends" (view diff)

#tantekGWG, until that day, I am going to keep documenting existing event UIs

#tantekappears that you have to choose between a "Public" event, "Private" where invitees can invite friends, and "Private" by host invitation only
#cweiskewhy wouldn't I want to see times in my timezone?
#petermolnaryou might go through a proxy and end up seeing tz for the proxy
#cweiskewhat if conversion is done via javascript?
#cweiskeso the original timezone is sent out, and the JS replaces it with the local time
#petermolnarI know technically it can be done, but instead of a fully automated, trying to be smart thing, I'd ask for a confirmation at the end ( are you sure this is going to be in Pacific time? You seem to be in CET right now. )

#alpowerMorning! QQ: I run my site on middleman/GHPages (https://alpower.com) but am looking to set up a POSSE type setup for my posts (-> Medium) and also PESOS (for Instagram, Pinboard etc). Current blog is just a bunch of markdown files really. I believe I need to move beyond a static site to achieve this - does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Am thinking I might have to move to something like DigitalOcean and either roll my own simple
#alpowerfind a suitable simple CMS that can handle this. Any advice/thoughts as to options?
#petermolnaralpower Medium pull in content via RSS, that is probably the easiest approach
#aaronpkgithub pages is just a file hosting service, so it's actually more of a matter of micropub to whatever static site system you're using that publishes to github pages
#aaronpkfor example someone could set up a micropub service that works with middleman, but it wouldn't necessarily work with a node.js based static site generator
#sknebelwell, github pages has integrated jekyll support, so it's not *just* static file hosting
#sknebelif you have a jekyll setup that fits in what they support, they'll build your pages for you on push
#aaronpktrue, but that's still just one of the many static site generators out there
#GWGpfefferle: If you can now store comment meta by putting it into $commentdata, then how many steps can you simplify the code by for one.
#tantekgentrification of the web is an expression used by writers to refer to changes happening (or expected) in the web that they dislike, disagree with, or fear.
#petermolnarsknebel nope, this is much better, I never like threads; @mention and quotes are way better
#tantek"subject" is one of the worst features of email. it both causes communication overload, and people fork email threads without changing subject :)
#petermolnartantek subject used to be very important to prevent downloading a lot of bytes which used to cost time and money in the wap and pre-wap days
#tantekpetermolnar: didn't work. people just didn't change the subject
#bearsubject was used that way in the early usenet days
#bearbefore irc, email and other "internet" things became more common place
#petermolnarI know, but that is a littlebit like blaming the hammer for falling on my finger :)
#voxpelliI just need to publish my glue so that it's easier for others to adopt + maybe launch it as a service. Perhaps I can get time to do that at IWC Nuremburg
#voxpelliis stubborn and refuses to change subject ;)
#kylewmI find that article's use of gentrification a little bit insensitive. In real life it means changes in the socioeconomics of a neighborhood displacing people who have lived there for a long time... not just a different brand of fancy cheese
#tantekkylewm: yeah there's plenty of that mis-use going around
#sknebelvoxpelli: do you use jekyll as supported by github, or is it run externally?
#aaronpkeven that is manual, I have to copy/paste the content in myself
#voxpellithere's 8 missing IWC:s there, perhaps remake that section into something more manageable?
#tantekvoxpelli: funny thing about "more manageable" takes a lot of work to make something that takes less time managing than it would take to just do the manual work
#tantekthere's some flaw about automation like that that I think I first heard described by Douglas Adams
#voxpellitantek: I was thinking of changing the presentation/content rather than trying to automate it ;)
#gRegorLovetantek: FB lets you choose an existing photo after the events been created, or at least used to. I always added photos as a second step after creating the event and it allowed me to select from albums.
#LoqiAn edit (AKA diff, change) is a special type of reply that indicates a set of suggested changes to the post it is replying to. A collection of (presumably related) suggested edits in open source is often called a patch or pull request https://indiewebcamp.com/edit
#gRegorLoveYou're referring to the "Event photo" banner at the top, correct?
#gRegorLoveMy recollection is that menu is basically the same when an event has no photo, without the "Reposition photo" or "Remove photo" options. I don't have an event sans photo to confirm though.
#tantekinteresting, once you have created a post / comment, you cannot edit it in some ways, e.g. add a poll
#gRegorLoveChanging the photo does create a status-type post in the event, too. People can comment and like it.
#Loqitantek meant to say: looks like FB polls are not editable!
#sknebel!tell alpower just remembered I made a list of CI providers recently, I found 3 ones that had unlimited builds for private repos: wercker.com, circleci.com, drone.io
#bearyou push code to github, github generates a webhook that says "hey, I have a code change", the CI system gets that info and then the code and runs the build
#gRegorLoveI was about to say at least it's ePub and Adobe DRM so you could load your books onto other devices, but apparently not according to that ^ (found on Wikipedia)
#LoqigRegorLove meant to say: That tweet is kinda misleading. It's not Nook as a whole shutting down. But the future doesn't look good for Nook as a whole.
#gRegorLovesnarfed: Didn't know Kindle could load epub. Do you need to convert to mobi first?
