GWG
Likely before I made changes in the metabox callback
#
GWG
I wasn't taking advantage of things
#
GWG
Wait...I changed the Kind Metabox, not the URL metabox.
#
GWG
Nothing should be broken there
KevinMarks, begriffs and snarfed joined the channel
#
acegiak
GWG: is there a rule where you can't save the URL box if it's a note kind?
#
GWG
Possibly.
#
acegiak
because now that I've reverted to before your changed the metabox code I can change the kind and hte url box works fine
#
GWG
I don't remember.
#
GWG
That is why I want to look
#
GWG
I have been immersed in my other projects
#
acegiak
yeah legit
#
GWG
acegiak: I have been fixing things left and right, so I'll get there eventually.
#
GWG
Of course, I've also been breaking new things, so...
#
acegiak
I worked out that kindsprite.svg has the other svgs IN it so I had to edit inside it to get the new icon to show up
#
GWG
acegiak: I use grunt to auto-generate it.
#

Just generated the first draft of this week's newsletter! https://indieweb.org/this-week/2017-02-10.html I'll generate a draft again tomorrow, so please add to it before then! https://indieweb.org/this-week#How_to

GWG: oh! I don't tend to use any of those things :P
#
GWG
I just use it to do things like merge a bunch of svg files.
#
KevinMarks
How big are the svg files? There are odd trade offs there
#
GWG
KevinMarks: The last time we talked about SVGs I obsessed too long
KevinMarks, miklb, KartikPrabhu and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks]
Use them as single files first, then see if it's worth spriting or in lining
#
[kevinmarks]
Also, as we move to http2 a lot of this goes away
#
GWG
[kevinmarks]: It is already done.

interesting, this is kind of a quote tweet

or "repost with comment"
#
aaronpk
i've never seen this before
#
snarfed
oh yeah, FB shares can include comments
#
aaronpk
isn't that basically equivalent to twitter's quoted tweet then?
#
snarfed
also i think FB renders subtly differently depending on whether you included a comment or not. also similar to twitter

Very cool.

I see acegiak's next step: automate mood entering based on ~fitbit data

#
Zegnat
acegiak, does that mean mood is one dimensional?
#
GWG
Hello, petermolnar
jeremycherfas_ joined the channel
#
acegiak
Zegnat: For my purposes currently, yeah. I know it's a simplification but it's all I need at the moment
#
acegiak
sometimes I log moods without a number as well
#
acegiak
petermolnar: an activity tracker that measured heartrate and wasn't super bulky is something I'd love to have
#
acegiak
I'd like to track sleep but can't work out how sleep tracking works without heart rate monitoring?
[dgold] joined the channel
#
petermolnar
in the early smartphone days there were a few apps which wanted to sleep next to you on the mattress stating that it can measure you sleep cycle according to the movements and vibrations it picks up
#
petermolnar
they were all paid app, so /me open source enthusiast skipped them
#
[dgold]
petermolnar - I snagged one of those free one weekend in an app store sale
#
[dgold]
oh, its now free with an IAP for 'pro' features - Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock
sl007 and danohu joined the channel
#
GWG
acegiak, I just bought something that monitors movement
#
GWG
It uses that to determine sleep
#
jeremycherfas
I use Sleep Cycle but I’ve never bothered to download those data. I really don’t need to own them.
#
jeremycherfas
It does sync with Health app on iOS, but I don’t know whether there is any way to access that.
#
GWG
Right now, I don't feel the need to post my sleep data.
#
sebsel
yeah but owning your data !== post your data.
#
sebsel
Sleep Cycle offers CSV export (last time I checked), but that does only include the times you went to bed and woke up
#
sebsel
they have more data in those images, but you can't get that
#
petermolnar
it seems like the same problem with Google location history: you can request and export to kml manually but not from api, so no auto-PESOS
mlncn joined the channel
#
voxpelli
notices that the built in Health.app in iOS allows data to be exported, so one really owns all the data in there, which means any application that adds data to Health.app, like sleep data, makes that data truly yours
#
sebsel
what is Health.app?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Health.app" yet. Would you like to create it?_h

My compulsion to publically post data about myself is rapidly coming into violent contact with suddenly being a more vulnerable person online
#
[acegiak_net]
Suddenly is a strong word, just feels that way to me
#
[acegiak_net]
GWG: thinking about making a custom posting interface for lower friction entry of a couple of post types...
#
[acegiak_net]
Specifically from mobile
#
petermolnar
[acegiak_net] that is the reason why I don't do checkins and locations posts
#
petermolnar
I do collect my location and POST it to my server, but that's for geotagging photos purpose solely
#
[acegiak_net]
Yeah, definitely. I wish there were a low friction way for people I trust to see that data on my site if they want to but short of having them log in and maintain cookies/sessions I got nothin
#
petermolnar
there is, however, one thing I miss from our current world: a local contact list based geonotification if a friend is around and if that support is enabled, but it looks like this can't be done without at least one centralized thing
#
Loqi
misses from our current world: a local contact list based geonotification if a friend is around and if that support is enabled, but it looks like this can't be done without at least one centralized thing too

thank you, Loqi, I promise if I see any other AIs around you, I'll let you know

Health.app is a build in iOS app by Apple that collects health data from other apps
#

#
sebsel
Health.app is a build in iOS app by Apple that collects health data from other apps
#
Loqi
ok, I added "http://www.apple.com/ios/health/" to the "See Also" section of /Health.app
#
Zegnat
petermolnar, decentralised geo tracking is interesting, but you would quickly get into [acegiak_net]'s problem of fencing of who gets at your data.
#
Zegnat
I could WebPub whenever I update a GPS page, and you could subscribe to that and generate a notification if I am close to you.
#
Zegnat
But how do I make sure the whole world doesn't subscribe to that...
#
petermolnar
that depends. in flickr, for example you can setup geofences: location of photos made there are not shown
#
petermolnar
so whatever published the location could have areas that are prevented from publishing position or the other way around, areas enabled to publish
#
petermolnar
eg. I'd block my home and workplace and similar, but enable a few public places, pubs, libraries to publish if I'm right there
#
Zegnat
Right. So I might only publish my position when I am visiting certain places. But not sure if that makes sense. It would never allow you to see if I am home when you are passing my town, for example.
#
Zegnat
I should not have used the term fence off, as I didn't mean it as geofencing. Just as keeping people out.
#
Loqi
it is probable
#
petermolnar
it would work the other way around: you, in your geofenced home would see I'm around; see this from the depths of the internet from caseorganic and aaronpk: http://caseorganic.com/?p=3669
#
petermolnar
I've looked into owntracks and mqtt brokers yesterday and a private mqtt broker is perfect for this
#
[acegiak_net]
Really tempted to scan my visitors' browser footprints for evidence they might be one of my friends and then use that to work out a low impact login/auth to view private content
#
[acegiak_net]
But I'm so bad at authorisation stuff in general...
#
petermolnar
imaginery scenario: some people I have in my contact list have private mqtt brokers; I subscribe to them. When it's allowed I post my location to their brokers and if they are listening, they get a notification.
#
[acegiak_net]
Anyway I should sleep before these crazy late night idea take hold
#
voxpelli
petermolnar: I request to follow you, you approve my request, I subscribe to your WebSub-enabled composite stream, you add GPS-stuff there with the accuracy you trust me with, I react to that data when I feel it's of interest to me
#
[acegiak_net]
What is mqtt?
#
Loqi
MQTT is (MQ Telemetry Transport), a lightweight pub-sub protocol over TCP most commonly used in IoT applications https://indieweb.org/MQTT
#
petermolnar
however, mqtt is probably the most efficient way of doing this
#
voxpelli
what was fire eagle?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "fire eagle" yet. Would you like to create it?_j
#
petermolnar
I'm aware google latitude offered similar ideas, but I'm still having bad feelings about having my location data in google. not that I can avoid it :(
#
voxpelli
Fire Eagle was a Yahoo service that stored a persons geolocation and shared it with other applications over an OAuth with application specific accuracy levels
#
voxpelli
petermolnar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Eagle – that was one really exciting service, waaaaaay ahead of its time
