#
jeremycherfas Don't suppose anyone here knows how to convert an OSX date string of "March 9, 2018 at 02:55PM" to a Unix type string?
#
sknebel what language?
#
sknebel first look, strptime probably can handle it
#
jeremycherfas Well, I've returned to Applescript to noodle around, although I can also do shell commands.
#
jeremycherfas Strptime() doesn't seem to be available. Is it in bash?
#
KartikPrabhu its python
#
sknebel and php and C and ...
#
sknebel ;)
#
KartikPrabhu oh! ok :P

#
jeremycherfas Thanks, but I think I'll just bumble along with text strings and see how far I can get.
#
skippy does BSD `date` on the command line work with that format?
#
skippy jeremycherfas: where are you obtaining that date string?
wolftune joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas From current date in Applescript. But don't worry, seriously, I am solving the problem in my own strange way.
#
skippy ok
JohnBeales joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas Actually, I think I can just use date in a shell, but still puzzling it out.

chrisaldrich GWG: the micro.blog community is very warm and cordial. Somewhat like the group here, albeit a bit larger. You might appreciate it.

jmac Hi folks... I'd like to experimentally implement webmention-receiving, but I have a conceptual disconnect between the very simple source/target/verify W3 protocol, and the super-rich content that e.g. webmention.io provides with its API. Where does all that data *come* from? Like, how does it know the user-picture associated with the source URL, out of all the other stuff that might be found there?
#
GWG jmac, it parses the source URL
JasonO and yar joined the channel
#
jmac Yeah, but that's gonna be a full HTML page that could contain literally anything, right? Including any number of <img> tags? How does it know which one is the author's userpic?
#
GWG jmac: We use microformats2
#
GWG So, the other person needs to mark up their page with them.
#
KartikPrabhu what is authorship?
#
Loqi authorship is how to determine who the author(s) of a post are https://indieweb.org/authorship
#
KartikPrabhu jmac: ^
#
jmac Aha
#
jmac Would I guess correctly that part of the service that Bridgy provides, then, is wrapping microformats magic around posts from silos?
#
sknebel yep
#
jmac niccce
#
snarfed jmac: although if that's all you want, try https://granary.io/ instead
#
snarfed (ah nm, i see the logs now)
#
jmac np, I didn't know about this either, thanks!
#
jmac For several weeks now I have been using bridgy + webmentions.io to have silo-mentions of my blog quietly pile up in an unlit closet behind the copy machine. Still learning how all this stuff is meant to fit together, and hope to get something visibly working on my own site this month.

Loqi jmac has 1 karma
#
jmac One super-high-level summary of the whole of the IndieWeb philosophy is basically "Everyone publishes to their own domains, using services smart enough to talk to other self-publishing domains". Right?
#
KartikPrabhu jmac: no need for "Services" using common "protocols" like microformats and webmention sites can directly talk to each other
#
KartikPrabhu services like bridgy exist to translate between silos like twitter and microformats/webemention
