Zegnat Good morning IndieWeb
[Tom_Morris] joined the channel
#
[Tom_Morris] hello lovely indieweb people. after being offline for a very long time, my personal site is back up… as a static site. I can’t promise I’m going to post lots on it, for various personal reasons, but it is no longer 500-ing, so that’s a plus.
#
[Tom_Morris] I also sent a PR to the author of the Hugo theme I’m using to add rel-me links and it got approved. https://github.com/htr3n/hyde-hyde/pull/38
#
Loqi [tommorris] #38 Adds XFN rel-me links

#
Zegnat [Tom_Morris], welcome back, if that is the right sentiment!
#
Zegnat Looks like the PR was already accepted, nice :D

#
Zegnat [Tom_Morris]++ for the sentence “DevOps is one thing, but BlogOps? I refuse.”
#
Loqi [Tom_Morris] has 1 karma over the last year
#
Zegnat Hmm.
#
Zegnat !karma tommorris
#
Loqi tommorris has 0 karma in this channel over the last year (1 in all channels)
#
[Tom_Morris] Yeah, I didn’t want to get set up on IRC again, and I’m socially mandated to use Slack.
#
[Tom_Morris] Thanks for the welcome back @Zegnat. Was it Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett who said writing is 90% not getting distracted by the internet. s/writing/life/g 🙂
#
Zegnat Not sure. But I bet it was a problem for Adams, as I recall he was a huge nerd. (Didn’t Stephen Fry talk about taking his Apple computer under the arm to visit Adams as they were two of the first UK Apple users?)
#
[kevinmarks] Adams really enjoyed writing with other people, but couldn't do that for his novels and so stressed himself out all the time.
#
[Tom_Morris] I know his editor locked him in hotel rooms for days on end to force him to write the fourth book of HHGG.
seekr and oadaeh joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] He wrote the radio show with John Lloyd to help him finish it, but went solo on the novels.
#
[kevinmarks] I am thinking of Hugo munging my site, but I haven't looked at netlify
#
[Tom_Morris] netlify is handy because it is basically github pages but you can get it to work with https
#
[Tom_Morris] it has let’s encrypt baked in.
#
Zegnat GitHub Pages does HTTPS now too, if I am not wrong? Though this sounds like a discussion for the dev channel :)
#
[Tom_Morris] ah yeah, the other things you can do on netlify that I like is redirects: you can create a simple plain text file with redirects in

#
[Tom_Morris] one important thing I think that we could do re. static site generators like jekyll and hugo is make a listing on the wiki of which popular community-supported themes support h-entry, rel-me and other microformats/indieweb building blocks. hey, they should probably be on the uf wiki too
#
[Tom_Morris] at some point, I’ll probably fork and make PRs on some of them to add h-entry, h-card and rel-me
[jgmac1106] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] [Tom_Morris] there is talk (see /Leaders page) of rethinking the wiki navigation around three pathways, one of which would be a SSG how-to guide

@jgmac1106 ↩️ #hedigid That is why I use an #IndieWeb approach. I can tweet, toot, or @microdotblog from my own domain. I don’t want a new #socialmedia silo. Even if open and federated.

#
tantek__ whoa [Tom_Morris] was in the house!
#
tantek__ agreed [Tom_Morris], we need to streamline the setup for SSGs with IndieWeb support. I think there was some progress in that with the default templates for at least one of them now including mf2
#
tantek__ !tell jgmac1106 SSG in particular was not really a focus of the three pathways proposal that I made on /Leaders for the home page.
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
jgmac1106 okay this is awesome: https://glitch.com/featured/this-week-on-glitch-week-37-2018/
#
Loqi jgmac1106: tantek__ left you a message 3 minutes ago: SSG in particular was not really a focus of the three pathways proposal that I made on /Leaders for the home page.
#
jgmac1106 I was grouping that into “build your own” path it was late when I was reading it..but I can envision it as just a new section and three nice icons with well though out wiki navigation but that is more -meta

tantek__ yes
