[chee] what do people do for pictures that aren't "photo", like illustrations and other visual artworks? lmk if this is the wrong channel for this question
#
doosboox [chee]: "do" in what sense?
#
[chee] oh, sorry. I mean: the kind of post, microformats
#
doosboox hasn't gotten into the microformats yet
#
Loqi Microformats... I don't mean to be a bother, but can you take this conversation to #indieweb-dev?
#
[chee] yes, np
#
doosboox I don't know if Loqi is a person, a bot, or both

[chee] i think they are a robot, but their avatar on slack is a friendly little dinosaur so i will obey them

doosboox Oh! Homebrew Website Club meeting tonight! I wonder if maybe I can make it. Haven't been to any so far
[dianoetic_net] joined the channel
#
doosboox I think the IndieWeb CoC is superb, btw

#
petermolnar Had anyone here thought about printing their website into a "book"? I've been considering making a printed copy of my longer entries and my photos, but it poses quite a lof of challenge.
#
sknebel hm, interesting
#
sknebel not my blog, but I think a project a family member worked on was something like that
#
sknebel challenge in what way? selection? how to do it technically?
gxt joined the channel
#
petermolnar multiple levels: print CSS where the images don't take up all the space, and they look nice; double sided booklet printing or getting A5 paper; deciding on font that is decently readable for the long term and has a printable unicode support, etc.
#
[dianoetic_net] What is CoC?
#
Loqi IndieWeb code of conduct tl;dr: Be respectful of other people, respectfully ask people to stop if you are bothered, and if you can't resolve an issue, contact staff. If you are being a problem, it will be apparent and you'll be asked to leave https://indieweb.org/CoC
#
[dianoetic_net] [petermolnar_] I think shops like Leanpub can do that but I don’t know firsthand
#
petermolnar I don't think that is what I'm after, but thank you :)
#
[dianoetic_net] Once I follow the steps here, how do I add feeds that I want to read? https://indieweb.org/Microsub#Getting_Started
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] you add them at https://aperture.p3k.io/dashboard - it's hidden in the menu on the aperture home page
#
sknebel through your microsub client, usually

#
doosboox I’m gonna try to make the London/EU homebrew website club meetup tonight, but I might be busy getting my kids to bed. Is it okay to listen in and be muted, or is that frowned uppn?

[KevinMarks] What is cite?
#
Loqi A citation is a reference to something (a way to look up what) someone said, wrote, or photographed/captured, typically a published work of some kind, these days often on the web https://indieweb.org/cite

doosboox [Ana_Rodrigues]: Hey, Björn here :)
#
doosboox Does the IRC-Slack bridge handle direct messages?
#
aaronpk it does not
#
doosboox duly noted :) Good thing I asked
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] Hi Björn!
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] You can share here or maybe in the dev channel my bug. I have no shame :D
#
doosboox :D
#
doosboox If you check the source https://ohhelloana.blog/ you'll find the errant </img> on line 58, in the /assets/header.png img tag
#
Loqi Ana Rodrigues
KempfCreative and kensp joined the channel
#
doosboox I guess it's an error because img tags have no content; only attributes. They're self-enclosed. I usually write them as <img ... />, because I've learned that strict validation demands that from self-enclosing tags like <br/> and similar. I'm not sure if it's correct to do that for img tags, tbh
#
doosboox <img ... > works perfectly fine
#
doosboox [Ana_Rodrigues]: oh! I mean line *68*, not 58
#
doosboox Where's that etherpad that all the meetup notes went into, btw?
#

doosboox petermolnar: ty!
#
[KevinMarks] I was spending the writing hour fixing that podcast feed and it took long enough that I missed the meeting
