clementcomposer Hey all. I'm a composer based in Seattle. I want my online presence to be based on my own site that I design and control instead of social media, so POSSE and the IndieWeb philosophy feel right to me. I'm completely overwhelmed, though.

#
neatnik clementcomposer[d] have you looked into any CMSes at this point, or are you still exploring?
#
clementcomposer neatnik[d]: I got to the CMS part of the Getting Started and was like 'I need to join the Discord to get help with this'
#
neatnik Heh. There are so many options out there! It’s totally normal to try a zillion things before you find one that feels right

ChrisFu Jumped on just to say, I'm sitting here in a daze after work, "doom clicking" across the indieweb, not really thinking about or doing anything. Clicked on "[tantek]" -> Saw your tip to run a linkchecker. Thought, "why not."
#
ChrisFu error Line: 19 https://webmention.io/chris.funderburg.me/webmenion Status: 404 Not Found
#
ChrisFu OMGs, spot the spelling mistake! How long's that been broken?!?!? :-D
#
[tantek] 😂
#
ChrisFu So - thanks!
#
Loqi ChrisFu has 1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] Your welcome. And welcome ChrisFu++
#
[tantek] You're* welcome (can't blame autocorrect on that one)
#
[tantek] And no that wasn't a deliberate typo mistake to express sympathy for a typo mistake. That would have been funnier and far more clever.

vikanezrimaya to2ds: this is why I try to place these things as constants in the code... unless I forget to, of course.

#
doesnm i do not fully understand about rsvp
#
pcarrier doesm: to2ds mispelled it rvsp in code, I joked that it's easy to get "répondez s'il vous plaît" (what it stands for) right
#
gRegor what is rsvp?
#
Loqi https://indieweb.org/RSVP
#
gRegor oops, will fix that
#
gRegor what is rsvp?
#
Loqi https://indieweb.org/rsvp
#
pcarrier (_historically_ RSVP is the initialism used to request that its recipient confirm whether they'll be present or not, not the response itself, but words change, particularly when they cross language boundaries…)
#
gRegor Fixed. That page has how-to and other details. Feel free to ask questions.
#
pcarrier gRegor: what did you change? capitalization? I think uppercase is right?
#
gRegor Neither, fixed the summary
#
gRegor what is rsvp
#
Loqi An RSVP is a reply to an event that says whether the sender is attending, is not attending, might attend, or is merely interested https://indieweb.org/RSVP
#
gRegor So Loqi does that now. There's redirects for the different capitalization

#
[tantek] what is rvsp?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "rvsp" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "rvsp is ____", a sentence describing the term)

clementcomposer Are there other professional / career musicians in this space with sites I can take a look at?
#
[mattl]2 what is personal manual?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "personal manual" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "personal manual is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] [mattl] is that a manual you use personally or a manual for using you personally?
#
[mattl]2 [tantek] I saw https://www.andycarolan.com/usermanual earlier and they describe it as a personal manual. It's a nice idea.

#
aaronpk like an expanded version of the personal communication protocol idea
#
aaronpk we should have a page to collect these
#
Loqi definitely
#
aaronpk http://ttk.me/w/CommunicationProtocols
#
aaronpk https://aaronparecki.com/communication-protocols/
#
Loqi hey aaronpk: we try to keep jargon (protocol, protocols) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
aaronpk different kind of protocol Loqi
#
aaronpk oops gotta update mine to remove twitter
#
[mattl]2 you're... still on Myspace?

gRegor what is communication protocol
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "communication protocol" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "communication protocol is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor what is communication preferences
#
Loqi communication-preferences is a page (sometimes called communication protocols) on some personal sites or wikis which describe how people want to be contacted, and also methods of communication to avoid https://indieweb.org/communication-preferences
#
gRegor communication protocol is /communication-preferences
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] lol
#
[tantek] [mattl] looks like an about page, expanded a bit, yes with personal Comm Protocols added
