aaronpk
omg i did it
#
aaronpk
eep it's late
#
tantek
can you talk to your alexa now to do food posts?!?
#
GWG
Alexa, tell Teacup I drank too much coffee?
#
aaronpk
i can log in to grant alexa an access token to teacup
#
aaronpk
i had to build an oauth2 server into teacup first o.O
#
tantek
yikes
#
aaronpk
it's a clever way of doing it
#
aaronpk
at least they didn't make up their own thing
#
aaronpk
NOW i have it posting to my site
#
aaronpk
good thing i'm the only one who uses teacup. not gonna worry too much if it's not perfect.
#
GWG
aaronpk: I thought there were a few others?
#
aaronpk
apparently there are!
#
GWG
aaronpk: How many?
#
aaronpk
well technically 47 people have posted something to teacup
#
aaronpk
not sure how recently
#
aaronpk
wow 20 of those went to a micropub endpoint even
#
aaronpk
one even went to a tumblr blog via silo.pub
#
GWG
Who used it for more than one or two things?I know I tried it to see how it worked.
#
aaronpk
only me, indiewebcat and rhiaro are regular users
#
aaronpk
one person posted 7, a few posted 3, everyone else posted 1 or 2
#
GWG
I'm just not set up for ti
#
aaronpk
i don't expect many people to be interested
#
GWG
aaronpk: Not so sure. Calorie counting is popular
#
GWG
I still think Micropub needs a draft/private mode.
#
aaronpk
agreed
#
aaronpk
i'm about to try that out in quill actually
#
aaronpk
i finally added draft posts to my website
#
aaronpk
so now at least i can *have* draft posts, next step is making a micropub client set that property
#
GWG
aaronpk: If the property is adopted, I'd love to get it into wordpress-micropub
#
aaronpk
that'd be great
#
martymcguire[m]
woohoo! i kind of want to give alexa karma but i also don't want to give alexa karma.
#
tantek
seriously you spoke that to your Alexa?
#
Loqi
yay!
#
aaronpk
i did! i have a video i'm gonna include in the post too :)
#
martymcguire[m]
aaronpk++ for bending the internet of things to your will :}
#
Loqi
aaronpk has 22 karma in this channel (1169 overall)
#
GWG
aaronpk: What is the draft post property?
#
aaronpk
GWG: not sure yet. internally it's "p3k-status = draft"
#
aaronpk
oookay now that the alexa+teacup integration is launched i just have to blog about it now
#
tantek
even in time before CES
#

#indiewebofthings :P
#
GWG
At the price Dots are going for...
#
aaronpk
i wish my apartment was bigger so i could justify getting a Dot!
#
tantek
what is a Dot?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Dot" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
aaronpk
Dot is a smaller version of an Amazon [[Alexa]]

what is Alexa?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Alexa" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
aaronpk
i'm busy someone else go do that :P
#
tantek
yeah I asked that several times today :P
#
GWG
Alexa is the trigger word or name for the Amazon Echo service.

what is Amazon Echo?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "Amazon Echo" yet. Would you like to create it?
#
GWG
Amazon Echo is a voice interaction service and associated hardware devices.

#
martymcguire[m]
aww, no "Amazon Echo is a silo for voice interaction"?
#
GWG
martymcguire[m]: I'm stirring food.
#
GWG
I'll elaborate later. But if you want to beat me...
#
aaronpk
it actually isn't really a silo since it doesn't store any data...
#
aaronpk
i can't create things that live inside their service
#
martymcguire[m]
(sorry for the gripes. any listening device with a centralized service provider rather that local processing is probably going to creep me out.)
#
aaronpk
ah well that's a different story
#
martymcguire[m]
aaronpk: "silo" is the wrong word, i agree. however, i recoil at the idea that amazon (or google, or apple) wants to collect, store, and do who-knows-what with my utterances and their related internet traffic.
#
aaronpk
i don't know if it's completely justified, but I do trust amazon more than google to act in my best interested in this regard
#
martymcguire[m]
and i do believe that if the service becomes unprofitable to run that they will shut down the service without making it easy for someone to create an alternative
#
martymcguire[m]
leading to dead devices
#
aaronpk
yes, bricking devices is bad, but it's very different from losing content that I've created
#
GWG
I think they've sold too many.
#
martymcguire[m]
of the choice of apple/google/amazon i think i agree that amazon probably has the best consumer protection. then again, they made a phone with four user-facing cameras to track gaze...
#
martymcguire[m]
agreed. i think my gripes are tangential to indieweb principles. :}
#
GWG
martymcguire[m]: Is that like four cupholders?
#
martymcguire[m]
if those cupholders are reporting to Amazon about the beverages you put in them and how you drive, then I suppose so!
#
aaronpk
oh man this is gonna be a long post
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[Aaron Parecki] Day 14: Posting to my Website from Alexa #100DaysOfIndieWeb

"Of course, I can't risk posting fake data, so I had to open a beer."
#
aaronpk
of course
#
GWG
It could have been a glass of water."
#
aaronpk
i don't track water cause i drink too much of it :P

When is the Indieweb flash briefing for the Echo?
#
Loqi
what
#
GWG
Anyone know anything about this? https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-contexts/#legacy
#
aaronpk
GWG: i want to make an indieweb flash briefing so bad
#
aaronpk
but that requires generating a lot of content
#
GWG
aaronpk: You want me to read This Week in Indieweb in my 'announcer' voice?
#
Loqi
hehe
#
GWG
There was a Homebrew Website Club meeting on Wednesday, December 28th in Los Angeles, Nuremberg, Portland, and San Francisco....
#
GWG
aaronpk: Ever asked the Echo to sing you a song?
#
GWG
Hmm...how about this week in aaronpk?
#
aaronpk
i actually listen to the flash briefing quite frequently, and it annoys me when feeds update less often than daily!
#
aaronpk
and committing to daily indieweb updates is... a lot
#
GWG
Maybe we should aim lower.

interesting
#
petermolnar
oh, that was unexpected, complete system lockup
#
petermolnar
so, there should be a little start
#
petermolnar
with the url
#
petermolnar
I'll do a screenshot
#
petermolnar
interesting
#
petermolnar
it doesn't always work with sty=a
#
petermolnar
it seems to work with sty=r
#
petermolnar
( road vs aerial )
#
petermolnar
but it's pretty buggy
#
Zegnat
Ah, yeah, I did not get that :(
