Trying to scrape AIM names from AIM.com via javascript, but it only gets the part of the list visible on the screen.

So if I zoom way out, I can get 85 at a time, haha

this looks interesting for static sites hosted on GitHub to be able to trigger a build or something to get webmentions https://github.com/probot/scheduler

If you're going to use circles, why a square grid?

eddie Yup you probably just need to run `yarn install` first

oh holy crap my app was approved

now you too can automatically set the timezone and geotag things on your website!
#
jeremycherfas
I'm so torn about geolocating myself. I find it fascinating, but also boring to others, possibly.
#
aaronpk
it's not about other people, it's about you!
#
aaronpk
i like my subtle use of it where it just makes the timezones of all my posts correct
#
aaronpk
and the city name shows up on my posts as well, which isn't "boring" to others necessarily cause it's easy to ignore if you don't care
#
[miklb]
I need something like that, but just for my house. Except most would just say “couch”
#
aaronpk
hah reverse engineered the link since it's not showing up in search yet

jeremycherfas
That's true. It is me I'm geolocating. I have other things to scratch first.

grantcodes: ohhh! That makes sense. I’ll try that ?

aaronpk: I know you have a hosted compass server. Is it easy to export from? I’m trying to decide if I want to go through trying to get Compass installed now or just start by using the hosted version and then migrating (if that’s possible and not a headache).
#
[eddie]
If that’s not possible or hard to do than I should just do the self install
#
aaronpk
there is no built-in export tool, but it just saves files on disk
#
[eddie]
Gotcha. So self install then ?
#
aaronpk
it should be easy to install
#
aaronpk
i'm not really intending to run a public install of it either
#
aaronpk
i should probably actually block signups
#
Loqi
totally
#
[eddie]
Haha yeah probably. I wondered at one point so I tried to login and when it let me I figured it was public intended
#
Loqi
hehe
#
aaronpk
i was thinking about building a different backend for it that i actually would run for people who download the app. instead of storing everything it would just store a little bit of info like the last known location and maybe a log of what city you're in
#
[eddie]
Ohhh interesting. That would be a good way to allow “easy getting started” and then if they wanted to do more they could build their own backend
#
aaronpk
yeah i don't mind hosting that little data, i just don't want to host gigs of data for peoplee
#
aaronpk
my logs are up to 3 gigs for the last couple years, which isn't a ton, but still
#
[eddie]
Haha yeah that could go badly in multiple ways. File space and people might feel like they hold you accountable for the data which could be sticky
#
[eddie]
Where as “last location” and simple data like that isn’t bad

aaronpk
yeah i kinda wanna do it Fire Eagle style

[eddie]
Oh cool! Yeah, I had never heard of Fire Eagle but seems pretty cool

PHP is now installed and configured with my nginx server. Woowoo! ?
#
aaronpk
nice! hope that wasn't too painful
#
[eddie]
I haven't touched PHP in literally over 6 years. lol
#
aaronpk
it's a lot better now :)
#
[eddie]
Yeah it seems like it ?
#
[eddie]
I actually did half of it on my phone. haha
#
Loqi
ahahahaha
#
[eddie]
I’m gonna end up leaving before I get it fully installed. As long as I switch the send interval to off, it’ll just queue the gps so that when I get home I can turn it on and it’ll upload them all, from the way I understand it?
#
sebsel
Also: when it doesn't get 'ok' from your server, it will keep the data :)
#
[eddie]
Ahhh good to know ?
