I believe kevinmarks created it originally. I just never want to give it up.
#
tantek
schmarty, thanks for never letting us down
#
tantek
ok time to post HWC for 2017-10-04, let's see if I can unwind this stack
#
tantek
no Oct HWC wiki pages yet, so I'll take a first cut
#
schmarty
tantek++ for tackling the HWC event pages even as they grow out of control, Tetsuo-like

schmarty - is there a copy of the image on IW wiki?
#
tantek
thinking of using it for the header / featured image
#
schmarty
I don't believe I have uploaded one. It's possible it is in /hwc somewhere under how to advertise
#
schmarty
Same. I'm on mobile about to head to bed. Feel free to upload that file to the wiki!

(just over 10 years after organizing the first BarCamp Istanbul FYI)
#
tantek
thanks kevinmarks. ah too bad it requires JS to work - those image choices could have been cleverly styled radio buttons!
#
sknebel
first Indiewebcamp on the asian continent?
#
tantek
fun << https://m.photofunia.com/effects/retro-wave for that 1980s / new wave look like the Homebrew Website Club header image on some events
#
Loqi
ok, I added "https://m.photofunia.com/effects/retro-wave for that 1980s / new wave look like the Homebrew Website Club header image on some events" to the "See Also" section of /lulz
#
tantek
sknebel: I don't know which side of Istanbul it is on
#
sknebel
oh, I typed it into google maps wrong. so no, it's on the western side
#
tantek
last chance for any off-cycle HWC this week to be announced @Mozilla weekly project meeting!

just registered for TPAC 2017
#
tantek
lol of course paying for it is js;dr
#
tantek
I remember when paying for stuff on the web didn't require JS
#
tantek
allo shopmitprd.mit.edu? sure, sounds legit
#
aaronpk
at least it's mit.edu still
#
aaronpk
i'm always super nervous when i go to pay my water bill and i'm redirected to something like cloud invoice .com
#
tantek
= giant target
#
tantek
you know, like Equifax
#
aaronpk
maybe not quite that big ?
#
tantek
ugh, which reminds me, there's way too much out there that's now less secure due to the Equifax ownage
#
tantek
gah, I have to do another account audit
#
tantek
and they had one of those "I'm not a robot" things where you help someone's image recognition algorithm
#
aaronpk
"I'm not a robot, but I feel like a monkey"
#
tantek
aaronpk - now it's redirecting to cybersource(.)com for actual payment
#
tantek
sheesh that doesn't sound sketch at all
#
tantek
is tempted to dream up new cyber* names
#
aaronpk
wow there's a name i haven't heard in a while
#
tantek
*domainnames
#
tantek
ok this is neat - I *was* able to pay w/o JS using cybersource
#
tantek
cybersource++
#
Loqi
cybersource has 1 karma
#
tantek
ah but their "Print" and "Return to Website" buttons don't work. so close Cybersource - those should have been simple links.
#
GWG
tantek, I did. Makes me realize something
#
tantek
scrolls for context
#
GWG
Homepage mention
#
tantek
oh awesome!!!
#
GWG
It doesn't show on the homepage, instead on /about
#
tantek
checks
#
GWG
So, I need to figure out how it should show on the homepage
#
tantek
interesting - I don't see all the references on twitter
#
Loqi
[@anomalily] Just demoed my newly pretty check-ins on http://anomalily.net, which I implemented at #indieweb thanks to @schnarfed @dshanske + @aaronpk
#
tantek
(via Bridgy presumably)
#
Loqi
[@Kraft] @dshanske Props on https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/40981 finally landing. Comment meta users rejoice!
#
tantek
so that's curious
#
tantek
did you only recently (July? after IWS?) connect via Bridgy to your Twitter?
#
tantek
or perhaps only started handling homepage webmentions around then
#
GWG
No, but I think that I submitted the PR for homepage mentions to pfefferle in June before IWS
#
GWG
I seem to recall forgetting to enable the feature on my site till the Summit
#
tantek
a-ha that may explain it - only showing homepage mentions since the summit
#
tantek
presumably previous to that they got dropped
#
GWG
Yes.
#
GWG
But I need a widget or something to display them
#
tantek
GWG, speaking of such "widgets" I'd be interested in your opinions on these widgets:
#
GWG
Yes?
#
tantek
part of the point being, despite these being specifically for the indieweb community site home page, I think many of these "widgets" (I called them live modules there) could apply to any indieweb site
#
tantek
(on this day is already well documented)
#
GWG
Yes. New users?
#
tantek
oh yeah forgot that one
