[tantek]: woof, long day. i have: the lobby signs, large-ish sticky notes (lined, unfortunately) and a couple of sharpies, a streaming rig and my podcasting gear. i'll be bringing all that as well as picking up some fruit and bagels + shmear in the morning.
#
schmarty
[tantek]: i'll aim to arrive at the venue at 9am, if that works for you.

#
schmarty
i forgot to get a picture of the sign in the lobby. if you get a chance, can you snap it and make a "we're open" post?

[aaronpk] event_utc_offset = 13:00
#
tantek
that broke it?
#
tantek
darn I was trying to be precise
#
aaronpk
yeah cause it gets turned into "2017-09-26T18:0013:00" when parsed
#
aaronpk
should be "2017-09-26T18:00+13:00"
#
tantek
oops so the template for that was never tested
#
tantek
sorry, my bad for not double-checking the parsed mf2
#
tantek
can we file a bug or disable the property or at least remove it from the copy/pasta so it doesn't happen again
#
aaronpk
it's not a bug with the template
#
aaronpk
just needed to type event_utc_offset = +13:00 instead of event_utc_offset = 13:00
#
tantek
ohhhhh
#
tantek

hooboy adding caption timings is a tedious process
#
sebsel
did an attempt to add Dutch subtitles but it wasn't allowed
#
Loqi
sebsel: tantek left you a message 1 week, 5 days ago: re: Dortmund - sounds like a good topic for vHWC this week!
#
sebsel
better not at this time anyway :)
#
aaronpk
wasn't allowed?
#
sebsel
oh! old messages.
#
aaronpk
oh "community contributions"
#
aaronpk
try now :)
#
sebsel
yes, that one!
#
sebsel
works! or at least: i can work on it
#
sebsel
Dutch is not really the most useful language to subtitle it in, but it can be a step.
#
sebsel
adds to todo
#
schmarty
woah, nice, aaronpk!
#
aaronpk
that one is maybe not the best one to add subtitles to. probably one of tantek's that has more views is better
#
aaronpk
but i was experimenting with their auto-timing thing

sebsel
oh, yeah, couldn't resist me.
#
sebsel
Dutch translation has been submitted.
#
sebsel
Maybe I should make original Dutch content too :) thinking about preparing a talk and touring tech meetups. Need to practice my presentation skillz first though.
#
aaronpk
whoa google translate translates your dutch translation back to english for me
#
aaronpk
i guess so i can verify you aren't submitting a totally fake translation
#
sebsel
I've taken some liberty here and there.
#
sebsel
People who need the subtitles would want that, I thought :P
#
sebsel
I used google translate as a base too. But it still does weird things, after all these years.
#
sebsel
Translation is hard. Language is hard.
#
aaronpk
this is very cool
#
sebsel
tantek's 'The once and future IndieWeb' is not open for translations, and I don't think we control the channel?
#
aaronpk
ooh darn
#
sebsel
own your talks :P
clintpatty and [kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
sebsel
Nice! It looks like what I had to translate it :)
#
aaronpk
oh wow youtube can use google translate to auto translate them as well
#
sebsel
yeah, and that works better if you edit your subtitles a bit, i think
#
aaronpk
yeah probably works better if I make sure there are full phrases on the screen at a time instead of trailing words
#
sebsel
well, nice experiment so far! time to go now, good night :)
#
aaronpk
oh that's why this german translation seemed oddly good. it was translating from your dutch to german
#
[kevinmarks]
Does it pick what it thinks is the closest language?
#
aaronpk
no it's cause i was looking at the dutch subtitles when i chose german

!tell gwg: would you mind bringing your USB boundary mic tomorrow? i used my zoom for audio today but would like to have it available for recording some interviews tomorrow.

Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
