#
GWG Will update when I get somewhere

#
[manton] This is not normal for Austin. Especially in early December! Pretty incredible. (Most years it doesn't snow at all.)
#
GWG Manton, I just seem to have this sort of luck
#
GWG My last trip I ended up in a hurricane. The first hurricane in Ireland in 3 years... since my last vacation that took me there.
#
GWG Manton, anything planned for tomorrow night for early arrivals?
#
GWG That is, assuming I ever get off the plane
#
GWG And out of the airport
#
[manton] Sorry to hear about the delays! No plans for tomorrow yet... I'm actually busy in the evening, but might be around after dinner if folks want to meet up.

[dshanske] IRC went down. Finally just got to the terminal
#
[dshanske] manton, I defer to the others. Just figured those of us who arrived might want to share company
#
tantek hey what did I say we did yesterday?
#
tantek (earlier in IRC I think)
#
tantek for today on https://indieweb.org/2017-12-indieweb-challenge I nominate this timely "how to" on exporting your data from AIM: https://gregorlove.com/2017/12/aol-instant-messenger-is-being/
#
tantek oh yeah IWC Baltimore announced
#
tantek or at least made official on the wiki
#
tantek what is Oath
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Oath" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Oath is ____", a sentence describing the term)

Zegnat aaronpk, Loqi isn’t +o, so probably can’t +v people right now in any of our channels.
Zegnat joined the channel; Zegnat left the channel

#
tantek hey is there a FB POSSE copy of IWC Austin to invite people to?
[manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] I don't think there is, unless there's an IndieWeb account that created one?
#
tantek [manton] we should add you as an admin to the indieweb page so you can do that too
#
[manton] Cool, happy to help with that. I don't use Facebook very often so didn't create an event, but wish I had.
#
tantek I can also go ahead and create one (even if it's last minute)
#
tantek ok great thank you [manton]!
#
tantek I'm hurrying here with packing and such (going to in Austin til the 16th)
#
[manton] Even last minute is probably worth it. I've still been trying to spread the word this week to get some more sign-ups.
#
tantek agreed
[cleverdevil] joined the channel
#
[cleverdevil] Wish I could be there, but I've been traveling like crazy and its time for a break 😛
#
tantek is so behind on everything this week, just wrapped up the @W3CAB meeting yesterday which I was hosting @MozSF and took up so much of my time this week
#
[cleverdevil] Taking the family to Disney World just before Christmas, and that'll be my last trip of the year.
#
[manton] Nice! Disney around the holidays is fun.
#
tantek yeah that'll be good - they really up the decorations for that
#
[cleverdevil] I'll have a 10 day vacation, and I'm hoping to actually get some IndieWeb work done.
#
[cleverdevil] Debating what to work on 🙂
#
[cleverdevil] Considering implementing XMLRPC->Micropub in silo.pub.
#
[manton] Cool. Related, I forwarded a few comments here to Daniel about potential Micropub support in MarsEdit. Maybe as part of the silo.pub work we can draft a Micropub extension for the equivalent of XML-RPC's metaWeblog.getRecentPosts.
#
tantek yes that needs to happen
#
aaronpk That sounds like a fun weekend project :-)
#
tantek what is an app quit
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "app quit" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "app quit is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
tantek hmm
#
tantek thinking of http://boffosocko.com/2017/12/07/i-just-deleted-twitter-off-of-my-phone/
#
Loqi [Chris Aldrich] It’s not the bigger Twitter quit I’ve been debating for a while, but I’ve just taken the intermediate step of removing the Twitter app and its notifications from my phone. I’m going to be using a handful of feed readers to more purposefully c...

tantek back to #indieweb with that one

aaronpk ✈️
#
aaronpk see you soon Austin
#
[manton] Have a good flight!
#
tantek [manton] added you for https://www.facebook.com/indiewebcamp admin - I think you have to accept
#
tantek interesting that it let me do that without being FB friends (yet lol)
gRegorLove joined the channel
#
[manton] Thanks, I accepted it. I sign in to FB so rarely now that I have a queue of friend requests too. 🙂
#
[manton] I'll create the event now.
#
tantek awesome! thanks
#
tantek I'll try to invite all the Mozilla people I know who are either already in Austin or are going to be soon
#
tantek maybe I'll look up some old school SXSW Austin contacts too!
#
tantek is Bruce Sterling still around?
#
tantek also
#
tantek [manton]++ for "sign in to FB so rarely now"
#
Loqi manton has 1 karma in this channel (31 overall)
#
tantek and apologies for distracting you that way :)
#
[manton] Not at all, this is good... I wish we had done it sooner.
#
[manton] I've never created an FB event before. 🙂 Lemme know if this looks okay or if you have changes: https://www.facebook.com/events/151624978794503/
#
tantek Looks great!
#
tantek and you got the multiday thing working too! I haven't seen that before for an IndieWebCamp
#
tantek makes me wonder about adding that feature for indie events
#
tantek FB events let you designate multiple instances and you can RSVP to individual instances in addition to RSVP to the event as a whole
#
tantek though it looks like it is only letting me say "Interested" to the whole thing - my only "Going" options are to the individual dates Dec 9 and Dec 10
#
[manton] Ah, maybe splitting it up that way isn't good then... When I had entered the end date of Sunday, it offered whether to make it a 2-day "daily" event, so I chose that. We can probably change it back.
#
tantek go ahead and change it back yeah, I screenshotted it for documentation purposes already
#
tantek maybe I'll document the "daily" event UI when I get to IWC
#
[manton] FB doesn't seem to let me make it span more than 1 day without it introducing those separate RSVPs for each day. Hmm.
#
[manton] I just set it for Saturday for now.
#
[manton] Maybe because it's stuck as a recurring event.
#
tantek oh maybe the event must be recreated?
#
tantek interesting limitation that you can't edit after the fact
#
[manton] I tried to reproduce this... The error message that led down this path was: "Your event lasts more than 24 hours. Select Daily, Weekly or Custom for a recurring event."
#
[manton] The FB UI seems slightly different if I create an event from my personal account and not IWC.
#
[manton] tantek If you haven't shared the event yet, I'm going to recreate it.
#
[manton] Okay, here's the new URL: https://www.facebook.com/events/134934643858347/
#
tantek great
#
tantek got some good notification screenshot captures from that as well
