GWG Hello, jeremyzilar

#
[chrisaldrich] GWG: Sorry I had to bounce after I saw you online yesterday evening/morning.
#
[chrisaldrich] I just noticed that Brid.gy is sending Twitter location data in webmentions: http://boffosocko.com/2017/10/22/set-up-files-for-the-book/#comment-37431
#
GWG Hmm... didn't know that. And Simple Location can display it
#
[chrisaldrich] When did that manage to sneak in? Or has it been there a while and I just haven't been getting mentions from people who uncover the data?
#
[chrisaldrich] At least that's what I'm guessing is happening....
#
GWG Not sure. It took a combination of things
#
GWG I taught Semantic Linkbacks to store location data around the Indieweb Summit and taught Simple Location to display it in a comment around the same time.
#
[chrisaldrich] I suspect brid.gy would have to send the data and then webmentions/semantic linkbacks would have to parse and display it.
#
GWG I am not sure when Bridgy started sending it, but I know, as I said, when I taught the plugins how to receive it
#
[chrisaldrich] I do note that in that particular case and another comment just above it link to google maps, but don't actually resolve to a particular map location
#
GWG This is the first case of me seeing it in the wild.
#
[chrisaldrich] I have to say it's pretty cool to have location data on comments that way....
#
GWG Then it might only be sending a name
#
GWG And people didn't get why I added support for comments and users
#
GWG You add in fixing timezones from Micropub, and I am happy
#
[chrisaldrich] I've got some meetings this afternoon and then math class tonight, so I can't wait to get back to dig into the database to see what it got and figure out some display details, including adding some custom CSS to fit it in to the theme better.
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG, you are using ownyourswarm on your site now right?
#
GWG chrisaldrich, working on a major refactoring of Post Kinds which should include check-in display fixes for that reason
#
GWG chrisaldrich, there are functions you can call directly
#
GWG But testing Micropub stuff prompted this
#
GWG You made my night though
#
GWG On that note, it is nearly 11pm in Killorglin and I have to catch a flight in Farranfore at 7:30
#
GWG Until next time
#
[chrisaldrich] Safe travels
#
[chrisaldrich] It's always fun to see these little Easter egg functionalities you throw in...
#
[chrisaldrich] should be reading more code to catch them though...
