Chris Messina yeah, it does that the first time — as there’s no benefit to anyone apart from the site owner logging in yet, I haven’t fixed it. People keep thinking they can comment if they sign in, I’m not sure whether to allow it or reinforce that people shouldn't (I don't want to host other people's thoughts any more than I want to host my own thoughts elsewhere!).

.@chrismessina briefly: I agree that, whilst I have a fair number of apps installed, very few of them get regular use. Interestingly IME there is little/no correlation between cost of app and frequency of use (my most expensive apps are music creation ones which get used rarely compared to, e.g. tweetbot, mail or safari).

I also like some of @scottjenson’s thinking around JIT interactions. Certainly that approach has applications outside the #iot.

This evening’s hacking is based around parsing and importing my #iOS diagnostic data — should be interesting to see if I can find any behavioural patterns.

(btw, I refuse to sign in to branch with twitter so they can send a tweet for me so you can let me write on your branch. Just… no :)

Shane Becker yeah, where are all these #ruby apps consuming µf2?! My fairly complete #php µf2 parser has had 55 installs so far, probably mainly me updating it :)

.Erin Richey my reasoning is that tags are something you add to content, whereas categories are something you put content into. Tags -> content -> categories — so categories are higher up in the pecking order.

Erin Richey well, that’s the sane, eloquent, rational way of putting it :)

.Evan Prodromou “10 reasons reptiles should grow feathers”

@evanpro these are sounding a little like @wikihowTXT’s tweets

aral hideous. That makes me more embarrassed to be a PHP dev than all the bad rep it has as a language. And they're teaching SVN! It gets worse :(

veganstraightedge we really should have done one at IWC UK 2012 — or perhaps stick the ones @t took into a panorama ;)

jack_way cheers, I thought it might be too generic but looks like it’s the best choice.

sophiedennis that’s Feb 16th, the one in March is in the afternoon, details here

@sophiedennis it’s at St Mary's Church, Totnes, 11:00 till 12:00 noon, tickets £5 on the door. It'd be great to see you (and @andycayenne?) there! #buzz #music

superfeedr self-hosted comments accepted via Pingback :)

I tend to prefer to let users inject buttons/UI for the services they use rather than force buttons upon them (e.g. using Indieweb Reply as per Web Actions), but looks like #subToMe already does a good job of that so I might add one

superfeedr yeah, there’s a weird bug where logging in only works the second time round — I haven’t fixed it yet as I rarely have to log in! At the mo there is little benefit to others logging in but I may add private content/collaborative features in the future. Crowd-sourced typo fixing FTW ;)

@aral that would certainly be more consistent with the naming schemes @aaronpk, Tantek Çelik and myself are using, which we borrowed from the activitystrea.ms schema.

It's great that you're self–hosting shorter units of content as well as longer articles now! Maybe tweets next? ;)

Hey Christopher,

I have some questions.

Firstly, who are you? Have you worked on any social-web related projects before? Do you own your identity on the web (i.e. have a personal URL)? Do you post content under your own domain? Do you actively encrypt many of your communications?

If not, with what authority/experience/motive are you proposing a “standardized standard” for social data? If you have not put effort into building and using your identity on the web, why should any of us who have care about your proposal, as it is unlikely to be relevant to the actual problems faced by people trying to implement this stuff?

Secondly, why is your wiki username socml? Making your username the name of the thing you’re proposing strikes me as odd, if not slightly arrogant.

Thirdly, have you heard of activitystrea.ms? Judging by your admission that you “have not searched the web

Glenn Jones I can highly recommend kangoextensions.com as an open source framework for cross-browser extensions. I’m using it for indieweb reply and own-your-comments

@thatemil RRRR yes, ambiguous date formats are so stupid, especially when they’re on tickets (british rail, I’m looking at you)
