hey :)
- [13:49:57] <drewinthehead>
been quiet in here the last couple of days
- [13:51:58] <pnhChris>
shhh
- [13:52:29] <pnhChris>
typing generates too much heat
- [13:52:33] <pnhChris>
:P
- [13:54:26] <McNulty>
yeah I checked the logs the other night and no-one said anything for a whole day
- [13:54:44] <drewinthehead>
maybe there's nothing left to say?
- [13:55:05] <pnhChris>
i can pimp my netnewswire scripts some more
- [13:55:21] <drewinthehead>
naa, we've seen them already. old news ;)
- [13:55:37] <drewinthehead>
have you had any feedback yet?
- [13:55:39] <McNulty>
I looked at them and they seemed cool but I don't have newswire.
- [13:56:47] <pnhChris>
i was hoping to get further along on some other stuff this weekend before work got heavy again, but not quite there
- [13:59:01] <McNulty>
Is anyone here involved in the Tails extension?
- [13:59:11] <tantek>
do you guys see anything on http://microformats.org/wiki/to-do that seems like something you could help out with?
- [13:59:20] <pnhChris>
i don't use firefox or flock
- [14:00:00] <pnhChris>
oo
- [14:00:07] <pnhChris>
i can check off one of my items
- [14:00:17] <pnhChris>
forgot i updated my list there
- [14:01:08] <McNulty>
pnhChris - you're doing Apple vCard stuff right - how are you handling IM details?
- [14:01:40] <pnhChris>
actually.. i just used technorati services for that NNW script
- [14:02:02] <mfbot>
[[to-do]] http://microformats.org/wiki?title=to-do&diff=0&oldid=7490 * ChrisCasciano * (+112) Chris Casciano -
- [14:02:10] <McNulty>
aah gotcha
- [14:03:12] <pnhChris>
for my hatom stuff i included hatom2atom.xsl
- [14:03:27] <pnhChris>
cause i didn't want to go out to another service for every refresh
- [14:03:39] <McNulty>
see I noticed the hCard spec says IM should be referenced by IM
- [14:03:59] <McNulty>
but Apple's Address Book, which has lots of IM fields, puts them in X-AIM etc. type fields
- [14:04:28] <McNulty>
ugh "the hCard spec says IM should be marked up as URLs with appropriate protocols"
- [14:05:17] <McNulty>
I think any Address Book specific app needs to do some sort of transform - I was thinking of writing a Safari script for hCard to dip my toe in the mF water
- [14:05:40] * McNulty hasn't looked at hAtom much yet
- [14:08:08] <tantek>
McNulty, perhaps you can help document the Address Book vCard implementation quirks on this page: http://microformats.org/wiki/vcard-implementations
- [14:08:27] <tantek>
X-AIM fields etc. are proprietary extensions to vCard and should be avoided
- [14:08:47] <tantek>
we need to attempt to use and encourage the most standards based way to use hCard/vCard as possible
- [14:09:03] <tantek>
and anything that is non-standard should be reported as a bug to the manufacturer(s)
- [14:09:31] <trovster>
<dd class="role title">Web Developer</dd> correct?
- [14:10:16] <McNulty>
tantek - OK but if I'm writing a tool specifically for Macs, 99% of users will be using Address Book so it might be worth taking into consideration.
- [14:11:08] <McNulty>
i.e. Maybe a preferences setting that's off by default, something like that
- [14:11:28] <McNulty>
'Convert IM details for Address Book'
- [14:14:25] <McNulty>
I'll update that page tonight when I'm back on my iBook - it seems to mainly be vCard->address book quirks, I'll document some of the reverse path quirks
- [14:14:58] <tantek>
yes, an optional preferences setting could be good that was something like [x] Add Proprietary Properties for Apple Address Book
- [14:15:07] <tantek>
awesome
- [14:15:15] <tantek>
documentation of quirks will hopefully help us move beyond them
- [14:15:45] <McNulty>
presumably the problem is that vCard doesn't have a real mechanism for handling these types of contacts
- [14:17:35] <tantek>
it doesn't have to
- [14:17:44] <tantek>
there are URL protocols that work for them
- [14:17:47] <tantek>
that's the beauty of URL
- [14:18:01] <tantek>
you don't have to invent new properties for each and every new way of contacting someone
- [14:18:04] <tantek>
you can just use new URLs
- [14:19:35] <McNulty>
Agreed, it's a shame most apps want URLs to be 'web pages'
- [14:20:21] <chucker_>
is there an example of how AIM/MSN/etc. could be implemented properly in a vCard?
- [14:20:35] <McNulty>
chucker - define 'properly'
- [14:20:42] <jibot>
Hwin is horseygurl, trying to go undercover.
- [14:21:01] <chucker_>
McNulty: properly := fulfilling tantek's desires :)
- [14:21:13] <McNulty>
I've got my IM details at http://ciaranmcnulty.com/contact as URLs
- [14:21:41] <McNulty>
but if you convert that to a vCard there's not many apps that can identify them as IM details.
- [14:22:16] <chucker_>
so we want Apple's Address Book to read aim:goim?screenname=<somename> and treat it as AIM contact info
- [14:22:53] <chucker_>
wonder if a third-party bundle could add that. <ponders>
- [14:23:29] <McNulty>
chucker_ - you could write something that munged vCards into Address Book-style vCards and then imported them
- [14:23:47] <McNulty>
tantek - Am I right in thinking that URLs can't have a 'type'?
- [14:24:13] <McNulty>
That seems to be the main limitation IMO because some people will have home/work IMs and so on
- [14:24:16] <chucker_>
yes, but that wouldn't help users who open a vCard like the one on your site. the user experience would be bad.
- [14:24:26] <McNulty>
oh yes very much so
- [14:24:52] <McNulty>
If you import that into AB, you get a load of 'website's
- [14:24:58] <chucker_>
yep, tried it
- [14:25:00] <McNulty>
admittedly clicking on them should then do something appropriate...
- [14:25:12] <chucker_>
perhaps the URL scheme could be expanded to allow for types while still maintaining compatibility with IM clients
- [14:25:15] <McNulty>
If you have the official clients installed and not for instance iChat :-/
- [14:25:28] <McNulty>
URL schemes already allow types as protocols
- [14:25:38] <McNulty>
It's just Apple have solved the problem a different way
- [14:25:48] <trovster>
McNulty: I've done class="url msn" or example.
- [14:26:00] <McNulty>
trovster - oh that's interesting
- [14:26:09] <chucker_>
what i mean is: how can something like aim:goim?screenname=foo be expanded to specify e.g. "home"?
- [14:26:39] <McNulty>
Maybe I should put my mailto: email address as a url too eh
- [14:27:14] <chucker_>
(FWIW, 'open aim:goim?screenname=foo' in Terminal does the expected thing; it's just that Address Book buggily prefixes 'http://' to an aim URL when it shouldn't)
- [14:27:31] <McNulty>
it opens iChat
- [14:27:32] <McNulty>
?
- [14:27:43] <McNulty>
That's quite good
- [14:28:01] <chucker_>
i don't have iChat associated with AIM URLs right now; it opens Adium, but it should work with iChat
- [14:28:45] <chucker_>
the ymsgr URL opens the official Yahoo Messenger client, with an IM window of you
- [14:28:58] <McNulty>
uh-huh
- [14:29:10] <McNulty>
didn't realise Adium could handle those protocols TBH
- [14:29:50] <chucker_>
Yahoo actually does the right thing and lets you specify the handler app in preferences; "When I click a Yahoo! Messenger link in my web browser, Open it with:", listing both Adium and Yahoo's client as options

i have lots of jigsaw pieces here - i may be able to put them together in the right order
- [21:07:08] <bewest>
hmm
- [21:07:12] <bewest>
:-)
- [21:07:29] <bewest>
given a list of uri's, return some json to represent them
- [21:07:56] <bewest>
I plan to put them on a map, and do other things
- [21:08:00] <bewest>
automatically create timelines
- [21:08:01] <bewest>
and maps
- [21:08:07] <bewest>
and different interactive interfaces
- [21:08:33] <bewest>
I have a website that automatically puts things on a map
- [21:08:48] <bewest>
so if there was a service that output that kind of json, it'd be good to go immediately
- [21:08:58] <drewinthehead>
ok, well i could do that with hCard for starters
- [21:09:01] <bewest>

drewinthehead: yeah, past two weekends I've spent trying to create dynamic user interfaces

where the UI deduces what kind of interactions are available based on the input data
- [21:14:32] <bewest>

tantek: the fish issue?
- [21:17:33] <bewest>
oh the interfaces?
- [21:17:34] <tantek>
like abstract bindings from particular rich data types to user interfaces
- [21:17:39] <bewest>
yeah
- [21:17:43] <bewest>
I'm very interested in it
- [21:18:05] <tantek>
this paper presentation I attended at ICWE2006 showed some work on that
- [21:18:15] <bewest>
I'm calling it "deduced visualizations of semantic markup using interactive interfaces"
- [21:18:38] <bewest>
starting with microformats 'cause it's easy

tantek, why is that one tag?
- [22:19:23] <KevinMarks>
to work around flickr's inability to do AND ?
- [22:19:39] <tantek>
no its a sort order thing, scroll-up Kevin
- [22:19:52] <tantek>
flickr drops punctuation from tags anyway
- [22:20:07] <tantek>
and spaces too
- [22:20:20] <tantek>
and casefolds to lowercase
- [22:20:33] <tantek>
so "Technology / Science" is normalized to .../tags/technologyscience/
- [22:20:49] <tantek>
seems to work quite well IMHO
- [22:21:03] <tantek>
(their tag normalization that is)
- [22:21:47] <bewest>
things work quite well when what they do aligns with what you expect
- [22:22:07] <bewest>
it's easy to expect "Technology / Science" normalizing to technologyscience
- [22:23:14] <tantek>
of course "1/2" normalizing to "12" is perhaps not as expected ;)
- [22:23:26] <bewest>
probably not
- [22:23:59] <bewest>
I'd actually expect it to normalize to technology_\/_science
- [22:24:03] <KevinMarks>
I mean 'rapidprototypingofwebapplicationscombiningdomainspecificlanguagesandmodeldrivendesign' is not really in the spirit of tags
- [22:24:25] * bewest is reminded he hasn't actually looked at it yet
- [22:24:49] <KevinMarks>
or indeed web 2.0 - it needs a new name like AJYLE or something
- [22:26:05] <bewest>
gah
- [22:27:22] <tantek>
I know, I was pushing the limits
- [22:27:47] <tantek>
though as a user that's kind of how I want metadata to work, just let me type in the chunks of info, and you (the machine) figure out which fields they're supposed to go in etc.
- [22:27:49] <KevinMarks>
if I say 'not 80%' will you slap me?
- [22:27:55] <bewest>
I think the limit broke and spilled its innards onthe sidewalk with that tag
- [22:29:06] <bewest>
tags should have been "rapid prototyping", "web applications", "model driven design"
- [22:29:11] <bewest>
maybe with "deductive interface"
- [22:29:23] <kingryan>
tantek: perhaps you were looking for the title field?
- [22:29:31] <KevinMarks>
"domain specific languages"
- [22:29:34] <bewest>
yeah, that seems more like a title
- [22:29:38] <kingryan>
you know, the one at the top that usually says something like IMG_04301
- [22:29:46] <tantek>
no because it is not the title of the photo, it is the title of the presentation and thus applies to multiple photos
- [22:29:48] <kingryan>
I don't think tantek believes in titles
- [22:29:58] <kingryan>
oh, so it applies to a set of photos?
- [22:30:01] <bewest>
yes
- [22:30:02] <tantek>
yes, titles are overused/overloaded
- [22:30:13] <bewest>
well, that's clearly a title though
- [22:30:21] <kingryan>
so, the photos are logically groups into a collection with specific order....
- [22:30:26] <kingryan>
hmm, sounds familiar
- [22:30:28] <hober>
It's a title of a set :)
- [22:30:31] <tantek>
creating a set with that name would not yield any prettier a URL
- [22:30:40] <tantek>
they are isomorphic
- [22:30:41] <kingryan>
but it would mean that I was right

tantek: urls aren't titles either though
- [22:31:21] <tantek>
kingryan, they are isomorphic, that's my point, except that tags are less work
- [22:31:30] <tantek>
thus I just use tags
- [22:31:39] <tantek>
the whole point of tags is "less work"
- [22:31:47] <tantek>
that's the only difference between tags and keywords/categories
- [22:32:01] <tantek>
the "lower cognitive load" aspect as Kevin would say
- [22:32:03] <kingryan>
right, but sometimes, if you want things to work in a specific, non-default way, you have to *do work*
- [22:32:16] <kingryan>
right, so take your tagged photos with that tag, and create a set!
- [22:32:44] <tantek>
except that the set creation UI *still* has major problems
- [22:32:52] <tantek>
like putting photos out of order by default
- [22:33:01] <bewest>
yeah
- [22:33:03] <tantek>
and manually reordering 100 photos is again more work
- [22:33:04] <kingryan>
until you click "sort by date"
- [22:33:28] <tantek>
but why should I have to even do that extra work *every* *single* *time* ?
- [22:33:37] <tantek>
why not just support /date-taken
- [22:33:39] <tantek>
?
- [22:33:48] <tantek>
it's such an obvious ordering
- [22:33:54] <kingryan>
I'm just saying it'd be easier than bitchin in irc
- [22:34:10] <tantek>
hmm....I think that violates some tenet of irc
- [22:34:24] <tantek>
or axiom rather
- [22:34:28] <tantek>
nothing is easier than bitching in irc, or some such
- [22:34:30] <tantek>
;)
- [22:35:03] <KevinMarks>
heh
- [22:35:05] <kingryan>
yeah, but you're bitching in the wrong channel
- [22:35:07] <kingryan>

before hovering over the 'elsewhere' link, I guessed it'd go to whatwg
- [22:48:39] <bewest>
hmm that Bjoern guy wrote a pie menu widget didn't he?
- [22:48:42] <bewest>
I never could get it to work

done in "literate programming" style

yeah, hober, me too
- [22:50:03] <kingryan>
but, remember, whatwg is probably too geeky for even most web designers

yes, Hixie and I had different focusses/foci
- [22:58:22] <tantek>
I knew he wanted to focus on webapps/DOM (and I didn't), and he knew that I wanted to focus on making small simple purely declarative data formats work, and he wasn't much interested in those, though we've both taken a liking to each others' efforts.
- [22:59:02] <tantek>
kingryan, yeah, that was a classic wake-up-call Zeldman post
- [23:00:37] <Hixie>
man, w3c is even more fucked up than i thought it was
- [23:00:43] <Hixie>
that's an amazing list of problems
- [23:02:52] <kingryan>
what's most amazing is the time-scale of the problems
- [23:03:07] <kingryan>
I mean, 1 1/4 years to produce a crappy svg of the logo?
