* AaronSw declares a War on Chitchat
00:35:22 [thelsdj]
wouldn't it be somehow ironic if dave died in some freak accident right before he was set to unveil the 'Next Big Thing'?
00:35:27 [thelsdj]
ok i don't even know why i said that
00:35:28 [thelsdj]
hah

you know your low on sleep when you get something out of the refridgerator to microwave, put it on a plate, stick it back in the refridgerator, close the door and start looking for the 'on' button
01:03:06 [sbp]
[off] wow, I didn't know that that was Dave Winer's real name
01:03:22 [sbp]
your? your?!
01:03:53 [sbp]
you know that you're low on sleep when you start using "your" in place of "you're"
01:04:02 [thelsdj]
that too
01:04:25 [AaronSw]
Ooh, Dave Winer is on now.
01:04:27 [thelsdj]
i'm a high school drop out what do you expect?

"Computer software wizard Dave Winer relishes the stream that cuts thru his land. It separates him from [Joan Baez]."
01:06:33 [AaronSw]
"You can hear her practicing, can you?" "I actually can, usually. It's one of the bennies."
01:06:48 [lemonodor]
is this the land of rss-ophiles?
01:07:01 [AaronSw]
lemonodor, it is
01:07:03 [sbp]
it's rss-central
01:07:08 [lemonodor]
oh good.
01:07:13 [sbp]
except for me
01:07:17 [AaronSw]
:-)
01:07:29 [lemonodor]
i was wondering what current, or perhaps, evolving practice is regarding html in feeds.
01:07:38 [deltab]
lemonodor: any channel with AaronSw :-)
01:07:45 [thelsdj]
lemonodor: http://ipwebdev.com/mySubscriptionsToOutline.html <--- fun rss rendering
01:07:49 [lemonodor]
are there any clients that expect html?
01:08:15 [thelsdj]
html has to be stuck in as character entities right?
01:08:19 [lemonodor]
right
01:08:33 [lemonodor]
thelsdj: fancy.
01:09:03 [thelsdj]
i've seen html in a <title> before, and because it was like <i>really</I> it made my xslt conversion die because of bad xml
01:09:09 [AaronSw]
DW: "i think it's a four-year-soul type thing, actually"
01:09:26 [AaronSw]
lemonodor, in RSS 1.0 it should be put in mod_content. in RSS 0.9{2,3} it should be entity encoded
01:09:28 [lemonodor]
well yeah, i generate good xml.
01:09:43 [lemonodor]
i'm just wondering how common it is for clients to be expecting it. and render it.
01:09:53 [AaronSw]
announcer: "football stories for girls"
01:10:10 [sbp]
ooh, like in Father Ted!
01:10:17 [sbp]
heh, that episode rocked
01:10:37 [lemonodor]
e.g., i can't tell if peerkat is expecting it and is just buggy, or wasn't expecting it at all...
01:11:27 [sbp]
heh, heh. this guy on the radio just said that "the Wings are shooting from left to right... across your radio dial"

02:17:22 [wmf]
we were telling wild stories

I need some fully automatic Nerf weapons
02:18:02 [AaronSw]
this just gets worse and worse

you're Dave Winer?
02:18:35 [AaronSw]
nope
02:20:23 [AaronSw]
I'm a GENERIC TALKING HEAD.
02:20:25 [AaronSw]
"You started life as a doormat, the kind of kid who gave his lunch money away on a daily basis. But you showed them. You've become an expert on something that's too abstruse for most people to understand. You clearly know a lot about something, cause you're always getting asked to talk about it. You don't realize that this is just the TV networks' way of taking your lunch money. You probably live somewhere near Washington. D.C. You're also bald. "
02:20:45 [wmf]
well, you're not bald
02:21:15 [wmf]
maybe you can be the GENERIC TALKING HEAD OF THE REPUBLIC
02:21:29 [AaronSw]
I was tempted to make that joke.
02:22:08 [wmf]
I got a new boss today
02:22:18 [AaronSw]
What happened to the old one?
02:23:01 [wmf]
we drove him insane, so he promoted one of us to management as revenge
02:23:16 [AaronSw]
mwahahaha. where'd he go?
02:23:22 [wmf]
oh, he
02:23:34 [wmf]
oh, he's still around. our department split in two
02:23:50 [wmf]
Hasbro's web site is completely useless
02:23:54 [AaronSw]
Are you in the low group or the power one?
02:24:03 [wmf]
lol
02:24:16 [wmf]
that's "power aware" you you, buddy
02:25:07 [AaronSw]
does it download rss feeds and automatically increase power usage based on a keyword system ('global warming', 'drilling')
02:31:54 [wmf]
there are nerf overclockers out there
02:32:29 [AaronSw]
I'm not sure I want to think about that.
02:32:44 [wmf]
it's pretty scary
02:33:00 [wmf]
there are nerf "hardware sites", too
02:33:39 [AaronSw]
I should package up MovableType, rsync and AmphetaDesk and promote it as GNU Radio
02:33:50 [AaronSw]
or maybe Radio GNULand
02:33:53 [AaronSw]
or Radio GNU World
02:34:05 [wmf]
* wmf stands back while UserLand lawyers are released
02:34:16 [sbp]
Gotta run
02:34:29 [wmf]
it should be "Radio Free (as in freedom) ____"
02:35:03 [AaronSw]
After a short meeting with Joan Baez I have reconsidered my naming plan.
02:35:11 [wmf]
lol
02:36:15 [AaronSw]
In that BBC interview with Dave they kept talking about Joan Baez.
02:36:41 [wmf]
bizarre
02:37:40 [wmf]
in that situation I would probably snap and say "if you just want to talk about Joan Baez, why don't you interview her?"
02:38:03 [AaronSw]
I assume he tried.
02:38:12 [AaronSw]
He interviewed Larry Ellison.
02:38:32 [wmf]
that could be interesting
02:38:53 [wmf]
* wmf resists the urge to tell the joke about larry ellison and god
02:39:05 [AaronSw]
He said he wasn't building a house, he was building a garden with a house around it.
02:39:17 [wmf]
feng shui, you know
02:39:35 [AaronSw]
so wmf, can you get me free access to this nationwide WLAN?
02:39:46 [wmf]
I don't know anything about it
02:40:00 [wmf]
I'd be happy to have access to the WLAN at work
02:45:13 [AaronSw]
I wonder when we'll see the version Mojo Nation with mojojojo as a helpful animated character to walk you thru uploading a file.
02:45:18 [AaronSw]
Ooh, Jack Valenti on TV
02:45:26 [deltab]
AaronSw: haha
02:47:30 [AaronSw]
Valenti was in the whitehouse?
02:49:16 [AaronSw]
"Valenti handled the television advertising for John F. Kennedy's presidential campaign. When President Kennedy was gunned down, Valenti was six cars behind him. A few hours later, while flying back to Washington on Air Force One, President Lyndon Johnson named Valenti his first special assistant.
02:49:17 [AaronSw]

whoa, mark from boingboing is in an Apple ad
02:52:09 [AaronSw]
You haven't seen yet?
02:52:13 [AaronSw]
He's in TIME!
02:52:25 [AaronSw]
He's a superstar. Number one on Apple.com.
02:52:57 [wmf]
Cory probably would be cooler
02:53:07 [AaronSw]
Is Cory a switcher?
02:53:14 [wmf]
probably not
02:53:26 [AaronSw]
valenti: "all the moguls [...] thought that if they ignored [television] it would go away"
02:54:15 [wmf]
actually, I can imagine Cory doing a commercial where half of the words out of his mouth are things he just made up and which would confuse all but the most superhepcat audience
02:54:50 [AaronSw]
Heh, I can so see that. "The new iBook's got the hip filepile wuffie!

some SATV stuff is a little sketchy. "yet now HDTV is lower resolution than what we expect from a low end computer"

er, SATN
03:15:31 [AaronSw]
ah.
03:15:34 [AaronSw]
I was wondering....
03:16:24 [wmf]
I wonder if BobF has actually blown up any cheap monitors trying to run them at 2048x1536
03:17:16 [wmf]
"I saw this on OC Zone, it's perfectly--" <boom/>
03:18:53 [wmf]

ooh, did i get quoted?
03:21:57 [AaronSw]
heehee
03:23:20 [AaronSw]
nelson lacked "the motivation for people to participate"???? he was like mr. micropayments! that's not motivation?
03:23:42 [wmf]
haven't you learned from Clay Shirky?
03:24:35 [AaronSw]
i guess not. i can never remember his argument
03:24:54 [wmf]
micropayments are bad. just keep repeating that! :-)
03:25:19 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw rereads
03:25:34 [AaronSw]
oh, users hate micropayments
03:25:52 [AaronSw]
that's so stupid and presumptuous
03:26:27 [wmf]
I got mail from someone complaining that AccordionGuy's SQL has an error
03:26:29 [AaronSw]
don't people understand that the whole point of micropayments it to make the BigCos pay the little guy, not you
03:26:41 [AaronSw]
* AaronSw looks to see if he can spot the error
03:27:05 [wmf]
the syntax is not really the point
03:27:28 [AaronSw]
I know, but it's a geeky joke, so we're allowed to be geeky about it.
03:28:30 [AaronSw]
hm, i'm not seeing it...
03:28:48 [AaronSw]
missing a semicolon?
03:29:41 [wmf]
supposedly missing a TOP clause
03:30:00 [wmf]
(I didn't realize that SQL is related to BDSM...)
03:30:06 [AaronSw]
why would it need a top clause??
03:30:37 [AaronSw]

18:10:58 [Morbus]
most ampheta chat is over in #disobey
18:16:23 [lemonodor]
two things: i'm already wishing that it parsed per-item times (using <dc:date> or whatever), and that the main page listed items in order of date, instead of channels by date.
18:17:03 [lemonodor]
but if the feed don't give you dates, what are ya gonna do, so no big deal.
18:17:55 [bitsko]
hehe, Morbus, is that not your #1 request?
18:18:32 [redmonk]
LOL
18:18:42 [redmonk]
*wink wink nudge nudge*
18:21:20 [Morbus]
lemonodor: you can add the DC stuff if you want.
18:21:25 [Morbus]
without asking for me to do it.
18:21:36 [Morbus]
everything iwthin a feed is usable within the template, whether i recognize it or not.
18:21:48 [Morbus]
take a look in the templates/default/index.html for how it's done.
18:22:09 [Morbus]
for example, there's $item->{description}, so there'd also be a $item->{"dc:date"} if the feed had it.
18:22:11 [lemonodor]
cool.
18:22:30 [sbp]
how do you qualify dc:?
18:22:36 [Morbus]
and yes, along the same lines of what you're asking for, everyone wnats the same damn thing.
18:22:37 [bitsko]
now, if we added a [dc:date "..."; dc:aggregatorSupplied "true"] ;)
18:22:39 [Morbus]
sbp: i don't.
18:22:57 [Morbus]
if the feed uses dublincore: then it'd be $item->{"dublincore:date"}
18:23:00 [sbp]
so if you used a different prefix for dublin core, it'd not be able to rexognizxe it?
18:23:01 [bitsko]
s/dc:a/aggr:a/
18:23:10 [Morbus]
no, you'd be able to use it.
18:23:15 [sbp]
right. so is there anyway to look up a namespace for the prefix?
18:23:16 [Morbus]
if it's in the feed, it's in the tree.
18:23:25 [sbp]
s/anyway/any way/
18:23:27 [Morbus]
sbp: probably.
18:23:31 [Morbus]
off the top of my head, i dunno how.
18:23:45 [Morbus]
but, the filename of the xml feed is stored in $channel->{filename}.
18:23:56 [Morbus]
so you'd be able to open that file and parse prefixes to known URLs.'
18:24:15 [lemonodor]
ouch.
18:24:39 [Morbus]
* Morbus shrugs.
18:24:53 [Morbus]
i was more focused on getting the new backend done this system.
18:25:00 [sbp]
* sbp feels his Ampheta feature request list going up to 3 items
18:25:09 [Morbus]
in .94, i'll be planning on taking every RSS spec and supporting all known items
18:25:36 [Morbus]
the namespace thing and what you want, i'm not exactly clear on just yet.
18:25:38 [Morbus]
but keep talking.
18:26:02 [sbp]
just to be able to always access the dublin core date from a feed
18:26:26 [Morbus]
i've mostly seen people always using dc: as the prefix?
18:26:36 [sbp]
the namespace might even be bound to a longer base URI, so you might have a QName like {http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/da}te
18:26:39 [Morbus]
i mean, regardless of the prefix, you're gonna be able to access it from the feed, one way or another.
18:26:41 [sbp]
yes, but that's just a convention
18:26:55 [Morbus]
but, you're more looking for a "i can always find it here if the feed has it" sort of thing?
18:26:58 [sbp]
right, but if the namespaces were available as variables, it'd make it a lot easier
18:27:12 [lemonodor]
i love the simplicity of rss 0.9x, but i am somewhat flabbergasted that they left out a per-item timestamp.
18:27:16 [Morbus]
so, you'd more want something like $item->{$dc . ":date"}
18:27:23 [Morbus]
where $dc contains the ns prefix?
18:27:37 [Morbus]
lemonodor: winer added it in v0.94
18:27:40 [Morbus]
its called pubDate.,
18:27:41 [sbp]
yeah. I'm not sure of the exact code, but that looks a lot better
18:27:50 [sbp]
perhaps it could have the prefix name and the namespace URI
18:27:51 [lemonodor]
oh right, i saw that
18:27:55 [Morbus]
ok, sbp: how can that be expanded, however?
18:27:58 [pixel]
using dc:date in each item works ok too.
18:28:03 [sbp]
so like ("dc" "http://purl.org/dc/element/1.1/")
18:28:17 [Morbus]
pixel: yeah, that works, but he's concerned about something using "buttfuck" as a prefix instead of "dc".
18:28:27 [sbp]
heh, heh
18:28:30 [Morbus]
sbp:
18:28:35 [Morbus]
ok.
18:28:39 [Morbus]
so, say I have a $namespaces thingy
18:29:00 [Morbus]
you'd want to loop through $namespaces, looking for a $prefix that matches your <dublin core URL> or <favorite doctype>.
18:29:09 [Morbus]
and then you'd be able to $prefix your way to happiness in the feeds?
18:29:32 [lemonodor]
including the 'default' namespace, probably, the one that is usually the rss namespace.
18:29:54 [lemonodor]
since i think someone could be using <rss:items> and such.
18:29:58 [sbp]
right. well, I suppose that for each of the elements, you bind the local name onto the end of the namespace URI-ref, and match it up to the Dublin Core date URI
18:30:18 [Morbus]
hmm...
18:30:24 [Morbus]
i'm not sure how future-happy this would be.
18:30:30 [Morbus]
how many common namespaces besides DC are being used?
18:30:34 [Morbus]
i don't know of many.
18:30:49 [Morbus]
unless, you're considering rss 1.0 module support?
18:31:02 [sbp]
so if you had a structure like [['dc', 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'], 'date'], you could concat [0][1] with [1], and try to match it against http://purl.org/dc/element/date
18:31:28 [sbp]
then that would work against [['blargh', 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/da'], 'te']
18:31:43 [Morbus]
yeah, but why would anyone want to do that?
18:31:51 [sbp]
1.0 modules: it's possible that they canonicalize. I'm not sure
18:32:04 [sbp]
because that's the sort of things that happen in XML RDF
18:32:13 [Morbus]
well, rdf is dumb <g>.
18:32:20 [Morbus]
ok. lemme rephrase that:
18:32:31 [Morbus]
how many toolkits are going to do something funny like what you describe?
18:32:37 [sbp]
remember, it's meant to be a format that machines can produce, and sometimes they just split off the last character as a namespace and use the rest as a name
18:32:50 [sbp]
I think CWM did it at one point, and my first XML RDF toolkit did it
18:33:05 [Morbus]
sbp: hmm.
18:33:13 [Morbus]
i'm gonna have to give it some thought.
18:33:24 [sbp]
it's also more than likely that a serializer is not going to have a list of common prefixes
18:33:32 [Morbus]
i *like* the idea of $prefix and $url, and matching a $url of a known doctype to access the $prefix you like.
18:33:43 [Morbus]
that's suitably generic.
18:33:51 [pixel]
pixel has quit ("Leaving, Swiging My Piece of Ass. http://www.perceive.net")
18:34:00 [sbp]
for example when someone else comes along with a vocab that they call "dc" for short, and the comunity finds dublin core all of a sudden, there's going to be clashes. that's the point of using URI-refs in namespaces
18:34:29 [Morbus]
right, and the $prefix, $url thing would solve that.
18:34:33 [sbp]
absolutely
18:34:38 [Morbus]
cos ultimately, you'd only get a $prefix if it matches the $url you asked for.
18:34:50 [Morbus]
the da / te thing you started talking about confused me though.
18:35:40 [sbp]
for example <dc:te xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/da">http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/da">2002-06-11</dc:te> is basically the same as a property object pair in XML RDF as <dc:date xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">2002-06-11</dc:date>
18:35:51 [sbp]
and <dc:e xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/dat">2002-06-11</dc:e> etc. for that matter
18:35:52 [lemonodor]
it comes down to the fact that to compare tags, you really need to compare <uri:tagname>. but then you also have to make it possible to do that succintly.
18:36:54 [Morbus]
isn't that ugly form though?
18:36:59 [Morbus]
i mean, yeah, its for machiens, but come on.
18:37:05 [Morbus]
the reason i never liked rdf was because it was too wordy.
18:37:10 [Morbus]
and now this is possible? that's worse, imo.
18:37:16 [GabeW]
GabeW has quit ("Client Exiting")
18:37:24 [sbp]
well, that's one of the reasons why XML RDF sucks
18:37:27 [Morbus]
heh, heh.
18:37:35 [Morbus]
well, honestly, i'm not seeing compelling reasons to support the above.
18:38:03 [Morbus]
cos, then i'm gonna have ugly code all over like $item->{$prefix$suffix} and no one will have a clue what is in those without reading code.
18:38:05 [redmonk]
redmonk has quit ("cya")
18:38:07 [sbp]
because it's possible for people to produce XML RDF like that and say that your parser doesn't support it
18:38:18 [sbp]
true. I didn't say it was pretty :-)
18:38:23 [lemonodor]
this is why xml kinda sucks.
18:38:33 [sbp]
plus, as I say, there may be some canonicalization stuff in the RSS specifications
18:38:49 [sbp]
i.e. they may try to fight screwiness with screwiness
18:38:58 [lemonodor]
and almost nobody ever wants to support even the stuff past the most basic parts of xml. it's just too ugly.
18:39:08 [Morbus]
yeah..
18:39:18 [sbp]
frankly, I'm a bit too scared to read the specifications for RSS properly. I remember what happened when bijan did that...
18:39:26 [Morbus]
at this point, i'm probably going to commit to $prefix/$url and $item->{$prefix:wikiname} or what have you.
18:39:39 [Morbus]
and it'll be tested throughout the rss 1.0 modules.
18:39:53 [Morbus]
but if they say i'm going to suck, then i'm going to suck on that other thing.
18:40:09 [Morbus]
i don't want ampheta to get to a point where it's hard to code the damn thing just cos some people think its cute to be esoteric.
18:40:18 [Morbus]
especially when what you're talking about i've never seen in rss myself.
18:40:22 [Morbus]
yet, at least.
18:40:58 [sbp]
right, I recognize the offset
18:41:13 [sbp]
it's XML RDF's fault anyway for sucking ass
18:42:22 [sbp]
nobody wants to implement half this stuff... argh, I want to rant more but...

18:45:50 [Morbus]

are there any limitations to what kind of meta data i can put in an RSS feed? i think a url to mySubscriptions.opml (if someone has one) should go directly in the rss feed rather than requiring an aggregator to have to load and parse the home page just to see if it has a <link> tag for it
20:43:28 [Morbus]
thelsdj: it depends if the reader validates or not.
20:43:36 [Morbus]
in the current RSS doctypes, no, there's nothing for you.
20:44:07 [Morbus]
speaking of which, if you throw your .opml file online, and send a special URL to AmphetaDesk, it can import all the channels from that .opml into your current one.
20:45:43 [thelsdj]
yea i know but i'm thinking way ahead to a distributed ranking system of rss posts :) i want the aggregator to be able to get the subscriptions of everyone you read (who lists their subscriptions) and then recommend new feeds without having to search their homepage for the <link> tag

23:29:54 [Morbus]
