jcastrohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobo14:47
jcastro"garlic powder" doesn't really describe it14:47
jcastro"Adobo seco consists of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dry orégano brujo, and sometimes dried citrus zest."14:48

greg-gtoo bad they don't respect the CC license terms *grumbles*23:03
greg-g(all the photos are photos from flickr that are under a cc license, and all cc licenses require, at least, attribution, which they don't give)23:03
greg-goh, hehe, I see the about now23:04
greg-gsorry jono and redhead23:04
greg-g;)23:04
* greg-g wanders away23:05
* AlanBell wonders if jono has a nice rack23:08
AlanBellhttp://ratemyspicerack.com/23:08
jonogreg-g, there is attribution, under the pic23:09
greg-gjono: ohhhh, I see it now23:09
greg-git wasn't on the main page, I didn't see the other view (where you can comment on them)23:10
* greg-g retracks previous remarks23:10
jono:-)23:10
jonogreg-g, I will ask Aq to add the credit when you have created your pic23:10
greg-gjono: to be extra cool (since now I know it is you/Aq): adding in the license metadata would be great as well: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Web_Integration/RDFaExample23:15
greg-gI see you have the schema.org/opengraph metadata started in there, shouldn't be too hard to add on top of that23:15
AlanBelljono: I like dayinpix, that is fun23:16
jonoAlanBell, thanks!23:18
jonogreg-g, can you drop sil@kryogenix.org an email about that?23:18
jonoAlanBell, if you can use it and post your pic on social media, that would be cool :-)23:19
AlanBellI have G+'d a couple23:20
AlanBellstill want to see your rack ;)23:20
jonoAlanBell, are you into BBQ?23:20
greg-gjono: yeah, will do23:20
jonothanks greg-g!23:20
AlanBella bit, BBQ is my kind of cooking23:20
greg-gcan I get a url for my pix without sharing via G+/FB/PIN?23:20
greg-gmy dayinpix, rather23:21
jonoAlanBell, I am really getting into it23:21
jonogreg-g, I have asked Aq to join23:21
jonohe can answer a few questions23:21
* greg-g nods23:21
greg-gthanks23:21
jonoAlanBell, I just bought http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001I8ZTJA/thevirtualweberb today23:21
AlanBellvery nice23:22
jonoI was using one of these: http://brinkmann.net/products/details.aspx?item=810-7080-K23:22
* AlanBell cheats and uses gas23:22
greg-gyo yo aquarius23:22
aquariusso this is where the community team hang out and control the world from, eh?23:22
AlanBellhi aquarius23:22
jonoAlanBell, yeah I am using gas for grilling, but I want to master smoking23:22
greg-gshhhh, don't spread the word23:22
jonosmoking low and slow is fun :-)23:22
jonoaquarius, yep23:22
* AlanBell wonders if aquarius has a nice rack too http://ratemyspicerack.com23:22
greg-gaquarius: two questions: 1) can I get a URL for my dayinpix without sharing it via FB/G+/Pin first?23:22
AlanBellyeah, we need to get more into the smoking thing in the UK23:23
greg-g2) would be great to add in license metadata as well on the pages, I see you're already doing opengraph and schema.org stuff - http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Web_Integration/RDFaExample23:23
greg-gbut, number 2 I can chat more about later :)23:23
aquariusgreg-g, not at the moment...23:23
jonoAlanBell, ahhh the flavor on the smoker is incredible23:23
aquariusbecause I'm not sure where to do it. :)23:23
jonoand it is fun cooking that way too23:24
jonoAlanBell, I got the Brinkmann because it is electric powered to get started, but I am now moving to charcoal to get that real smokey flavor :-)23:24
aquariusgreg-g, licence stuff, interesting. However... I don't think it would be useful. The page is dynamically built, so all the stuff is javascripted in; we don't *know* the licence info etc until client-side runtime. I can inject rdf at that point, but people who want propagated licence metadata normally want it so that it's fetchable by some sort of semantic web engine scraper bot thing, which doesn't run23:25
aquariusJS23:25
aquariuscorrect me if I'm wrong, of course :)23:25
jonoAlanBell, I did my first pulled pork a little while back - I posted it to http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=603945#603945 - that forum is pretty cool :-)23:25
aquariusI have, myself, always liked smoking, so I'm with jono on this23:25
greg-gaquarius: yeah, I mean, the page of the specific dayinpix are indexable, right?23:26
aquariusalthough I'm not using charcoal, I've gone electric ;)23:26
jonoaquarius, lol23:26
aquariusgreg-g, sort of. It's all built client-side.23:26
greg-gaquarius: so google can't see the content/know what is on the page other than the top meta tags?23:26
aquariuscorrect. The meta tags are added server-side, but we do not cache anything, at all, on the server; it's all derived from the URL.23:27
* greg-g nods23:27
aquariusso we'd have to fetch the licence info at runtime23:27
aquariusand that will happen in JS, *after* a spider has read the page.23:28
aquariusI don't know whether the sort of bot that will read RDFa metadata is capable of running in-page script and reading the generated DOM.23:28
aquariusif it is, adding that isn't too difficult.23:28
greg-gaquarius: yeah, gotcha23:28
* greg-g nods23:28
greg-gok, nevermind then23:28
aquariusI did think about that myself :)23:29
greg-g:) good23:29
aquariusyour point about being able to fish out a URL without sharing is a reasonable one, I'm just not sure where to put that. jono, suggestions welcomed ;)23:30
jonoaquarius, just put a 'link' button next to the social media buttons, I think23:32
aquariushm, yeah, maybe that's the way. What's a recognisable symbol for a link? The two-links-of-a-chain thing?23:33
aquariusam always worried that that only makes sense if you're english :)23:33
jonoaquarius, I think the two links chain thing is best23:33
mhall119aquarius: it didn't post right to my G+ page23:34
aquariusindeed.23:35
aquariusnow why isn't that working?23:35
mhall119worked fine against Facebook though23:35
AlanBellspace in "video conf"23:35
mhall119aquarius: does it not like the space/%20 in "Video Conf"?23:35
aquariusI think it's because of the space, yes23:35
mhall119AlanBell: great minfds23:35
aquariusbut I thought i'd fixed that.23:35
aquariusstupid urls23:36
aquariusah, man, I'm double-escaping it.23:36
* aquarius headbutts everything.23:36
mhall119lol23:36
aquariusright. Do it again but don't put a space in :)23:36
aquariusand I'll fix it for future people ;)23:37
mhall119no, videoconf isn't a thing23:37
* aquarius tries to work out how23:37
aquariusam worried that whether location.pathname arrives in JS escaped or not is browser-specific.23:37
mhall119I used Chromium, fwiw23:37
mhall119well, the webapps PPA version of Chromium23:38
aquariusyeah, it's escaped in ff and chromium23:38
* aquarius rtfs to work out where it's double-escaped23:38
jcastroheya jono/aquarius23:39
jcastroyou guys pick a blogging platform yet?23:39
jonojcastro, not yet23:39
aquariusno, hang on, it *should* be double-escaped.23:41
aquariuswhat I am doing is *correct*23:41
aquariusand google is wrong23:41
aquariusnot that that helps23:42
aquariusjcastro, I am still agonising about it :)23:42
* aquarius debates banning spaces23:42
aquariusgoogle just doesn't let you share a link with a %20 in the url, afaict23:43
jcastrohey so mims/clint and I were like23:43
aquariusthat's ungood.23:43
aquariusjono, how bad is banning spaces?23:43
jcastro"you know, we could just take a javascript markdown editor and add it to a static page, and then feed wordpress"23:43
greg-gof the text? :(23:44
jcastrowhich is basically "hey we should rewrite wordpress." so we punched ourselves in the face23:44
greg-gI want to say "BABY ALARM!"23:44
greg-goh well ;)23:44
aquariusmaybe I can replace them with a Unicode GREEK EMPTY SPACE ALPHA 2 POINTLESS EXTRA CHARACTER marker or something ;)23:44
greg-ghehe23:44
jcastroof course, I meant js widget to feed /octopress/23:44
aquariusgreg-g, you can't do that anyway, you're only allowed 10 chars by design :P23:44
greg-gok, well then, no "!"23:45
aquariusjcastro, yeah, that'd be doable, indeed23:45
jcastrolet's not do that.23:46
aquariusmhall119, you feeling knowledgeable about URLs and like being a sounding-board for a minute?23:46
jcastrothat's how bad things happen23:46
mhall119aquarius: sure23:47
jcastro"well, we started with good intentions, just a quick static generator; and here I am, 9 months later; 40 pounds overweight, alcoholic, divorced, friendless, and it's all in ruby."23:47
mhall119I'll warn you, feelings of knowledgeability don't equate to actual knowledge23:47
aquariusmhall119, right. So, if I want to share a URL http://mhall.com/pies via g+, I can go to https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmhall.com%2Fpies23:48
jcastroalso I was referring to myself in that one23:48
jonoaquarius, I dont think we should ban spaces23:48
jcastrobefore someone comes in with the obvious punchline23:48
aquariusthat is: I escape the URL in the query parameter23:48
mhall119ok23:48
mhall119mhall119.com is the correct domain name though23:48
aquariusif I have a URL with a space in, it'd be http://mhall.com/pies%20and%20chips23:49
aquariusso I should share that with https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmhall.com%2Fpies%2520and%2520chips right? That is: the % in the original URL gets escaped *again* as %25 because it's now in a querystring parameter23:50
aquariusmy reasoning is correct there, I think23:50
jcastrohttp://www.howtogeek.com/121014/x-awesome-new-ubuntu-apps-developed-for-the-ubuntu-app-showdown/23:51
mhall119https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmhall119.com%2Fpies%2520and%2520chips appears to work, yes23:51
aquariushowever, g+ doesn't fetch such URLs correctly.23:52
aquariushttps://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dayinpix.com%2Fl%2F4694605032%2F3019277650%2F4442706561%2Fcoffee%2Fvideo%2520conf%2Fwiki does not work.23:53
aquariusand it should.23:53
mhall119aquarius: try using %2B instead of %2520 to encode spaces?23:53
aquariusI think that's a G+ bug.23:53
aquariusah, man, quoteplus?23:54
aquariusnope, that doesn't work either23:54
mhall119why not? + in a URL is supposed to be substituted for a space23:54
aquariusI know.23:54
mhall119bah, stupic G+23:54
aquariusI've just tried it and it doesn't work :)23:54
mhall119replace spaces with underscores in your URL, and convert them back into spaces in the UI23:54
aquariushttps://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dayinpix.com%2Fl%2F4694605032%2F3019277650%2F4442706561%2Fcoffee%2Fvideoconf%2Fwiki works fine, with no space. If you can make a URL that looks like that but with a space in between video and conf and which correctly fetches the image and description, tell me how, cos I can't.23:55
aquariusstupid g+23:55
AlanBellthat does look a lot like a server side bug in G+23:55
aquariusthe underscore thing... really? <long-suffering look>23:55
mhall119%2b seems to work23:55
aquariusplease tell me I don't have to do that, at five to one in the morning23:55
aquariusreally?23:56
aquariusI put an actual + in :)23:56
aquariusah, but then that's putting an actual + symbol in23:56
aquarius(that is, not the + meaning "I am a space", an actual +)23:56
aquariusso the description and image have "video+conf"23:56
mhall119right, but that you can fix on your end23:57
mhall119right?23:57
aquariusyeah -- that's the same as the underscore23:57
mhall119but this actually follows the URL spec23:57
aquariusbut it's WRONG that I should have to. What if someone actually *wants* a + ?23:57
aquarius"Me+You" as a caption, for example?23:57
aquariusthis is a g+ server-side bug.23:58
aquariusI mean, I may have to just work around it, but it's still a bug ;)23:58
mhall119then you should encode that as a %2B in your url (%252B in G+'s share url)23:58
mhall119but frankly, people are much more likely to want spaces than +'s in their pictures23:59
mhall119(well, except for people who spend a lot of time on G+)23:59
mhall119oh the irony23:59
aquariusI agree with you, I'm just saying that this is a lame google bug that I should not have to work around23:59
* aquarius throws all his toys out of the pram23:59
