demis hi all, I'm about to transfer my domain to godaddy and was reading on the indiewebcamp site the suggestion to avoid private registration. Can anyone here back that stance up, or would godaddy be a case where they can be trusted enough?
sandeepshetty joined the channel
# demis fair enough, good advice thanks. I looked up namecheap before, some people reported having issues, though not so much those hosting themselves which is what I am doing. What's your experience with them been like?

# sandeepshetty pfefferle: yep. the .json will be on disk so no db.
# sandeepshetty it was when to installed converspace & had trouble
# sandeepshetty with the db that got me to look into file based storage.
# sandeepshetty *you installed converspace
pfefferle joined the channel
# sandeepshetty planning on storing comments with the post.
# sandeepshetty depends on what you mean by easier :)
# sandeepshetty I'll be writing a lib to encapsulate locking & atomic writes
# sandeepshetty will pull it out and make it part of github.com/phpish
# sandeepshetty re comments in different files: it's easier to make writes atomic when it's one file than making multi file writes atomic
# sandeepshetty would love to get help and ideas.
# sandeepshetty I have to first move to a host that supports a persistent file system :)
# sandeepshetty I'm currently hosting sandeep.io at AppFog and they don't have a persistent file system yet (it's been their priority for ages now)
# sandeepshetty and all the other PaaSs are to expensive do well have to move to a vps
# sandeepshetty *so will
# sandeepshetty yeah, a PaaS would been convenient but I don't have a choice :)

# sandeepshetty pfefferle: something like this might help with the loading the whole json problem http://www.salsify.com/blog/json-streaming-parser-for-php/1056

barnabywalters morning neuro`
# barnabywalters turns out there is a way to see which twitter users have retweeted/favourited a given tweet — e.g. https://twitter.com/i/activity/retweeted_popup?id=353546206921756675
bnvk joined the channel
# barnabywalters it doesn’t seem to rely on cookies being sent either which is cool
# barnabywalters Loqi: so you can tell us what a tweet says given a link — how about learning to do the same for h-entries?

# barnabywalters anyone here use tumblr at all?
# barnabywalters when someone reblogs your content, do you get notified at all?
# barnabywalters same question for flickr w/ starring
sandeepshetty joined the channel
# barnabywalters tommorris: okay — hm, not sure if that counts as a notification
# barnabywalters is there a fb/g+ style notifications thing which shows you how many you have queued up?
# barnabywalters tommorris: I just signed up recently to see what the UI was like
# barnabywalters I like the way the only actions you can take on content are passive props or actively creating new content out of it
# barnabywalters well, that’s bound to happen everywhere :)
# barnabywalters specifically I’m interested in the difference between usage of retweets and “equivalents” on other silos
# barnabywalters turns out they’re barely equivalent at all
# barnabywalters oh, nice!
# barnabywalters wait, you have all the venues?
# barnabywalters like, *all* of them?
# barnabywalters how do you handle new ones being added?
# barnabywalters cool
# 
tommorris but I have an experimental endpoint up - https://osmvenuetest.herokuapp.com/near?lat=51.518147&lon=-0.180875&count=20
# barnabywalters anyone here seen http://jeffcroft.com/ ?
# barnabywalters he’s doing some interesting stuff, pulling his checkins
# barnabywalters in
# barnabywalters tommorris: that would be cool :)
# barnabywalters hm, that is nice and fast. are you using mongo for this?
# barnabywalters or postgis?
# barnabywalters woah
# barnabywalters cool :)
# barnabywalters I was playing with some tfl london underground data recently — I ended up inadventently unzipping over 1GB of XML
bnvk joined the channel
# barnabywalters I’m guessing the data for the whole of iceland is significantly smaller than the data for london
# barnabywalters huh
# barnabywalters iceland is pretty well mapped
# barnabywalters yep, there are some fun characters like thorn and eth too

# barnabywalters !tell pfefferle, aaronpk I added markup examples to /comment-presentation and /reply-context — does this adequately explain everything we were talking about earlier? http://indiewebcamp.com/reply-context#Markup http://indiewebcamp.com/comments-presentation#How_to_markup
# barnabywalters oh crap Loqi — three people? don’t tell me you’re going to let “I” know when she logs in?
# barnabywalters you need to get your commas in order
