@bblfish ...tho I will say I am flattered you thought my IRC logs were as pretty as Slack ;-) #indiewebcamp

@bblfish lol! Those are logs from the #indiewebcamp IRC channel! I made the Slack<->IRC gateway so that we have a more accessible entry point for people finding the community for the first time. IRC can be a bit obtuse and cumbersome to newcomers, Slack has done a great job of making the same mechanism more accessible to people.

@oscargodson haha! Forgot about that! There's a group of us in #pdxtech sharing a btsync folder full of passwords... works well!

@kenichi_pdx @kylewm2 Of course you built in support for that! kenichi++

@kenichi_pdx @kylewm2 Oops yep Angelo is what I meant. You can always use sucker_punch for simple background tasks without a full work queue

@kylewm2 Ruby can do this reasonably well. @kenichi_pdx is trying to wrap it nicely as jsonatra

@shazow @kevinmarks @h0ke @slackhq Yeah you could totally do that with the Slack web hooks posting to an IRC bot that's signed in to your bouncer.

@kevinmarks @shazow @h0ke @slackHQ It basically is the Slack web hooks posting to an IRC bot.

@alttext @scottjenson ahh that's too bad. If I had known I wouldn't have just bought my third hub ;-)

@alttext @scottjenson That's great news! I hope it will be a software update since I just bought another hub yesterday.

@jeena How have you been liking Subsonic so far? It's strange to me that there is a "premium" version. If it works well it's probably worth the $12/year to me, but I don't quite understand why they charge for it.

@scottjenson @smartthings That would be nice if it did. I'll have to test if things work with the Internet connection offline.

@kenichi_pdx @incanus77 I actually check in using Swarm mostly these days. Sometimes my watch. There's nothing automatic about it.

@kenichi_pdx @incanus77 Slackers.

@pdxgene Can you point me in the direction of who I can follow up with on this in a week?

@Cheryl_Crowe I don't like my current one, Dora has figured out how to cheat it!

@kenichi_pdx Meanwhile, the prototype of my automatic kitty water dispenser was successful.

@kenichi_pdx I will document the process along with a parts list :-)

@zspencer @kevinmarks @timocratic @SlackHQ @tef no actually the #indiewebcamp IRC on freenode is bridged to the Slack room!

Support discovery of hub+self in HTML <link> tags

The PuSH 0.4 spec says hubs may support &lt;link&gt; tags on HTML pages. It would be great if Superfeedr supported this, to allow more sites to use it. Some web frameworks and hosting environments make it difficult or impossible to set HTTP Link headers, so HTML tags would be the only way to do this.

> In the absence of HTTP [RFC2616] Link headers, subscribers MAY fall back to other methods to discover the hub(s) and the canonical URI of the topic. If the topic is an XML based feed, it MAY use embedded link elements as described in Appendix B of Web Linking [RFC5988]. Similarly, for HTML pages, it MAY use embedded link elements...
