Time	Nick	Message
00:40	pdurbin	talking about openknot: http://irclog.greptilian.com/sourcefu/2015-08-16#i_133223 :)
00:42	prologic	hah
00:55	pdurbin	:)
00:56	pdurbin	If I'm on my phone and find something interesting and relevant to openknot what's the easiest way for me to send a link to this channel? I'm on Android.
00:57	pdurbin	right now I guess I email it to myself. then later from a computer I drop the link in this channel. kind of a pain
00:58	pdurbin	there's got to be an easier way
00:58	prologic	you reckon? :P
00:58	prologic	how about emalining directly to the chanenl?: )
00:58	prologic	openknotopenknot.vz1.bne.shortcircuit.net.au
00:58	prologic	haha
00:58	prologic	okay that isn't up and running yet
00:58	prologic	but it could be that easy
00:58	prologic	I was going to register openknot.org actually
01:03	pdurbin	that would work. but could I get an email alias for any channel on freenode?
01:04	prologic	oh man
01:04	prologic	openknot.io is available
01:04	prologic	but $61 AUD/yr
01:04	prologic	we need a way to "pool funds" together
01:04	prologic	is there such a service/tool/way?
01:04	prologic	for OSS projects to collectively share costs?
01:04	prologic	pdurbin, yup; don't see why not :)
01:05	prologic	it would just be managed by a broker :)
01:05	pdurbin	I mean, should I run one for #sourcefu or something?
01:06	pdurbin	prologic: you have this working already? Can I run your code for this?
01:08	pdurbin	actually, this might work. only sends the subject but I guess that's fine: https://github.com/aaronpk/zen-smtp-gateway
01:09	pdurbin	bear: you probably recognize that guy :)
01:09	prologic	no not yet
01:09	prologic	close :)
01:12	prologic	perhaps I'll do some work on this tonight
01:12	prologic	eh?
01:13	pdurbin	prologic: if you want. or I could try that thing
01:13	prologic	sure
01:13	pdurbin	prologic: maybe since you're a regular in #sourcefu I could use your thing if you set it up :)
01:13	prologic	yeah okay
01:13	prologic	why not
01:13	pdurbin	I mean you could set up aliases for both #openknot and #sourcefu
01:14	prologic	in fact
01:14	prologic	thinking about it
01:14	prologic	we could already do this for you rather easily
01:14	prologic	fetchmail
01:14	prologic	fetchmail + mda
01:14	prologic	pipe to kdb-notify
01:14	prologic	done
01:14	prologic	this could take but a few mins to setup
01:14	prologic	using the kdb irc bot
01:15	pdurbin	prologic: ideally it would send the subject and the body separated by a space. Because when you share a webpage from android via email the title of the page goes in the subject and the link goes in the body.
01:15	prologic	nods
01:15	prologic	why don't you have a crack at this?
01:15	prologic	all you need is 2 things
01:15	prologic	fetchmail + kdb
01:15	prologic	not kidding either
01:15	prologic	it'll work :)
01:16		kdb joined #openknot
01:16	prologic	watch this
01:16	pdurbin	I've never used fetchmail before. (or kdb)
01:18	prologic	$ echo "Hello pdurbin :)" \| kdb-message -t jsonrpc -u http://kdb.vz1.bne.shortcircuit.net.au/json-rpc '#openknot' -
01:18	prologic	ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for kdb.vz1.bne.shortcircuit.net.au/json-rpc: 401 Unauthorized>
01:18	prologic	ok
01:18	prologic	sort of :)
01:18	prologic	gotta figure that out I suppose
01:18	prologic	kdb, die
01:18	kdb	Shutting down...
01:18	prologic	I'll turn off auth
01:22		kdb joined #openknot
01:22		kdb joined #openknot
01:23	prologic	okay
01:23	kdb	<prologicdaisy> Hello pdurbin :)
01:23	prologic	$ echo "Hello pdurbin :)" \| kdb-message -t jsonrpc -u http://kdb.vz1.bne.shortcircuit.net.au/json-rpc '#openknot' -
01:23	prologic	Remote Message sent to #openknot
01:23	prologic	Can you see how easy this could be?
01:23	prologic	fetchmail + kdb-message
01:23	prologic	pipe incoming messages into kdb-message
01:23	prologic	targeting specific channels you want
01:25	pdurbin	Cool but where does fetchmail come in? I thought it was for polling POP and IMAP?
01:32	prologic	yes
01:32	prologic	fetchmail with the mda potion
01:32	prologic	pipe each incoming mail directly into kdb-message
01:32	prologic	or similar
01:32	prologic	you'd probably want to write a shell script to extract the Subject and first line of the body only
01:33	prologic	then pipe that into kdb-message
01:34	prologic	poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 user "user" with password "password" mda "email2irc \| kdb-message ..."
01:36	pdurbin	prologic: I'm heading to bed but I think I'd almost rather write an Android app to hit your JSON-RPC thing directly.
02:10	prologic	ahh yeah
02:10	prologic	taht could work too
11:57		pdurbin_m joined #openknot
11:57	pdurbin_m	openknot · GitHub: https://github.com/openknot
11:58	pdurbin	prologic: nevermind! I found an app that does what I want: Share To IRC - Android Apps on Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrs_apps.android.share_to_irc :)
11:59	pdurbin	nice! it's even open source: https://github.com/RuralRouteSoftware/ShareToIRC
21:07	prologic	pdurbin, nice find :)
21:07	prologic	I assume it all works from the ap itself? :)
21:50	pdurbin	yep. I assume it uses this library: https://github.com/RuralRouteSoftware/jIRClib
22:37	prologic	yeah cool
22:38	prologic	do you envisage this project having it's own mobile app?
22:38	prologic	I didn't get much done last night; was quite tired and big weekend :/
22:41	pdurbin	an openknot app? um. not sure
22:44	prologic	me neither
22:44	prologic	I guess it could happen -- as a client
22:44	prologic	but I think I'm more interested in interfacing different communications together
22:44	prologic	whilst that Share2IRC app is nice and all
22:45	prologic	you should be able to IHMO just email openknotopenknot.org
22:45	prologic	for example
22:45	prologic	and just use the Share -> Gmail button or Share -> Email
23:08	pdurbin	sure. that way it'd work from any phone, any computer
23:29	prologic	nods
