I'll get in here if it kills me.
@caseorganic @pjf We actually changed the venue from Bailey's to Backspace! I'm there right now with @aaronpk.
UK geek friends! If you run your own code on your own site and/or care about the web, this is a must: http://indiewebcamp.com/2013/UK #indiewebcamp
@obra Awesome! A long way to go, obvs, but I'm excited. And you're the first 3rd party install, I think! Did you get any of the plugins?
I'm proposing an unofficial Portland post #indiewebcamp get-together tomorrow evening: http://werd.io/event/51c94deebed7de5c2386a1b4/unofficial-portland-post-indiewebcamp-meetup
International man of mystery no longer: the parser knows all.
Mostly enjoyed This Is The End until the last 10 minutes. Really not the message I was looking for, or expecting.
A remote configuration management alternative. Not convinced Puppet sucks though.

@erinjo Beautiful. Thank you! I'll try and get in touch with them (although upstairs at the Ace is working pretty well so far).
Hey, could you use webfist as per-email public key storage & discovery? Yes, right?
@danhon I grabbed a Little Big Burger, but thank you thank you for the theater tip!
I've had more fun at #indiewebcamp than I have with computers in a very long time. You should get involved: http://indiewebcamp.com/Main_Page
I use #nominatim for reverse geolocation in #idno.

Oh, also, #idno plugins can add arbitrary content to any user's #webfinger profile. eg: http://werd.io/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:benwerd@werd.io #indiewebcamp
Weird that geolocation yesterday was working fine, but today puts me about an hour's drive out of Portland. #amherereally
Really enjoying sitting in a room hacking on stuff, with other people hacking on stuff. Could get used to this. #indiewebcamp
I built an easy way to post chickens.
To post a chicken, or series of chickens, the user just clicks on the appropriate content icon:
Note that the content icons are designed to be accessible both on a touch device and with a pointer.
The user is then asked exactly how many chickens they would like to post (with clear messaging: "CHICKEN CHICKEN CHICKEN?").
Once the user has made their chicken selection, a new chicken object is created. An Activity Streams "post" event is called. I've written my chicken plugin to define chicken content as having an Activity Streams object type of "note".
Twitter and Facebook plugins are listening for new "post" events with object type "note". When I post chickens, they're sent one! If I've linked idno with my Twitter and Facebook accounts, the content is sent to those plugins, and they are in turn responsible for sending the content to their respective sites.
My chickens are posted to Twitter and Facebook.
Finally, the default template on my feed defers to my chicken plugin every time someone visits on my site and wants to see my chicken content. (The template there displays chickens with some photographic help.) I've added an h-as-chicken microformat content type behind the scenes, so third-party clients can parse my pages for chicken content. And finally, the Activity Streams content is available to anyone who requests my pages with an Accept: application/json header.
It took 30-45 minutes to code, except for chicken photo search and download time. And here's what a post looks like.

I've been thinking this morning about content types and granular access permissions (which, it turns out, is ground the IndieWeb community has already tread).
Activity Streams is a data syndication format with very granular content types, which is awesome - unless those content types dictate the kinds of content you actually allow people to create with your software.
Why should a content type be strictly a note, or an article, or a place, image, video, application? One of the amazing things about the modern web is that we can combine content types to create experiences that are richer than the sum of their media parts.
At the simplest level, I want to be able to (eg) include a photo with a checkin. But why not construct a post that's a photo followed by some audio followed by some text followed by an interactive widget followed by a non-linear video with an interactive layer on top of it? One of the neat things about the #indieweb is that you control your platform - and that should mean controlling the form of your content too.
Watch this space ...

Hatching a plan for an obvious #indieweb evolution. Should I hack it together today?
<a href="https://twitter.com/TryEventifier/status/348533382675836928">@tryeventifier</a> I also have a bunch of event photos up on http://werd.io, which has feeds tagged #indiewebcamp. Feel free to syndicate.
Ha! No-one came to my session on #following, which means I get to see an extended demo of <a href="http://camlistore.org/">Camlistore</a>. Awesome. #indiewebcamp
