like the 'how it works' index page needs a brief paragraph
ER

"RIOT is a series of subsystems that work together to create a comprehensive source of scraped information. Components include:


* item <brief description>
* item <brief description>
make sense?
maybe. send me WP access credentials if you're willing to so I can see if I can pimp the search.
then you can work on the other thing heh
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
this is free wysiwyg we're dealing with. its probably deliberately dumbed down
but here is what I can do for custom search
it should put the custom HTML into the sidebar

the search is ludicrously easy if we can just edit javascript. We're not trying to do much, just type a word, push a button, and compre the word against a list of words
it doesn't haven't index or search a database or any of that garbo
and the results will be instantaneous. But one has to be able to do custom JS
what wordpress is trying to do by default is search an index of files for a keyword. That's fine, it'll find them. If the agent name is there, it'll return a hit to all pages on which that agent name appears. But it's going to look gross, and it's not going to go straight to the entry
another option would be to create a separate page for every screenshot, listing the name of each agent on that page, and ensuring that those pages appear on the search results ahead of the 'roster' pages - so that if you search for an agent name, you go straight to a page that has a screenshot of that agent's name
but the best thing would be a simple javascript that pops up a little alert box with the agent name and a hyper link to the image where that agent is evidenced.
but...we're also gilding the lily here. The search is a nifty hook, but it's not essential.

I'm up until 5. Let's do some work :)
ER

oh jesus
i didnt mean that
CH

snickers
Evidence page needs a link to a page showing the riot users
we miss about 120 uniques without those screenshots
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
shit youre right

REALLY sorry to point out something else, but the bottom image on the "anatomy of a hit" page doesn't embiggen... should it?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
is it a single image
or a gallery?
single images are fixed, galleries embiggen
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
Single image (the one with the stock intel comms)
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
i can expand it if its too small
oh, yea
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
That's strange to me that it handles images so rigidly like that
CH
Charlie Arnold
you can keep it small, but if you do, load the source image to an external image host (imgur.com for instance) and make the thumbnail a link that opens in a new window to the hyperlink target.
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
I can make it bigger
I can control the image box size
I probably scaled it because it looked good
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
It's just that the comms text is too small to read easily
And the timestamps are super relevant
CH
Charlie Arnold
that's a very good point
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
hey semi
lets just release the santized spreadsheet viewable by link
thats searchable
fuck it
CH
Charlie Arnold
thinking
god we could leave comments on
oh man
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
that would get nasty though
anonymous comments
CH
Charlie Arnold
yes, but we could just delete the shitty ones

... forever
CH

and keep the ones that are like 'this guy lives two blocks from me'
ST

and then you own handling all the doxing
CH
Charlie Arnold
tru tru
ok. I'm over it
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
alright
riot is done
CH
Charlie Arnold
but yes, locked down spreadsheet seems like a comfortable replacement for search
and the resharing of it will be epic
um...let's think about repercussions
what account should own that sheet
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
the throwaway
cleaningress
CH
Charlie Arnold
hey is 'cleangress' a thing?
was thinking about that earlier
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
anything i say is a thing
becomes a thing
thats how things work
CH
Charlie Arnold
it rolls nicer than cleaningress

thats not changeable at this point.

oh ok np

Are we tinyurl-ing the site?
CH
Charlie Arnold
um..yes. I think the way to do it is to leave the inline HTML table in place, but provide a header link (view as google spreadsheet)
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
the rule tomorrow is
we drink every time a res says that we are invading their privacy by putting this on a webpage

OK, my brain is failing me at this point. Time for sweet, sweet sleep. I have to say I'm actually somewhat surprised by some of the absences from the list, moreso than some of those who are present. But damn. Impressive membership list there.

Puzzlingly -- and there may be a perfectly good explanation for this, code wise -- when a page of the site first loads, just for a split second, it's in the font from before and then it turns into the current sans-serif font
CH
Charlie Arnold
I daven't even been hinkring
JE
Jemstar (15/~PIT πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ)
It seems to happen on every page, on both computer and phone

Stylesheet loading delay?
ER
Erich Bacher (@thePrevaricator WI, US)
I noticed it too
it replaces the default style with the custom one
after loading

(Yes, I know I said I needed sleep. Getting there.)
JE

It doesn't affect the functionality of the site
