Those who say designing in the browser doesn’t lead to happy accidents have never experienced cached styles from one website being applied to another #web #design

Implementing pingback alone has already caused me more headaches than any other aspect of #taproot. WHY XMLRPC, HIXIE?

New on #taproot: Notes tagged with review get h-review added to their container class string. Not yet sure how to optimise e-description and p-name yet. #microformats

Finished reading Steve Jobs, The man who thought different by Karen Blumenthal.

A nice summary of Steve’s life, with some interesting details I’d not come across before. The technical mistakes were a let–down, and the language was patronising at times (e.g. explaining what “profit” meant).

Woah, pinocc.io looks like a dream come true. I can’t wait to start linking musical instruments up to the IoT.

karlpro I shouldn’t really have to sign up in order to leave a comment, but in the interests of promoting #microformats I will :)

boagworld http://www.examprofessor.com/404 is particularly bad as it makes the visitor feel as if they have made a mistake :/

From Steve Jobs, The man who thought different:

The result, the World Wide Web, what we know today as the Internet

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHH

Just because the book is not intended for a technical audience does not excuse blatant mistakes. If anything, it makes accuracy more important.

aral I find I go in similar “abstraction loops” for many things. Start off basic → try out an abstraction → try out a higher abstraction → and another → get tired of abstractions, return to the original/something similar. The process always informs me in useful ways, however horrible the intermediate results are ;)

Take-away from HMV’s voucher refusal: I am never buying shop-specific vouchers.

After seeing the term “opaque” used frequently but no canonical definition provided, I asked the #indieweb IRC channel and came up with this: http://indiewebcamp.com/opaque

laurakalbag they add significant value to conversations, as they provide a recognisable visual indication of who is speaking and where each comment starts/ends. I am inclined against comments, but would recommend having avatars if you do :)
