Notes

@tommorris last time Oscar saw an @-name he liked on my screen (cssquirrel) he spent the rest of the day repeating it. Over. and. over. again.

Woah, indieauth.com’s new login flow is so cool. Brilliant work Aaron Parecki! #indieweb #indieauth

Made my first edit to wikispecies. @jwentomologist should be able to add to/benefit from this in his work, I think?

Salvaged three laptop hard dives — almost 1TB of storage for the price of some enclosures.

I deployed a mentions module to my site so I can send/receive pingbacks (and soon, webmention). Test: Aaron Parecki oauth.net cyborganthropology.net indiewebcamp.com

Just found out that English as She is Spoke is on wikisource. Highly recommended to all.

Argh, turns out @twitter is breaking #indieauth by wrapping some people’s rel=me homepage URLs with t.co on profile pages. WILL THE MADNESS NEVER END?

Finished reading The Silent World by Jacques Cousteau.

It’s a bit strange in that it has no real order and is a collection of semi–related stories about the development and use of the aqualung. Very informative about some of the physiological effects of diving.

A particularly potent part is Cousteau’s story of the first time bottom trawling had ever been filmed, revealing it to be a hideously inefficient and ineffective method of trawling. No–one had ever realised before, because no one had ever actually seen a net working.

@briansuda the last decent thunderstorm I’ve seen in SW England was about that long ago too :(

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

adamstrawson lookin’ good! How about some rel=me goodness on those profile links? Helps great tools like identengine.com (⇐ has cool API) exist

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).
